BOCI-Prudential - Fund
KEY FEATURES AND RISKS

  • Each Sub-Fund currently launched under the umbrella fund, World Index Shares ETFs (the “Sub-Fund”) seeks to track the performance of its underlying index.
  • The Sub-Funds are different from typical retail investment funds offered to the public in Hong Kong, in particular:
    a. Units may only be created and redeemed in Application Unit size ^ (as defined in the relevant Prospectus) directly by Participating Dealer(s) or Eligible Investor(s) (if applicable); and
    b. There is risk related to divergence between the market price of the Units and the Net Asset Value of the relevant Sub-Fund. The market price of the Units traded on the SEHK is determined not only by the Net Asset Value of the relevant Sub-Fund but also by other factors such as the supply of and demand for the Units in the SEHK. The Units in the Sub-Funds may trade at discount or premium to the Net Asset Value of the Units.
  • In relation to W.I.S.E. – CSI 300 China Tracker®,
    (i) the Manager intends to achieve the investment objective of the Sub-Fund by investing primarily in certain eligible A Shares via Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and/or Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect (as the case may be). (Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect are collectively referred to as "Shanghai and Shenzhen Connect" hereinafter below. Each of Shanghai and Shenzhen Connect is a securities trading and clearing linked programme with an aim to achieve mutual stock market access between mainland China and Hong Kong.)
    (ii) investors should note that the Sub-Fund is subject to the risks associated with Shanghai and Shenzhen Connect (please refer to the Prospectus for details of the associated risks); and
    (iii) investors should also note other risk factors such as foreign exchange and RMB currency and conversion risks and PRC tax risk. Please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of the Prospectus for further details.
  • In relation to W.I.S.E. – SSE 50 China Tracker®,
    (i) the Sub-Fund, at present, invests directly in A Shares via the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect;
    (ii) the Sub-Fund is subject to the risks associated with Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect. Please refer to the Prospectus for details of the associated risks; and
    (iii) investors should also note other risk factors such as foreign exchange and RMB currency and conversion risks and PRC tax risk. Please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of the Prospectus for further details.
  • Investment in emerging markets / the PRC market, may involve special risks and considerations, such as, political, tax, economic, foreign exchange, liquidity and regulatory risks. These factors may have an adverse impact on the performances of the Sub-Funds.
  • The Manager will normally make distributions out of net income received or receivable by the Sub-Funds. However, in the event that the net income is insufficient to pay the distributions that it declares, the Manager may also, in its absolute discretion, determine that distributions be paid out of the capital of the Sub-Funds, or the Manager may, in its discretion, pay distributions out of its gross income while charging / paying all or part of its fees and expenses to / out of the capital of the Sub-Funds, resulting in an increase in distributable income for the payment of distributions by the Sub-Funds and therefore, the Sub-Funds may effectively pay distributions out of capital. This may reduce the capital that the Sub-Funds has available for investment in future and may constrain capital growth.
  • Investors should be aware that in circumstances where distributions are paid out of capital or effectively out of capital, this amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of the amount investors originally invested or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Any distributions involving payment of distributions out of capital or payment of distributions effectively out of capital (as the case may be) may result in an immediate decrease in the Net Asset Value per Unit.
  • Investment involves risks and the Sub-Funds may not be suitable for everyone. Investors should carefully read the relevant Prospectus of the Sub-Funds for further details including product features and risk factors, and should consider their own investment objectives and other circumstances before investing in the Sub-Funds.
