# The ETF is an eligible collective investment scheme for the New Capital Investment Entrant Scheme (New CIES) in Hong Kong. Details can be found in the official website by the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC).

Important Notice

The ETF tracks the performance of its underlying index which does not incorporate Environment, Social and Governance factors in its key investment focus. The current disclosures are made in accordance with SFC guidelines following the Manager’s climate-related risk assessments. Applicability and extent of disclosures shall be assessed on periodical basis.

IMPORTANT: Investment involves risk, including the loss of principal. Investors should refer to the Prospectus and Key Facts Statement of Premia China Treasury and Policy Bank Bond Long Duration ETF (the "ETF") for details, including the risk factors. Investors should not base investment decisions on this marketing material alone. Investors should note:

The ETF aims to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, closely correspond to the performance of ICE 10+ Year China Government & Policy Bank Index (“Index”).

Currency exchange risk
A class of units may be designated in a currency other than the base currency of the ETF. The net asset value of the ETF may be affected unfavorably by fluctuations in the exchange rates between these currencies and the base currency and by changes in exchange rate controls.

Risks relating to currency hedging and the USD Hedged Unit Class
The Manager may (but is not obliged to) enter into certain currency related transactions in order to hedge the currency exposure of the assets of the ETF attributable to the USD Hedged Unit Class into the currency being hedged in that relevant class. Investors in the USD Hedged Unit Class may have exposure to currencies other than the currency of the USD Hedged Unit Class. In comparison to the Unhedged Unit Class (USD counter), investors should also be aware that the hedging strategy may substantially limit the benefits of any potential increase in value of the USD Hedged Unit Class expressed in the class currency, if the USD Hedged Unit Class’ denominating currency falls against the base currency of the ETF. Such differences compared to the unhedged unit class will lead to differences in Net Asset Value between the unit classes.

Concentration / PRC market risks
The ETF’s investments are concentrated in the PRC with a focus on Treasury and Policy Bank Bonds. The value of the ETF may be more volatile than that of a fund having a more diverse portfolio of investments. The value of the ETF may be more susceptible to adverse economic, political, policy, foreign exchange, liquidity, tax, legal or regulatory event affecting the PRC market.

China related risks
PRC Sovereign Debt risks - The ETF’s investment in securities issued or guaranteed by governments may be exposed to political, social and economic risks. In adverse situations, the sovereign issuers may not be able or willing to repay the principal and/or interest when due or may request the ETF to participate in restructuring such debts.
PRC inter-bank bond market and Bond Connect risks – Investing in the PRC Inter-bank bond market via Bond Connect is subject to regulatory risks and various risks such as volatility risk, liquidity risk, settlement and counterparty risk as well as other risk factors typically applicable to debt securities. The relevant rules and regulations on investment in the PRC inter-bank bond market via Bond Connect are subject to change which may have potential retrospective effect.
Operational and settlement risk – To the extent that the ETF transacts in the inter-bank bond market in the PRC, the ETF may also be exposed to risks associated with settlement procedures and default of counterparties.
Volatility and liquidity risk - The debt securities in the PRC market may be subject to higher volatility and lower liquidity compared to more developed markets. The prices of securities traded in such markets may be subject to fluctuations.
RMB currency and conversion risks - RMB is currently not freely convertible and is subject to exchange controls and restrictions. Non-RMB based investors are exposed to foreign exchange risk and there is no guarantee that the value of RMB against the investors’ base currencies (for example HKD) will not depreciate.

Debt securities market risks
Valuation risk – Valuation of the fund’s instruments may involve uncertainties and judgmental determinations. If such valuation turns out to be incorrect, this may affect the Net Asset Value of the ETF.
Interest rate risk - Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates and changes to other factors, such as perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness. Funds with higher durations generally are subject to greater interest rate risk.
Credit rating and downgrading risk – Credit ratings assigned by rating agencies are subject to limitations and do not guarantee the creditworthiness of the security and/or issuer at all times. The credit rating of a debt instrument or its issuer may subsequently be downgraded.

Foreign exchange, other currency distribution and distributions out of or effectively out of capital risk
All Units of the Unhedged Unit Class will receive distributions in the Base Currency (RMB) only. In the event that the relevant Unitholder has no RMB account, the Unitholder may have to bear the fees and charges associated with the conversion of such distribution from RMB to HKD or any other currency. The ETF’s base currency is in RMB but has Units of the Unhedged Unit Class traded in HKD and USD (in addition to RMB). Secondary market investors may be subject to additional costs or losses associated with fluctuations in the exchange rates between HKD or USD and the base currency and by changes in exchange rate controls when trading Units of the Unhedged Unit Class in the secondary market.

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 Net Asset Value per Unit of the Unhedged Unit Class of the ETF.

New Index Risk
The Index is a new index. The ETF may be riskier than other exchange traded funds tracking more established indices with longer operating history.

Securities Lending Transactions Risk
Securities lending transactions may involve the risk that the borrower may fail to return the securities lent out in a timely manner and the value of the collateral may fall below the value of the securities lent out.

Passive investments risk
The ETF is passively managed and the Manager will not have the discretion to adapt to market changes due to the inherent investment nature of the Sub-Fund. Falls in the Index are expected to result in corresponding falls in the value of the Sub-Fund.

Multi-counter risks
If there is a suspension of the inter-counter transfer of units between the counters and/or any limitation on the level of services by brokers and CCASS participants, unitholders will only be able to trade their units in one counter only, which may inhibit or delay an investor dealing. The market price of units traded in each counter may deviate significantly. As such, investors may pay more or receive less when buying or selling Units of the Unhedged Unit Class traded in one counter than the equivalent amount in the currency of another counter if the trade of the relevant Units of the Unhedged Unit Class took place on that other counter.

Reliance on market maker and liquidity risks
Although the Manager will ensure that at least one Market Maker will maintain a market for the Units of the Unhedged Unit Class in each counter, and that at least one Market Maker in each counter gives not less than 3 months’ notice prior to terminating the relevant market maker agreement, liquidity in the market for Units of the Unhedged Unit Class may be adversely affected if there is no or only one Market Maker for the Units of the Unhedged Unit Class. There is no guarantee that any market making activity will be effective.

PRC tax risk
There are risks and uncertainties associated with the current PRC tax laws, regulations and practice in respect of capital gains realised on the Sub-Fund's investments in PRC bonds (which may have retrospective effect). Any increased tax liabilities on the Sub-Fund may adversely affect the Sub-Fund’s value.
Based on professional and independent tax advice, the Manager does not currently make withholding income tax provision for gross realised or unrealised capital gains derived from trading of onshore Treasury and Policy Bank Bonds.

Fund Objective and Investment Strategy

The investment objective of the ETF is to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, closely correspond to the performance of the ICE 10+ Year China Government & Policy Bank Index. There can be no assurance that the ETF will achieve its investment objective.

In seeking to achieve the ETF’s investment objective, the Manager will use an optimised representative sampling strategy by investing directly in a representative sample of the RMB denominated and settled bonds issued by the Government of China, the China Development Bank, the Agricultural Development Bank of China or the Export-Import Bank of China and distributed within the PRC that collectively reflects the investment characteristics of the Index.

The ETF may use financial derivative instruments for hedging purposes only. The ETF’s net derivative exposure may be up to 50% of the Sub-Fund’s net asset value. There is no guarantee that the desired hedging instruments will be available or hedging strategy will achieve its desired results.

Portfolio Breakdown

As of Dec 10, 2024

The fund itself has not been rated by an independent rating agency. Credit quality ratings on underlying securities of the fund are received from S&P, Moody’s and Fitch. This breakdown is provided by Premia Partners and takes the middle rating of the agencies when all three agencies rate a security, the lower of the two ratings if only two agencies rate a security and one rating if that is all that is provided. Unrated securities do not necessarily indicate low quality. Ratings and portfolio credit quality may change over time. Due to rounding, percentages may not always appear to add up to 100%.
