Important information1. The Fund invests primarily in a portfolio of debt securities. 2. The Fund is therefore exposed to emerging markets, investment grade bonds, credit, sovereign, interest rate risks which may affect the price of bonds, concentration,
convertibles, equity, currency, liquidity, derivative and distribution (no assurance on distribution or the frequency of distribution or distribution rate or dividend yield) risks. Pertaining to investments in below investment grade or unrated debt securities, these securities may be subject to higher liquidity risks and credit risks comparing with investment grade bonds, with an increased risk of loss of investment. Investments in asset backed securities and mortgage backed securities may be subject to greater credit, liquidity and interest rate risks compared to other debt securities such as government issued bonds and are often exposed to extension and prepayment risks.
3. The Fund may at its discretion pay dividends out of capital. The Fund may also at its discretion pay dividends out of gross income while charging all or part of the Fund’s fees and expenses to the capital of the Fund, resulting in an increase in distributable amount for the payment of dividends and therefore, effectively paying dividends out of realised, unrealised capital gains or capital. Investors should note that, share classes of the Fund which pay dividends may distribute not only investment income, but also realised and unrealised capital gains or capital. Payment of dividends 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. Any dividend payments, irrespective of whether such payment is made up or effectively made up out of income, realised and unrealised capital gains or capital, may result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share.
4. Investors may be subject to substantial losses.5. Investors should not solely rely on this document to make any investment decision.
