Key Risks

Potential Investors should consider the following key risks before investing in the Sub-Fund:

Fixed Income Default Risk: The failure of an issuer or a counterparty to meet its payment obligations of a financial asset in the Sub-Fund will have a negative impact on the Sub-Fund.

Interest Rate Risk: Fixed income securities are typically interest rate sensitive, therefore changes in interest rates can result in positive or negative fluctuations in the value of the assets held by the Sub-Fund.

Equity Investing Risk: The value of shares and securities related to shares may fall due to issuer related issues, financial market dynamics and world events including economic and political changes.

Derivative Risk: A Sub-Fund may use derivative instruments for both efficient portfolio management and for investment purposes. Derivative transactions may be subject to significant volatility which may result in a loss greater than the principal amount invested.

Counterparty Risk: A Sub-Fund may have credit exposure (by virtue of position in swaps, repurchase agreements, FDI etc.) to its trading parties and may bear the risk of default of the counterparties.

Operational Risk: A Sub-Fund may risk loss resulting from process failures, inadequate procedures or controls.

Currency Risk - Base Currency: Securities may be denominated in currencies different from the Sub-fund's Base Currency and there is a risk that changes in exchange rates and exchange control regulations may cause the value of the assets expressed in the Base Currency to rise or fall.

Emerging Markets Risk: Emerging markets are typically smaller, less transparent, and subject to evolving, less stable political and regulatory regimes and securities from these markets may be more expensive to transact in, bear higher risk or have lower liquidity.

Risks Relating to China: Risks of investing in China arise from an uncertain taxation and political regime, restrictions on inward investment, dealing in closed currency and custody arrangements which are not to the same standard as those in developed markets and where the Sub-Fund invests in eligible China A-Shares via the Stock Connect, such investments are subject to risks including market, suspension and operational risks.

Liquidity Risk: The risk that the Sub-Fund may invest some of their assets in illiquid securities and other illiquid financial instruments, in respect of which they may not always be possible to execute a buy or sell order at the desired price or to liquidate the open position.

Below Investment Grade Debt Securities Risk: Where Sub-Funds invest in securities rated below investment grade, also known as high yield securities, they may be subject to a greater credit, liquidity and market risk than investment grade debt securities.

Commodity Risk: The Sub-Fund may invest in commodities by synthetically replicating the performance of a commodities index. The underlying index may concentrate investment on selected commodity futures of multinational markets. Prices of commodities are influenced by, among other things, macro-economic factors such as changing supply and demand relationships, weather conditions and other natural phenomena, agricultural, trade, fiscal, monetary, and exchange control programmes and policies of governments (including government intervention in certain markets) and other unforeseeable events.

ESG Risks: Risks associated with the environmental, social and governance variables, which could potentially affect the financial situation or operating performance of the Fund. These include sustainability risk, ESG Categorisation Risk and ESG Data Risk.

Asset Allocation Risk: The performance of the Sub-Fund is partially dependent on the success of the asset allocation strategy employed by the Sub-Fund. There is no assurance that the strategy employed by the Sub-Fund will be successful and therefore the investment objective of the Sub-Fund may not be achieved. In addition, an asset allocation strategy may be periodically rebalanced and therefore incur greater transaction costs than a Sub-Fund with static allocations.

ETF and CIS Investment Risk: ETF and CIS investments can have added tracking error risk and concentration risk as securities can be held in proportions that differ slightly or materially from the proportions of the benchmark index. Some ETFs may also make use of financial derivative instruments to track the performance of certain securities that make up the benchmark index and are therefore subject to derivative risks. There are also data risks and potential higher costs associated with these types of investment.

Risks associated with QFI scheme: The Sub-Fund may suffer substantial losses if the approval of the QFI status is being revoked/terminated or otherwise invalidated as the Sub-Fund may be prohibited from trading of relevant securities and repatriation of the fund's monies.

The risk factors described above should not be considered an exhaustive list of risks, which potential investors should consider before investing in the Sub-Fund. For more details on the fund's potential risks please read the Prospectus and Key Investor Information Document at pinebridge.com/funds
