Strategy

Seeks long-term capital appreciation by:

Investing primarily in Chinese A-share stocks that possess both attractive valuation and compelling return potential
Constructing a portfolio of high-conviction investments from across multiple industries or sectors
Employing a disciplined, bottom-up approach that combines fundamental research with proprietary quantitative tools to identify attractive investment opportunities while managing risk

The value of an investment can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the full amount they invested. Capital is at risk.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.

The Fund is not managed to target or exceed the performance of any specific benchmark, nor are investment decisions constrained by any benchmark. However, investors can assess the performance of the Fund against index shown.

The display above shows the performance based on total return net of management fees, but does not reflect sales charges or the effect of taxes. The figures therefore do not reflect the actual return to an investor.

The charges paid by the Fund are used to pay the costs for running the Fund, including the costs of marketing and distributing it. These charges reduce the potential return of your investment. For a complete description and full details of the applicable costs and charges, please refer to the Fund’s Prospectus.

The Management Fee is an annual fee paid to the management company to which the management of the Fund has been delegated. Out of this fee, the management company pays the investment management fee to the Investment Manager but also may pay other service providers.

The Performance Fee (if any) is paid to the Investment Manager under certain specific conditions.

The Ongoing Charges are charges taken from the Fund over a year based on expenses for the year. This figure may vary from year to year. It excludes performance fees (if any), portfolio transaction costs, except in the case of an entry/exit charge paid by the Fund, when buying or selling units in another collective investment undertaking. The Ongoing Charges figure can help you compare the annual operating expenses of different funds.

The Entry and Exit Charges shown are maximum figures and are one-off charges taken before or after you invest in the Fund.

Investment Risks to Consider

These and other risks are described in the Portfolio's prospectus

Investment in the Portfolio entails certain risks. Investment returns and principal value of the Portfolio will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Some of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio include:

China equities risk: the China Connect Scheme. A Portfolio of the Fund may invest directly or indirectly in eligible China A shares (“China Connect Securities”) through the China Connect Scheme, including investment in financial instruments and other market access products linked to China Connect Securities. Please read the Prospectus for full details of this.
China market risk: The Fund may invest in domestic securities of issuers located in China and so may be directly affected by volatility in securities markets in China and changes in the economic and political climate in China generally. The legal and regulatory framework for capital markets in China may not be as well developed as those of developed countries and entails additional risks.
Currency transactions risk: Transactions in currencies may include options, forwards, futures and swaps and are subject to a number of risks, in particular, the risk posed by fluctuations in the market price of currency contracts.
Derivatives risk: The Portfolio may include financial derivative instruments. These may be used to obtain, increase or reduce exposure to underlying assets and may create gearing; their use may result in greater fluctuations of the net asset value.
Emerging-markets risk: Where the Portfolio invests in emerging markets, these assets are generally smaller and more sensitive to economic and political factors, and may be less easily traded, which could cause a loss to the Portfolio.
Equity securities risk: The value of equity investments may fluctuate in response to the activities and results of individual companies or because of market and economic conditions. These investments may decline over short- or long-term periods.
Portfolio turnover risk: A portfolio may be actively managed and turnover may, in response to market conditions, exceed 100%. A higher rate of portfolio turnover increases brokerage and other expenses. High portfolio turnover may also result in the realization of substantial net short-term capital gains, which may be taxable when distributed.
