When investing in funds, investors take identical risks, albeit smaller, than they would if they opted for direct investment in the assets that make up the funds' patrimony, since that risk is “diluted” in the various types of assets.

In general, the most relevant risks are:

  • Yield Risk: associated with the change in the value of the assets that make up the fund's portfolio, which causes the value of the participation unit to vary;
  • Credit Risk: associated with the possibility of default from bond issuers, or with falling prices due to the effect of the deterioration of credit quality;
  • Interest rate risk: associated with the variation in interest rates (the rise in interest rates devalues ​​the bond price and the value of the participation unit, however, having a positive effect on the remuneration of the reinvestment of the coupon; interest rates value bonds and participation units);
  • Operational Risk: associated with losses resulting from human error, system failures or incorrect valuation of assets;
  • Exchange rate risk: associated with the loss of value of investments in foreign currency, due to exchange rate depreciation;
  • Tax Risk: related to adverse changes in the tax regime, which may decrease the potential return on fund assets.
