Fund specific risks
- Currency Hedging Risk: Hedging currency risks may protect investors against a decrease in the value of the Reference Currency relative to the Hedged Share Class, but it may also preclude investors from benefiting from an increase in the value of such currencies. All costs and gains/losses of hedging transactions are borne by the relevant Hedged Share Classes
- Currency Risk: Sub-Funds are invested in securities denominated in different currencies other than the Reference Currency. As a result, changes in the value of the Reference Currency compared to other currencies will affect the value in the Reference Currency of any securities denominated in another currency
- Derivative Risk: Derivative instruments are highly sensitive to changes in the value of the underlying asset that they are based on. Certain derivatives may result in losses greater than the amount originally invested
- Emerging Markets Risk: The price of emerging market securities is subject to higher risk of price fluctuation due to possible lack of adequate political, economic, legal, trading liquidity structures and relatively lower liquidity
- International Investment Risk: Investments on an international basis are subject to uncertainties, including; changes in government policies, taxation, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, accounting and financial reporting standards, and fluctuations in value due to discrepancy of currency
- Large Shareholder Risk: Investors holding a large portion of issued and outstanding shares of a Sub-Fund are likely to incur transaction costs in case of redemptions
- Liquidity Risk: Under highly volatile markets, securities may not be sold as quickly or easily, which could have an influence on meeting redemption requests on demand
- Market Risk: The market value of a Sub-Fund’s investments will fluctuate based on specific company developments, broader equity or fixed-income market conditions, economic and financial conditions
- Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect Risk: Investments made through Stock Connect may be subject to greater risk factors to comply with Stock Connect rules and counterparty risks with respect to ChinaClear
- Small Cap Risk: Securities of small cap companies are typically traded less frequently and in smaller volumes relative to large cap companies, leading to less stable prices and difficulty to trade
