Important Information about ChinaAMC NASDAQ-100 Index Daily (2x)
Leveraged Product
ChinaAMC NASDAQ-100 Index Daily (2x) Leveraged Product (the "Product") is a leveraged
product. It is different from conventional exchange traded funds as it seeks
leveraged investment results relative to NASDAQ-100 Index (the "Index") and only on
a daily basis. The Product is not intended for holding longer than one day as the
performance of the Product over a longer period may deviate from and be uncorrelated
to the leveraged performance of the Index over the period. The Product is designed
to be used for short term trading or hedging purposes, and is not intended for long
term investment. The Product only targets sophisticated trading-oriented investors
who understand the potential consequences of seeking daily leveraged results and the
associated risks and constantly monitor the performance of their holdings on a daily
basis.
- The Product aims to provide daily investment results, before fees and expenses,
which closely correspond to the twice (2x) the daily performance of the Index.
The Product does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective over a
period of time greater than one day.
- The Product is a derivative product and is not suitable for all investors.
There is no guarantee of the repayment of principal. Your investment in the
Product may suffer substantial or total losses.
- The Product is not intended for holding longer than one day as the performance
of the Product over a period longer than one day will very likely differ in
amount and possibly direction from the leveraged performance of the Index over
that same period (e.g. the loss may be more than twice the fall in the Index).
- Investment in futures contracts involves specific risks such as high
volatility, leverage, rollover and margin risks. There may be imperfect
correlation between the value of the underlying reference assets and the futures
contracts, which may prevent the Product from achieving its investment
objective. The Product may be adversely affected by the cost of rolling
positions forward as the futures contracts approach expiry. An extremely high
degree of leverage is typical of a futures trading account. As a result, a
relatively small price movement in a future contract may result in a
proportionally high impact and substantial losses to the Product.
- The Product will use leverage to achieve a Daily return equivalent to twice
(2x) of the return of the Index. Should the value of the underlying securities
of the Index decrease, the use of a leverage factor of 2 in the Product will
trigger an accelerated decrease in the value of the Product's NAV compared to
the Index. Both gains and losses will be magnified. Unitholders could, in
certain circumstances including a bear market, face minimal or no returns, or
may even suffer a complete loss, on such investments.
- There is no assurance that the Product can rebalance its portfolio on a Daily
basis to achieve its investment objective. Market disruption, regulatory
restrictions or extreme market volatility may adversely affect the Product's
ability to rebalance its portfolio.
- The Product is exposed to liquidity risk linked to the futures contracts.
Moreover, the rebalancing activities of the Product typically take place at or
around the close of trading on the NASDAQ to minimise tracking difference. As a
result, the Product may be more exposed to the market conditions during a
shorter interval and may be more subject to liquidity risk.
- The Product is normally rebalanced at or around the close of trading on the
NASDAQ. As such, return for investors that invest for period less than a full
trading day will generally be greater than or less than two times (2x) leveraged
investment exposure to the Index, depending upon the movement of the Index from
the end of one trading day until the time of purchase.
- Daily rebalancing of Product's holdings causes a higher level of portfolio
transactions than compared to the conventional exchange traded funds. High
levels of transactions increase brokerage and other transaction costs.
- The Product's investment in equity securities is subject to general market
risks.
- The Product is subject to concentration risks as a result of tracking the
leveraged performance of companies from the technology sector and its
concentration in the US market which may be more volatile than other markets.
The value of the Product may be more volatile than that of a broadly-based fund.
- The Product may be subject to tracking error risk. Tracking error may result
from the investment strategy used, high portfolio turnover, liquidity of the
market and fees and expenses and the correlation between the performance of the
Product and the twice (2x) Daily performance of the Index may be reduced. There
can be no assurance of exact or identical replication of the twice performance
of the Index at any time, including on an intra-day basis.
- Distributions (if any) will be made in USD. If you has no USD account, you may
have to bear the fees and charges associated with the conversion of such
dividend from USD to HKD or any other currency.
- The Product is passively managed and the Manager will not have the discretion
to adapt to market change due to the inherent investment nature of the Product.
Falls in the Index are expected to result in falls in the value of the Product.
- The daily price limit for the NASDAQ (which is triggered when the price of the
S&P 500 Index drops 20% in a day) and the daily price limit for the futures
contracts are different. As such, should the Index's daily price movement be
greater than the price limit of the futures contracts, the Product may not be
able to achieve its investment objective as the futures contracts are unable to
deliver a return beyond their price limit.
- As the CME may be open when Units in the Product are not priced, the value of
the futures contracts in the Product's portfolio, or the value of constituents
in the Index to which such futures contracts are linked, may change on days when
investors will not be able to purchase or sell the Product's Units. Differences
in trading hours between the CME and the SEHK may increase the level of
premium/discount of the Unit price to its NAV. The NASDAQ and the CME have
different trading hours. Trading of the Index constituents closes earlier than
trading of the futures contracts, so there may continue to be price movements
for the futures contracts when Index constituents are not trading.
- 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.
Important Information about ChinaAMC NASDAQ-100 Index Daily (-2x)
Inverse Product
ChinaAMC NASDAQ-100 Index Daily (-2x) Inverse Product (the "Product") is to provide
daily investment results, before fees and expenses, which closely correspond to the
two times inverse (-2x) of the Daily performance of the NASDAQ-100 Index (the
"Index"). It is different from conventional exchange traded funds. The Product is
not intended for holding longer than one day as the performance of the Product over
a longer period may deviate from and be uncorrelated to the two times inverse
performance of the Index over the period. The Product is designed to be used for
short term trading or hedging purposes, and is not intended for long term
investment. This Product is a derivative product only targets sophisticated
trading-oriented investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking
daily two times inverse results and the associated risks and constantly monitor the
performance of their holdings on a daily basis.
- The Product will utilise leverage to achieve a Daily return equivalent to minus
two times (-2x) the return of the Index. Both gains and losses will be
magnified. The risk of loss resulting from an investment in the Product in
certain circumstances including a bull market will be substantially more than a
fund that does not employ leverage.
- The Product is not intended for holding longer than one day as the performance
of the Product over a period longer than one day will very likely differ in
amount and possibly direction from the two times inverse performance of the
Index over that same period (e.g. the loss may be more than -2 times the
increase in the Index).
- Investing in the Product is different from taking a short position. Because of
rebalancing, the return profile of the Product is not the same as that of a
short position.
- Risk investment outcome of the Product is the opposite of conventional
investment funds. If the value of the Index increases for extended periods, the
Product will likely to lose most or all of its value.
- Investment in futures contracts involves specific risks such as high
volatility, leverage, rollover and margin risks. There may be imperfect
correlation between the value of the underlying reference assets and the futures
contracts. An extremely high degree of leverage is typical of a futures trading
account. As a result, a relatively small price movement in an E-mini NASDAQ 100
Future may result in a proportionally high impact and substantial losses to the
Product.
- The Product tracks the two-times inverse (-2x) Daily performance of the Index.
Should the value of the underlying securities of the Index increase, it could
have a magnified negative effect on the performance of the Product.
- There is no assurance that the Product can rebalance its portfolio on a Daily
basis to achieve its investment objective. Market disruption, regulatory
restrictions or extreme market volatility may adversely affect the Product's
ability to rebalance its portfolio.
- The Product is exposed to liquidity risk linked to E-mini NASDAQ 100 Futures.
Moreover, the rebalancing activities of the Product typically take place at or
around the close of trading on the NASDAQ to minimise tracking difference.
- The Product is normally rebalanced at or around the close of trading on the
NASDAQ. As such, return for investors that invest for period less than a full
trading day will generally be greater than or less than the inverse investment
exposure to the Index.
- Daily rebalancing of Product's holdings causes a higher level of portfolio
transactions than compared to the conventional exchange traded funds. High
levels of transactions increase brokerage and other transaction costs.
- The Product is subject to concentration risks as a result of tracking the
inverse performance of companies from the technology sector and its
concentration in the US market which may be more volatile than other markets.
The value of the Product may be more volatile than that of a broadly-based fund.
- The Product may be subject to tracking error risk. Tracking error may result
from the investment strategy used, high portfolio turnover, liquidity of the
market and fees and expenses and the correlation between the performance of the
Product and the two times inverse (-2x) Daily performance of the Index may be
reduced. There can be no assurance of exact or identical replication of the two
times inverse performance of the Index at any time, including on an intra-day
basis.
- Distributions (if any) will be made in USD. If you has no USD account, you may
have to bear the fees and charges associated with the conversion of such
distribution from USD to HKD or any other currency.
- The Product is passively managed and the Manager will not have the discretion
to adapt to market change due to the inherent investment nature of the Product.
When the Index moves in an unfavourable direction (i.e. if it increases), the
Product will decrease in value.
- The daily price limit for the NASDAQ and the daily price limit for the E-mini
NASDAQ 100 Futures are different. As such, should the Index's daily price
movement be greater than the price limit of the E-mini NASDAQ 100 Futures, the
Product may not be able to achieve its investment objective.
- As the CME may be open when Units in the Product are not priced, the value of
the E-mini NASDAQ 100 Futures in the Product's portfolio, or the value of
constituents in the Index to which such futures contracts are linked, may change
on days when investors will not be able to purchase or sell the Product's Units.
Differences in trading hours between the CME and the SEHK may increase the level
of premium/discount of the Unit price to its NAV. The NASDAQ and the CME have
different trading hours. Trading of the Index constituents closes earlier than
trading of the E-mini NASDAQ 100 Futures, so there may continue to be price
movements for the E-mini NASDAQ 100 Futures when Index constituents are not
trading.
- 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.
Important Information about ChinaAMC NASDAQ-100 Index Daily (-1x)
Inverse Product
ChinaAMC NASDAQ-100 Index Daily (-1x) Inverse Product (the "Product") is an inverse
product. It is different from conventional exchange traded funds as it seeks inverse
investment results relative to NASDAQ-100 Index (the "Index") and only on a daily
basis. The Product is not intended for holding longer than one day as the
performance of the Product over a longer period may deviate from and be uncorrelated
to the inverse performance of the Index over the period. The Product is designed to
be used for short term trading or hedging purposes, and is not intended for long
term investment. This product only targets sophisticated trading-oriented investors
who understand the potential consequences of seeking daily inverse results and the
associated risks and constantly monitor the performance of their holdings on a daily
basis.
- The Product aims to provide daily investment results, before fees and expenses,
which closely correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the
Index. The Product does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective over
a period of time greater than one day.
- The Product is a derivative product and is not suitable for all investors.
There is no guarantee of the repayment of principal. Therefore your investment
in the Product may suffer substantial or total losses.
- The Product is not intended for holding longer than one day as the performance
of the Product over a period longer than one day will very likely differ in
amount and possibly direction from the inverse performance of the Index over
that same period (e.g. the loss may be more than -1 times the increase in the
Index).
- Investing in the Product is different from taking a short position. Because of
rebalancing, the return profile of the Product is not the same as that of a
short position. In a volatile market with frequent directional swings, the
performance of the Product may deviate from a short position.
- Risk investment outcome of the Product is the opposite of conventional
investment funds. If the value of the Index increases for extended periods, the
Product will likely to lose most or all of its value.
- Investment in futures contracts involves specific risks such as high
volatility, leverage, rollover and margin risks. There may be imperfect
correlation between the value of the underlying reference assets and the futures
contracts, which may prevent the Product from achieving its investment
objective. The Product may be adversely affected by the cost of rolling
positions forward as the futures contracts approach expiry. An extremely high
degree of leverage is typical of a futures trading account. As a result, a
relatively small price movement in an futures contracts may result in a
proportionally high impact and substantial losses to the Product.
- The Product tracks the inverse (-1x) Daily performance of the Index. Should
the value of the underlying securities of the Index increase, it could have a
negative effect on the performance of the Product. Unitholders could, in certain
circumstances including a bull market, face minimal or no returns, or may even
suffer a complete loss, on such investments.
- There is no assurance that the Product can rebalance its portfolio on a Daily
basis to achieve its investment objective. Market disruption, regulatory
restrictions or extreme market volatility may adversely affect the Product's
ability to rebalance its portfolio.
- The Product is exposed to liquidity risk linked to Futures contracts.
Moreover, the rebalancing activities of the Product typically take place at or
around the close of trading on the NASDAQ to minimise tracking difference. As a
result, the Product may be more exposed to the market conditions during a
shorter interval and may be more subject to liquidity risk.
- The Product is normally rebalanced at or around the close of trading on the
NASDAQ. As such, return for investors that invest for period less than a full
trading day will generally be greater than or less than the inverse investment
exposure to the Index, depending upon the movement of the Index from the end of
one trading day until the time of purchase.
- Daily rebalancing of Product's holdings causes a higher level of portfolio
transactions than compared to the conventional exchange traded funds. High
levels of transactions increase brokerage and other transaction costs.
- The Product is subject to concentration risks as a result of tracking the
inverse performance of companies from the technology sector and its
concentration in the US market which may be more volatile than other markets.
The value of the Product may be more volatile than that of a broadly-based fund.
- The Product may be subject to tracking error risk. Tracking error may result
from the investment strategy used, high portfolio turnover, liquidity of the
market and fees and expenses and the correlation between the performance of the
Product and the inverse (-1x) Daily performance of the Index may be reduced.
There can be no assurance of exact or identical replication of the inverse
performance of the Index at any time, including on an intra-day basis.
- Distributions (if any) will be made in USD. If you has no USD account, you may
have to bear the fees and charges associated with the conversion of such
dividend from USD to HKD or any other currency.
- The Product is passively managed and the Manager will not have the discretion
to adapt to market change due to the inherent investment nature of the Product.
When the Index moves in an unfavourable direction (i.e. if it increases), the
Product will decrease in value.
- The daily price limit for the NASDAQ (which is triggered when the price of the
S&P 500 Index drops 20% in a day) and the daily price limit for the futures
contracts are different. As such, should the Index's daily price movement be
greater than the price limit of the Futures contracts, the Product may not be
able to achieve its investment objective as the Futures contracts are unable to
deliver a return beyond their price limit.
- As the CME may be open when Units in the Product are not priced, the value of
the Futures contracts in the Product's portfolio, or the value of constituents
in the Index to which such futures contracts are linked, may change on days when
investors will not be able to purchase or sell the Product's Units. Differences
in trading hours between the CME and the SEHK may increase the level of
premium/discount of the Unit price to its NAV. The NASDAQ and the CME have
different trading hours. Trading of the Index constituents closes earlier than
trading of the Futures contracts, so there may continue to be price movements
for the Futures contracts when Index constituents are not trading.
- 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.
Important Information about ChinaAMC CSI 300 Index Daily (2x) Leveraged
Product
ChinaAMC CSI 300 Index Daily (2x) Leveraged Product (the "Product") is to provide
daily investment results, before fees and expenses, which closely correspond to
twice (2x) the Daily performance of the CSI 300 Index (the "Index"). It is more
volatile than conventional exchange traded funds. The Product is not intended for
holding longer than one day as the performance of the Product over a longer period
may deviate from and be uncorrelated to the leveraged performance of the Index over
the period. The Product is designed to be used for short term trading or hedging
purposes, and is not intended for long term investment. This Product is a derivative
product which only targets sophisticated trading-oriented investors who understand
the potential consequences of seeking daily leveraged results and the associated
risks and constantly monitor the performance of their holdings on a daily basis.
- The Product is a derivative product and is not suitable for all investors. There
is no guarantee of the repayment of principal. Your investment may suffer
substantial or total losses.
- The Product is not intended for holding longer than one day as the performance
of the Product over a period longer than one day will very likely differ in
amount and possibly direction from the leveraged performance of the Index over
that same period. The effect of compounding becomes more pronounced on the
Product's performance as the Index experiences volatility. It is even possible
that the Product will lose money over time while the Index's performance
increases or is flat.
- The Product seeks to obtain the required exposure through swaps with different
swap counterparties. The Product is exposed to counterparty risk, settlement
risk and default risk of the swap counterparties, market risk, price movements,
risks of increased swap fees and early termination of the swaps.
- Derivative instruments are subject to valuation risk and liquidity risk and
are susceptible to price fluctuations and higher volatility. The Product may
suffer losses potentially equal to the full value of the derivatives.
- Swap counterparties may have daily capacity limits. When the limits are
reached, the Product's ability to adjust the size of swaps for sufficient
exposure to achieve its investment objective may be adversely affected.
- The Product will use leverage to achieve a Daily return equivalent to twice
(2x) of the daily return of the Index. Should the value of the underlying
securities of the Index decrease, it could have a magnified negative effect on
the performance of the Product.
- There is no assurance that the Product can rebalance its portfolio on a Daily
basis to achieve its investment objective. Market disruption, regulatory
restrictions or extreme market volatility may adversely affect the Product's
ability to rebalance its portfolio.
- The rebalancing activities of the Product typically take place at or around
the end of a trading day. The Product may be more exposed to the market
conditions during a shorter interval and may be more subject to liquidity risk.
- Returns for investment for a period of less than a full trading day will
generally be greater than or less than two times (2x) the leveraged investment
exposure to the Index. If there is a significant intraday market event and/or
significant decrease of Index securities, swap fees may be increased and the
Product's performance may be adversely affected.
- Underlying investments of the Product may be denominated in currencies other
than the base currency of the Product. The NAV of the Product may be affected
unfavourably by fluctuations in the exchange rates and by changes in exchange
rate controls.
- The Product's investments are concentrated in a specific geographical location
(i.e. the PRC). The value of the Product may be more volatile than that of a
fund having a more diverse portfolio of investments.
- As of result of concentration on an emerging market, investments of the
Product may involve increased risks and special considerations not typically
associated with an investment in more developed markets, such as liquidity
risks, currency risks/control, political and economic uncertainties, legal and
taxation risks, settlement risks, custody risk, likelihood of a high degree of
volatility and regulatory policies and controls.
- Investment in debt instruments involves interest rate risk, issuer credit
risk, sovereign debt risk, credit rating risk and credit/downgrading risk.
- Investment in other funds involves additional costs. There can also be no
assurance that an underlying fund's investment strategy will be successful or
that its investment objective will be achieved.
- There are risks and uncertainties associated with the current PRC tax laws,
regulations and practice (which may have retrospective effect). There is a risk
that taxes may be levied in future and charged to swap counterparties, which may
in turn be charged to the Product and potentially cause substantial loss to the
Product.
- The Product is passively managed and the Manager will not have the discretion
to adapt to market change due to the inherent investment nature of the Product.
Falls in the Index are expected to result in falls in the value of the Product.
- 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.
- The Product may be subject to tracking error risk, which may result from the
investment strategy used, costs related to the use of Swaps, liquidity of the
market and fees and expenses, and the correlation between the performance of the
Product and the twice (2x) Daily performance of the Index may be reduced. There
can be no assurance of exact or identical replication of the leveraged
performance of the Index at any time.
