Interest Rates: Changes in interest rates affect the valuation of fixed-income assets held within the fund and indirectly influence equity valuations, impacting the fund's NAV. Fund Size & Flows: Large inflows or outflows can necessitate buying or selling assets, potentially impacting prices and transaction costs, which ultimately affects the fund's value.

Regulatory Changes: New regulations or changes in existing ones can affect the fund's investment strategy, operational costs, and the attractiveness of its underlying assets. Currency Fluctuations: For funds investing in foreign assets, exchange rate movements impact the value of those assets when translated back into the fund's base currency.
