INVESTMENT INVOLVES RISKS. The value of the Fund can be volatile and investors may not get back the full amount invested. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Robeco High Yield Bonds ("the Fund") invests primarily in bonds, asset-backed securities and similar fixed income securities with a sub-investment grade rating.
The Fund may invest in financial derivative instruments and is subject to high leverage risk and risks of implementing active financial derivative instrument and currency positions not correlated with the underlying assets. The Fund may have a net leveraged exposure of more than 100% of its net asset value. This will further magnify any potential negative impact of any change in the value of the underlying asset on the Fund. Other risks associated with derivatives include substantial counterparty, liquidity and hedging risks, as well as higher volatility or even a total loss of the Fund's assets within a short period of time.
The Fund invests in debt securities and is therefore subject to credit risk, interest rate risk, risk of investment in non-investment grade or unrated securities, valuation risk and risks associated with investments in debt instruments with loss-absorption features (including contingent convertible bonds). The Fund is also subject to currency risk, RMB currency risk, liquidity risk and counterparty risk.
The Fund may engage in securities lending transactions which may involve the risk that the recipient may fail to return the lent securities on the agreed date or furnish the requested additional collateral if required. This could result in losses and negatively impact the Fund’s net asset value.
The Fund may, at its discretion, pay dividends out of capital. Distributions out of capital may result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share of the relevant class. Payment of dividends 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.
Investor should not invest in the Fund solely based on the information provided in this document and should read the offering documents for details (including the risk factors).

Statistics	3 years	5 Years
Tracking error ex-post (%) The ex-post tracking error is defined as the volatility of the fund's achieved excess return over the index return. In fund management, most managers are subject to an ex-ante (pre-determined) tracking error, which defines the extent of the additional risk they may take when aspiring to outperform the fund's benchmark. The ex-post tracking error explains the distribution of past fund performances compared to those of its underlying benchmark. With a higher tracking error, the fund's returns deviate more from its index's returns, hence there is a greater chance that the fund may outperform. The wider the spread of returns relative to the benchmark, the more "actively" a fund has been managed. In contrast, a low tracking error indicates more "passive" management.	0.91	1.14
Information ratio This ratio serves to evaluate the quality of the excess return a fund manager has achieved because it takes the active risk involved into account. The information ratio is defined as the excess return over the benchmark return divided by the fund's tracking error. The higher the information ratio, the better. For example, a fund with a tracking error of 4% and an excess return of 2% over benchmark has an information ratio of 0.5, which is quite good.	-1.00	0.06
Sharpe ratio This ratio measures the risk-adjusted performance and allows the performance quality of different investments to be compared. It is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate from the fund's returns and dividing the result by the fund's standard deviation (risk). So the Sharpe ratio tells us whether a fund's returns are the result of smart investment decisions or stem from taking extra risk. The higher the ratio, the better, meaning that a greater return is achieved per unit of risk. This ratio is named after its inventor, Nobel Laureate, William Sharpe.	1.09	0.23
Alpha (%) Alpha measures the difference between a portfolio's actual return and its expected performance, given the level of risk, compared to the benchmark. A positive alpha figure indicates that the fund has performed better than expected, given the level of risk. Beta is used to calculate the level of risk compared to the benchmark..	-0.34	0.16
Beta Beta is a measure of a portfolio's volatility, or systematic risk, in comparison to the benchmark. A beta of 1 indicates that the portfolio will move with the benchmark. A beta of less than 1 means that the portfolio will be less volatile than the benchmark. A beta of more than 1 indicates that the portfolio will be more volatile than the benchmark. For example, if a portfolio's beta is 1.2 it is theoretically 20% more volatile than the benchmark.	0.90	0.92
Standard deviation Standard deviation is a measure of the dispersion of a set of data from its mean. The more spread out the data is, the higher the deviation. In finance, standard deviation is applied to the annual rate of return of an investment to measure the investment's volatility (risk).	3.90	5.99

You should not invest unless the intermediary who sells you the fund has advised you that it is suitable for you and has explained how it is consistent with your investment objectives. Please refer to the relevant offering documents, including the Prospectus, Hong Kong Offering Document and Key Facts Statement of the fund, for further details including the risk factors.

The investment returns are denominated in stated currency, which may be a foreign currency other than USD and HKD (“other foreign currency”). US/HK dollar-based investors are therefore exposed to fluctuations in the US/HK dollar / other foreign currency exchange rate.

Indices are unmanaged, and one cannot invest directly in an index. They do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges.

Where a reference is made to the frequency of dividend distributions, this frequency is an aim and not a guarantee. Dividend yield is not guaranteed and is not indicative of the return of a fund. Funds may, at their discretion, pay dividends out of capital or capital gains. Distributions out of capital may result in the reduction of an investor’s original capital invested in the relevant fund or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment of the relevant fund. Also, any distributions involving the capital and/or capital gains may result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share of the relevant class. Payment of dividends 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. Please refer to Composition of the dividend payments document for details, including the explanatory notes.

Annualized dividend yield is calculated with the following formula: (Dividend payout per share / Net Asset Value (NAV) per share on the last business day of the previous month the dividend was paid in) x (12 / Number of month(s) since the last dividend payment) x 100%. Positive distribution yield does not imply a positive return. The yield figure is for reference only.

Investors holding accumulation shares of a fund will not receive any distributions. Instead, the income due to them will be automatically reinvested and added to the relevant fund and will thus contribute to a further increase in the value of the total net assets.

Certain funds promote environmental and/or social characteristics within the meaning of Article 8 of the EU Regulation on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial sector. For avoidance of doubt, these funds do not constitute a green/ESG fund pursuant to the Circular to management companies of SFC-authorized unit trusts and mutual funds – ESG funds issued by the SFC on 29 June 2021 (as amended from time to time).
