Can I lose my capital investment in funds?

An investor’s investment value in a fund is determined based on the Unit Price as at date. Unit prices are variable and subject to change, driven by the risks associated with the underlying instrument the fund invests in. This is mainly applicable for Equity Mutual Funds where Unit Prices reflect the change in share prices. But this can also be applicable for Mutual Funds invested in fixed income securities, which are exposed to risks such as default.
