1) E Fund (HK) Asia Semiconductor Index Fund (the “Sub-Fund”) is a sub-fund of the E Fund Investment Fund Series OFC, which is a public umbrella open-ended fund company established under Hong Kong law. The Sub-Fund is a feeder fund and a passively managed index tracking fund, investing at least 90% of its Net Asset Value (“NAV”) in E Fund (HK) Solactive Asia Semiconductor Select Index ETF (the “ETF Master”), which is listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “SEHK”) and tracking the Solactive Asia Semiconductor Select Index (the “Index”).
2) Investment involves risks. The Sub-Fund is subject to a) Investment risk, b) Risks of investing in the Master ETF, c) Currency risks, d) RMB currency risk and RMB denominated classes risk, e) Termination risk. Given the Sub-Fund invests substantially in the Master ETF as a feeder fund, it may also be subject to the risks associated with the Master ETF’s investments, including i) Equity market risk, ii) New index risk, iii) Geographical concentration risk, iv) Political, economic and social risks in mainland China, v) Semiconductor sector concentration risk, vi) Risk associated with small-capitalisation / mid-capitalisation companies, vii) Securities lending transactions risk, viii) Trading differences risk, ix) Trading risk, x) Tracking error risk. The value of the Sub-Fund can be volatile and may go down substantially. Investors may suffer losses.
3) The Sub-Fund may invest in derivatives for hedging or investment purposes and in adverse situations its use of financial derivative instruments may become ineffective and/or cause the Sub-Fund to suffer significant loss.
4) The Index is a new index. The Index has minimal operating history by which investors can evaluate its previous performance. There can be no assurance as to the performance of the Index. The Sub-Fund may be riskier than other exchange traded funds tracking more established indices with longer operating history.
5) The Sub-Fund is subject to semiconductor sector and geographical concentration risks and its Net Asset Value is therefore likely to be more volatile than a broad-based fund.
6) You should not invest in the Sub-Fund unless the intermediary who sells it to you has explained to you that the Sub-Fund is suitable for you having regard to your financial situation, investment experience and objectives.
7) Investors should not invest in the Sub-Fund based on this document alone. Before making any investment decision, the investor should read the Sub-Fund’s offering documents carefully including the risk factors.
