10 10 Investments Gateway Portfolio How do I choose the best funds for me? It is important to be realistic when choosing how and where to invest your money. Be clear about what your needs and investment goals are and consider how much risk you are comfortable with, what kind of return you are looking for and when you will need access to your money. Investment risk versus return Your attitude to risk is probably the most important factor affecting the funds you choose and you will need to decide how much risk you are willing to take with your money. All investments involve an element of risk. Even in funds considered low-risk there may be the potential to lose money due to fluctuations in interest rates or otherwise. The level of risk is linked to the potential level of return; usually, the higher the risk, the greater the potential for a good return on your investment. However, high-risk investments also tend to have more sudden, short-term negative changes in value, which may not suit some investors. When you invest, you want to get the best return for your chosen level of risk. If you want more modest, predictable returns, a low-risk fund may be best. If you are happy to let your investment rise and fall with the potential of higher returns in the long term, high-risk funds may suit you. The expected returns for different types of funds can also vary greatly. Investment time versus access to your investment Some funds are more suitable as long-term investments, giving your money time to grow, while other funds are more suited to shorter investment times. An investment to help pay for your children s education, for example, may be longer term, while saving for a deposit on a house might be shorter term. If you need to have immediate access to your investment, some funds such as property funds will not be suitable for you, as these types of funds may have restrictions on when and how you can withdraw your money. Talk to your Financial Advisor for more information and help on choosing the best funds for you.

11 11 Investments Gateway Portfolio Choosing where to invest Some funds invest in a single asset class while others are more diversified and invest in multiple asset classes. Our funds invest in a range of asset types including equities, property, fixed-interest, cash-type instruments and commodities, each offering a different investment approach and level of risk. The major asset types are as follows: Cash-type instruments Cash-type instruments have a lower risk than other asset types but also tend to have smaller returns. They are often compared to leaving money on deposit at a bank and are best suited to cautious investors who do not want too much risk. Even in cash-type instruments there may be potential to lose money and the return on the investment may not keep pace with inflation so the inflation-adjusted value of the investment may drop. Fixed-income Fixed-income securities, or bonds as they are also known, are essentially loans issued by governments or corporations to investors. Investors lend money to governments or large companies, who issue a bond in return promising to pay interest on the loan at regular intervals and pay back the full amount at an agreed future date. Fixed-income securities, or bonds, are usually seen as a low-risk investment, though there is still the potential to lose money. Property Investing in property as an asset class usually refers to investing in commercial office, retail or industrial property, allowing investors to benefit from the potential returns available without having to invest the large amounts of money and time needed to buy a commercial property. However as property is less liquid than other asset types, there may be limits to when investors can switch or cash-in their investment. Property funds are usually considered medium-risk investments. Equities (or stocks) Equities, or stocks as they are also known,s represent units of ownership in a company that are traded on stock markets around the world. Stock prices are volatile which means they can go up and down on a daily basis, but equities tend to have better positive long-term returns than many other types of funds. Equities are usually considered high-risk investments and are not suitable for short-term investment. Commodities Commodities are basic goods and raw materials, such as grains, gold, beef or oil that are traded in markets or exchanges around the world, often through futures contracts. Commodity prices are determined by supply and demand, so values can change daily. They are viewed as a high-risk investment but can offer higher returns and can be a good way to add diversity to an investment portfolio but are not suitable for short-term investment.

12 12 Investments Gateway Portfolio How is my money invested? You can choose to invest in up to ten different funds and your money will be used to buy units in the funds you have chosen. After your money has been invested, the value of your investment will be linked to the units in your chosen funds. The value of fund units can change every day, for example due to changes in the value of the underlying investments. The actual amount invested in your chosen funds is calculated as the investment amount multiplied by the relevant allocation rate. Your allocation rate will depend on how much you have invested. Allocation rates for Gateway Portfolio are shown in the table below. Investment amount Allocation rate Less than 149, % 150,000 to 499, % More than 500, % The Finance Act 2009 introduced a 1% levy on premiums paid into life assurance and investment policies in respect of premiums received on or after 1st August Please note the 1% Government Levy will be due in addition to your investment amount. Example Premium amount 50,000 1% Government Levy Allocation rate 100% Investment amount 49, Talk to your Financial Advisor for more information on allocation rates.

13 13 Investments Gateway Portfolio Switching funds Gateway Portfolio gives you the flexibility to switch funds. Switching funds lets you change your investment choices as your circumstances change. In the early years of your investment, you might want to invest in high-risk funds that have the potential for greater returns. If your investment grows, you might want to move your money into low-risk and more secure funds with the aim of protecting your savings. Please note, in certain circumstances there may be restrictions on when you can switch funds. In particular, this can apply to investments in a property fund. How do I switch funds? We strongly recommend that you talk to your Financial Advisor before you switch funds to make sure that you choose the best funds for you. You can also contact our Customer Services Team by phone on , by at customerservices@canadalife.ie, or online by visiting customer-services. Your first two switches in each policy year are free. Any additional switches will be charged at 25 each.
