Risk factors of the Fund and Guidelines of Management for Risk Decrease

The Fund has policy to focus on investment in the investment units of only foreign mutual fund (Feeder Fund) i.e. BGF Asian Growth Leaders Fund share class D2 USD of which has an average net exposure in investment units of the foreign mutual fund of the accounting year at or more than 80 % of the Fund’s NAV. Also, the Fund’s investment results in having an average net exposure relates to foreign risks for the accounting year at or more than 80% of the Fund’s NAV.

1. Country and political risk The risks in terms of stability and the change of politics, economy, society, market condition, liquidity. Financial measures amidst unusual circumstance including restrictions in the country where the investment is made.

2. Exchange rate risk

The risk is from the fluctuation of foreign exchange rate because the investment in foreign securities whose its currency is different from that of the currency mobilized from the Unit holder, the ratio of the yield of investment will defend upon the exchange rate at that period of time, that is, the exchange rate may increase or decrease when compared with the exchange rate during the time of initial investment. Accordingly, the number of report, value of investment units may fluctuate and there may be the profit and loss from the investment.

3. Market Risk

Market risk is a risk caused by pricing volatility of financial instruments due to economic, social, and political situations of the country which the company issuing the financial instruments cannot control this type of risk

The Asset Management Company would analyze factors and follow up change in situations which may affect the price so as to reduce the impacts on the Fund’s NAV.

The Fund focuses on the investment in investment units of foreign fund which may be in different currency and the Fund has not invested in the Derivatives for hedging the risk from exchange rate in securities or property in foreign currency held by the Fund compared with the THB currency in the whole amount, as a result, the Unit holders may suffer loss or may have profit from the exchange rate only for the securities or properties in foreign currency which have no hedging. Moreover, hedging transaction may incur expense, consequently, the yield of Fund may decrease from such cost increase

The Fund has the policy to focus in the investment in the investment units of only fund (Feeder Fund) which has an average net exposure in investment units of the foreign mutual fund of the accounting year at or more than 80 % of the Fund’s NAV. The Fund, therefore, may be affected if there is change of politics, terms, rules or policies of the government in country administration, for instance, the policy of finance regarding the restriction of free money inflow-outflow, regulation and relevant laws in establishing the fund which may be different from the rules and relevant law in establishing the fund of Thailand, etc. In considering on investment, the Asset Management Company will closely follow up the situation of change of politics, economy, financial market, capital market including various basic factors of the country in which the Fund has invested in order to assess the risk from investment in such country and to take an appropriate action in order to decrease the Country Risk.

27 SCB Asian Emerging Markets THB Hedge (SCBAEMH)

4. Business Risk: Business risk is the risk incurred from operating result of the instrument issuers, in which the Fund has invested, caused by change in the profitability of companies. The main factors of this are severe competition and management error etc, probably leading to loss of investment money.

5. Credit risk / Default risk

This risk is from the default of payment of principal and interest of the issuer of instrument and/or the acceptor, aval giver, guarantor or the counter party because the issuer of instrument and/or the acceptor, aval giver, guarantor or the counter party has worse operating result and financial status, accordingly, it results in lack of liquidity to pay money according to the obligation when due. As a consequence, the investor may not receive the payment of interest and principal according to the due period of time.

6. Counter Party Risk The risk is from the case where the contractual parties of transaction are unable to pay money according to the contractual obligation (Counter Party Risk) because the performance and financial status decreases, accordingly, they lack the liquidity to make payment according to the obligation.

7. Leverage Risk

The fund may enter into derivative transactions whose notional exceed the fund’s net asset value and may experience larger losses than the underlying as a result

The Fund has the policy to focus in the investment in the investment units of only fund (Feeder Fund) having an average net exposure relates to foreign risks for the accounting year at or more than 80% of the Fund’s NAV. For the remaining portion, the Asset Management Company considers to invest in or acquire the equity, debt instrument, convertible bond, deposit both in country and/or in foreign country and debt instrument with the investment grade rated by the credit rating institute accepted by the Office of SEC which will help decrease the risk.

The Asset Management Company has rules in selecting its partner for securities trading. The Fund will trade its securities with the company with investment grade rated by the credit rating institute accepted by the Office of SEC in order to decrease the risk in case where the counter party is unable to perform the contractual provision as agreed.

The Asset Management Company shall analyze factors affecting price and selection of quality instruments by basically focusing on the investor’s benefits.

The fund will conduct careful analysis before making the investment and continue to constantly monitor the portfolio as to minimize the probability of such event happening.

28 SCB Asian Emerging Markets THB Hedge (SCBAEMH)

8. Liquidity risk This risk is from the fact that the Fund is unable to trade the securities or instrument held by the Fund in the appropriate price and within the reasonable period of time because the opportunity to trade such securities or instrument is limited.

9. Risk from the Late Payment in case of Redemption of Foreign Fund Investment Units

The risk is from the fact that the holidays of the country where the investment is made or the country relating to the investment may be different from the holidays in Thailand, accordingly, the Fund may receive the late payment of amount from the redemption of foreign fund’s investment. Such circumstance may affect the payment of redemption of investment units to the Unit holders in Thailand.

10. Repatriation Risk Repatriation risk is caused by domestic changes in the countries where the Fund invests in, such as issuing emergency measures which prevent the Fund from bringing investment money and its return back to the country entirely as being forecasted. The risk affects the investment return prediction of Fund.

The Asset Management Company would analyze factors which may affect the repatriation of investment money belonging to foreign investors in the countries the Fund invests in carefully.

The Fund shall primarily make an investment in the foreign mutual fund. For the remaining portion, it shall be placed in or hold equity, debt instruments, hybrid securities, and/or deposits, and/or certificates of deposits both in domestic and/or foreign countries. The management company shall take the investment in good-quality instruments, the flexibility of trading, and the Fund’s risk management into account before making an investment decision. With regards to the redemption of investment units, the management company has imposed that every trading day so the liquidity risk is low.

The Fund invests in the investment units of only fund (Feeder Fund) which has an average net exposure in investment units of the foreign mutual fund of the accounting year at or more than 80 % of the Fund’s NAV , as a result, there may be problem due to the fact that the holiday of the country where the Fund invested or the country relating to the investment (if any) different from the holidays of Thailand. The Fund may face the problem of late payment of the redemption of investment units to the Unit holders. The Asset Management Company will pay the money for redemption of investment units to the Unit holders within 5 business days as from the date of calculation of value of properties, value of investment units, selling price and redemption price of the business day on which the investment units are redeemed (T+5).

Market Outlook Asian economy continues to improve which results in increasing demand for goods and services. This is being driven by a combination of stabilization in commodity price, global and regional cyclical upturn and necessary cuts to corporate capital expenditure, which are helping margins. The continuing recovery of nominal gross domestic product (GDP) growth and structural reforms in China should not be underestimated for its impact on lifting the whole region. Asia is in a much more attractive position than it has been for some time. Moreover, valuations in the Asian markets remain below long-term historical averages and already largely reflect negative sentiment and positioning.
