Global Equity Megatrends

Important Notes

• The Fund invests primarily in equity securities that are (1) listed or traded principally on recognized markets globally (which may include emerging market countries) and (2) issued by companies across all market capitalizations and industrial sectors.
• The Fund is subject to concentration risk as the fund’s investment are concentrated in companies that offer exposure to the secular themes identified by the Sub-Investment Managers.
• Investments in small-capitalisation / mid-capitalisation companies are subject to higher liquidity and price volatility risks. The securities of small or medium-sized companies are often traded over-the-counter, and may not be traded in volumes typical of securities traded on a national securities exchange. Consequently, the securities of smaller companies may have lower liquidity, higher price volatility and limited market stability and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements due to adverse economic developments than securities of larger, more established companies or the market averages in general.
• The Fund is subject to currency risk as the underlying investments of the Fund may be denominated in currencies other than the base currency of the Fund. Also, a class of shares may be designated in a currency other than the base currency of the Fund. Adverse movements in the exchange rates between these currencies and the base currency and any changes in exchange rate controls can result in a decrease in return and a loss of capital.
• In respect of the distributing shares, the distribution rate is not guaranteed. The Fund may at its discretion pay dividends out of the capital of the Fund. Dividends paid 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. Such dividends may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value of the relevant shares.
• The Fund may use financial derivative instruments (“FDIs”) for hedging, efficient portfolio management and/or investment purposes, and therefore may be subject to higher counterparty/credit, liquidity, valuation, volatility and over-the-counter transaction risks. The Fund’s net derivative exposure may be up to 50% of the Fund’s NAV and may result in a significant loss of the Fund.
