Small-cap equities: general risks to take into account when investing in small-cap equity strategies.
Please note that all investments are subject to market fluctuations.  Investing in a small-cap equity strategy may be subject to country risk and equity market risks, which could negatively affect performance. Under unusual market conditions, these specific risks can increase significantly. Potential investors should be aware that changes in the actual and perceived fundamentals of a company may result in changes to the market value of the shares of such company. Equities of companies with small capitalisation can be more volatile than equities of mid and large companies and may also be less liquid. 

The value of your investment may fluctuate. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Do not take unnecessary risks. Before you invest, it is important that you are aware of and are informed about the characteristics and risks of investing. This information can be found in the available documents of the strategy and/or in the agreements that are part of the service you choose or have chosen. 
 
Il y a un dicton en néerlandais, Kom verder, qui ui signifie beaucoup de choses, et c'est notre philosophie d'entreprise. Il reflète la façon dont nous travaillons avec nos clients, mais aussi la manière dont nous dirigeons nos entreprises participantes pour créer de la valeur pour les actionnaires grâce à un engagement actif.

Risque de perte en capital. La valeur des investissements et des revenus qui en découlent peut évoluer à la hausse comme à la baisse. Les investisseurs sont susceptibles de ne pas récupérer l’intégralité de leur investissement initial. Les performances passées ne présagent pas des performances futures et ne sont pas constantes dans le temps.
