Strategy
The Sub-Fund is a feeder fund which, in seeking to achieve its investment objective, will invest at least 90% of its NAV in the E Fund (HK) HKEX Tech 100 Index ETF (the “Master ETF”). Investment in units in the Master ETF by the Sub-Fund will be made via the secondary market (i.e. through the SEHK on which the Master ETF is listed). During extreme market circumstances where there is insufficient liquidity on the secondary market, the Manager may subscribe and redeem units of the Master ETF on the primary market.
The Master ETF is managed by the Manager and is authorised by the SFC. SFC authorisation is not a recommendation or endorsement of the Master ETF nor does it guarantee the commercial merits of the Master ETF or its performance. It does not mean the Master ETF is suitable for all investors nor is it an endorsement of its suitability for any particular investor or class of investors.

Other Investments
No more than 10% of the NAV of the Sub-Fund may be invested in collective investment scheme(s) other than the Master ETF which may be eligible schemes (as defined by the SFC) or authorised by the SFC. Any investments in the exchange traded funds will be considered and treated as collective investment schemes for the purposes of and subject to the requirements in 7.11, 7.11A and 7.11B of the Code.
The Sub-Fund may also invest up to 10% of its NAV on an ancillary basis in money market instruments, unlisted and listed money market funds and/or cash and cash equivalents for cash management purposes.
The Manager may borrow up to 10% of the Sub-Fund’s NAV to acquire investments, to redeem Shares or to pay expenses relating to the Sub-Fund.
The Sub-Fund may enter into financial derivative instruments for investment or hedging purposes to the extent permitted by the investment restrictions in Chapter 7 of the Code and the Explanatory Memorandum of the Company and the Sub-Fund.
The Manager will not enter into any securities lending, sale and repurchase or reverse-repurchase transactions or other similar over-the-counter transactions in respect of the Sub-Fund. The Manager will seek prior approval of the SFC (to the extent required under applicable regulatory requirements) and provide at least one month’s prior notice to Shareholders before the Manager engages in any such transactions.
Master ETF
The Master ETF is a sub-fund of E Fund ETFs Trust II, an umbrella unit trust established under Hong Kong law. The Sub-Fund is a passively-managed ETF falling within Chapter 8.6 of the Code. Units of the Sub-Fund are traded on SEHK like stocks.
Investment objective and Strategy of the Master ETF
The investment objective of the Master ETF is to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, closely correspond to the performance of the Index.
In seeking to achieve the Master ETF’s investment objective, the Manager will either use a full replication strategy or a representative sampling strategy as the Manager believes to be appropriate in order to achieve the investment objective of the Master ETF by tracking the Index as closely as possible to the benefit of the investors. The Master ETF may switch between the full replication strategy and the representative sampling strategy in its absolute discretion without prior notice to investors.
In pursuing the full replication strategy, the Manager will invest in substantially all securities constituting the Index (the “Index Securities”) in substantially the same weightings (i.e. proportions) as these Index Securities have in the Index.
In pursuing the representative sampling strategy, the Manager may:
- invest in a representative sample whose performance is closely correlated with the Index, but whose constituents may or may not themselves be constituents of the Index;
- invest less than 30% of the Master ETF’s net asset value in collective investment schemes (“CIS”), each being either an exchange traded fund or an unlisted index tracking fund which tracks an index that has a high correlation with the Index. Such CIS may be authorised by the SFC, eligible schemes under Chapter 7.11A of the Code, or non-eligible schemes. For the avoidance of doubt, the Master ETF’s aggregate investment in non-eligible schemes and not authorised by the SFC may not exceed 10% of the NAV of the Master ETF; and/or
- invest in financial derivative instruments including futures, swaps, participatory notes and structured notes with less than 30% of the Master ETF’s NAV for investment and hedging purposes, where the Manager believes such investments will help the Master ETF achieve its investment objective and are beneficial to the Master ETF. For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate investments in participatory notes and structured notes will not exceed 10% of the Master ETF’s net asset value.
In pursuing a representative sampling strategy, the Manager may cause the Master ETF to deviate from the Index weighting on condition that the maximum deviation from the Index weighting of any constituent will not exceed 3% or such other percentage as determined by the Manager after consultation with the SFC.
The Master ETF may invest in money market funds (subject to the investment restrictions as set out in Chapter 7 of the Code), and in cash deposits and cash equivalents for cash management purposes, up to 30% of the Master ETF’s net asset value.
The Manager may, on behalf of the Master ETF, enter into securities lending transactions, with the maximum level for up to 50% and expected level for approximately 20% of the Master ETF’s net asset value, and is able to recall the securities lent out at any time. As part of the securities lending transactions, the Master ETF must receive cash and/or non-cash collateral of at least 100% of the value of the securities lent (interests, dividends and other eventual rights included). The collateral will be marked-to-market on a daily basis and be safekept by the Custodian.
The Manager does not currently intend to enter into sale and repurchase transactions, reverse repurchase transactions and other similar over-the-counter transactions on behalf of the Master ETF. The Manager will seek prior approval of the SFC (to the extent required under applicable regulatory requirements) and provide at least one month’s prior notice to unitholders of the Master ETF before the Manager engages in any such transactions.
