The fund is established in Luxembourg and is subject to the Luxembourg tax laws and regulations. The fund is not liable to pay any corporation, income, dividend or capital gains tax in Luxembourg. The fund is subject to an annual subscription tax ('tax d'abonnement') in Luxembourg, which amounts to 0.01% of the net asset value of the fund.

Fiscal treatment of investor

Investors who are not subject to (exempt from) Dutch corporate-income tax (e.g. pension funds) are not taxed on the achieved result. Investors who are subject to Dutch corporate-income tax can be taxed for the result achieved on their investment in the fund.

Investors should not base their investment decisions solely on the information provided on this website and are advised to seek independent advice (including advice on tax implications) before making any investment decisions. Investors should ensure they fully understand the risks associated with the Sub-fund and should also consider their own investment objectives and risk tolerance level. The investment decision is yours. You should not invest unless the intermediary who sells you the Sub-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 for further details including the risk factors.

No assurance can be given that the investment objective of any investment products will be achieved. No representation or promise as to the performance of any investment products or the return on an investment is made. The value of investments may fluctuate. Past performance, projections, or forecasts included in this website should not be regarded as guarantees or indications of future performance, and no express or implied warranty is provided. The contents of this website are based on sources believed to be reliable, but due to the nature of information delivery technology and the necessity of using multiple data sources, including third party content, their accuracy is not guaranteed. The opinions expressed are as of the date shown above and may change as market conditions evolve, and are subject to change without notice.

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 Sub-fund. Sub-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 Sub-fund or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment of the relevant Sub-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.

Annualized 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 number of distributions per year x 100%. Positive distribution yield does not imply a positive return. The yield figure is for reference only.

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