What are the risks?

All investments carry risks. The value of your investment may fall for a number of reasons, which means that you may receive back less than your original investment or you may not receive income over a given timeframe.

The level of income distributed can also vary from month to month or no distribution may be made.

The value of PCI’s units may decline significantly if PCI’s business, financial conditions or operations are negatively impacted and its units may in turn trade below NTA on the ASX. In these circumstances you could lose all or part of your investment in PCI.

While it’s not possible to identify every risk relevant to investing in PCI, the following sets out some of the risks that may affect your investment. For other key risks, please read the risks outlined in section 7 of the PDS. You should consider with a financial adviser whether the information about PCI is suitable for your objectives, financial situation or needs.

ASX liquidity risk	Units in PCI are listed on the ASX. Although liquidity is generally expected to exist in this secondary market, there are no guarantees that an active secondary trading market will exist at the time of selling units. As a listed investment trust, there is no regular redemption facility for Units.
Investment risk	All investments are subject to risk which means the value of your investment may rise or fall and the level of income distributed may vary from month to month. The Units may also trade on the ASX at a discount to NTA per Unit for short or long periods of time.
Credit risk or default risk	Credit risk is the risk that a borrower or counterparty does not meet its principal and/or interest payment obligations as they fall due. If the credit risk increases for a borrower, for example due to a deterioration in its financial position, the value of the debt instruments of the borrower may fall. There may be a number of reasons why a borrower’s credit worthiness declines such as business or specific sector issues, or general economic conditions deteriorating.
Credit margin risk	Credit margin risk is the risk of a change in the value of an asset due to a change in credit margins. Longer term assets are generally more impacted by credit margin risk than short term assets.
Investment Strategy risk	PCI may be exposed to the risks that are specific to the credit and fixed income assets it invests in. This may include operational, distribution, valuation, liquidity and tax risks that are specific to credit and fixed income assets.
Related party risk	The operation and success of PCI will involve a number of transactions and ongoing arrangements between the Responsible Entity and its related parties. Related party transactions may give rise to conflicts of interest that need to be carefully managed to ensure that priority is given to the interests of Unit holders.
Legal and regulatory risk	Changes in legislation and differences between rules (including interpretation of the law) in domestic and foreign markets, including those dealing with taxation, accounting, investments and the ASX, may adversely impact your investment.
