1. The Principal Sustainable Asia Equity Income Fund (“Sub-Fund”) will invest in a diversified portfolio of listed securities in the Asia Pacific (ex-Japan) region, including but not limited to the following: Australia, Greater China (including PRC, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan), Indonesia, India, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand. The Sub-Fund will focus on ESG achievers which demonstrate strong corporate fundamentals and offer the potential for superior dividend yields. The Sub-Fund will also seek to achieve capital appreciation with relatively moderate to high volatility commensurate with investing in equities. The Sub-Fund aims to maintain a minimum of 70% of the Sub-Fund’s net asset value invested in listed securities issued by ESG achievers as well as ESG achiever ETFs/CISs. The aggregate investment of the Sub-Fund’s investment in ETFs and CISs (including ESG achiever ETFs/CISs) will be less than 30% of the Sub-Fund’s net asset value.
2. The Sub-Fund invests in equities located in developed markets and in emerging markets. Such investments carry general investment risk, equity market risk, ESG investment policy risk, currency risk, concentration risk, specific risks in investing in emerging markets and other associated risks that can cause portfolio values to be very volatile.
3. The use of ESG criteria may affect the Sub-Fund’s investment performance and, as such, the Sub-Fund may perform differently compared to similar funds that do not use such criteria. For instance, ESG criteria used in the Sub-Fund’s investment policy may result in the Sub-Fund forgoing opportunities to buy certain securities when it might otherwise be advantageous to do so, and/or selling securities due to such securities no longer meeting the Sub-Fund’s ESG criteria when it might be disadvantageous to do so. As such, the application of ESG criteria may restrict the ability of the Sub-Fund to acquire or dispose of its investments at a price and time that it wishes to do so, and may therefore result in a loss to the Sub-Fund. The use of ESG criteria may also result in the Sub-Fund being concentrated in companies with a focus on ESG criteria and its value may be more volatile than that of a fund having a more diverse portfolio of investments. The selection of securities may involve the subjective judgement of the Fund Manager’s Delegate. There is also a lack of standardised taxonomy of ESG criteria evaluation methodology and the way in which different funds apply such ESG criteria may vary. The Fund Manager and the Fund Manager’s Delegate’s ESG assessment takes into account ESG data and research from external data providers, which may be incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable. As a result, there is a risk associated with the assessment of a security or issuer based on such information or data.
4. In respect of the Income Class Units, the Fund Manager may at its discretion pay dividend out of gross income while paying all or part of the fees and expenses attributable to the Income Class Units out of the capital of such units, resulting in an increase in distributable income for the payment of dividend by the Income Class Units and therefore, the Sub-Fund may effectively pay dividend out of capital. For Income Plus Class Units, the Fund Manager may pay dividends out of capital. The payment of dividends effectively out of capital or out of capital amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of a Unitholder’s original investment in the Income Class Units or the Income Plus Class Units or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Any such distributions may result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per unit. Dividend is not guaranteed.
5. The Sub-Fund’s net derivative exposure may be up to 50% of the Sub-Fund’s net asset value, which exposes the Sub-Fund to risks associated with investment in financial derivative instruments (FDI).
6. Investment involves risk. There is no assurance on investment returns and you may not get back the amount originally invested.
7. The investment decision is yours and you should not invest in this Sub-Fund unless the intermediary who sells it to you has advised you that it is suitable for you and explained how it is consistent with your investment objectives.
