Please remember that past performance may not be repeated and is not a guide for future performance. The value of shares and the income
from them can go down as well as up as a result of market and currency fluctuations. You may not get back the amount you invest.
The Scottish Investment Trust PLC has a long-term policy of borrowing money to invest in equities in the expectation that this will improve
returns for shareholders. However, should markets fall these borrowings would magnify any losses on these investments. This may mean you
get back nothing at all.
