1) The E Fund (HK) US Treasury 7-10 Year Index Fund (the “Sub-Fund”) is a passively managed index tracking fund. The investment objective of the Sub-Fund is to provide investment results that, before deduction of fees and expenses, closely correspond to the performance of the Bloomberg US Treasury 7-10 Year Index (the “Index”). In order to achieve the investment objective of the Sub-Fund, the Manager will adopt a representative sampling strategy by investing in a representative sample of investment grade USD-denominated, fixed-rate debt securities issued by the Department of the Treasury of the United States (the “US Treasury”) ( “US Treasury Debts”) that collectively reflects the investment characteristics and features a high correlation with the Index.
2) The Fund is subject to a) General Investment risk, b) Currency risk, c) Risks associated with debt securities, d) Concentration risk, e) Passive investment risk, f) Tracking error risk, g) Risks associated with securities financing transactions, h) RMB currency risk, RMB denominated classes risk and hedged RMB denominated classes risk, i) Termination risk, j) Distribution out of/effectively out of capital risk.
3) The Sub-Fund may or may not hold all of the US Treasury Debts that are included in the Index, and may hold US Treasury Debts which are not included in the Index under extreme market conditions, provided that these securities collectively feature a high correlation with the Index. The Sub-Fund may invest at least 70% and up to 100% of its NAV in US Treasury Debts which are included in the Index.
4) The Sub-Fund may also utilise financial derivative instruments (including structured products such as currency futures and forwards, or instruments) for hedging or non-hedging (i.e. investment) purposes to the extent permitted by Chapter 7 of the Code and subject to the net derivative exposure of the Sub-Fund as set out herein.
5) Payments of dividends out of capital and/or effectively 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 such distributions may result in an immediate reduction of the NAV per unit. The distribution amount and the NAV of the hedged unit classes may be adversely affected by the differences in the interest rates of the reference currency of the hedged unit classes and the Sub-Fund’s base currency, resulting in an increase in the amount of distribution that is paid out of capital and hence a greater erosion of capital than other non-hedged unit classes.
