  • The value of bonds are likely to decrease if interest rates rise and vice versa.
  • Issuers may not be able to repay their debts, if this happens the value of your investment will decrease. This risk is higher where the fund invests in a bond with a lower credit rating.
  • The fund relies on other parties to fulfill certain services, investments or transactions. If these parties become insolvent, it may expose the fund to financial loss.
  • While it is intended that the distributing share classes will maintain a share price of £1, this may not be achieved due to the creditworthiness of the issuers of investments held or changes in interest rates.

IMPORTANT RATINGS DISCLOSURES

Ratings represent the opinions of the rating agency as to the quality of the securities they rate. Standard & Poor's, Moody's, Fitch and NAIC ratings rate the investment quality of the fund's shares. Independent rating agency ratings include, but are not limited to, a regular analysis of a fund's liquidity, diversification, operational policies and internal controls, its management characteristics and the creditworthiness of its assets.

Ratings are not intended as a recommendation and are subject to change. Ratings are relative and subjective and are not absolute standards of quality. The portfolio's credit quality does not remove market risk.

Fitch Rating's money market fund ratings are an opinion as to the capacity of a money market fund to preserve principal and provide shareholder liquidity. Money market fund ratings are distinguished from the long-term credit-rating scale by the ‘mmf’ rating subscript and range from ‘AAAmmf’ to ‘Bmmf’. For more information, please visit: http://www.fitchratings.com/creditdesk/public/ratings_defintions/index.cfm. Moody's Investors Services Inc.'s money market fund ratings are opinions of the investment quality of shares in mutual funds and similar investment vehicles which principally invest in short-term fixed income obligations. As such, these ratings incorporate Moody's assessment of a fund's published investment objectives and policies, the creditworthiness of the assets held by the fund, the liquidity profile of the fund's assets relative to the fund's investor base, the assets' susceptibility to market risk, as well as the management characteristics of the fund. For more information, please visit:  http://v3.moodys.com/researchdocumentcontentpage.aspx?docid=PBC_79004. Standard & Poor's money market fund ratings are forward-looking opinions about a fixed-income fund's capacity to maintain stable principal (net asset value). When assigning a principal stability rating to a fund, Standard & Poor's analysis focuses primarily on the creditworthiness of the fund's investments and counterparties, and also its investments maturity structure and management's ability and policies to maintain the fund's stable net asset value. For more information, please visit: http://www.understandingratings.com. The Institutional Money Market Funds Association (IMMFA) funds are European money market funds triple-A rated by one or more of the ratings agencies such as Fitch Ratings, Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investor Service to ensure continued compliance with rating criteria. Only this type of fund is awarded the lowest susceptibility to interest-rate volatility. For complete information on the methodology used by IMMFA please visit: http://www.immfa.org

1 One Week GBP LIBID Index - 1 week London Interbank Bid Rate - The average interest rate which major London banks borrow deposits from other banks.

One Month GBP LIBID - 1 month London Interbank Bid Rate - The average interest rate which major London banks borrow deposits from other banks.

SONIA - the standard interest rate at which banks provide loans to each other with a duration of 1 day within the Sterling market.

* The Mark to Market NAV is a calculation of the underlying aggregate value of the securities in a fund's portfolio using current market quotes or other performance metrics. It is important to note this is being provided for informational use only and investors cannot transact on the mark to market NAV. The Morgan Stanley Liquidity funds continue to operate at a stable net asset value in their distributing shares utilising amortised cost accounting.

Each Fund is authorised to invest up to 100% of its assets in Money Market Instruments issued or guaranteed separately or jointly by a Sovereign Entity and by any other member states of the OECD and their central authorities or central banks subject to certain conditions. Please see Prospectus for further details.

External credit ratings solicited and paid for by the Manager of the Funds. 

The Fund is not a guaranteed investment and is different from an investment in deposits. The Fund does not rely on external support for guaranteeing the liquidity of the Fund or stabilising the NAV per share. The value of investments and the income from them may go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount you originally invested.

 
 

WAM is the weighted average maturity of the portfolio. The WAM calculation utilizes the interest-rate reset date, rather than a security's stated final maturity, for variable- and floating- rate securities. By looking to a portfolio's interest rate reset schedule in lieu of final maturity dates, the WAM measure effectively captures a fund's exposure to interest rate movements and the potential price impact resulting from interest rate movements.

 

WAL is the weighted average life of the portfolio. The WAL calculation utilizes a security's stated final maturity date or, when relevant, the date of the next demand feature when the fund may receive payment of principal and interest (such as a put feature). Accordingly, WAL reflects how a portfolio would react to deteriorating credit (widening spreads) or tightening liquidity conditions.
