1 Schroder ISF - China Opportunities A Acc 施羅德環球基金系列 - 中國優勢 A 類股份累積單位 As at 截至 30/08/2019 Important Information 重要事項 The fund invests primarily in equity and equity related securities of companies which are headquartered and/or listed in or have a substantial business exposure to China. The fund invests in equity would subject to equity investment risk. The fund invests in the emerging markets and PRC and may be subject to political and economic, legal and regulatory risks, market and settlement risks, execution and counterparty risk, liquidity and volatility, currency and exchange and PRC taxation consideration risks. The fund invests in concentrated region/sector and subjects to higher level of risks than a fund investing in a more diversified portfolio/strategy. The fund may use derivatives to meet its investment objective but does not intend to use derivatives extensively for investment purposes. Derivatives exposure may involve higher counterparty, liquidity and valuation risks. In adverse situations, the fund may suffer significant losses from their derivative usage for hedging. For share classes with a general dividend policy, expenses will be paid out of capital rather than out of gross income. The amount of distributable income therefore increases and the amount so increased may be considered to be dividend paid out of capital. Share classes with a fixed dividend policy may pay out both income and capital in distributions. Where distributions are paid out of capital, this amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of your original investment or capital gains attributable to that and may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value of shares. You should not make any investment decision solely based on this document. Please read the relevant offering document carefully for further fund details including risk factors. 基金主要投資於在中國設立總部和 / 或上市或擁有重大業務的公司股本和股本相關證券 基金投資股票証券涉及股票投資風險 基金投資於新興的市場及中國而須承受政治和經濟 法律及監管風險 市場及結算風險 執行及交易對手方風險 流動性及波動性 貨幣及匯率和中國稅務考慮的風險 基金投資於集中地區 / 行業會承受較投資於採用較多元化的投資組合 / 策略的基金為高的風險 基金可投資於金融衍生工具以達致投資目標, 但無意為投資目的而大量運用金融衍生工具 運用金融衍生工具可涉及較高的對手方 流通性及估值的風險 在不利的情況下, 基金可能會因為使用金融衍生工具作對沖之用而承受重大虧損 一般股息政策的股份類別, 支出將從資本而並非總收入中支付, 可分派收入因此增加, 而增加的部份可被視為從資本中支付的股息 定息政策的股份類別, 其股息可能同時由收入及資本中支付 從資本中支付的派息相當於從閣下原本投資的金額中, 或從該等金額賺取的資本收益中退回或提取部份款項, 可能導致每股資產淨值即時下跌 閣下不應僅倚賴本文件而作出任何投資決定 請詳閱有關銷售文件以得悉基金之詳情包括風險因素 Investment Objective 投資目標 The fund aims to provide capital growth by investing in equity and equity related securities of Chinese companies. 基金旨在通過投資於中國公司的股本和股本相關證券, 以提供資本增值 Cumulative Performance 累積表現 (%) YTD Fund 基金 Index 指數 ~ (%) Fund 基金 3 Mths 1 Yr 3 個月 1 年 年初至今 MSCI China TR Net~ Industry Breakdown 行業資產分佈 (%) Consumer Discretionary 非必需消費品 Communication Services 通訊服務 Financials 金融 Health Care 健康護理 Industrials 工業製造 7.65 Materials 原料 5.41 Energy 能源 5.27 Consumer Staples 基本消費品 4.91 Others 其他 6.40 Liquid Assets 流動資產 1.74 Asset Type 資產分佈 (%) China Stocks 其他中國股票 H H 股 A A 股 Red-Chip 紅籌股 9.89 Hong Kong 香港 9.87 Canada 加拿大 1.71 Others 其他 0.50 Cash & Cash Equivalents 現金及現金等值 Yrs 3 年 Yrs 5 年 Annual Return 基金總回報 (%) Since Launch 自設立日起 Fund 基金 Index~ 指數 Top Holdings 主要投資 (%) Alibaba Group Holding 阿里巴巴集團 9.96 Tencent Holdings 騰訊 8.57 China Mobile 中國移動 4.28 China Construction Bank 中國建設銀行 3.83 PetroChina 中國石油天然氣 2.86 China Pacific Insurance Group 中國太平洋保險 2.72 China Life Insurance 中國人壽保險 2.66 Prada 2.40 iqiyi iqiyi 2.36 Sino Biopharmaceutical 中國生物製藥 2.30 Key Information 基金資料 Unit NAV 單位資產淨值 Hi/Lo (Past 12 mths) 最高 / 最低 ( 過去十二個月 ) Annualised Return (3 yrs) 年度回報率 (3 年 ) Annualised Volatility (3 yrs) 年均相對波幅 (3 年 ) USD ( 美元 ) USD / ( 美元 ) 7.64% 18.40% Beta (3 yrs) 貝他 (3 年 ) 0.88 Sharpe Ratio (3 yrs) 0.32 夏普比率 (3 年 ) Initial Charge up to 首次認購費上限 5.00% Management Fee 管理年費 1.50% p.a.

6 施羅德環球基金系列 - 中國優勢 3. 集中地理地區 基金投資於集中地理地區或會承受較投資於採用較多元化的投資組合 策略的基金為高的風險 基金的價值可能 較容易受影響著相關地理地區的不利經濟 政治 政策 外匯 流動性 稅務 法律或監管事件所影響 4. 投資於中華人民共和國 ( 中國 ) 的風險投資於中國內地證券市場須承受中國市場特有的風險包括內地的政治 社會或經濟政策變動的風險 流動性及波動性風險 貨幣及匯率風險 - 政治 社會或經濟政策變動的風險 - 投資於中國會因內地的政治 社會或經濟政策的任何重大變動而易生波動, 或會對資本增長及基金表現有不利影響 - 法律及監管風險 - 與已發展國家相比, 中國的資本市場及聯合股份制公司的監管及法律架構尚未完善 中國公司須依從中國會計標準及慣例, 而中國會計標準及慣例可能與國際會計標準有顯著的偏差 中國證券市場的結算和清算制度未必經充分的測試, 所以可能會增加錯誤或缺乏效率的風險 中國的證券交易所通常有權暫停或限制任何證券在相關交易所的交易 政府或監管機關實施的政策亦可能影響金融市場 所有此等因素可能對基金有負面的影響 - 流動性及波動性風險 - 與其他市場的選擇相比, 中國 A 股和 B 股市場的流通性低, 這可能導致價格大幅波動 - 貨幣及匯率風險 - 中國政府的貨幣匯兌限制及匯率走勢可能會對有關基金所投資的公司的運作及財政業績有負面影響 - 中國稅務考慮 - 基金投資於中國公司發行的證券須為股息繳付預扣稅, 但現時毋須繳付中國的資本增益稅 中國的稅法 法規和慣例本身並不清晰, 有可能在沒有事先通知的情況下變更, 而且可能具追溯效力 現時基金沒有為中國的資本增益稅作出任何撥備 如合適, 可以為基金的資本增益稅 預扣稅或其他稅項作出撥備 所以, 視乎最終的稅務規則, 該等撥備對投資者而言可能是有利或不利 5. 經互聯互通機制投資相關的風險有關互聯互通機制的規則和規例或會更改, 並可能潛在追溯效力 互聯互通機制受額度限制所限 當通過機制的交易被暫停, 基金經機制投資於中國 A 股或進入中國市場的能力將會受到不利影響 在該情況下, 基金達致其投資目標的能力可受負面影響 6. 與投資於中國市場連接產品相關的風險 基金可利用中國市場連接產品間接地投資於中國 A 股 此做法涉及額外風險, 包括該等工具缺乏第二市場 相關證券缺乏流動性 相關市場關閉時難以出售該等工具 和對手方違約的風險 3

7 施羅德環球基金系列 - 中國優勢 7. 與投資於連接中國的其他基金相關的風險 - 投資於其他基金可能導致相關基金產生額外營運費用和支出 - 基金可投資於透過由合格境外機構投資者 ( QFII ) 或人民幣合格境外機構投資者 ( RQFII ) 持有的額度投資於中國的其他基金 因此, 基金間接承受與 QFII/RQFII 機制相關的風險 該等風險包括 QFII/ RQFII 資格被暫停或取消 相關基金沒有足夠的投資額度, 以及資金匯回和流動性風險 8. 金融衍生工具基金可投資於金融衍生工具以達致特定投資目標 不保證該等金融衍生工具的表現會為該基金帶來正面影響 投資於金融衍生工具或須承受高度的資本虧損風險 涉及金融衍生工具的風險包括信貸風險和對手方風險 流動性風險 估值風險 波動性風險 場外交易市場交易風險, 以及對沖風險 金融衍生工具的槓桿元素 / 成份可導致虧損顯著多於基金投資於金融衍生工具的金額 基金不保證市場能提供理想的對沖工具, 或對沖技術可以達到預期效果 在不利的情況下, 基金使用的對沖工具可能無效, 並可能因而蒙受重大虧損 9. 小型公司風險 相對其他基金, 投資於小型公司的基金價值波動可能較大, 以及可能比投資於大型公司更容易受不利發展所影響 在跌市時, 小型公司的證券會變得流動性較低, 價格可於短期內大幅波動, 且買賣差價大 10. 有關派息的風險 - 就採取一般派息政策的收息股份類別而言, 支出將從資本 ( 非收入 ) 中支付, 可分派收入因此而增加, 而增加的部份可被視為從資本中支付的股息 資本增長將減慢, 在低資本增長時期或會出現資本侵蝕 - 採取固定派息政策的收息股份類別將基於一個固定金額或每股資產淨值的一個固定百分比派息 因此, 派發固定股息之股份類別, 其股息款項可能同時由收入及資本中支付, 或未必將股份類別賺到的大部份投資收入完全派發 - 閣下應注意從資本中支付的派息, 即相當於從閣下原本投資的金額中, 或從該等金額賺取的任何資本收益中退回或提取部份款項, 所以, 該等派息可能導致每股資產淨值即時下跌 11. 貨幣風險資產和股份類別可以美元以外的貨幣為計算單位, 部分或會不能自由兌換 基金可能因持有證券的貨幣 股份類別參考貨幣和美元之間的匯率變動及匯率控制而遭受不利影響, 使基金所有股份類別承受匯率浮動和貨幣風險 對於對沖該等外匯 / 貨幣風險, 基金或會難以或未能作出 4

13 Schroder International Selection Fund China Opportunities Objectives and investment strategy Investment Objective The fund aims to provide capital growth by investing in equity and equity related securities of Chinese companies. Investment Policy The fund invests at least two-thirds of its assets in equity and equity related securities Chinese companies. The fund may invest directly in China B-Shares and China H-Shares and may invest less than 30% of its assets in China A-Shares through Stock Connect (as defined below). The fund is not subject to any limitation on the market capitalisation of the companies that it may invest in. The fund may also invest in money market instruments and hold cash. Under exceptional circumstances (e.g. market crash or major crisis), the fund may be invested temporarily up to 100% of its net asset value in liquid assets such as bank deposits, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and treasury bills for cash flow management. The fund may invest directly in China A-Shares via the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect (collectively Stock Connect ) (as further described in the section headed Stock Connect in the Hong Kong Covering Document). Indirect exposure to China A-Shares may also be sought for the fund through investment in financial instruments such as China market access products and other funds with China access through quota held by Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors or Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors. The fund does not currently intend to invest 30% or more of the net asset value of the fund directly and indirectly in China A-Shares and China B-Shares. Use of financial derivative instruments ( FDI ) The fund may use FDI with the aim of reducing risk or managing the fund more efficiently. FDI can be used for instance to create market exposures through equity, currency, volatility or index related financial derivative instruments and include over-the-counter and/or exchange traded options, futures, contracts for difference, warrants, swaps, forward contracts and/or a combination of the above. However, the fund does not intend to use FDI extensively for investment purposes. What are the key risks? Investment involves risk. Please refer to the offering document for details including the risk factors. 1. Equity investment risk Investment in equity securities is subject to the risk that the market value of the stocks may go down as well as up due to numerous factors such as changes in investment sentiment, political environment, economic environment, issuer-specific factors, regional or global economic instability, currency and interest rate fluctuations. If the market value of the stocks go down the net asset value of the fund may be adversely affected. 2. Emerging and less developed markets The fund may invest in emerging and less developed markets. Investing in emerging and less developed markets is subject to greater risks than investing in securities of developed countries such as ownership and custody risks, political and economic risks, market and settlement risks, liquidity and volatility risk, legal and regulatory risks, execution and counterparty risk, and currency risk, which may adversely affect the net asset value per share of the fund and investors may as a result suffer losses. 2

14 Schroder International Selection Fund China Opportunities 3. Concentrated geographical locations The fund investing in concentrated geographical locations may be subject to a higher level of risks comparing to a fund investing in a more diversified portfolio/strategy. The value of the fund may be more susceptible to adverse economic, political, policy, foreign exchange, liquidity, tax, legal or regulatory event affecting the relevant geographical locations. 4. Risks related to investment in the People s Republic of China (the PRC ) Investing in the securities market in the PRC is subject to the risks specific to the PRC market including change in political, social or economic policy risk, liquidity and volatility risk, currency and exchange risk. Change in political, social or economic policy risk The investment will be sensitive to any significant change in political, social or economic policy in the PRC which may adversely affect the capital growth and thus the fund performance. Legal and regulatory risk The regulatory and legal framework for capital markets and joint stock companies in the PRC may not be as well developed as those of developed countries. PRC companies are required to follow the PRC accounting standards and practice which may deviate significantly from international accounting standards. The settlement and clearing systems of the Chinese securities markets may not be well tested and may be subject to increased risks of error or inefficiency. Securities exchanges in the PRC typically have the right to suspend or limit trading in any security traded on the relevant exchange. The government or the regulators may also implement policies that may affect the financial markets. All these may have a negative impact on the fund. Liquidity and volatility risk Compared with the choice available in other markets, there is a low level of liquidity in the A-Shares and B-Shares of the PRC markets. This could potentially lead to severe price volatility. Currency and exchange risk The PRC government s control of currency conversion and exchange rates may adversely affect the operations and financial results of the companies invested in by the fund. PRC taxation consideration The fund investing in securities issued by companies resident in the PRC are subject to dividend withholding tax but are not currently subject to capital gains tax in the PRC. The tax laws, regulations and practice in the PRC are inherently uncertain and liable to change without prior notice. They may also be changed with retrospective effect. The fund does not currently make any provision for Chinese capital gains tax. If appropriate, a provision may be introduced for the fund to cover capital gains tax, withholding taxes or other taxes. Consequently, investors may be advantaged or disadvantaged depending upon the final rules. 5. Risks related to investments via the Stock Connect The relevant rules and regulations on Stock Connect are subject to change which may have potential retrospective effect. The Stock Connect is subject to quota limitations. Where a suspension in the trading through the programme is effected, the fund s ability to invest in China A-shares or access the PRC market through the programme will be adversely affected. In such event, the fund s ability to achieve its investment objective could be negatively affected. 6. Risks related to investments in China market access products The fund may use China market access products to gain exposure to China A-Shares indirectly. This involves additional risks including lack of a secondary market in such instruments, illiquidity of the underlying securities, difficulty in selling these instruments at times when the underlying markets are closed and counterparty default risk. 3

Risks related to investments in other funds with China access Investing in other funds may result in additional operating fees and expenses from the underlying funds. The fund may invest in other funds with China access through quota held by Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors ( QFII ) or Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors ( RQFII ). Therefore, the fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the QFII/RQFII regime such as suspension or revocation of the QFII/RQFII status, insufficient quota for investment by the underlying funds, as well as, repatriation and liquidity risks. 8. FDI The fund may use FDI to meet its specific investment objective. There is no guarantee that the performance of FDI will result in a positive effect for the fund. FDI exposure may lead to a high risk of significant capital loss. Risks associated with FDI include credit risk and counterparty risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, volatility risk, over-the-counter transaction risks and hedging risk. The leverage element/component of an FDI can result in a loss significantly greater than the amount invested in the FDI by the fund. There is no guarantee that the desired hedging instruments will be available or hedging techniques will achieve their desired result. In adverse situations, the use of hedging instruments may become ineffective in hedging and the fund may suffer significant losses. 9. Smaller companies risk Fund invests in smaller companies may fluctuate in value more than other funds and may be more vulnerable to adverse developments than those in larger companies. During periods where markets are falling, securities of smaller companies may become less liquid and experience short-term price volatility and wide spreads between dealing prices. 10. Risks relating to distributions For distribution share classes with a general dividend policy, expenses will be paid out of capital rather than out of gross income. The amount of distributable income therefore increases and the amount so increased may be considered to be dividend paid out of capital; capital growth will be reduced and in periods of low growth capital erosion may occur. Distribution share classes with a fixed dividend policy will distribute the dividends based on a fixed amount or fixed percentage of the net asset value per share. This may result in share classes with fixed distributions either paying out both income and capital in distribution payments, or not substantially distributing all the investment income which a share class has earned. You should note that in the circumstances where the payment of distributions are paid out of capital, this represents and amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of the amount you originally invested or capital gains attributable to that and may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value of shares. 11. Currency risks Assets and share classes may be denominated in currencies other than USD and some may not be freely convertible. The fund may be adversely affected by changes in foreign exchange rates and exchange rate controls of the currencies in which securities are held, the reference currencies of the share classes and the US Dollar. This exposes all share classes of the fund to exchange rate fluctuations and currency risk. It may not be practicable or possible to hedge against such foreign exchange/currency risk exposure. 4
