The ABF Pan Asia Bond Index Fund (the 'PAIF') is an authorized unit trust in Hong Kong and Singapore only. Authorization does not imply official recommendation. Nothing contained here constitutes investment advice or should be relied on as such. Past performance of PAIF is not necessarily indicative of its future performance. Distributions from PAIF are contingent on dividends paid on underlying investments of PAIF and are not guaranteed. Listing of PAIF on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Tokyo Stock Exchange does not guarantee a liquid market for the units and PAIF may be delisted from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and/or the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Investors should read the PAIF's prospectus including the risk factors.
Securities lending programs and the subsequent reinvestment of the posted collateral are subject to a number of risks, including the risk that the value of the investments held in the collateral may decline in value and may at any point be worth less than the original cost of that investment.
The whole or any part of this work may not be reproduced, copied or transmitted or any of its contents disclosed to third parties without State Street IM's express written consent.
Bonds generally present less short-term risk and volatility than stocks, but contain interest rate risk (as interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall); issuer default risk; issuer credit risk; liquidity risk; and inflation risk. These effects are usually pronounced for longer-term securities. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to a substantial gain or loss.
The investment objective of PAIF is to provide investment results that closely correspond to the performance of its benchmark index. The primary driver of investment decisions is the objective of generating returns to meet the investment objective. Climate change analysis does not form part of the security selection process and climate-related risk is not a factor applicable to PAIF being able to meet its investment objective.
