Interest Rates: Rising interest rates can impact bond valuations within the fund, potentially lowering the fund's price if it holds fixed-income assets.

Currency Exchange Rates: Fluctuations in exchange rates can affect the value of international assets held within the fund.

Fund Size: Very large funds can sometimes face challenges in generating outperformance due to increased difficulty in managing large asset bases.
