- The Fund invests primarily in equity and equity-related securities in the Asia Pacific Region (excluding Japan)
- The Fund’s investment portfolio may fall in value and there is no guarantee of the repayment of principal.
- The Fund may invest in small-capitalisation or mid-capitalisation companies, whose stock may have lower liquidity and their prices are more volatile to adverse economic developments.
- The Fund’s investments are concentrated in the Asia Pacific Region. Such geographic concentration may result in the Fund being more susceptible to adverse economic, political, policy, foreign exchange, liquidity, tax, legal or regulatory event affecting the Asia Pacific Region.
- High market volatility and potential settlement difficulties in the equity markets in the Asia Pacific Region may result in significant fluctuations in prices of the securities traded on such markets and thereby may adversely affect the value of the Fund.
- The Fund’s investment in emerging markets may involve increased risks and special considerations such as liquidity risks, currency risks/control, political and economic uncertainties, legal and taxation risks, settlement risks, custody risks and the likelihood of a high degree of volatility.
- The Fund may invest in derivatives (“FDI”) and may use FDI for efficient portfolio management (“EPM”) purpose. Risks associated with FDI include counterparty/credit risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, volatility risk and over-the-counter transaction risk. The leverage element/component of a derivative can result in a loss significantly greater than the amount invested in the derivative by the Fund.
- The Fund may pay dividend effectively out of capital which amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor’s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Any such distributions may result in an immediate reduction of Net Asset Value per share.
