Special warning concerning the trackers
AMUNDI’ Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) may be subject to restrictions with regard to certain persons or in certain countries according to national regulatory requirements applicable to those persons or in those countries. It is the responsibility of the investor to ensure authorisation for investment in these products.
![Our product range Our product range](/wp-content/uploads/2015/6/our-product-range_1.jpeg)
Trackers, also called Exchange Traded Funds or ETFs, are index funds that are listed on the stock exchange and replicate the performance of their benchmark index as closely as possible whether it is rising or falling.
Investments in shares of an ETF present the following risks (this list is not exhaustive):
- Equity risk: an ETF may be 100% exposed to market risks linked to movements of the equity components of the index. Equity market movements may lead to significant variation in the net assets, which can have a negative impact on the fund’s net asset value.
- Risk of the loss of invested capital: given the equity risk, investors are warned that they may suffer non-measurable losses in their invested capital, as investments are subject to normal market fluctuations, as well as risks inherent to any security investment. The initial capital invested is not guaranteed. An investment should only be carried out by investors who are able to sustain a total loss of their investment.
Investment in an ETF places an investor’s capital at risk. The amount to be reasonably invested in a fund depends on the investor’s personal circumstances. To determine this, investors must take into account their personal wealth, personal assets, current and future needs, as well as their risk tolerance profile, whether this favours high or low-risk investments. It is also highly recommended that investments be diversified in order to avoid exposure solely to the risks of one particular fund. Investors are advised to seek advice from their usual advisors (financial, legal, taxation) before purchasing any shares.
The terms of any investment in an ETF are governed by the relevant offering documents. The full prospectus of the ETF in question must be submitted to, and should be carefully reviewed by, investors prior to investment.
The reference documents (full prospectus, annual report and periodic documentation) are available on request from AMUNDI and on the website amundietf.co.uk or the AMF’s website ( www.amf-france.org ).

The definition of this term is set forth in the legal terms and conditions of our web site.
The investment products described on this web site are not registered under the U.S. federal securities laws or any other relevant U.S. state laws. Consequently, no investment product may be offered or sold directly or indirectly in the United States of America (including in U.S. territories and possessions), to or to the benefit of residents and citizens of the United States of America and to «U.S. Persons».

Performance
Potential investors are invited to consult the risk profile for each fund referred to in this website, details of which are provided in the full prospectus for the relevant fund.
Investors are reminded that past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns. Shares are subject to market fluctuations, the investments and any revenue from them, either directly or indirectly, may therefore vary downward as well as upward. Returns may also increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations. It is therefore possible that investors will not get back the amount they originally invested, notably as the result of a decline in the value of the underlying index, and may lose all of their investment.
Neither AMUNDI, nor its advisers or affiliate companies, guarantee the value of an index at any given time, nor the results or performance of an ETF based on a market index.
