Other Important Risk Warnings:

Funds investing in emerging markets involve special considerations and higher risks. Not all emerging markets are regulated, the regulatory and legal framework may be less developed and there may be economic, social and political instability, etc. Such markets may be more volatile than the developed markets. Compared with other types of funds, the investment of emerging market funds is less diversified and thus such type of fund may be more volatile. Currency fluctuation may also adversely affect the value of the fund’s investment. Investors should also note the risks of concentration of investment in a single country/market.
Investors should note the risks for funds which are index funds, including but not limited to tracking error risk, concentration risk and risks associated with passive investments, etc. There can be no assurance that the performance of an index fund will be identical to the performance of the relevant index.
Investors should note the risks for funds which are bond funds, including but not limited to the credit/default risks of the issuers of the bonds in which the bond funds invest, interest rate risk and liquidity risk, etc.
Investors should avoid excessive investment (in terms of its proportion in the overall investment portfolio) in any single type of investment, including any proposed investment in the relevant fund, so as to avoid the investment portfolio being over-exposed to any particular investment risk.
