Past performance may not be repeated and is no indicator of 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 and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. SIT has a long term policy of borrowing money to invest in equities in the expectation that this will improve returns and, should stockmarkets fall, such borrowings would magnify losses on these investments. The Trust can buy back and cancel its own shares.  All other things being equal, this would have the effect of increasing gearing.  For planning purposes, an investment in The Scottish Investment Trust PLC should be viewed as a long term commitment.
