In addition to the general risk factors outlined in the Prospectus investors should also note that purchase of PSDF shares is not the same as making a deposit with a bank or other deposit taking body and is not a guaranteed investment. Although it is intended to maintain a stable net asset value per share, there can be no assurance that it will be maintained. Notwithstanding the policy of investing in short-term instruments, the value of the PSDF may also be affected by fluctuations in interest rates. The PSDF does not rely on external support for guaranteeing the liquidity of the fund or stabilising the net asset value per share. The risk of loss of principal is borne by the shareholder.
