| Investment Risk / General Market Risk: The Sub-Fund is an investment fund. There is no guarantee of the repayment of principal. The instruments invested by theSub-Fund may fall in value. The Sub-Fund invests directly or indirectly in securities, and is exposed to various general trends and tendencies in themarkets, especially in the securities markets, which are partially attributable to irrational factors. Such factors could lead tosubstantial and longer-lasting drops in prices affecting the entire market. Securities from top-rated issuers are subject toessentially the same general market risk as other securities and assets. Country and Region Risk: The Sub-Fund’s investments focuses on Asia Pacific, which may reduce risk diversification. Consequently, the Sub-Fund isparticularly dependent on the development of this region, or of companies based and/or operating in this region. Emerging Market Risk: The Sub-Fund invests in emerging markets which involve certain risks and special considerations not typically associated withinvestment in more developed economies or markets, such as greater political, tax, economic, foreign exchange, liquidity andregulatory risks. Specific Risks of Investing in Bond: Risk of Interest Rate Changes: To the extent that this Sub-Fund invests in interest-bearing securities, namely debt securitiesor convertible debt securities, it is exposed to interest rate fluctuations and credit risks, such as risk of default by ordowngrading of issuers. If market interest rates rise, the value of the interest-bearing assets held by the Sub-Fund may declinesubstantially. This applies to an even greater degree if this Sub-Fund also holds interest-bearing securities with a longer timeto maturity and a lower nominal interest rate. Creditworthiness Risk: The creditworthiness (solvency and willingness to pay) of the issuer of an asset in particular of asecurity or money-market instrument directly or indirectly held by a Sub-Fund may subsequently fall. This usually leads to adecrease in the price of the asset greater than that caused by general market fluctuations. Derivatives Risk: The Sub-Fund may invest in derivatives, which may expose the fund to higher counterparty, liquidity and market risks. Given the leverage effect embedded in derivatives, in the worst case scenario, the entire value of your investment in the Sub-Fund may be lost. |
