    FOR FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES USE ONLY - NOT FOR USE AND/OR DISTRIBUTION TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC

     

    This is a marketing communication. Please refer to the Prospectus of the Fund/s before making any final investment decisions.

     

    There is no guarantee that objectives will be met.

     

    The portfolio risk management process includes an effort to monitor and manage risk, but does not imply low risk.

    Risk and Reward Profile

     

    This risk profile is based on historical data and may not be a reliable indication of the future risk profile of the Portfolio. The risk category shown is not guaranteed and may change over time. The lowest category does not mean risk free. It is possible that a portfolio stated to have a lower risk profile may in fact fall in value more than a portfolio with a higher risk profile. The Portfolio is in category 6 as it mostly invests in shares and similar instruments which typically experience higher levels of price fluctuations than fixed income securities. The capital is not guaranteed.

    Other Material Risks:

    Market risk - the value of assets in the Portfolio is typically dictated by a number of factors, including the confidence levels of the market in which they are traded.

     

    Operational risk - material losses to the Portfolio may arise as a result of human error, system and/or process failures, inadequate procedures or controls.

     

    Liquidity risk - the Portfolio may not always find another party willing to purchase an asset that the Portfolio wants to sell which could impact the Portfolio's ability to meet redemption requests on demand.

     

    Exchange rate risk - changes in exchange rates may reduce or increase the returns an investor might expect to receive independent of the performance of such assets. Hedging of this risk may not be fully effective and may increase other risks (e.g. derivative risk).

     

    Custodian risk - insolvency, breaches of duty of care or misconduct of a custodian or sub-custodian responsible for the safekeeping of the Portfolio's assets can result in loss to the Portfolio.

     

    Derivatives risk - derivative instruments are highly sensitive to changes in the value of the underlying asset that they are based on. Certain derivatives may result in losses greater than the amount originally invested.

     

    Counterparty risk - a party that the Portfolio transacts with may fail to meet its obligations which could cause losses.

     

    Emerging markets risk - emerging markets are likely to bear higher risk due to lower liquidity and possible lack of adequate financial, legal, social, political and economic structures, protection and stability as well as uncertain tax positions.

     

    Stock Connect - Stock Connect is a new trading programme and the relevant regulations are untested and subject to change. Investments through the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect are subject to additional risks, including amongst others, quota limitations, restrictions on selling imposed by frontend monitoring, ownership of securities held on Stock Connect applicable to certain rules, participation in corporate actions and shareholders' meetings, non-protection by any investor compensation scheme, differences in trading day, operational risk, recalling of eligible stocks and trading restrictions, trading costs (including tax), local market rules, foreign shareholding restrictions and disclosure obligations, clearing, settlement and custody risk, currency risk and default risk.

     

    Sustainability risk - an environmental, social or governance event or condition that could cause the value of the portfolio to go down. Examples of sustainability risks include physical environmental risks, climate change transition risks, supply chain disruptions, improper labour practices, lack of board diversity and corruption. 

     

    Concentration risk - this is a concentrated asset strategy that is likely to exhibit a significantly greater fluctuations in asset values than a broad investment in a wide range of shares of companies. 

     

    Risks associated with investments in China: The Portfolio's operations and financial results could be adversely affected by adjustments in the PRC's state plans, political, economic and social conditions, changes in the policies of the PRC government and laws and regulations, in particular where investments are made through any of the investment regime introduced by the PRC government.

    For more detailed information on the risks associated with an investment in the Portfolio, please refer to the section in the Prospectus entitled “Risk Considerations” and discuss with your professional advisers.

     

     

    General Disclosures

     

    Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) strategies may take risks or eliminate exposures found in other strategies or broad market benchmarks that may cause performance to diverge from the performance of these other strategies or market benchmarks. ESG strategies will be subject to the risks associated with their underlying investments’ asset classes. Further, the demand within certain markets or sectors that an ESG strategy targets may not develop as forecasted or may develop more slowly than anticipated.
