Eyes on the Future with an Innovative Asset Allocation Strategy

AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC CIRCULATION

Important Information1. The Fund invests primarily (i.e. at least 70% of its total net asset value) in debt and equity securities (directly or indirectly through collective investment schemes)

whose issuers may benefit from, or contribute to, the transition towards the future world. The Fund will have limited Renminbi (RMB) denominated underlying investments.

2. The Fund is therefore exposed to a range of investment related risks which includes risks associated with the Fund’s investment strategy (including risks associated with future transition concept, its sub-themes and changing market trends, risks associated with concentration in a single theme and/or sub-theme and risks associated with the use of big data and artificial intelligence technique), dynamic asset allocation strategy, debt securities (including downgrading risk, below investment grade/ unrated investment risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, valuation risk, volatility and liquidity risk), equity, emerging markets, investing in other collective investment schemes, concentration, currency, derivatives, liquidity, hedging, class currency and currency hedged classes. In addition, RMB hedged classes expose to risks associated with the RMB currency and currency hedged classes risks. RMB is currently not freely convertible and RMB convertibility from o�shore RMB (CNH) to onshore RMB (CNY) is a managed currency process subject to foreign exchange control policies of and restrictions imposed by the Chinese government. There can be no assurance that RMB will not be subject to devaluation at some point. The Manager may, under extreme market conditions when there is not su�cient RMB for currency conversion and with the approval of the Trustee, pay redemption monies and/or distributions in USD.

3. Where the income generated by the Fund is insu�cient to pay a distribution as the Fund declares, the Manager may at its discretion determine such distributions may be paid from capital including realised and unrealised capital gains. Investors should note that the payment of distributions out of capital represents a return or withdrawal of part of the amount they originally invested or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Any payments of distributions by the Fund may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value per unit. Also, a positive distribution yield does not imply a positive return on the total investment. The distribution amount and net asset value per unit of a currency hedged class may be adversely a�ected by di�erences in the interest rates of the reference currency of the relevant currency hedged class and the 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 classes of units.

4. Investors may be subject to substantial losses.5. Investors should not solely rely on this document to make any investment decision.

Five key themes shaping our future�

The future transitionHave you ever wondered that the future can be faster than you think? Advances in technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and the Internet of Things (IoT), are paving the way for transformative changes to every aspect of our lives. Everything around us will become more intelligent, communicative and connected.

At J.P. Morgan Asset Management, the “future transition” concept aims to drive and help the societies transition to a better future, making our world more e�cient, sustainable and inclusive.

Smart city: improving urban life

2.5 billion people

Over the next three decades, the global urban population is expected to see an increase of 2.5 billion people, creating a strain on resources. A potential solution to support the growing number of megacities, “smart city” refers to initiatives that use digital and communication technology-based innovation to (i) improve operational e�ciency; (ii) enhance the quality of government services and citizen welfare; and (iii) promote overall economic growth.

Digital education: personalised and adaptive learning

USD 1.6 billion

Digital education is increasingly becoming intertwined with everyday life, especially when the pandemic has prompted the world to rapidly transition to technology-based learning methods. By providing a truly personalised learning experience tailored to an individual’s educational needs, approach and pace, digital education supports not only the young but all learners, allowing organisations to upskill and reskill employees as businesses evolve.

Social and environmental development: building a sustainable future

J.P. Morgan Asset Management: ESG integration

Social and environmental factors are expected to increasingly a�ect the ability of companies to operate and generate returns today and over the long term. Consequently, our investments also demand a forward-looking approach to capture opportunities arising from the prospect of long-term sustainable financial returns.

Medical technology: improving patient careIn the face of aging population, exponential increase in expenditure and the need for greater e�ciency, the demand for more innovative and cost-e�ective solutions cannot be clearer. The medical technology (MedTech) market provides advanced solutions to enhance the quality of care for patients, as well as the e�ciency and sustainability of healthcare systems, o�ering early-stage investment opportunities.

Autonomous vehicles: enhancing e�ciency and safety

Driverless cars are looking more likely to become a reality. With the rise of autonomous vehicles, it is anticipated that roads will be safer and less congested – thanks to the smart technologies that allow for (i) detection of hazards and therefore reduction in collisions caused by human error; and (ii) communication with each other and local infrastructure to operate more seamlessly.

Fundamentals

Globally diversified to capture growth potential while managing risksCapitalising on the future transition trends, the Fund seeks to provide medium- to long-term capital growth by primarily investing in both debt and equity securities whose issuers may benefit from, or contribute to, the transition towards the future world.

As uncertainties persist, it also remains important to maintain resiliency in a portfolio. The Fund is designed to take a flexible approach in asset allocation – taking advantage of growth potential from equities, while diversifying with fixed income to manage risks.

Innovative approach using proprietary AI technologyTo convert the future transition trends into opportunities, the Fund’s equity selection leverages ThemeBot, our proprietary technology that combines big data research and artificial intelligence, to identify securities with the most relevant exposure to the themes.

Images are for illustrative purposes only.

• Our investment team establishes the starting universe and themes

• ThemeBot identifies opportunities relevant to the theme with natural language processing, and ranks companies according to textual relevance and revenue attribution

• Our fundamental active research analysts regularly validate and refine ThemeBot’s output

The ability of ThemeBot to analyse hundreds of millions of data sources in a short period of time allows our portfolio managers to make informed decisions more e�ciently.

The manager seeks to integrate environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors in the investment process. ESG integration is the systematic integration of material ESG factors in company/issuer selection through research and risk management. It involves proprietary research on financial materiality of the ESG factors in relation to the relevant company/issuer and discretion to invest regardless of whether the company/issuer may be positively or negatively impacted by the ESG factors. Integration of ESG factors in the Fund’s investment process does not imply the Fund incorporates ESG factors as its key investment focus.
