Fund specifc risks
Jupiter Global Emerging Markets Short Duration Bond:
The fund invests in emerging markets which carry increased volatility and liquidity risks. It may invest in bonds which have a low or no credit rating including high yield and distressed bonds. These bonds may offer a higher income but carry a greater risk of default, particularly in volatile markets. Monthly income payments will fluctuate. In difficult market conditions, it may be harder for the manager to sell assets at the quoted price, which could have a negative impact on performance. In extreme market conditions, the fund’s ability to meet redemption requests on demand may be affected. Some share classes charge all of their expenses to capital, which can reduce the potential for capital growth. Please see the Prospectus for information. The KIID/KID and Prospectus are available from Jupiter on request. This fund can invest more than 35% of its value in securities issued or guaranteed by an EEA state.
Jupiter Global Emerging Markets Corporate Bond:
The fund invests in emerging markets which carry increased volatility and liquidity risks. It invests primarily in bonds which have a low or no credit rating including high yield and distressed bonds. These bonds may offer a higher income but carry a greater risk of default, particularly in volatile markets. Monthly income payments will fluctuate. The fund uses derivatives, which may increase volatility. Investment in financial derivative instruments can introduce leverage risks which can amplify gains or losses in the fund. Counterparty risk may cause losses to the Fund. In difficult market conditions, it may be harder for the manager to sell assets at the quoted price, which could have a negative impact on performance. In extreme market conditions, the fund’s ability to meet redemption requests on demand may be affected. Some share classes charge all of their expenses to capital, which can reduce the potential for capital growth. Please see the Prospectus for information.

Jupiter Emerging Market Debt Fund
- Investment risk – there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its objective. A capital loss of some or all of the amount invested may occur.
- Emerging markets risk – less developed countries may face more political, economic or structural challenges than developed countries.
- Credit risk – the issuer of a bond or a similar investment within the Fund may not pay income or repay capital to the Fund when due. Bonds which are rated below investment grade are considered to have a higher risk exposure with respect to meeting their payment obligations.
- Bond Connect Risk – The rules of the Bond Connect scheme may not always permit the Fund to sell its assets, and may cause the Fund to suffer losses on an investment.
- Interest rate risk – investments in bonds are affected by interest rates and inflation trends which may affect the value of the Fund.
- Liquidity risk – some investments may become hard to value or sell at a desired time and price. In extreme circumstances this may affect the Fund’s ability to meet redemption requests upon demand.
- Currency risk – the Fund can be exposed to different currencies. The value of your shares may rise and fall as a result of exchange rate movements.
- Derivative risk – the Fund uses derivatives to generate returns and/or to reduce costs and the overall risk of the Fund. Using derivatives can involve a higher level of risk. A small movement in the price of an underlying investment may result in a disproportionately large movement in the price of the derivative investment. Derivatives also involve counterparty risk where the institutions acting as counterparty to derivatives may not meet their contractual obligations.
- Capital erosion risk – the Fund takes its charges from the capital of the Fund. Investors should be aware that there is potential for capital erosion if insufficient capital growth is achieved by the Fund to cover the charges. Capital erosion may have the effect of reducing the level of income generated.

The value of active minds: independent thinking
A key feature of Jupiter’s investment approach is that we eschew the adoption of a house view, instead preferring to allow our specialist fund managers to formulate their own opinions on their asset class. As a result, it should be noted that any views expressed – including on matters relating to environmental, social and governance considerations – are those of the author(s), and may differ from views held by other Jupiter investment professionals.
