The Fund invests in a diversified range of international equities and debt securities (including emerging markets), generally with a focus on Asian equities.

The Fund may be subject to risks relating to investment, investment strategy, equities and equity-related securities and the risks of investing in small and mid-capitalisation companies and debt securities. Investment in debt securities involve credit/counterparty, interest rate, volatility and liquidity, downgrading, sovereign debt, valuation, and credit rating risks as well as risks of investing in convertible bonds.

The Fund’s investment may be concentrated in specific countries or regions (such as emerging markets, Asia) causing the value of the Fund to be more volatile. Investing in emerging markets may involve increased risks, including liquidity, currency risks/ control, political and economic uncertainties, legal and taxation, settlement, custody, and volatility risks. The Fund may also invest in China through equities and debt securities and the value of the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse economic, political, policy, foreign exchange, liquidity, tax, legal or regulatory event affecting China.

RMB classes are subject to RMB currency risks. RMB is currently not freely convertible and conversion of RMB is subject to foreign exchange control policies and restrictions. There is no guarantee that RMB will not be subject to depreciation. Under exceptional circumstances, payment of realisation proceeds and/or dividend payment from underlying investments to the Fund in RMB may be delayed.

The Fund may invest in financial derivative instruments for hedging and non-hedging purposes, which may involve counterparty/credit, liquidity, valuation, volatility and over-the-counter transaction risks. Exposure to financial derivative instruments may lead to a high risk of significant loss by the Fund.
The Fund’s investment in debt instruments with loss-absorption features (“LAP”) are subject to risks of contingent write-down or contingent conversion to ordinary shares upon occurrence of complex and unpredictable trigger events which may result in higher price volatility and total loss of amount invested. LAP may also be exposed to liquidity, valuation and sector concentration risk.

Dividends may be paid out of capital, unrealised capital gains and/or gross income at the discretion of the Manager. Payment of dividends out of gross income while charging some or all fees and expenses out of capital so as to increase the distributable income would effectively represent paying dividends out of capital. Payment of dividends out of capital, unrealized capital gains and/or effectively out of capital amount to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor’s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment and may result in an immediate reduction of the Fund’s net asset value per unit.

Investors may suffer substantial loss of their investments in the Fund.
