Main Risks of Carmignac Portfolio EM Debt
          Emerging Markets
          Operating conditions and supervision in "emerging" markets may deviate from the standards
          prevailing on the large international exchanges and have an impact on prices of listed
          instruments in which the Fund may invest.
          Interest rate
          Interest rate risk results in a decline in the net asset value in the event of changes in
          interest rates.
          Currency
          Currency risk is linked to exposure to a currency other than the Fund’s valuation currency,
          either through direct investment or the use of forward financial instruments.

          Credit
          Credit risk is the risk that the issuer may default.

          The Fund presents a risk of loss of capital
