Important information: • The Asia Focused Conservative Fund and Asia Focused Growth Fund invest mainly in Asian (including Asia Pacific and excluding Japan) based assets

in both equity and fixed income markets. The Asia Focused Income Fund invests mainly in Asian (ex-Japan) based income oriented assets in both fixed income and equity markets.

• The Asia Focused Growth Fund and Asia Focused Income Fund may also invest in other non-Asian based investments such as global bonds and REITs. The Asia Focused Conservative Fund may also invest in other non-Asian based investments such as global bonds. The Funds may get the exposure through direct investments and/or collective investment schemes.

• The Funds are subject to the risk of investing in emerging markets. Non-investment grade and unrated fixed income securities are subject to higher credit risk, liquidity risk and counterparty risk than investment grade fixed income securities.

• The Funds’ investments may involve substantial credit/counterparty, downgrading, market, currency, volatility, liquidity, regulatory and political risks. Investors may suffer substantial loss of their investments in the Funds.

• For certain classes of the Asia Focused Income Fund, the Fund may pay dividends out of capital or pay dividends gross of expenses. Investors should note that the payment of dividends out of capital or effectively out of capital represents a return or withdrawal of part of the amount they originally invested or from any capital gains attributable to the original investment. Such distributions may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value of the Fund.
