This may include Investment Grade bonds, high yield bonds and Asian and Emerging Markets debt instruments.

Suitable investorsThe Fund is suitable for investors:

have positive views towards high income bond market

understand and are willing to accept the risks associated with bond investment

Potential risks Investment risk: there is no guarantee of the repayment of

Emerging market risk: emerging markets involves a higher risk including political, tax, economic, foreign exchange, liquidity, market volatility (such as interest rate and price volatility) and regulatory risks.

Interest rate risk: bonds are more susceptible to fluctuation in interest rates movement

Credit risk: when the issuer of a bond defaults, the Fund may suffer a loss amounting to the value of such investment. Investment grade bonds may be subject to the risk of being downgraded to non-investment grade bonds. Non-investment grade bonds are subject to higher credit risk and counterparty risk.

Liquidity risk: the market for non-investment grade and unrated securities may be less active. A lowering of the credit rating of a security or its issuer may affect the security’s liquidity, making it more difficult for the Fund to sell such security

If the issuers of the derivative instruments default, or such securities or their underlying assets cannot be realized, or perform badly, investors may suffer substantial or, in certain cases, total loss of their investments
