Investment involves risks. Please refer to the Explanatory Memorandum for details including the risk factors.
1.Investment risks
· An
investment in the Sub-Fund is subject to normal market fluctuations and
other risks inherent in the Sub-Fund's assets. Accordingly, there is a
risk that you may not recoup the original amount invested in the
Sub-Fund or may lose a substantial part or all of your investment.
2. Equity securities related risk
· The
investment performance of equity securities depends upon factors which
are difficult to predict, and the Sub-Fund's equity portfolio may be
relatively more volatile as compared to investments in other relatively
more stabilised financial instruments such as fixed income instruments,
contributing to greater fluctuations in the Sub-Fund's value.
3. Concentration risks
· The
Sub-Fund is subject to concentration risk as a result of investing
primarily in stocks related to a single country (i.e. the PRC). The
Sub-Fund is likely to be more volatile than a broadly-based fund as it
is more susceptible to fluctuation in value resulting from adverse
conditions in a single country.
4. Liquidity risk
· The
Sub-Fund may invest in securities where the volume of transactions may
fluctuate significantly depending on market sentiment. There is a risk
that investments made by the Sub-Fund may become less liquid in response
to market developments or adverse investor perceptions.
· In
extreme market situations, there may be no willing buyer and the
investments cannot be readily sold at the desired time or price, and the
Sub-Fund may have to accept a lower price to sell the investments or
may not be able to sell the investments at all. An inability to sell a
portfolio position can adversely affect the Sub-Fund's value or prevent
the Sub-Fund from being able to take advantage of other investment
opportunities.
5. PRC related risks
· The
Sub-Fund invests in China Concept Stocks and as such will be subject to
the general risks relating to the PRC due to, among other factors,
risks associated with foreign exchange, uncertainty concerning PRC laws
and regulations and government policies.
· Investing
in China Concept Stocks with exposure to the PRC markets involve
certain risks and special considerations not typically associated with
investment in more developed economies or markets, such as greater
political, tax, economic, foreign exchange, liquidity, legal and
regulatory risk.
· There
are risks and uncertainties associated with the current PRC tax laws,
regulations and practice in respect of capital gains realised on
investments in the PRC (which may have retrospective effect).
6. PRC tax risk
· The
PRC Government has implemented a number of tax reform policies in
recent years. There can be no assurance that the current tax laws and
regulations will not be revised or amended in the future. Any revision
or amendment in tax laws and regulations may affect the after-taxation
profit of PRC companies and the business operations of the companies
which the Sub-Fund invests in, hence affecting the performance of the
Sub-Fund.
7. Risk associated with investing in other funds
· The
Sub-Fund will be subject to another layer of fees, in addition to fees
charged by the Sub-Fund, charged by the management companies of
underlying funds. In addition, although the Manager will carefully
select and monitor underlying funds, there can be no assurance that an
underlying fund’s investment strategy will be successful or that its
investment objective will be achieved.
· Conflicts
of interests may arise in a situation where the Sub-Fund invests in
other funds managed by the Manager or its connected persons (despite
that all initial charges and, where the underlying fund is managed by
the Manager, all management fees and performance fees on the underlying
fund will be waived). The Manager will use its best endeavours to avoid
and resolve such conflicts fairly.
· The
Sub-Fund may from time to time invest in ETFs. The market price of the
units of an ETF is determined not only by the net asset value of an ETF
but also by other factors such as the supply of and demand for the units
of the ETF in the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (SEHK).
Therefore, there is a risk that the market price of the units of the ETF
traded on the SEHK may diverge significantly from the net asset value
of the ETF. An ETF’s returns may deviate from the index to which it is
tracking due to a number of factors such as the fees and expenses of an
ETF.
· The
Sub-Fund may also invest in REITs and as such may be subject to risks
inherent in such underlying funds. REITs primarily invest in real estate
and may be more volatile than other securities as they may trade less
frequently and in smaller volume.
8. Currency risk
· The
assets held by the Sub-Fund may be held in various currencies different
from the base currency. The Net Asset Value of the Sub-Fund may be
strongly influenced by movements in exchange rates regardless of the
performance of its underlying portfolio. In addition, any class not
denominated in the base currency is exposed to possible adverse currency
fluctuations between its currency of denomination and the base
currency.
9. Hedged class risk
· The
Manager generally seeks to hedge the foreign currency exposure of any
hedged share class to the base currency, with the aim of reducing the
impact of currency fluctuations of the relevant class currency against
the base currency. Investors in hedged classes bear the associated costs
and may also be exposed to the risks associated with the instruments
used in the hedging process. There is no guarantee that the desired
hedging instruments will be available or that the hedging techniques
employed by the Manager will be effective in achieving their desired
result. Hedging can also limit potential gains of a hedged share class.
Whilst hedging may protect investors against a decrease in the value of
the base currency relative to the relevant class currency, it may also
preclude investors from benefitting from any increase in value of the
base currency. Investors should also be aware that the volatility of a
hedged class may be higher than that of the equivalent class denominated
in the Sub-Fund's base currency.
10. Dividends risk
· The
Manager may, in its discretion, pay distributions out of gross income
while charging/ paying all or part of the Sub-Fund's fees and expenses
to/out of the capital of the Sub-Fund, resulting in an increase in
distributable income for the payment of distributions by the Sub-Fund
and therefore, the Sub-Fund may effectively pay distributions out of
capital. This may reduce the capital that the Sub-Fund has available for
investment in future and may constrain capital growth.
· Payments
or dividends out of capital or effectively out of capital amounts to a
return or withdrawal of part of the amount investors originally invested
or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Any
distributions involving payment of distributions out of or effectively
out of the Sub-Fund's capital may result in an immediate decrease in the
Net Asset Value. The Manager may amend the distribution policy subject
to the SFC's prior approval and by giving not less than one month's
prior notice to investors.
The objective of the Sub-Fund is to achieve long-term capital growth in the value of assets by investing in companies which the Manager believes will benefit from the economic growth and development of China. The Sub-Fund will seek to achieve its investment objective by primarily investing in China Concept Stocks (as defined below), which are listed on stock exchanges outside the People's Republic of China (the "PRC").
The Sub-Fund will invest at least 70% of its Net Asset Value in China Concept Stocks.
The
Sub-Fund will seek to achieve its investment objective by primarily
investing directly in “China Concept Stocks”, which are equities issued
by:
(a) companies domiciled in the PRC, Hong Kong or Macau but listed on a stock exchange outside of the PRC; and
(b) companies domiciled, and listed on a stock exchange, outside of the PRC, whose:
(i) operations or assets are based mainly in the PRC, Hong Kong and/or Macau;
(ii)
management or ownership is mainly controlled by an entity that is
established or incorporated in the PRC, Hong Kong or Macau; or
(iii)
revenues or profits are mainly derived from the PRC, Hong Kong and/or
Macau, including but not limited to H-Shares, S-Chips and P-Chips.
The
Sub-Fund may also gain indirect exposure to China Concept Stocks by
investing in exchange traded funds (ETFs), unlisted funds and real
estate investment trusts (REITs).
The Sub-Fund may invest less than 30% of its Net Asset Value in China A-Shares and B-Shares directly through the Manager’s status as a renminbi qualified foreign institutional investor (RQFII)/ qualified foreign institutional investor (QFII) and the Stock Connect (i.e. the mutual stock market access between Mainland China and Hong Kong, comprising the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect) or indirectly through investing in ETFs listed in or outside of the PRC and other eligible collective investment scheme as defined under the Code.
The Sub-Fund will not hold more than 30% of its Net Asset Value in cash or cash equivalents and money market instruments.
The Sub-Fund will not invest in unlisted equities of companies domiciled in the PRC, bonds or debt securities. The Sub-Fund will also not invest in financial derivative instruments, structured products or asset-backed securities, nor will it enter into any securities lending, repurchase or reverse repurchase transactions or similar over-the-counter transactions. If this changes in the future, the prior approval of the SFC (if required) will be sought and not less than one month’s notice will be provided to unitholders before the Sub-Fund enters into any such transaction.
The Sub-Fund’s investment portfolio will be
determined using value investing strategies and fundamental, bottom-up
research approach, meaning that each stock will be selected by the
Manager for inclusion in the Sub-Fund’s equity portfolio based on its
individual merits. The Manager will look for undervalued securities with
potential for capital appreciation over the long term. While effective
stock selection is the key to the performance of the Sub-Fund, exposure
to industry sectors will also be monitored as part of the portfolio
construction process.
The Sub-Fund will not use derivatives for any purposes.
