Important Information

The NikkoAM E-Games Active ETF (the "Sub-Fund") is a fund constituted in the form of a unit trust and is a sub-fund of the Nikko AM Hong Kong Exchange Traded Funds Series. The units of the Sub-Fund (the "Units") are listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "SEHK"). These Units are traded on the SEHK like listed stocks.

  1. Investment involves risks. Past performance or any prediction, projection or forecast is not indicative of future performance. The value of units and income from them may fall or rise. Investments in the Sub-fund is subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of principal amount invested. You should read the Prospectus and Key Facts Statement for details including the risk factors and the arrangement in the event that the Sub-fund is delisted. Investors should also note that the Sub-Fund is different from a typical unit trust and units may only be created or redeemed directly by a participating dealer in large creation or redemption units. This document is issued by Nikko Asset Management Hong Kong Limited and has not been reviewed by the Securities and Futures Commission.
  2. The Sub-Fund's investment portfolio may fall in value due to any of the key risk factors below and therefore your investment in the Sub-Fund may suffer losses. There is no guarantee of the repayment of principal.
  3. The Sub-Fund employs an actively managed investment strategy. The Sub-Fund does not seek to track any index or benchmark, and there is no replication or representative sampling conducted by the Manager or the Sub-Manager. It may fail to meet its objective as a result of the Manager or the Sub-Manager's selection of investments, and/or the implementation of processes which may cause the Sub-Fund to underperform as compared to other index tracking funds with a similar objective.
  4. The Sub-Fund may invest in small and mid-capitalisation companies. The stocks of such companies may have lower liquidity and their prices are more volatile to adverse economic developments than those of larger capitalisation companies in general.
  5. The Sub-Fund invests in emerging markets which may involve increased risks and special considerations not typically associated with investment in more developed markets, such as liquidity risk, currency risks/control, political and economic uncertainties, legal and taxation risks, settlement risks, custody risk and the likelihood of a high degree of volatility.
  6. The Sub-Fund's investments are concentrated in the electronic games, mobiles games and electronic sports sectors, which may experience relatively higher volatility in price performance when compared to other economic sectors. The value of the Sub-Fund may be more volatile than that of a fund having a more diverse portfolio of investments and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, political, policy, foreign exchange, liquidity, tax, legal or regulatory event affecting the relevant sectors.
  7. The Sub-Fund may from time to time invest in financial derivative instruments for hedging purposes. Exposure to financial derivative instruments may lead to a high risk of significant loss by the Sub-Fund.
  8. The trading price of the Units on the SEHK is driven by market factors such as the demand and supply of the Units. Therefore, the Units may trade at a substantial premium or discount to the NAV.
  9. Subject to the Manager's discretion, the Manager may pay distributions to unitholders. There is no guarantee to the payment of distributions or frequency of payment. Unitholders will receive distributions in the base currency (USD) only. In the event that a unitholder has no USD account, the unitholder may have to bear the fees and charges associated with the conversion of such distributions, and bear bank or financial institution fees and charges associated with the handling of the distribution payment. Unitholders are advised to check with their brokers regarding arrangements for distributions.
  10. The Manager may at its discretion pay dividends out of capital. Payment of dividends out of capital or effectively 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. Any such distributions may result in an immediate reduction in the NAV per Unit of the Sub-Fund.
