currency) risks.

subject to higher risks of credit, concentration and default of the sovereign issuer as well as greater volatility and higher risk profile that may result in significant losses to the investors.
• The Fund may invest in Chinese Renminbi interest-bearing securities, convertible bonds and certificates in issued outside Mainland China and assets denominated in offshore Chinese
Renminbi which may subject to higher risks of liquidity, credit/solvency of its counterparties, tax policies and risk of not having sufficient RMB for currency conversion prior to investment.
• The Fund may invest in financial derivative instruments (“FDI”) for efficient portfolio management (including for hedging) which may expose to higher counterparty, liquidity and market
risks. The Fund will not invest extensively in FDI for investment purpose.
• This investment may involve risks that could result in loss of part or entire amount of investors’ investment.
• In making investment decisions, investors should not rely solely on this material.
Note: Dividend payments may, at the sole discretion of the Investment Manager, be made out of the Fund’s income and/or capital which in the latter case represents a return or withdrawal
of part of the amount investors originally invested and/or capital gains attributable to the original investment. This may result in an immediate decrease of the NAV and the capital of the
Fund available for investment in the future and capital growth may be reduced. Dividend payments are applicable for Class AM Dis (monthly distribution) and for reference only but not
guaranteed. Positive distribution yield does not imply positive return. For details, please refer to the Fund’s distribution policy disclosed in the offering documents.
