Investment Risks Associated with Financial Products
The financial instrument transactions conducted on behalf of the client shall include investments made inshares, bonds with new share warrants, bonds issued by public corporations, and other instruments (includingcases where investments are made via investment trusts and through Limited Partnerships). Consequently,
the prices of shares and other investments may decline as a result of the effects of domestic and overseas
economic variables and political circumstances, fluctuations in interest rates, and changes in the performanceand financial standing of the issuing entities, resulting in investment losses.
Financial products may also make use of derivative transactions. Such transactions utilize leverage in excessof the margin amount, and if prices change as a result of the fluctuations in the securities and indexes thatserve as the underlying assets, it is possible that losses in excess of the amount of the margin deposited will
be incurred. Also, the leverage rates vary continuously as a result of changes in investment policies anddomestic and overseas market environments, and consequently they cannot be specified in advance. During
the terms of derivative transactions, Nomura Asset Management shall deposit margins taken from thecontract assets in amounts that it determines to be suitable based on calculations performed by the securities
companies with which the orders are placed.
