Risk statement

  • Past performance may not be repeated and is not a guide to future performance. The value of shares and the

income from them can go down as well as up as a result of market and currency fluctuations and you may not get back the amount you invest. The Scottish Investment Trust PLC has a long‐term policy of borrowing money to invest in equities in the expectation that this will improve returns. However, should stockmarkets fall, such borrowings would magnify any losses on these investment. This may mean you get back nothing at all.

  • To ensure compliance with the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD), the board of

The Scottish Investment Trust PLC (the Company) has approved the appointment of SIT Savings Ltd as the Company's alternative investment fund manager (AIFM) under the terms of, and subject to the conditions of, an agreement between the Company and SIT Savings Ltd.
