01)E Fund Selection Investment Series – E Fund (HK) China Equity Dividend Fund (the “Sub-Fund”) is an investment fund and not a bank deposit. There is no guarantee of the repayment of principal. There is also no guarantee of dividend or distribution payments during the period you hold the units of the Sub-Fund. The instruments invested by the Sub-Fund may fall in value and therefore your investment in the Sub-Fund may suffer losses.
02)Investment in equity securities is subject to market risk. The prices of such securities may also be volatile and a number of factors may affect stock prices, including but not limited to, investment sentiment, political environment, economic environment, regional or global economic instability, currency and interest rate fluctuations. If the market value of equity securities in which the Sub-Fund invests in goes down, its Net Asset Value may be adversely affected, and investors may suffer substantial losses.
03)Distributions of the Sub-Fund may be paid out of the capital of the Sub-Fund. Investors should note that payment of distributions out of capital amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor’s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment and such distributions may result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value of the relevant units.
04) The price at which securities may be purchased or sold by the Sub-Fund and the net asset value of the Sub-Fund may be adversely affected if trading markets for China A-Shares are limited or absent. The China A-Share market may be more volatile and unstable (for example, due to the risk of suspension of a particular stock or government intervention) than those in more developed markets. Market volatility and settlement difficulties in the China A-Share markets may also result in significant fluctuations in the prices of the securities traded on such markets and thereby may affect the value of the Sub-Fund. Trading band limits are imposed by the stock exchanges in China on China A-Shares, where trading in any China A-Share security on the relevant stock exchange may be suspended if the trading price of the security has increased or decreased to the extent beyond the trading band limit. A suspension will render it impossible for the Manager to liquidate positions and can thereby expose the Sub-Fund to significant losses. Further, when the suspension is subsequently lifted, it may not be possible for the Manager to liquidate positions at a favourable price.
05)RMB is currently not freely convertible and is subject to exchange controls and restrictions and investors may be adversely affected by movements of the exchange rates between Renminbi and other currencies. The Sub-Fund’s underlying investments may be denominated in currencies different from the base currency of the Sub-Fund. A decline in the exchange rate of the currency would adversely affect the value of the security and under such circumstances the Sub-Fund’s value may be adversely affected, and investors may suffer a significant loss as a result.
06)China is considered as an emerging market and investing in China may subject the Sub-Fund to higher economic, political, social, legal and regulatory risks than more developed economies or markets. Investments in China may also be less liquid and more volatile. The Sub-Fund invests primarily in securities related to the China market and may be subject to additional concentration risk. The China equity securities market may be subject to higher volatility compared to more developed markets. The prices of securities traded in such market may be subject to fluctuations.
07)You should not invest in the Sub-Fund unless the intermediary who sells it to you has explained to you that the Sub-Fund is suitable for you having regard to your financial situation, investment experience and objectives.
08) Investors should not invest in the Sub-Fund based on this document alone. Before making any investment decision, the investor should read the Sub-Fund’s offering documents carefully including the risk factors.
