Risk Factors:

Investors should not only base on this website alone to make investment decisions. Please read the Sub-Fund’s Explanatory Memorandum and the Product Key Facts Statement for details including the full text of the risk factors stated therein.

1.    Investment risk

The Sub-Fund is an investment fund and not a bank deposit. The Sub-Fund may fall in value due to any of the key risk factors below and therefore investors may suffer losses. There is no guarantee of repayment of capital. 

2.    Risks associated with debt securities

Volatility and liquidity risk - The debt securities in some of the markets in which the Sub-Fund invests may be subject to higher volatility and lower liquidity compared to more developed markets.  The prices of securities traded in such markets may be subject to fluctuations. The bid and offer spreads of the price of such securities may be large and the Sub-Fund may incur significant trading costs. 

Credit / counterparty risk - The Sub-Fund is exposed to the credit/insolvency risk of issuers of the debt securities that the Sub-Fund may invest in.

Interest rate risk - Investment in the Sub-Fund is subject to interest rate risk. Generally the prices of debt securities rise when interest rates fall whilst their prices fall when interest rates rise. 

Credit rating risk - Credit ratings assigned by rating agencies are subject to limitations and do not guarantee the creditworthiness of the debt security and/or issuer at all times.

Valuation risk - Valuation of the Sub-Fund’s investments may involve uncertainties and judgmental determinations and independent pricing information may not at all times be available. If such valuations should prove to be incorrect this may affect the calculation of the net asset value of the Sub-Fund.

Downgrade risk - The credit rating of an issuer or a debt security may subsequently be downgraded due to changes in the financial strength of an issuer. In the event of downgrading in the credit ratings of a debt security or an issuer relating to a debt security the Sub-Fund’s investment value in such security may be adversely affected. The Manager may or may not be able to dispose of the debt securities that are being downgraded.

Sovereign debt risk - Investment in sovereign debt obligations issued or guaranteed by governments may be exposed to political social and economic risks. In adverse situations the sovereign issuers may not be able or willing to repay the principal and/or interest when due or may request the Sub-Fund to participate in restructuring such debts. The Sub-Fund may suffer significant losses when there is a default of sovereign debt issuers.

Credit rating agency risk – The credit appraisal system in the Mainland and the rating methodologies employed in the Mainland may be different from those employed in other markets. Credit ratings given by Mainland rating agencies may therefore not be directly comparable with those given by other international rating agencies.

Risk associated with debt securities rated below investment grade or unrated – The Sub-Fund may invest in debt securities rated below investment grade (as rated by one of the international credit rating agencies or one of the Mainland Chinese credit rating agencies) or unrated. Such securities are generally subject to lower liquidity higher volatility and greater risk of loss of principal and interest than high-rated debt securities.

3.    Concentration risk

The Sub-Fund will invest primarily in bonds denominated in USD. The value of the Sub-Fund may be more volatile than that of a fund having a more diverse portfolio of investments. 

4.    Emerging market risk

The Sub-Fund may invest in emerging markets (which may involve increased risks and special considerations not typically associated with investment in more developed markets such as liquidity risks currency risks/control political and economic uncertainties legal and taxation risks settlement risks custody risk and the likelihood of a high degree of volatility.)

5.    Currency and foreign exchange risk

Certain investments acquired by the Sub-Fund are denominated in currency(ies) (such as HKD) different from the base currency. Also a class of units may be designated in a currency other than the base currency of the Sub-Fund or the currency of its underlying investment. The net asset value of the Sub-Fund may be affected unfavourably by fluctuations in the exchange rates between these currencies and the base currency and by changes in exchange rate control.

RMB is currently not freely convertible and is subject to exchange controls and restrictions which under exceptional circumstances may cause a delay in the payment of redemptions in RMB. Although offshore RMB (CNH) and onshore RMB (CNY) are the same currency they trade at different rates. Any divergence between CNH and CNY may adversely impact investors. 

6.    Hedging risk and risks associated with the use of financial derivative instruments

The Sub-Fund may acquire financial derivatives instruments for hedging and in adverse situations such hedging may become ineffective and the Sub-Fund may suffer significant losses. The price of a derivative instrument can be very volatile which may result in losses in excess of the amount invested in the derivative instruments by the Sub-Fund. A derivative instrument is subject to the risk that the counterparty of the instrument will not fulfil its obligations to the Sub-Fund. In addition the risks associated with derivative instruments include credit risk liquidity risk valuation risk volatility risk and over-the-counter transaction risk. The leverage element/component of derivative instruments can result in a loss significantly greater than the amount invested in the derivative instruments by the Sub-Fund. Exposure to derivative instruments may lead to a high risk of significant loss by the Sub-Fund.

For split credit ratings the lowest rating shall apply. In addition to considering the credit ratings available the Manager also conducts internal assessment of the credit risks of the debt securities on an ongoing basis based on quantitative and qualitative fundamentals including but not limited to the leverage operating margin return on capital interest coverage operating cash flows industry outlook the competitive position and corporate governance etc. of the issuer or guarantor.
