Notes on Product Risk Ratings:
The numeric product rating of a product is an indication of its risk on a scale of 1 to 6, where 1 is the lowest and 6 the highest risk category. Higher product risk ratings will tend to primarily reflect greater volatility of the market factors affecting the product’s value than for lower risk products. Higher product risk ratings also apply to products with restrictions on redemptions, products that are infrequently traded or other factors affecting the determination of a realizable market price. The Product Ratings are not intended to consider additional risk factors that are external to the product. Examples of such external factors include investments funded with loans and translation risk of products denominated in currencies other than the investor’s home currency. Please refer to the Bond List which provide general guidance on what product ratings are intended to indicate. Investors must understand that market conditions change and the product’s risk may increase or decrease over its life. If you require further clarification on product ratings, please ask your Relationship Professional.
