Risk Limit

t1ps Investment Management has considered the risks that might threaten the funds and has established various mechanisms to control these. Primarily this is done through the Risk Management Committee which is made up of the members of the Investment Committee and the Group Compliance Officer

The members of the Committee discuss the performance of the funds regularly and the individual investments on an as needed basis. Each member of the committee may recommend buying or selling any investment provided that it meets the overall objectives of the funds and would not cause any breach of any regulatory limits.
