the Singapore Prospectus for further information on risks of the product.
The price of Shares of the Fund and any income from them may fall as well as rise.These risk factors may cause you to lose some or all of your investment.
Market and Credit Risks•
The Fund may be subject to Currency Riskso Foreign currency exchange rate movements are likely to
influence the returns to investors in Singapore, hence investors may be exposed to exchange rate risks.

Liquidity Risks
•
Trading volumes in the underlying investments of the Fund may fluctuate significantly, due to factors including market development, market sentiment or regulatory/government intervention. An inability to readily sell investments at the desired time or price may negatively impact the Fund.
•
Redemptions may be suspended in certain circumstances detailed in the Prospectus.
Product-Specific Risks
•
The Fund may be subject to Derivatives Risks
o The use of derivatives may expose the Fund to a higher degree of risk. Derivative contracts can be highly volatile and a relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard bonds or equities. Leveraged derivative positions can hence increase the Fund’s volatility. The Fund may sustain loss as a result of the failure of a derivatives counterparty to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract.
•
The Fund may be subject to the risks of Securities Lending
o The Fund may engage in securities lending. As such, the Fund will have a credit risk exposure to the counterparties to any securities lending contract. The Fund’s investments can be lent to counterparties over a period of time. A default by the counterparty combined with a fall in the value of the collateral below that of the value of the securities lent may result in a reduction in the value of the Fund.
•
The Fund may be subject to Smaller Capitalisation Companies Risks
o The Fund may invest in small cap companies. Such investments may have higher than average volatility and liquidity risks.

KEY RISKSWHAT ARE THE KEY RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT? Refer to “Risk Factors” of
the Singapore Prospectus for further information on risks of the product.
The price of Shares of the Fund and any income from them may fall as well as rise.These risk factors may cause you to lose some or all of your investment.
Market and Credit Risks
•
The Fund may be subject to Currency Risks
o Foreign currency exchange rate movements are likely to influence the returns to investors in Singapore, hence investors may be exposed to exchange rate risks.
o For Hedged Share Classes, while the Fund attempts to hedge currency risks, there can be no guarantee that it will be successful in doing so.
•
The Fund may be subject to Emerging Market Risks

•
The Fund may be subject to Limited Market Sectors Riskso The Fund’s investments are concentrated in sectors and
companies that exhibit growth investment characteristics. This may subject the Fund to greater volatility and more rapid cyclical changes than more broad-based investments.
•
The Fund may be subject to Equity Riskso The values of equities fluctuate daily and can be
influenced by many factors including issuer-specific factors and broader economic and political developments.
Liquidity Risks
•
Trading volumes in the underlying investments of the Fund may fluctuate significantly, due to factors including market development, market sentiment or regulatory/government intervention. An inability to readily sell investments at the desired time or price may negatively impact the Fund.
•
Redemptions may be suspended in certain circumstances detailed in the Prospectus.
Product-Specific Risks•
The Fund may be subject to Derivatives Riskso The use of derivatives may expose the Fund to a higher
degree of risk. Derivative contracts can be highly volatile and a relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard bonds or equities. Leveraged derivative positions can hence increase the Fund’s volatility. The Fund may sustain loss as a result of the failure of a derivatives counterparty to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract.
•
The Fund may be subject to Smaller Capitalisation Companies Riskso The Fund may invest in small cap companies. Such
investments may have higher than average volatility and liquidity risks.

Market and Credit Risks• The Fund may be subject to Currency Risks

• The Fund may be subject to Emerging Market Risks

• The Fund may be subject to Foreign Investment Restrictions Risks

Liquidity Risks
•
Redemptions may be suspended in certain circumstances detailed in the Prospectus.
Product-Specific Risks• The Fund may be subject to Derivatives Risks
o The use of derivatives may expose the Fund to a higher degree of risk.

o The Fund may invest in securities issued by a company that is in financial difficulty or in default. This involves significant risk. There is no guarantee that any exchange offer or reorganisation will be successfully completed.

• The Fund may be subject to Equity Risks
o The values of equities fluctuate daily and can be influenced by many factors including issuer-specific factors and broader economic and political developments.
Liquidity Risks
•
Trading volumes in the underlying investments of the Fund may fluctuate significantly, due to factors including market development, market sentiment or regulatory/government intervention. An inability to readily sell investments at the desired time or price may negatively impact the Fund.
•
Redemptions may be suspended in certain circumstances detailed in the Prospectus.
Product-Specific Risks• The Fund may be subject to Derivatives Risks
o The use of derivatives may expose the Fund to a higher degree of risk. Derivative contracts can be highly volatile and a relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard bonds or equities. Leveraged derivative positions can hence increase the Fund’s volatility. The Fund may sustain loss as a result of the failure of a derivatives counterparty to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract.
• The Fund may be subject to Smaller Capitalisation Companies Risks
o The Fund may invest in small cap companies. Such investments may have higher than average volatility and liquidity risks.

Investment Strategy•
The Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in the equity securities of companies globally that benefit from, or contribute to, the advancement of the “Circular Economy”. Up to 20% of the total assets of the Fund may be invested in other equity securities, fixed income securities, collective investment schemes or cash for the purposes of meeting the Fund’s objective or for liquidity purposes.
Refe r to “ I nve st m e nt Object ive , Po l i cy and S t r a t e g y ” a n d “ U s e o f D e r i v a t i v e s a n d Securities Lending” of the Singapore Prospectus for further information on investment strategy.•
The Circular Economy concept recognises the importance of a sustainable economic system and represents an alternative economic model to the default “make-use-throw away” approach of consumption, which is believed to be unsustainable given scarce resources and the rising cost of managing waste. The concept promotes the redesign of products and systems to minimise waste and to enable greater recycling and reuse of materials.•
The Fund will aim to invest in line with the principles of the Circular Economy as determined by the Investment Manager (having regard to specialist third party information sources as appropriate). In normal market conditions the Fund will invest in a portfolio of equity securities of companies with large, medium and small market capitalisation, across all industry sectors, that benefit from the circular economy and/or contribute to the advancement of the circular economy across four categories:o Adopters: Companies that are adopting ‘circularity’
in their business operations (e.g. companies involved in sustainable fashion or companies that have made a commitment to use recycled plastics in production processes).
o Enablers: Companies that provide new, innovative solutions directly aimed at solving inefficient material use and pollution (e.g. companies involved in recycling of products, companies involved in reducing inputs such as water and energy and companies enabling sustainable transportation).
o Beneficiaries: Companies that provide alternatives to materials that cannot be recycled or supply these to the extended value chain (e.g. companies that will see an increase in demand for their products from shifts towards more easily recyclable products and companies that offer natural or plant-based circular alternatives to non-recyclable and non-biodegradable products).
o Business model winners: Companies that facilitate efficient or more responsible consumption via innovative business models (e.g. companies that replace existing business models with digital alternatives and companies that are involved in repair or resale which prolong the use of goods).•
The Fund may invest in emerging markets and invest directly up to 20% of its total assets in the PRC by investing via the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect.•
The Fund may use derivatives for investment purposes and for the purposes of efficient portfolio management.

Liquidity Risks
•
Trading volumes in the underlying investments of the Fund may fluctuate significantly, due to factors including market development, market sentiment or regulatory/government intervention. An inability to readily sell investments at the desired time or price may negatively impact the Fund.
•
Redemptions may be suspended in certain circumstances detailed in the Prospectus.
Product-Specific Risks• The Fund may be subject to Derivatives Risks
o The use of derivatives may expose the Fund to a higher degree of risk. Derivative contracts can be highly volatile and a relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard bonds or equities. Leveraged derivative positions can hence increase the Fund’s volatility. The Fund may sustain loss as a result of the failure of a derivatives counterparty to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract.
• The Fund may be subject to the risks of Securities Lending
o The Fund may engage in securities lending. As such, the Fund will have a credit risk exposure to the counterparties to any securities lending contract. The Fund’s investments can be lent to counterparties over a period of time. A default by the counterparty combined with a fall in the value of the collateral below that of the value of the securities lent may result in a reduction in the value of the Fund.
• The Fund may be subject to Smaller Capitalisation Companies Risks
o The Fund may invest in small cap companies. Such investments may have higher than average volatility and liquidity risks.

Market and Credit Risks• The Fund may be subject to Credit Risk of Issuers
o The Fund may be exposed to the credit/default risk of bonds that it invests in. In the event of bankruptcy or default of an issuer, the Fund may experience losses and incur costs.
• The Fund may be subject to Currency Risks
o Foreign currency exchange rate movements are likely to influence the returns to investors in Singapore, hence investors may be exposed to exchange rate risks.
Liquidity Risks
•

Product-Specific Risks• The Fund may be subject to Derivatives Risks
o The use of derivatives may expose the Fund to a higher degree of risk. Derivative contracts can be highly volatile and a relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard bonds or equities. Leveraged derivative positions can hence increase the Fund’s volatility. The Fund may sustain loss as a result of the failure of a derivatives counterparty to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract.
• The Fund may be subject to Distressed Securities Risks
o The Fund may invest in securities issued by a company that is in financial difficulty or in default. This involves significant risk. There is no guarantee that any exchange offer or reorganisation will be successfully completed.

the Singapore Prospectus for further information on risks of the product.
The price of Shares of the Fund and any income from them may fall as well as rise.These risk factors may cause you to lose some or all of your investment.
Market and Credit Risks• The Fund may be subject to Currency Risks
o Foreign currency exchange rate movements are likely to influence the returns to investors in Singapore, hence investors may be exposed to exchange rate risks.
o For Hedged Share Classes, while the Fund attempts to hedge currency risks, there can be no guarantee that it will be successful in doing so.

• The Fund may be subject to Equity Risks
o The values of equities fluctuate daily and can be influenced by many factors including issuer-specific factors and broader economic and political developments.
Liquidity Risks
•
Trading volumes in the underlying investments of the Fund may fluctuate significantly, due to factors including market development, market sentiment or regulatory/government intervention. An inability to readily sell investments at the desired time or price may negatively impact the Fund.
•
Redemptions may be suspended in certain circumstances detailed in the Prospectus.

• The Fund may be subject to Smaller Capitalisation Companies Risks
o The Fund may invest in small cap companies. Such investments may have higher than average volatility and liquidity risks.

The Fund invests at least 70% of its total assets in fixed income transferable securities issued by governments and government agencies of, and companies domiciled in, or exercising the predominant part of their economic activity in, emerging markets, denominated in both emerging market and non-emerging market currencies, and included within the Index. The Index provides the investment universe for at least 70% of the Fund’s total assets. The weighting of Index Securities within the Fund’s portfolio may differ from the weightings of securities within the Index, as the Fund is actively managed and does not seek to track the Index.

The Index methodology assesses and ranks potential constituents according to their ESG credentials relative to their industry peers.•
The Fund may also invest in fixed income transferable securities of issuers which are not included in the Fund’s benchmark index at the time of purchase, but which the Investment Adviser considers to meet similar ESG criteria (in addition to other investment criteria).•
The Fund may gain direct exposure for no more than 20% of its total assets to on-shore bonds distributed in Mainland China in the China Interbank Bond Market via the Foreign Access Regime and/or Bond Connect and/or other means as may be permitted by the relevant regulations from time to time.•The Fund may invest not more than 20% of its Net Asset Value in debt securities issued by and/or guaranteed by governments in each of Argentina, Brazil, Hungary, Indonesia, Mexico, the Philippines, Russia, Republic of South Africa, Turkey and Ukraine.•

Such companies generally take the form of small, mid or large capitalisation companies that are undervalued and exhibit growth investment characteristics, such as above-average growth rates in earnings or sales and high or improving returns on capital. In some cases such companies can also benefit from changes in corporate strategy and business restructuring.

Investment Strategy
•
The Fund invests at least 70% of its total assets in fixed income transferable securities denominated in various currencies issued by governments, agencies and companies worldwide. The full spectrum of available securities, including non-investment grade, may be utilised. Currency exposure is flexibly managed.
Refe r to “ I nve st m e nt Object ive , Po l i cy and S t r a t e g y ” a n d “ U s e o f D e r i v a t i v e s a n d Securities Lending” of the Singapore Prospectus for further information on investment strategy.
•
The Fund may gain direct exposure for no more than 20% of its total assets to onshore bonds distributed in Mainland China in the China Interbank Bond Market via the Foreign Access Regime and/or Bond Connect and/or other means as may be permitted by the relevant regulations from time to time.•
As part of its investment objective the Fund may invest up to 100% of its total assets in ABS and MBS. ABS and MBS are debt securities backed or collateralised by the income stream from an underlying pool of assets or mortgage loans respectively. It is anticipated that a large portion of the ABS and MBS held by the Fund will have an investment grade rating, but the Fund will be able to use the full spectrum of available ABS and MBS, including non-investment grade instruments. ABS and MBS held by the Fund may include asset-backed commercial paper, collateralised debt obligations, collateralised mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage-backed securities, credit-linked notes, real estate mortgage investment conduits, residential mortgage-backed securities and synthetic collateralised debt obligations. The issuers of the ABS and MBS may be companies, governments or municipalities and, more particularly, the Fund may hold MBS issued by government-sponsored enterprises. The underlying assets of the ABS and MBS may include loans, leases or receivables (such as credit card debt, automobile loans and student loans in the case of ABS and commercial and residential mortgages originating from a regulated and authorised financial institution in the case of MBS). Although this will not typically be the case, the ABS and MBS in which the Fund invests may use leverage to increase return to investors.•
The Fund’s exposure to contingent convertible bonds is limited to 20% of total assets. The Fund’s exposure to Distressed Securities is limited to 10% of its total assets.•
The Fund may use derivatives for investment purposes and for the purposes of efficient portfolio management. Where the Fund uses derivatives, this may generate varying amounts of market leverage and at times these levels of market leverage may be high. The use of derivatives will inevitably create leverage. A high leverage number is not necessarily an indication of high risk.

Market and Credit Risks•
The Fund may be subject to Credit Risk of Issuerso The Fund may be exposed to the credit/default risk of
bonds that it invests in. In the event of bankruptcy or default of an issuer, the Fund may experience losses and incur costs.
Liquidity Risks
•
Redemptions may be suspended in certain circumstances detailed in the Prospectus.
Product-Specific Risks
•
The Fund may be subject to ABS and MBS Riskso The obligations associated with these securities may
be subject to greater credit, liquidity and interest rate risk compared to other fixed income securities such as government issued bonds.
o ABS and MBS are often exposed to extension risk (where obligations in the underlying assets are not paid on time) and prepayment risks (where obligations on the underlying assets are paid earlier than expected). These risks may have a substantial impact on the timing and size of the cashflows paid by the securities and may negatively impact the returns of the securities.
•
The Fund may be subject to Distressed Securities Risks
o The Fund may invest in securities issued by a company that is in financial difficulty or in default. This involves significant risk. There is no guarantee that any exchange offer or reorganisation will be successfully completed.

The price of Shares of the Fund and any income from them may fall as well as rise.These risk factors may cause you to lose some or all of your investment.
Market and Credit Risks• The Fund may be subject to Credit Risk of Issuers
o The Fund may be exposed to the credit/default risk of bonds that it invests in. In the event of bankruptcy or default of an issuer, the Fund may experience losses and incur costs.

o The actual or perceived downgrading of a rated debt security or its issuer could decrease the value and liquidity of the security, and may have an adverse impact on the Fund. However, the Fund may continue to hold it to avoid a distressed sale.
• The Fund may be subject to Foreign Investment Restrictions Riskso Some countries prohibit or restrict investment, or the
repatriation of income, capital or the proceeds from sale of securities. The Fund may incur higher costs investing in these countries. Such restrictions may delay the investment or repatriation of capital of the Fund.
Liquidity Risks
• Redemptions may be suspended in certain circumstances detailed in the Prospectus.
Product-Specific Risks• The Fund may be subject to Derivatives Risks
o The use of derivatives may expose the Fund to a higher degree of risk. Derivative contracts can be highly volatile and a relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard bonds or equities. Leveraged derivative positions can hence increase the Fund’s volatility. The Fund may sustain loss as a result of the failure of a derivatives counterparty to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract.

KEY RISKSWHAT ARE THE KEY RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT? Refer to “Risk Factors” of
the Singapore Prospectus for further information on risks of the product.
The price of Shares of the Fund and any income from them may fall as well as rise.These risk factors may cause you to lose some or all of your investment.
Market and Credit Risks• The Fund may be subject to Currency Risks
o Foreign currency exchange rate movements are likely to influence the returns to investors in Singapore, hence investors may be exposed to exchange rate risks.
o For Hedged Share Classes, while the Fund attempts to hedge currency risks, there can be no guarantee that it will be successful in doing so.
• The Fund may be subject to Emerging Market Riskso The Fund may invest in one or more emerging markets
and may be subject to a higher than average volatility than investing in more developed markets due to greater political, tax, economic, social, foreign exchange, custodial, liquidity, regulatory or other risks.
• The Fund may be subject to Foreign Investment Restrictions Riskso Some countries prohibit or restrict investment, or the
repatriation of income, capital or the proceeds from sale of securities. The Fund may incur higher costs investing in these countries. Such restrictions may delay the investment or repatriation of capital of the Fund.

Investment Strategy
•
The Fund invests at least 70% of its total assets in inflation-linked fixed income transferable securities that are issued globally. The Fund may invest in fixed income transferable securities which are investment grade or non-investment grade (up to a limit of 10% of total assets). Currency exposure is flexibly managed.

•
It is intended that the maturity of the majority of the fixed income securities held by the Fund will be less than 20 years. However, since the Fund is actively managed, it still has the flexibility to invest in fixed income securities which have a maturity profile outside of the 1 to 20 years range.

o The actual or perceived downgrading of a rated debt security or its issuer could decrease the value and liquidity of the security, and may have an adverse impact on the Fund. However, the Fund may continue to hold it to avoid a distressed sale.
• The Fund may be subject to Delayed Delivery Transactions Riskso The Fund may commit to buy a mortgage-backed security
from a mortgage pool for a fixed price at a future date, where the exact security is not known but the main characteristics are specified (a “To Be Announced” security/“TBA”). TBAs may involve counterparty default risk and a risk that the agreed (fixed) price is higher than the prevailing market price at the settlement date. These may have an adverse impact on the value of the Fund.
Liquidity Risks
•
Redemptions may be suspended in certain circumstances detailed in the Prospectus.
Product-Specific Risks• The Fund may be subject to Derivatives Risks
o The use of derivatives may expose the Fund to a higher degree of risk. Derivative contracts can be highly volatile and a relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard bonds or equities. Leveraged derivative positions can hence increase the Fund’s volatility. The Fund may sustain loss as a result of the failure of a derivatives counterparty to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract.
• The Fund may be subject to Non-Investment Grade Bonds Riskso The Fund may invest in non-investment grade bonds.
This may subject the Fund to higher credit/default risks, volatility and liquidity risks than investment grade bonds.

Market and Credit Risks• The Fund may be subject to Currency Risks

Product-Specific Risks• The Fund may be subject to Derivatives Risks
o The use of derivatives may expose the Fund to a higher degree of risk. Derivative contracts can be highly volatile and a relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard bonds or equities. Leveraged derivative positions can hence increase the Fund’s volatility. The Fund may sustain loss as a result of the failure of a derivatives counterparty to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract.
• The Fund may be subject to the risks of Securities Lending
o The Fund may engage in securities lending. As such, the Fund will have a credit risk exposure to the counterparties to any securities lending contract. The Fund’s investments can be lent to counterparties over a period of time. A default by the counterparty combined with a fall in the value of the collateral below that of the value of the securities lent may result in a reduction in the value of the Fund.
• The Fund may be subject to Smaller Capitalisation Companies Risks
o The Fund may invest in small cap companies. Such investments may have higher than average volatility and liquidity risks.

the Singapore Prospectus for further information on risks of the product.
The price of Shares of the Fund and any income from them may fall as well as rise.These risk factors may cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

o For Hedged Share Classes, while the Fund attempts to hedge currency risks, there can be no guarantee that it will be successful in doing so.
• The Fund may be subject to Emerging Market Riskso The Fund may invest in one or more emerging markets

• The Fund may be subject to Limited Market Sectors Risks
o The Fund’s investments are concentrated in the alternative and energy technologies sectors. This may subject the Fund to greater volatility and more rapid cyclical changes than more broad-based investments.
• The Fund may be subject to Equity Risks
o The values of equities fluctuate daily and can be influenced by many factors including issuer-specific factors and broader economic and political developments.
Liquidity Risks
•
Redemptions may be suspended in certain circumstances detailed in the Prospectus.
Product-Specific Risks• The Fund may be subject to Derivatives Risks
o The use of derivatives may expose the Fund to a higher degree of risk. Derivative contracts can be highly volatile and a relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard bonds or equities.

The Fund may sustain loss as a result of the failure of a derivatives counterparty to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract.
• The Fund may be subject to Smaller Capitalisation Companies Risks
o The Fund may invest in small cap companies. Such investments may have higher than average volatility and liquidity risks.

Product-Specific Risks• The Fund may be subject to Derivatives Risks
o
The use of derivatives may expose the Fund to a higher degree of risk. Derivative contracts can be highly volatile and a relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard bonds or equities. Leveraged derivative positions can hence increase the Fund’s volatility. The Fund may sustain loss as a result of the failure of a derivatives counterparty to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract.
• The Fund may be subject to the risks of Securities Lending
o
The Fund may engage in securities lending. As such, the Fund will have a credit risk exposure to the counterparties to any securities lending contract. The Fund’s investments can be lent to counterparties over a period of time. A default by the counterparty combined with a fall in the value of the collateral below that of the value of the securities lent may result in a reduction in the value of the Fund.
• The Fund may be subject to Smaller Capitalisation Companies Risks

Product-Specific Risks• The Fund may be subject to Derivatives Risks
o
The use of derivatives may expose the Fund to a higher degree of risk. Derivative contracts can be highly volatile and a relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard bonds or equities. Leveraged derivative positions can hence increase the Fund’s volatility. The Fund may sustain loss as a result of the failure of a derivatives counterparty to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract.
• The Fund may be subject to the risks of Securities Lending
o
The Fund may engage in securities lending. As such, the Fund will have a credit risk exposure to the counterparties to any securities lending contract. The Fund’s investments can be lent to counterparties over a period of time. A default by the counterparty combined with a fall in the value of the collateral below that of the value of the securities lent may result in a reduction in the value of the Fund.

Investment Strategy
•
The Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in investment grade fixed income transferable securities. At least 70% of the Fund’s total assets are invested in fixed income transferable securities denominated in US dollars. Currency exposure is flexibly managed.
Refe r to “ I nve st m e nt Object ive , Po l i cy and S t r a t e g y ” a n d “ U s e o f D e r i v a t i v e s a n d Securities Lending” of the Singapore Prospectus for further information on investment strategy.
•
The Fund may gain direct exposure for no more than 20% of its total assets to onshore bonds distributed in Mainland China in the China Interbank Bond Market via the Foreign Access Regime and/or Bond Connect and/or other means as may be permitted by the relevant regulations from time to time.
•
As part of its investment objective the Fund may invest up to 100% of its total assets in ABS and MBS, ABS and MBS are debt securities backed or collateralised by the income stream from an underlying pool of assets or mortgage loans respectively. It is anticipated that a large portion of the ABS and MBS held by the Fund will have an investment grade rating but the Fund will be able to utilise the full spectrum of available ABS and MBS, including non-investment grade or not instruments. ABS and MBS held by the Fund may include asset-backed commercial paper, collateralised debt obligations, collateralised mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage-backed securities, credit-linked notes, real estate mortgage investment conduits, residential mortgage-backed securities and synthetic collateralised debt obligations. The issuers of the ABS and MBS may be companies, governments or municipalities and, more particularly, the Fund may hold MBS issued by government-sponsored enterprises. The underlying assets of the ABS and MBS may include loans, leases or receivables (such as credit card debt, automobile loans and student loans in the case of ABS and commercial and residential mortgages originating from a regulated and authorised financial institution in the case of MBS). Although this will not typically be the case, the ABS and MBS in which the Fund invests may use leverage to increase return to investors.
•
The Fund’s exposure to Distressed Securities is limited to 10% of its total assets and its exposure to contingent convertible bonds is limited to 10% of its total assets.
•
The Fund may use derivatives for investment purposes and for the purposes of efficient portfolio management. Where the Fund uses derivatives, this may generate varying amounts of market leverage and at times these levels of market leverage may be high. The use of derivatives will inevitably create leverage. A high leverage number is not necessarily an indication of high risk.

the Singapore Prospectus for further information on risks of the product.
The price of Shares of the Fund and any income from them may fall as well as rise.These risk factors may cause you to lose some or all of your investment.
Market and Credit Risks• The Fund may be subject to Credit Risk of Issuers
o
The Fund may be exposed to the credit/default risk of bonds that it invests in. In the event of bankruptcy or default of an issuer, the Fund may experience losses and incur costs.
o

Product-Specific Risks• The Fund may be subject to Derivatives Risks
o
The use of derivatives may expose the Fund to a higher degree of risk. Derivative contracts can be highly volatile and a relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard bonds or equities.

The Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in fixed income transferable securities issued or guaranteed by the United States Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, including Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) mortgage-backed certificates and other US Government securities representing ownership interests in mortgage pools, such as mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

•
As part of its investment objective the Fund may invest up to 100% of its total assets in asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) whether investment grade or not. The ABS and MBS will generally be issued in the US, the securitised assets will be rated investment grade by at least one of the leading credit rating agencies and agency ABS and MBS will carry the same credit rating as the US Government. These may include asset-backed commercial paper, collateralised debt obligations, collateralised mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage-backed securities, credit–linked notes, real estate mortgage investment conduits, residential mortgage-backed securities and synthetic collateralised debt obligations. The underlying assets of the ABS and MBS may include loans, leases or receivables (such as credit card debt, automobile loans and student loans in the case of ABS and commercial and residential mortgages originating from a regulated and authorised financial institution in the case of MBS). The ABS and MBS in which the Fund invests may use leverage to increase return to investors. Certain ABS may be structured by using a derivative such as a credit default swap or a basket of such derivatives to gain exposure to the performance of securities of various issuers without having to invest in the securities directly.
•
The Fund may use derivatives for investment purposes and for the purposes of efficient portfolio management.

Market and Credit Risks• The Fund may be subject to Credit Risk of Issuers
o
The Fund may be exposed to the credit/default risk of bonds that it invests in. In the event of bankruptcy or default of an issuer, the Fund may experience losses and incur costs.
o
The actual or perceived downgrading of a rated debt security or its issuer could decrease the its value and liquidity of the security, and may have an adverse impact on the Fund. However, the Fund may continue to hold it to avoid a distressed sale.
• The Fund may be subject to Sovereign Debt Risks
o
The Fund may invest in bonds issued or guaranteed by governments or authorities, which may involve political, economic, default, or other risks.
Liquidity Risks
•
Redemptions may be suspended in certain circumstances detailed in the Prospectus.
Product-Specific Risks• The Fund may be subject to Derivatives Risks
o
The use of derivatives may expose the Fund to a higher degree of risk. Derivative contracts can be highly volatile and a relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard bonds or equities. Leveraged derivative positions can hence increase the Fund’s volatility. The Fund may sustain loss as a result of the failure of a derivatives counterparty to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract.

o
The actual or perceived downgrading of a rated debt security or its issuer could decrease the value and liquidity of the security, and may have an adverse impact on the Fund. However, the Fund may continue to hold it to avoid a distressed sale.
• The Fund may be subject to Emerging Market Risks
o
The Fund may invest in one or more emerging markets and may be subject to a higher than average volatility than investing in more developed markets due to greater political, tax, economic, social, foreign exchange, custodial, liquidity, regulatory or other risks.
Liquidity Risks
•
Redemptions may be suspended in certain circumstances detailed in the Prospectus.
Product-Specific Risks• The Fund may be subject to Derivatives Risks
o
The use of derivatives may expose the Fund to a higher degree of risk. Derivative contracts can be highly volatile and a relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard bonds or equities. Leveraged derivative positions can hence increase the Fund’s volatility. The Fund may sustain loss as a result of the failure of a derivatives counterparty to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract.
• The Fund may be subject to Non-Investment Grade Bonds Risks
o
The Fund may invest in non-investment grade bonds. This may subject the Fund to higher credit/default risks, volatility and liquidity risks than investment grade bonds.

KEY RISKSWHAT ARE THE KEY RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT? Refer to “Risk Factors” of
the Singapore Prospectus for further information on risks of the product.
The price of Shares of the Fund and any income from them may fall as well as rise.These risk factors may cause you to lose some or all of your investment.
Market and Credit Risks• The Fund may be subject to Currency Risks
o
Foreign currency exchange rate movements are likely to influence the returns to investors in Singapore, hence investors may be exposed to exchange rate risks.o
For Hedged Share Classes, while the Fund attempts to hedge currency risks, there can be no guarantee that it will be successful in doing so.
• The Fund may be subject to Emerging Market Risks
o
The Fund may invest in one or more emerging markets and may be subject to a higher than average volatility than investing in more developed markets due to greater political, tax, economic, social, foreign exchange, custodial, liquidity, regulatory or other risks.
• The Fund may be subject to Foreign Investment Restrictions Risks
o
Some countries prohibit or restrict investment, or the repatriation of income, capital or the proceeds from sale of securities. The Fund may incur higher costs investing in these countries. Such restrictions may delay the investment or repatriation of capital of the Fund.

The Fund’s investments are concentrated in the gold and precious metals sector, which may include investments in commodities-linked exchange traded funds. This may subject the Fund to greater volatility and more rapid cyclical changes than more broad-based investments.

• The Fund may be subject to Equity Risks
o
The values of equities fluctuate daily and can be influenced by many factors including issuer-specific factors and broader economic and political developments.
Liquidity Risks
•
Redemptions may be suspended in certain circumstances detailed in the Prospectus.
Product-Specific Risks• The Fund may be subject to Derivatives Risks
o
The use of derivatives may expose the Fund to a higher degree of risk. Derivative contracts can be highly volatile and a relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard bonds or equities. Leveraged derivative positions can hence increase the Fund’s volatility. The Fund may sustain loss as a result of the failure of a derivatives counterparty to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract.
• The Fund may be subject to Smaller Capitalisation Companies Risks
o
The Fund may invest in small cap companies. Such investments may have higher than average volatility and liquidity risks.
• The Fund may be subject to the risks of Commodities accessed via ETFs
o
An ETF tracking a commodities index can be highly concentrated on selected commodity futures, which may subject the Fund to higher volatility.
