functions and (iv) such other services as are agreed in the Depositary Agreement. Its appointment may
be terminated under the circumstances set out in the Luxembourg Prospectus (including any events of
insolvency). The Depositary is regulated by the CSSF.
Pursuant to the provisions of Article 34bis of the Law of 2010 and of the Depositary Agreement, the
Depositary may, subject to certain conditions and in order to effectively conduct its duties, delegate part or
all of its safekeeping duties over the Fund’s assets set out in Article 34(3) of the Law of 2010, to one or more
third-party delegates appointed by the Depositary from time to time.
The Depositary, in its role as depositary of the Fund, provides access to securities markets throughout the
world through the appointment of sub-custodians (also referred to as delegates). Such appointments are
necessitated, in some cases, due to local regulatory, tax, legal and/or operational requirements. Together
with its subsidiaries and affiliates, the Depositary maintains a sub-custodian appointment and monitoring
program in line with the requirements for delegation under Directive 2009/65/EC (UCITS V). The evaluation
of potential sub-custodians includes an assessment of various factors, including reputation and standing,
creditworthiness and financial health, controls and procedures, service level capabilities and business
continuity preparedness. The sub-custodians will be licensed and regulated in the relevant jurisdictions.
Details on the Depositary are set out under “Administration Details, Charges and Expenses”, Part IV of the
Luxembourg Prospectus.
4.3 Auditor
The Management Company and the Fund have appointed FIL Limited to provide services in relation to the

Cash Sub-Funds
Investor profile
The aim of the Cash Sub-Funds is to provide investors with a return in line with money market rates. Cash
Sub-Funds would mainly suit investors for whom capital security and liquidity are primary considerations,
recognising that the Net Asset Value of the Sub-Funds is not guaranteed, that Shares of the Sub-Funds are
not bank deposits and there is no assurance that any appreciation in value of Shares will occur (because of
the risk that the principal invested is capable of fluctuation). Investment in a Cash fund can be regarded as
a short, medium or long-term investment.

The aim of the Fidelity Lifestyle Sub-Funds is to provide investors with funds that will be managed using
a lifecycle approach, designed to maximise total investment return. Fidelity Lifestyle Sub-Funds may
be suitable for investors who wish to participate in capital markets while being prepared to accept the
risks described for each Fidelity Lifestyle Sub-Fund under “Risk Factors”, Part I (1.2) of the Luxembourg
Prospectus and should not be selected based solely on the investors age or retirement date. Investment in
a Fidelity Lifestyle Sub-Fund may suit investors’ that are willing to stay invested until the target date of the
relevant Sub-Fund.
Investor profile
Systematic Multi Asset Risk Targeted Sub-Funds aim to provide stable to moderate growth over the long
term by investing in a diversified portfolio of equities, bonds and other assets. They aim to manage the
long term average volatility, under normal market conditions, within a given range. This volatility range is
however not guaranteed. Systematic Multi Asset Risk Targeted Sub-Funds may be suitable for investors who
wish to participate in capital markets while being prepared to accept the risks described for each Systematic
Multi Asset Risk Targeted Sub-Fund under “Risk Factors”, Part I (1.2) of the Luxembourg Prospectus, and
who understand the complexity of the alternative strategies employed by these Sub-Funds. Investment
in a Systematic Multi Asset Risk Targeted Sub-Fund can be regarded as a short, medium or long-term
investment.
133
Fidelity Funds Singapore Prospectus
“Volatility”, as used in the investment objectives of the Systematic Multi Asset Risk Targeted Sub-Funds, is a
measure of the degree to which prices of a security such as a bond, equity or fund vary over a time period.
It is generally deemed as a measure of investment risk with securities exhibiting lower ranges of price
variation over time being generally considered less risky than those with higher ranges of price variation.
134
Fidelity Funds Singapore Prospectus
5.2 Further details of the investment policies of the Sub-Funds (including those subject to disclosure
requirements of article 8 of the SFDR) are set out under “Investment Policies and Objectives”, Part I (1.4)
of the Luxembourg Prospectus.
5.3 Fidelity considers Sustainability Risks across all asset classes and funds, unless otherwise stated.
Sustainability Risks refers to an environmental (E), social (S) or governance (G) (collectively, “ESG”) event,
or condition that, if it occurs, could cause an actual or a potential material negative impact on the value of
the investment. Further details on Fidelity’s approach to Sustainability Risks are set out under “Sustainable
Investing”, Part 1 (1.3) of the Luxembourg Prospectus. If the provisions above draw your attention to the
fact that the Index for the Sub-Fund is not an index that integrates ESG considerations, this is because
the Sub-Fund promotes ESG characteristics by adhering to the Fidelity Sustainable Investing Framework.
The sustainable indices currently available from index providers do not adequately capture the Fidelity
Sustainable Investing Framework considerations.
5.4 Further details of the Investments and investment restrictions applying to each of the Sub-Funds are set out

Please refer to Schedule 1 of this Singapore Prospectus and “Administration Details, Charges and Expenses”,
Part IV of the Luxembourg Prospectus for details on the annual management fee and asset allocation fee
currently applicable to the Sub-Funds (by type of Sub-Fund and by class of Shares).
Other costs, charges and expenses may be charged to the Fund, which are described in “General information
on Charges and Expenses”, Part IV of the Luxembourg Prospectus. Such other costs, charges and expenses
are currently indeterminable as they depend on the investments of each Sub-Fund, are of an extraordinary /
exceptional nature and/or may fluctuate over time. They may, in aggregate, amount to 0.1% or more of the
Net Asset Value of the relevant Sub-Fund.
In so far as a Sub-Fund invests in other UCITS or UCIs which are administered directly or by delegation by
the Management Company or another company to which the Management Company is linked by common
management or control or by a substantial direct or indirect holding or which is managed by a company in
the FIL Group, the Sub-Fund shall not be charged an initial charge or a redemption fee.
The initial charge is shared between the General Distributor, Share Distributors and/or financial
intermediaries or institutions (depending on the arrangement between the parties).
Please note that subscriptions for Shares through any agent or Distributor appointed by the General
Distributor may incur additional fees and charges. You are advised to check with the relevant agent
or Distributor if such additional fees and charges are imposed by the agent or Distributor. The annual
management fee and the initial charge may also be shared with any agent or Distributor.
The Fund or the Management Company may, at its discretion, agree with certain investors on the partial
rebate or waiver of the fees and charges chargeable to the Sub-Funds. This may occur, for example, in the
case of Shareholders who invest large amounts into a Sub-Fund for the long term.
Details of the charges and expenses in respect of the Shares in each Sub-Fund are described under “Classes
of Shares” and “Share Dealing”, Part II (2.1 and 2.2), “Taxation”, Part III (3.3) and “Administration Details,
Charges and Expenses”, Part IV of the Luxembourg Prospectus.

of the assets of the Sub-Funds.
Please note that the charges and expenses which are based on the Net Asset Value of each Sub-Fund or
class of Shares as set out in paragraph 6.2 of this Singapore Prospectus are calculated on the basis of the
Net Asset Value of the Sub-Fund or class of Shares after taking into account any price adjustments (swing
pricing). Please see paragraph 15.2 of this Singapore Prospectus for details on the price adjustment policy

Equity Sub-Funds
139
Fidelity Funds Singapore Prospectus
8.2 The CPF interest rate for the CPF Ordinary Account (“OA”) is computed based on the 3-month average of
major local banks’ interest rates, subject to the legislated minimum interest of 2.5% per annum. The interest
rate for the OA is reviewed quarterly.

To enhance the retirement savings of CPF members, the CPF Board pays extra interest on the first S$60,000

up to 6% on a portion of their CPF balances (depending on their age). Please note that the first S$20,000 in

Interest is also earned on the CPF Retirement Account and CPF members aged 55 and above may earn
additional interest.
You should note that the interest rate for each of the CPF accounts described above (including the floor
interest rate) may be varied by the CPF Board from time to time. You should confirm the latest interest rates

interest of 2.5% per annum applies to all CPF accounts.
Subscriptions using CPF monies will at all times be subject to the regulations and such directives or
requirements imposed by the CPF Board from time to time.
8.3 The following investment guidelines apply to the CPFIS Included Funds:
• Investment guidelines issued by the Authority under Appendix 1 of the Code on Collective

Manager is unable to carry out the remedial measures as may be prescribed by the CPF Board, the Investment
Manager will cease to accept any further purchases for the affected CPFIS Included Fund with immediate
effect and may seek to de-list the CPFIS Included Fund from the CPFIS. The Investment Manager will notify
Shareholders before the eventual delisting of any CPFIS Included Fund.
8.5 If you purchase Shares using your CPF monies, please note that your Shares will be held on trust by HSBC

9. RISK FACTORS
9.1 You should consider and satisfy yourself as to the risks of investing in any of the Sub-Funds. The Board
cannot guarantee that the investment objectives of each Sub-Fund will be achieved. The value of the Shares
in any Sub-Fund and the income from them can fall as well as rise. They are not guaranteed and you may
not realise the capital value of your original investment.
You should refer to the “Risk Factors”, Part I (1.2) of the Luxembourg Prospectus for the general and
specific risk factors applicable to the Sub-Funds. Please note that the risk factors described are not a
complete explanation of the risks involved in investing in the Shares and you should consult with
your legal, tax and financial advisors before deciding to invest in the Fund.
An investment in the Shares of any Sub-Fund may entail foreign currency risk. Some or all of
a Sub-Fund’s assets may be denominated in currencies other than the base currency of the Sub-Fund. Also,
a class of Shares may be designated in a currency other than the base currency of a Sub-Fund. Fluctuations
in the exchange rates between these currencies and the base currency as well as changes in exchange rate
controls may adversely affect the Fund’s Net Asset Value. Depending on the Share class, your investment
may entail foreign currency risk arising from the Shares being denominated in a currency other than the
Singapore Dollar. A Sub-Fund may, or may not, hedge these risks using foreign exchange contracts and the
associated risks are explained in the section on “Derivatives/Counterparty Related Risk”, Part I (1.2)(VI)) of
the Luxembourg Prospectus.
You should also refer to “Foreign Currency Risk” and “Hedged Share Classes”, Part I (1.2(II)) of the
Luxembourg Prospectus for further details. The Board has made currency hedged Share classes available
for some Sub-Funds. These Share classes utilise forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge undesired
currency risk. Details can be found in “Classes of Shares”, Part II (2.1) of the Luxembourg Prospectus.
Investments in or related to China carry specific risks (such as risks relating to Chinese Renminbi currency
and conversion risks, China assets, the Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (QFII), the Stock Connect,
the Small and Medium Enterprise (“SME”) board, ChiNext market and/or the Science and Technology
Innovation Board (“STAR board”), mainland China tax risk, volatility and liquidity risk associated with
mainland China debt securities, the China Interbank Bond Market (“CIBM”), credit rating agency, dim sum
bond market and urban investment bonds). Details can be found in “Specific Instrument Related Risks”,
Part I (1.2(V)) of the Luxembourg Prospectus.

on a Business Day will be dealt with on the same Business Day at the next calculated Net Asset Value of
the relevant Sub-Fund plus an initial charge (as described in paragraph 6 of this Singapore Prospectus).
Instructions received after such time will be executed the next Business Day in accordance with the Net
Asset Value calculated on such day.
The number of Shares to be allotted is determined by subtracting the initial charge from the gross investment
amount and dividing the result by the applicable Net Asset Value per Share. The following is a hypothetical
illustration of the number of Shares allotted for an investment amount of USD1,000 at a notional Net Asset
Value per Share of USD1.00 and assuming an initial charge amount of USD50:
Please note that the actual issue price will vary in line with the Net Asset Value per Share of the relevant class,
the method of computing the initial charge and the rate of initial charge applied may differ for different classes as
described in paragraph 6 of this Singapore Prospectus. The above example is for illustrative purposes only and is not
a forecast or indication of any expectation of performance.
Contract notes will normally be issued to Shareholders within 24 hours of the allocation of Shares.
Currently, the Fund does not offer a regular investment plan to Singapore investors. However, distributors
may, at their own discretion, offer regular investment plans. Information on such regular investment plans,
such as the minimum amount of periodic contributions and the timing for deduction of monies from an
investor’s account and allotment of Shares, may be obtained from the relevant distributor.
You may at any time cease your participation in the regular investment plan (if any) in respect of
a Sub-Fund, without suffering any penalty, by giving written notice of not less than a specified period to the
relevant distributor. Information on the minimum notice period, which may not be longer than the period
between your periodic contributions, may be obtained from the relevant distributor.

Written instructions to redeem registered Shares should be addressed to the Singapore Representative or
to the Management Company. Redemption instructions may also be given by fax. The instructions must
contain full details of registration, the name of the Sub-Fund(s), settlement currency, the number or value
of Shares to be redeemed and bank details.
Although there is no minimum redemption amount imposed by the Fund, each distributor may have
its own minimum redemption requirements and you should check with the distributor from whom you
purchased your Shares for details.
If you partially redeem your Shares and this results in a residual shareholding that is less than the minimum
initial investment amount stated in paragraph 10.2 of this Singapore Prospectus, the Fund reserves the right
to compulsorily redeem your residual shareholding.
Under normal circumstances, instructions received by the dealing cut-off time on a Business Day will be
dealt with on the same Business Day at the next calculated Net Asset Value of the relevant Sub-Fund and
deducting a redemption fee (if any, as described in paragraph 6 of this Singapore Prospectus). Instructions
received after such time will be executed on the next Business Day in accordance with the Net Asset Value
calculated on such day.
The net redemption proceeds based on a redemption of 1,000 Shares at a notional redemption price of
USD0.95 and no redemption fee is calculated as follows:
Please note that the actual redemption price will vary in line with the Net Asset Value per Share of the relevant class
and the redemption fee may differ for different classes as described in paragraph 6 of this Singapore Prospectus. The
above example is for illustrative purposes only and is not a forecast or indication of any expectation of performance.
Contract notes will normally be issued within 24 hours of the price being determined. Settlement will
normally be made by electronic bank transfer. The Management Company will aim to make settlement
payments within three Business Days (and not exceeding five Business Days) after receipt of written
instructions. Exceptions currently apply in relation to the Sub-Funds listed below.
Sub-Funds for which settlement will normally be made within five Business Days
Fidelity Funds – Asian High Yield Fund
Fidelity Funds – India Focus Fund
If in exceptional circumstances it is not possible to make the payment within the relevant period, then
payment will be made as soon as reasonably practicable but without interest. In addition, different settlement
periods may apply if settlement is made via local correspondent banks, paying agents or other agents.
145
Fidelity Funds Singapore Prospectus
Settlement amounts may be subject to bank charges levied by the Shareholder’s own (or a correspondent)
bank. Payment will be made in one of the principal dealing currencies of the relevant class of Share or may
also be made in one of the major freely convertible currencies if requested by the Shareholder(s) at the time
of instruction. Normally, the Management Company and/or the relevant Distributor do not accept from, or
make payments to, persons other than the registered Shareholder or any of the joint Shareholders.
Details of the redemption of Shares are set out under “How to Sell Shares”, Part II (2.2.2) of the Luxembourg
Prospectus.
You may switch some or all of your Shares in one Sub-Fund or class of Shares into another Sub-Fund or
class of Shares if you satisfy the applicable minimum investment requirements for the existing and new
Sub-Funds or class of Shares, as described in “Classes of Shares”, Part II (2.1) of the Luxembourg Prospectus
(including the minimum amounts set out in paragraph 10.2 of the Singapore Prospectus). Please note that
applications for switching may be rejected to avoid market timing as described at paragraph 24.6 of this
Singapore Prospectus.
Please note that the Shares subscribed in Singapore may only be switched into the classes of the Sub-Funds
offered pursuant to this Singapore Prospectus. Furthermore, investors of:
• Class A Shares may switch into the Shares of any other class (save for Class RY Shares) of the same/
another Sub-Fund;
• Class I, Class S and Class Y Shares may only switch into the Class I, Class S and Class Y Shares
respectively of another Sub-Fund;
• Class SR Shares may only switch into the Class SR Shares of the same/another Sub-Fund; and
• Class RY Shares are not permitted to switch their Shares.
Instructions to switch Shares should be addressed to the Singapore Representative or the Management
Company. Switch instructions may also be given by fax. The instructions must contain full account details
and the number or value of Shares to be switched between named Sub-Funds.
Under normal circumstances, switching instructions received by the dealing cut-off time on a Business day
will be dealt with on the same Business Day at the next calculated Net Asset Value for each of the relevant
Sub-Funds and deducting a switching charge (if any, as described in paragraph 6 of this Singapore Prospectus).
Details on the switching of Shares are set out under “How to Switch”, Part II (2.2.3) of the Luxembourg
Prospectus.
In order to comply with relevant regulations aimed at the prevention of money laundering and the countering
of terrorist financing, the Singapore Representative, the Fund or the Management Company will require
detailed verification of identity including but not limited to a national identification number, date of birth,
residential address and occupation/business from all investors in relation to any dealings in Shares. Sight
of original documents or true certified copies may be required and this applies to each sole/joint investor.
The request for information may be made at the time of the application for Shares and/or subsequently, for
the periodic updating of records. Additional information (including the source of the funds and identity
of any beneficial owners) may be required to support the verification of information and completion of
adequate due diligence. If you delay or fail to produce any information required for verification purposes,
your dealing request may be rejected. In such event, subscription monies will be returned without interest
to the account from which the monies were originally debited, and in relation to a redemption, no Shares
will be redeemed or monies paid to you.
Existing Shareholders with an account but who has not had any investments in the Sub-Fund in the account
and transacted in the account for at least six months may be required to provide updated information
related to verification of identity before any additional transactions may be undertaken.
146
Fidelity Funds Singapore Prospectus
The last available Net Asset Value of the Shares for each Business Day will be published on Bloomberg,
www.fundinfo.com and may also be posted on the Singapore Representative’s website at www.fidelity.com.sg.
See “How to Buy Shares”, Part II (2.2.1) of the Luxembourg Prospectus for details. The Net Asset Value will
be published in the class’s currency of denomination and, at the discretion of the Singapore Representative, in
Singapore Dollars (at the applicable exchange rate). The latter is indicative only and may vary due to exchange
rate fluctuations.
The provisions relating to the method of computation of the Net Asset Value of a Sub-Fund/Class and the
valuation rules are set out under “Calculation of the Net Asset Value”, Part II (2.3) of the Luxembourg
Prospectus.
Large transactions in or out of a Sub-Fund can create “dilution” of a Sub-Fund’s assets because the price
at which an investor buys or sells Shares in a Sub-Fund may not entirely reflect the dealing and other
costs that arise when the portfolio manager has to trade in securities to accommodate large cash inflows or
outflows. In order to counter this and enhance the protection of existing Shareholders, the Board and/or the
Management Company has adopted a swing pricing policy to counter the impact of dealing and other costs
on occasions when these are deemed to be significant, and allow price adjustments as part of the regular
daily valuation process. The policy is reviewed on an annual basis.
If on any dealing day the aggregate net transactions in Shares of any of the Sub-Funds exceed a threshold set
by the Board from time to time for each Sub-Fund, the asset value may be adjusted upwards or downwards
as applicable to reflect the costs (the “Costs”) that may be deemed to be incurred in liquidating or
purchasing investments to satisfy net daily transactions at Sub-Fund level. These Costs may include but are
not limited to spreads, brokerage fees, transaction tax, commission and transaction costs. The threshold is
set by the Board and or the Management Company taking into account factors such as the prevailing market
conditions, the estimated dilution Costs and the size of the Sub-Funds, the application of which will be
triggered mechanically and on a consistent basis. The adjustment will be upwards when the net aggregate
transactions result in net subscriptions flows. The adjustment will be downwards when the net aggregate
transactions result in net redemption flows. The adjusted asset value will be applicable to all transactions
on that day.
Some of the Sub-Funds are currently co-managed, the aggregated groups of assets are referred to as a
‘pool’. Individual Sub-Funds may have their assets invested via one or more pools. For the purposes
of operating a price adjustment policy, the Board may decide that a threshold for adjusting prices be
established at pool level.
The price adjustment, based on both normal net dealings and market volatility, will not exceed
2% of the original Net Asset Value. The actual level of adjustment will be set periodically by a
dedicated committee, to which the Board has delegated specific powers. However, whilst the price
adjustment is normally not expected to exceed 2%, the Board and/or the Management Company
may decide to increase this adjustment limit in exceptional circumstances (such as high net dealings
or high market volatility) to protect Shareholders’ interests. As any such price adjustment will be
dependent on aggregate net transactions in Shares, it is not possible to accurately predict whether
it will occur at any future point in time and consequently how frequently it will need to be made.
Shareholders will be notified of such a decision to increase this adjustment limit via notice on www.
fidelityinternational.com.
16. SUSPENSION OF THE CALCULATION OF THE NET ASSET VALUE AND ISSUE, ALLOCATION,
CONVERSION, REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASE OF SHARES
The Board or the Management Company may, in consultation with the Depositary and having regard to
the best interest of the Shareholders, suspend the determination of the Net Asset Value of Shares of any
147
Fidelity Funds Singapore Prospectus
Sub-Fund, the issue of such Shares, the switching of such Shares and the redemption of such Shares in the
circumstances described in “Temporary Suspension of Determination of Net Asset Value and of the Issue,
Switching and Redemption of Shares”, Part II (2.6) of the Luxembourg Prospectus.
The Board and/or the Management Company may decide to partially or totally close a Sub-Fund or Share
class to all buys, subscription or switches in from new investors. There will be no closure to redemptions or
switches out unless suspended as stated in paragraph 16 of this Singapore Prospectus.
Such events will be indicated on the website www.fidelityinternational.com and the Singapore Representative’s
website. Shareholders and potential investors should confirm with the Management Company or the
Distributors or check the websites for the current status of the Sub-Funds or class of Shares. Once closed,
a Sub-Fund or a class of Shares will not be re-opened until, in the opinion of the Board, the circumstances
which required closure no longer apply.
Please see the “PERFORMANCE OF THE SUB-FUNDS OF FIDELITY FUNDS” distributed with this
Singapore Prospectus for the Sub-Funds’ performance. This is issued by the Singapore Representative.
The Investment Manager, any of its delegates and/or any of their Connected Persons may effect transactions
by or through the agency of another person with whom the Investment Manager, any of its delegates and/or
any of their Connected Persons have an arrangement under which that party will from time to time provide
to or procure for the Investment Manager, any of its delegates and/or any of their Connected Persons goods,
services or other benefits (such as research and advisory services, where permitted by regulation only)
(“soft dollar arrangements”), the nature of which is such that their provision can reasonably be expected
to benefit the Fund as a whole and may contribute to an improvement in the Fund’s performance and that
of the Investment Manager or any of its delegates in providing services to the Fund and for which no direct
payment is made but instead the Investment Manager, any of its delegates and/or any of their Connected
Persons undertake to place business with that party. For the avoidance of doubt, such goods and services do
not include travel, accommodation, entertainment, general administrative goods or services, general office
equipment or premises, membership fees, employee salaries or direct money payments. Periodic disclosure
is made in the annual report of the Fund in the form of a statement describing the soft dollar policy and
practices of the Investment Manager or its delegates, including a description of goods and services received
by them and/or any of their Connected Persons.
The Investment Manager, any of its delegates and/or any of their Connected Persons shall not retain the
benefit of any cash commission rebate (being cash commission repayment made by a broker or dealer to
the Investment Manager, any of its delegates and/or any of their Connected Persons) paid or payable from
any such broker or dealer in respect of any business placed with such broker or dealer by the Investment
Manager, any delegates and/or any of their Connected Persons for or on behalf of the Fund. Any such cash
commission rebate received from any such broker or dealer shall be held by the Investment Manager, any
of its delegates and/or any of their Connected Persons for the account of the Fund. Brokerage rates will not
be excessive of customary brokerage rates. All transactions will be done with best execution. The availability
of soft dollar arrangements may not be the sole or primary purpose to perform or arrange transaction with
such broker or dealer.
Except as described in this Singapore Prospectus and/or the Luxembourg Prospectus, no commissions,
discounts, brokerage or other special terms have been granted by the Fund or the Management Company in
relation to Shares issued or to be issued by the Fund; on any issue or sale of Shares a Distributor (including
the General Distributor) may, out of its own funds or out of the initial charges, if any, pay commissions
or other fees and charges on applications received through brokers and other professional agents or grant
discounts.
148
Fidelity Funds Singapore Prospectus
The Fund, together with other funds advised or managed by the Investment Manager, may place orders for
the purchase or sale of securities with affiliates of the Investment Manager and other Connected Persons,
provided that, among other conditions, they can reasonably be expected to execute the transaction on terms
as favourable as could be expected to be obtained from other brokers, qualified to execute the transaction
and at commission rates comparable to those which would have been charged by such other brokers.
Orders are allocated on a pro-rata basis between different Sub-Funds investing in the same assets when
there is insufficient supply.
Subject to the receipt of best execution, the Fund may take into account the sale of Shares by brokers and
dealers when selecting them for the execution of transactions.
Foreign exchange transactions for investors of the Fund may be effected on an arm’s length basis by or
through FIL Group companies from which a benefit may be derived by such companies.
The Investment Manager may also provide investment management and advisory services to other FIL
Group mutual funds and unit trusts, institutional and private investors.
The Investment Manager may receive investment advice from, and act upon the advice of, any Connected
Person of the Investment Manager or any other third party adviser. Moreover, the Investment Manager may
sub-delegate investment management activities to any Connected Person of the Investment Manager or any
other eligible entity under applicable regulation. The Investment Manager shall remain responsible for the
proper performance by such entity of those responsibilities.
Further details, including conflicts of interest relating to the Depositary, are set out in the Luxembourg
Prospectus, in particular, under “Administration Details, Charges and Expenses”, Part IV.
21. REPORTS
The Fund’s financial year ends on 30 April each year. The Fund’s annual report incorporating financial
statements is published within four months after the end of the financial year and at least two weeks
before the annual general meeting of Shareholders. The Fund publishes a semi-annual unaudited financial
report, containing a list of each Sub-Fund’s holdings and their market values, within two months of the
date to which it is made up. Details on the Fund’s annual report (incorporating the financial statements)
and the unaudited semi-annual financial report are set out under “Meetings, Reports and Shareholder
Communication”, Part III (3.2) of the Luxembourg Prospectus.
Copies of all reports are available at the office of the Singapore Representative during normal Singapore
business hours.
Investors should be aware that the taxation of distributions by the Fund and gains on redemption or
divestment of the Shares derived by an investor will depend on the particular situation of the investor.
Investors who are in doubt of their tax position should consult their own independent tax advisers
concerning the tax consequences of their particular situation.
You may contact the Singapore Representative at 65-6511-2200 if you have any queries or complaints
regarding Fidelity Funds or any Sub-Fund.
All Sub-Funds may use various financial derivative instruments to reduce risks or costs or to generate
additional capital or income in order to meet their investment objectives. Financial derivative instruments
may be used for investment purposes and/or to implement more complex strategies as further described
in their respective investment objectives, depending on the circumstances and the purposes for which the
derivatives are used. Entering into financial derivatives instruments for investment purposes may, to some
extent, impact the risk profile of a Sub-Fund.
149
Fidelity Funds Singapore Prospectus
While the judicious use of derivative instruments by experienced investment advisers such as the Investment
Manager can be beneficial, derivative instruments also involve risks different from, and, in certain cases,
greater than, the risks associated with more traditional investments. Please refer to “Derivatives/Counterparty
Related Risks”, Part I (1.2(VI)) of the Luxembourg Prospectus for the risks relating to the use of financial
derivative instruments (which include risks relating to valuation, liquidity, basis, leverage, counterparty
credit, settlement, legal, short positions, high leverage, and active currency positions). In that section, you
will also find disclosures on risks that are specific to certain types of derivative instruments (like credit
default swaps, foreign exchange forward contracts, forward contracts and contracts for difference, futures,
inflation swaps, interest rate swaps, put/call options and warrants, swaptions and total return swaps).
Please also refer to “Total Return Swaps and other Financial Derivative instruments with similar characteristics”,
Part V (5.1(G)) of the Luxembourg Prospectus for information on the use of Total Returns Swaps or other
Financial Derivative Instruments with similar characteristics by the Sub-Funds.
The Management Company will ensure that the risk management and compliance procedures are adequate
and has been or will be implemented, and that it has the necessary expertise to manage the risk relating to
the use of financial derivative instruments. You may obtain supplementary information relating to the risk
management methods employed by the Fund or the Management Company including the quantitative limits
that are applied and any recent developments in the risk and yield characteristics of the main categories
of investments from the Management Company or the Singapore Representative. Further information
on the risk management procedures is set out in “Risk Management Procedures”, Part V (5.1(C)) of the
Luxembourg Prospectus.
Unless otherwise specified in the Notes column of the table in paragraph 5.1 of this Singapore Prospectus
under the title “Global Exposure”, the method used to calculate the global exposure relating to financial
derivative instruments for each Sub-Fund is the commitment approach (please refer to “Global Exposure
relating to Derivative Instruments and Leverage”, Part V (5.1(D)) of the Luxembourg Prospectus for further
details). For the Sub-Funds using the absolute VaR approach, the VaR limits were selected as they were
appropriate taking into consideration the investment objective, investment strategy and key risk factors of
the relevant Sub-Fund. For Sub-Funds which global exposure is monitored using the VaR methodology,
leverage is determined using the sum of the notionals (expressed as a sum of positive values) of all financial
derivatives instruments used. Shareholders should be aware that (i) a higher level of expected leverage does
not automatically infer a higher level of investment risk; and (ii) the expected level of leverage may include
leverage generated by the use of derivatives for hedging purposes.
Further information on the management of collateral is set out in “Management of collateral for Securities
Lending, Repurchase and OTC Financial Derivative Transactions”, Part V (5.1(F)). of the Luxembourg
Prospectus.
The Investment Manager may for the purpose of efficient portfolio management, (a) enter, either as
purchaser or seller, into repurchase transactions (opérations à réméré) and reverse repurchase and
repurchase agreements transactions (operations de prise/mise en pension) and (b) engage in securities
lending transactions.
You should refer to “Risks relating to Securities Lending” and “Risks relating to Repurchase and Reverse
Repurchase Transactions”, Part I (1.2(VII)) of the Luxembourg Prospectus for information on the risks
relating to securities lending and repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions, and “Securities Lending
and Borrowing and Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Transactions” and “Management of collateral for
Securities Lending, Repurchase and OTC Financial Derivative Transactions”, Part V (5.1(E) and (F)) of the
Luxembourg Prospectus for information on the types, purpose, limits and conditions of such transactions,
the management of collateral, and the allocation of revenue generated.
As of 1 October 2021, the Fund does not intend to lend the securities of its Sub-Funds to its related
corporations.
150
Fidelity Funds Singapore Prospectus
The Fund has appointed Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., a New York limited partnership with an office
in Boston, Massachusetts and Citibank N.A., London Branch (both a “Lending Agent”) to carry out the
securities lending transactions and the management of the collateral. Neither Lending Agent is an affiliate
of the Investment Manager.
With regards to the securities lending transactions, 87.5% of the gross revenue arising from such transactions
are returned to the Sub-Funds, while a 12.5% fee is paid to the Lending Agent (which is not an affiliate of
the Investment Manager). Any operational costs (whether direct or indirect) borne by the Lending Agent
from such securities lending activities are covered out of its fee. Further details on the actual return are
published in the Fund’s annual reports and accounts.
As of 1 October 2021, the below list of Sub-Funds may invest in commodity exchange-traded funds,
exchange-traded commodities, or commodity-linked financial derivative instruments where the underlying
may be a commodity or commodity index. Commodity sectors where exposures may be achieved
include but are not limited to precious metals, base metals, energy, agriculture and livestock. Individual
commodities within a specific commodity sector may be highly correlated with each other and correlation
may be determined based on the price trends and historical returns of these individual commodities.

24.4 Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act and OECD Common Reporting Standard
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
Common Reporting Standard may result in the Fund having to obtain mandatory information on investors
and to make disclosures of such information to regulators. You should refer to “Foreign Account Tax
Compliance Act (“FATCA”)” and “OECD Common Reporting Standard (“CRS”)”, Part III (3.3) and “Risk
associated with Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”)”, Part I (1.2(II)) of the Luxembourg
Prospectus for further information. You should consult your own tax advisers regarding any potential
obligations that may be imposed on you.
24.5 Liquidation
In the event that for any reason the aggregate value of the Shares of a given Sub-Fund or class of Shares is
below USD 50,000,000 (or its equivalent) or if a change in the economic or political situation relating to the
Sub-Fund or the class of Shares concerned or if the interests of the Shareholders would justify it, the Board
may decide to liquidate the Sub-Fund or class of Shares concerned. Please refer to “Liquidation of Fidelity
Funds, Funds and Classes of Shares”, Part III (3.5) of the Luxembourg Prospectus for details.
You should read the Luxembourg Prospectus for further disclosures and terms relating to the Fund, Sub-
Funds and the Shares, including (without limitation) market timing and excessive trading practices, co-
management of assets, and data protection.

1
Investors should note that the past performance of any of the Sub-Funds/Share class is not necessarily
indicative of the future performance of the Sub-Fund/Share class.
2
As the Sub-Fund/Share class is newly established, a track record of at least one year is not available.
3
For periods longer than 1 year, the performance numbers are calculated based on the average annual
compounded return of the Sub-Fund/Share class.
4
There is no benchmark for this Sub-Fund/Share class. Please refer to the section on “Information on
Benchmark Changes for Certain Sub-Funds” for further details.
5
The Sub-Fund/Share class has not been launched as at date of the performance reporting (ie. 31 August
2021).
6
The benchmark for the Sub-Fund will change as the Sub-Fund, in line with the Sub-Fund’s investment
objective, reaches its maturity date.
7
The performance figures shown above are a blend of the current and historical benchmark figures.
8
The Sub-Fund/Share class has not been launched as at date of the performance reporting (ie. 31 January
2022).
Note:
(a) Performance numbers are calculated on a single pricing (NAV to NAV) basis and with net dividends
re-invested.
(b) Performance figures are calculated based on the Net Asset Value of the Sub-Fund after taking into account
any pricing adjustments (swing pricing). This may increase the variability of a Sub-Fund’s returns, as the
level of subscription/redemption activity may result in the application of pricing adjustments which would
affect the value of the Sub-Fund in addition to changes in the value of the underlying investments of the
Sub-Fund. Please see paragraph 15.2 of the Singapore Prospectus for details on the price adjustment policy
(swing pricing) of the Fund.
(c) Performance numbers are calculated with reference to the currency of denomination of the relevant share
classes.
(d) Performance numbers for each share class of the sub-fund in this Annexure take into account the relevant
sales charge, if applicable.

B. Total Expense Ratios and Turnover Ratios

Notes to Total Expense Ratios (“TERs”) & Portfolio Turnover Ratios (“PTRs”)
Some of the Share classes’ TERs may fluctuate significantly over the periods disclosed due to the minimal level of
assets within each Sub-Fund’s Share class as well as required adjustments which are immaterial in absolute terms.
The charging structures for the various classes of Shares differ, therefore, resulting in different TERs across the
classes of each Sub-Fund.
1
The following expenses are excluded from the calculation of the TER :
(a) brokerage and other transaction costs associated with the purchase and sale of investments (such as register
charges and remittance fees);
(b) interest expenses;
(c) foreign exchange gains and losses of the Sub-Fund, whether realised or unrealised;
(d) front-end loads, back-end loads and other costs arising on the purchase or sale of a foreign unit trust or
mutual fund;
(e)
tax deducted at source or arising from income received, including withholding tax (but the Tax
D’Abonnement, a Luxembourg regulatory tax is included within the calculation of the TERs);
(f) dividends and other distributions paid to shareholders; and
(g) performance fees
2
The TERs, disclosed at Share class level, have not been audited by the Fund’s external auditors as
Luxembourg laws and regulations do not require such data to be audited by the Fund’s external auditors.
The TERs have been calculated by Fidelity, in accordance with the latest guidelines issued by the Investment
Management Association of Singapore (IMAS).
3
The turnover ratios are calculated based on the lesser of purchases or sales of underlying investments of a
Sub-Fund expressed as a percentage over daily average net asset value.
4
The total expense ratios for the Share classes that have been incepted for less than a year as at 30 April 2021 are
calculated from their respective inception date and annualised. Please refer to table A. “Past Performance of the
Sub-Funds” above for the relevant inception dates.
5
“NA” means that the expense ratio or turnover ratio (as the case may be) for the Sub-Fund or Share class is not
available as the Sub-Fund or Share class has not been launched as at 30 April 2021.

Information on Benchmark Changes for Certain Sub-Funds
Equity Sub-Funds
The benchmark was changed from the Standard and Poor’s 500 Total Return Gross Index to Standard
and Poor’s 500 Total Return Net Index in March 2011. The index performance shown had been adjusted
using the Standard and Poor’s 500 Total Return Net Index from 31 December 1998, the date when such
index was first introduced. The reason for the change is that the Standard and Poor’s 500 Total Net Return
Index calculates performance net of withholding tax, which is more comparable with the calculation of the
performance of the Sub-Fund which is also net of withholding tax.
The benchmark was changed from the Standard and Poor’s 500 Total Return Gross Index to Standard
and Poor’s 500 Total Return Net Index in March 2011. The index performance shown had been adjusted
using the Standard and Poor’s 500 Total Return Net Index from 31 December 1998, the date when such
index was first introduced. The reason for the change is that the Standard and Poor’s 500 Total Return Net
Index calculates performance net of withholding tax, which is more comparable with the calculation of the
performance of the Sub-Fund which is also net of withholding tax.
The benchmark was changed from the MSCI ASEAN Custom (Gross) Index to the MSCI AC ASEAN Index
in July 2011. The index performance shown had been adjusted using the MSCI AC South East Asia (Net)
from 1 June 2007, the date when the Gross Index was first introduced into the benchmark. The name
change does not reflect a change in the underlying constituents of the benchmark. The reason for the
change is that a net index calculates performance net of withholding taxes which is more comparable with
the calculation of the performance of the Sub-Fund, which is also net of withholding taxes.
The benchmark was changed from the MSCI AC Far East ex-Japan (Net) Index to the MSCI AC Asia
ex-Japan Index in October 2014. The reason for the change is the inclusion of India in the new benchmark as
the Sub-Fund seeks to include India in the portfolio’s investment universe for better portfolio diversification.
The benchmark was changed from the MSCI AC Far East ex-Japan (Gross) Index to the MSCI AC Far East
ex-Japan (Net) Index in February 2001. The reason for the change is that a net index calculates performance
net of Luxembourg taxes which is more comparable with the calculation of the performance of the
Sub-Fund which is also net of Luxembourg taxes.
In August 2014, the benchmark was changed to the MSCI AC Asia ex Japan Index. The reason for the
change is the inclusion of India in the new benchmark as the Sub-Fund seeks to include India in the
portfolio’s investment universe for better portfolio diversification.
6. Fidelity Funds - Australian Diversified Equity Fund (formerly known as Fidelity Funds - Australia Fund)
The benchmark was changed from the Australia All Ordinaries Index to the S&P ASX 300 Index in March
2000. Thereafter, the benchmark was changed to S&P ASX 200 Index in July 2002. The reason for the
change is that the S&P ASX is the industry standard and is widely used in Australian equity peer group
universe comparisons. It is a better overall representation of the investable universe for dedicated Australian
equity funds.
The benchmark was changed from MSCI China (Net) Index to the MSCI China Capped 10% Index in
February 2008. This would see a maximum benchmark weighting of 10% on all single issuers in the index.
The reason for the change stems from a SICAV restriction on the Sub-Fund whereby it can only hold a
maximum of 10% in any one stock.
lxviii
8. Fidelity Funds - China Innovation Fund
The benchmark was changed from the MSCI Zhong Hua Capped 10% Index to the MSCI Zhong Hua
Capped 10% (Net) in July 2011. The index performance shown had been adjusted using the MSCI Zhong
Hua Capped 10% (Net) from the launch date of the Sub-Fund. The reason for the change is that a net index
calculates performance net of withholding taxes which is more comparable with the calculation of the
performance of the Sub-Fund, which is also net of withholding taxes.
With effect from 24 February 2021, the Sub-Fund was repurposed and renamed Fidelity Funds - China
Innovation Fund. At the same time, the Sub-Fund’s reference index changed from MSCI Zhong Hua
Capped 10% (Net) to MSCI China All Share Index as the index constituents are representative of the type
of companies the Sub-Fund invests in.
The benchmark was changed from MSCI Emerging Asia Composite Index to the MSCI Emerging Asia
Composite Index (Net) in July 2011. The index performance shown had been adjusted using the MSCI
Emerging Asia Composite Index (Net) from the launch date of the Sub-Fund. The reason for the change
is that a net index calculates performance net of withholding taxes which is more comparable with the
calculation of the performance of the Sub-Fund, which is also net of withholding taxes.
The benchmark was changed from MSCI Emerging Markets Free Total Return Index to the MSCI Emerging
Markets Index in January 2001. The reason for the change is that the new benchmark is a more accurate
representation of the Sub-Fund’s investment objectives.
The benchmark was changed from Dow Jones STOXX (TMI) Mid Europe Index (Net Return) to the MSCI
Europe (Net Luxembourg tax) Index in July 2007. The reason for the change is that the new benchmark is
a more representative benchmark.
The benchmark was changed from FTSE World Europe ex UK Index to the FTSE World Europe Index in
March 2000. The reason for the change is that the new benchmark allows the Sub-Fund to invest in UK
equities.
From January 2020, the Sub-Fund adopted the MSCI Europe Index (Net) as the Sub-Fund’s reference
index for comparative purposes only. The update was made in order to bring the Sub-Fund in line with the
European Securities and Markets Authority’s (ESMA) UCITS Key Investor Information Document (KIID)
benchmark disclosure requirements. This new index was selected as it more appropriately reflects the
investment universe of securities in which the Sub-Fund invests in.
The benchmark was changed in December 1996 from the Frankfurt FAZ General Index to the DAX 100
Index, which is now known as the HDAX® Total Return Index. The reason for the change in benchmark is
that the new benchmark is a more accurate representation of the investment universe.
In October 2006, the benchmark was changed from the FTSE Global Financial Services with 5% Modified
Cap Weighting Index to MSCI AC World Financials Index. The benchmark was changed to MSCI AC World
Financials + Real Estate in September 2016 following a reclassification exercise by MSCI. The benchmark
was changed from the MSCI AC World Financials + Real Estate index to the MSCI AC World Financials
Index in August 2017. The change represents a move to reflect industry standards.
lxix
15. Fidelity Funds - Global Focus Fund
The benchmark was changed from the MSCI WORLD (N) to the MSCI ACWI Index (Net) in November
2011. The reason for the change is to recognise the increased prominence of emerging markets both from an
economic stand point as well as in terms of investment opportunities so as to better reflect the investment
universe.
The benchmark was changed from the FTSE Global Health & FTSE Global Pharmaceuticals with 5%
Modified Cap Weighting Index to the MSCI AC World Health Care Index in October 2006. The reasons
for the change are to better align the benchmarks of our sector funds with the diversified global equity
portfolios managed by the Global Equity Team and also to remove the complex 5% cap on individual stock
weights in the current benchmark. In addition, MSCI Indices are generally more well-known to investors
outside the UK.
The benchmark was changed from the FTSE Global Cyclical Sectors with 5% Modified Cap Weighting
Index to the MSCI AC World Energy, Materials and Industrials Index in October 2006. The reasons for the
change are to better align the benchmarks of our sector funds with the diversified global equity portfolios
managed by the Global Equity Team and also to remove the complex 5% cap on individual stock weights
in the current benchmark. In addition, MSCI Indices are generally more well-known to investors outside
the UK.
In July 2011, the benchmark was changed to MSCI AC World Industrials + Materials + Energy Index (Net).
The index performance shown had been adjusted using the MSCI AC World Industrials + Materials +
Energy Index (Net) from 2 October 2006, the date when the Gross Index was first introduced. The reason
for the change is that a net index calculates performance net of withholding taxes which is more comparable
with the calculation of the performance of the Sub-Fund, which is also net of withholding taxes.
The benchmark was changed from the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index to the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT
Developed Index (Net) in July 2011. The index performance shown had been adjusted using the FTSE
EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index (Net) from the launch date of the Sub-Fund. The reason for the change
is that a net index calculates performance net of withholding taxes which is more comparable with the
calculation of the performance of the Sub-Fund, which is also net of withholding taxes.
The benchmark was changed from the FTSE Global Information Technology & FTSE Global Electricals
Equipment with 5% Modified Cap Weighting Index to the MSCI AC World Information Technology Index
in October 2006. The reasons for the change are to better align the benchmarks of our sector funds with the
diversified global equity portfolios’ managed by the Global Equity Team and also to remove the complex 5%
cap on individual stock weights in the current benchmark. In addition, MSCI Indices are generally more
well-known to investors outside the UK.
The benchmark was changed from the FT/S&P Actuaries World Index to the MSCI World Index (Net) in
December 1997. The reason for the change is to better align the benchmarks of our international funds with
the diversified global equity portfolios managed by the Global Equity Team and also to remove the complex
5% cap on individual stock weights in the current benchmark. In addition, MSCI Indices are generally
more well-known to investors outside the UK.
With effect from 10 March 2021 this Sub-Fund was repurposed and renamed Fidelity Funds - Global
Thematic Opportunities Fund. At the same time, the Sub-Fund changed to reference the MSCI ACWI Index
for performance comparison only.
The benchmark was changed from the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index to the MSCI Golden Dragon Plus HSBC
Index in May 2001. The Sub-Fund was previously a Hong Kong equity SICAV. However, in 2001, it was
changed to be a new product, a greater China product which invests in a combination of Hong Kong, China
and Taiwan companies. As such, the MSCI Golden Dragon Plus HSBC Index is more representative of the
Sub-Fund’s new objective and investment universe. In July 2007, the benchmark was changed to MSCI
Golden Dragon benchmark to reflect the growing importance of China stocks in the investment universe.
lxx
In July 2011, the benchmark was changed to MSCI Golden Dragon Index (Net). The index performance
shown had been adjusted using the MSCI Golden Dragon Index (Net) from the launch date of the
Sub-Fund or the date when the Gross Index was first introduced (whichever is later). The reason for the
change is that a net index calculates performance net of withholding taxes which is more comparable with
the calculation of the performance of the Sub-Fund, which is also net of withholding taxes.
The benchmark was changed from 20% Lisbon BVL Index and 80% Madrid Stock Exchange Index to 20%
MS P Portugal and 80% MS P Spain in January 2002. Thereafter, the benchmark was changed to 80% MSCI
Spain Index (Net) and 20% MSCI Portugal Index (Net) in June 2002. The reason for the change is that the
new benchmark is a more accurate representation of the investment objectives.
The benchmark was changed from MSCI India Index to MSCI India Index (with an 8% cap) in May 2009.
The reason for the change stems from a SICAV restriction on the Sub-Fund whereby it can only hold a
maximum of 10% in any stock. This would see a maximum benchmark weighting of 8% on all single stock
constituents in the index.
In July 2011, the benchmark was changed to MSCI India Capped 8% Index (Net). The index performance
shown had been adjusted using the MSCI India Index Capped 8% (Net) from 1 May 2009, the date when
the Gross Index was first introduced. The reason for the change is that a net index calculates performance
net of withholding taxes which is more comparable with the calculation of the performance of the
Sub-Fund, which is also net of withholding taxes.
The benchmark was changed from the Jakarta Composite Index to the MSCI Indonesia IMI Capped 8%
Index in November 2010. The reason for the change is that the old benchmark is a total market capitalisation
weighted index, with approximately 11.5% of the index uninvestable due to a limited free float. This limits
the ability of larger sized funds to participate in the uptrend for some stocks as the daily trading volume is
too thin due to lack of free float. The new benchmark is a free float adjusted index to ensure investibility at
the individual index constituent level.
The benchmark was changed from the Milan Banca Commerciale Italiana Index to the MS P Italy (N)
Index in December 2001. Then, the benchmark was changed to the MSCI Italy (N) Index in May 2002.
Thereafter, the benchmark was changed to the Milan MIB Telematico (G) Index in July 2005. The reason
for the change is that the new index is a broader representation of the Italian market and its opportunities.
Thereafter, the benchmark was changed to the MSCI Italy 10/40 Index in June 2009. The reason for the
change is that the supplier of the old index no longer provides the data and thus the index ceased to exist.
The benchmark was changed from MSCI Italy 10/40 Index to FTSE Italia All Share Index (Net) in June
2017. The reason for the change is that the new benchmark is more representative of the Sub-Fund’s broad
investment universe.
The benchmark was changed from the Russell/Nomura Total Market Value Index to the MSCI Japan Value
Index in October 2012. The reason for the change is that the MSCI Japan Value Index better represents the
investment universe for the Sub-Fund than the Russell/Nomura Total Market Value Index. As the Russell/
Nomura Total Market Value Index is rebalanced only once a year at the end of November, it tends to
misrepresent “value” stocks when there are sharp return-reversals in the market during the course of a
year. On the other hand, the MSCI Japan Value Index is rebalanced semi-annually to maintain its style
characteristics. Furthermore, the MSCI Japan Value Index is based on more logical and comprehensive
calculations using three factors - Price to Book Ratio, Price to 12-months forward Earnings Ratio and
Dividend Yield, whereas the Russell/Nomura Total Market Value Index is based on a single factor Price
to Book Ratio. Thereafter, the benchmark was changed from the MSCI Japan Value Index to TOPIX Total
Return Index in February 2015. The reason for the change is that we believe that TOPIX offers investors
a broader exposure to the opportunities presented by the post-Abe market environment and it is a more
appropriate reference of the universe that the Sub-Fund invests in.

27. Fidelity Funds - Latin America Fund
The benchmark was changed from the MSCI EM Latin America (Gross) Index to the MSCI Emerging
Markets Latin America Index Capped 5% (Net) in July 2011. The index performance shown was adjusted
using the MSCI Emerging Markets Latin America Index Capped 5% (Net) from 1 April 2009, the date when
the Gross Index was first introduced. The reason for the change is that a net index calculates performance
net of withholding taxes which is more comparable with the calculation of the performance of the
Sub-Fund, which is also net of withholding taxes.
The benchmark was changed from the MSCI Emerging Markets Latin America Index Capped 5% (Net) to
the MSCI EM Latin America Index (Net) in March 2016. The reason for the index change is to create greater
alignment with our clients and peers, as well as reflect industry standards.
The benchmark was changed from the FT/S&P Actuaries Pacific including Japan Index to the MSCI AC
Pacific Free Index in September 1999. The reason for the change is that MSCI Indices are generally more
well-known to investors.
In July 2011, the benchmark was changed to the MSCI AC Pacific Index (Net). The index performance
shown had been adjusted using the MSCI All Countries Pacific Index (Net) from 31 January 2001, the date
when such index was first introduced. The reason for the change is that a net index calculates performance
net of withholding taxes which is more comparable with the calculation of the performance of the
Sub-Fund, which is also net of withholding taxes.
The benchmark was changed from a custom MSCI Index, the Combined Pacific (Free) ex Japan plus
Australia and New Zealand Index to the MSCI AC Far East Free ex Japan Index in October 1994. The reason
for the change is that the new benchmark is a more accurate representation of the investable universe. The
Pacific Custom Index excluded a number of markets in which the Sub-Fund invested in. Thereafter, the
benchmark was changed from MSCI AC Far East ex-Japan (Gross) Index to MSCI AC Far East ex-Japan
(Net) Index in February 2001. The reason for the change is that a net index calculates performance net
of Luxembourg taxes which is more comparable with the calculation of the performance of the Sub-Fund
which is also net of Luxembourg taxes.
In March 2015, the benchmark was changed from the MSCI AC Far East ex-Japan (Net) Index to the MSCI
AC Asia ex-Japan (Net) Index. The reason for the change is for better portfolio diversification.
The Sub-Fund can have exposure to India, which is the second largest economy in Asia ex Japan, and one
of the fastest-growing in the world.
The benchmark was changed from the FTSE Global Consumer Sectors with 5% Modified Cap Weighting
Index to MSCI AC World Consumer Discretionary and Staples Index in October 2006. The reasons for the
change are to better align the benchmarks of our sector funds with the diversified global equity portfolios’
managed by the Global Equity Team and also to remove the complex 5% cap on individual stock weights
in the current benchmark. In addition, MSCI Indices are generally more well-known to investors outside
the UK.
In July 2011, the benchmark was changed to MSCI AC World Consumer Discretionary + Staples Index
(Net). The index performance shown had been adjusted using the MSCI AC World Consumer Discretionary
+ Staples Index (Net) from 2 October 2006, the date when the Gross Index was first introduced. The reason
for the change is that a net index calculates performance net of withholding taxes which is more comparable
with the calculation of the performance of the Sub-Fund, which is also net of withholding taxes.
With effect from 4 October 2021, the Sub-Fund was repurposed and renamed Fidelity Funds - Sustainable
Consumer Brands Fund. At the same time, the Sub-Fund’s reference index changed to MSCI ACWI Index
as the index constituents are representative of the type of companies the Sub-Fund invests in.
With effect from 28 October 2021, this Sub-Fund was repurposed and renamed Fidelity Funds - Sustainable
Europe Equity Fund. At the same time, the Sub-Fund’s reference index changed from MSCI EMU Index
to MSCI Europe Index as the index constituents are representative of the type of companies the Sub-Fund
invests in.
lxxii
32. Fidelity Funds - Sustainable Eurozone Equity Fund
The Sub-Fund was repurposed and renamed Fidelity Funds - Sustainable Eurozone Equity Fund on 30
October 2019. At the same time the Sub-Fund’s reference index was changed from the MSCI Europe (Net)
Index to the MSCI EMU Index (Net). The reason for the change in benchmark is that the new benchmark
is a more accurate representation of the investment universe.
The benchmark was changed from the Standard and Poor’s 500 Total Return Gross Index to Standard and
Poor’s 500 Total Return Net Index in March 2011. The index performance shown had been adjusted using
the Standard and Poor’s 500 Total Return Net Index from the launch date of the Sub-Fund. The reason
for the change is that the Standard and Poor’s 500 Total Return Net Index calculates performance net of
withholding tax, which is more comparable with the calculation of the performance of the Sub-Fund which
is also net of withholding tax.
Upon registration, there was no benchmark assigned to the hedged Share classes A-ACC-Euro (Euro/USD
hedged) and Y-ACC-Euro (Euro/USD hedged) as the hedging methodology adopted by these Share classes
differs from the hedging methodology used by the Sub-Fund’s benchmark provider, which provides the
benchmark, MSCI ACWI Index (Net), for the other non-hedged Share classes.
From May 2020, the benchmark of the Sub-Fund was assigned to the hedged Share classes A-ACC-Euro
(Euro/USD hedged) and Y-ACC-Euro (Euro/USD hedged) in addition to the other non-hedged Share classes.
The reason the benchmark has been assigned to the hedged Share classes is to bring the Sub-Fund in line
with the European Securities and Markets Authority’s (ESMA) UCITS Key Investor Information Document
(KIID) benchmark disclosure requirements. However, the benchmark does not take account of currency
hedging. As such, there may be a greater difference between the past performance of the hedged Share
classes and the Benchmark than for other non-hedged Share classes in the Sub-Fund.
The benchmark was changed from a composite index representing 50% Swiss Market Index and 50%
Switzerland Stock Market Medium Capitalisation Index to the MS P Switzerland Index in December 2001.
Thereafter, the benchmark was changed to the MSCI Switzerland Index (Net) in June 2002. The reason for
the change is that MSCI Indices are generally more well-known to investors.
The benchmark was changed from the Bangkok SET Index to the Bangkok SET Capped Index in March
2008. The reason for the change is that the new index would see a maximum benchmark weighting of 17%
on the PPT Group of companies and a further 10% cap on all single securities in the index. This stems from
UCITS guidelines restricting the maximum holdings within a SICAV of any one group of companies as well
as the existing SICAV 10% issuer limit.
The benchmark was changed from 100% FTSE World Index to a composite consisting 60% MSCI WORLD
(N) and 40% MSCI Europe ex United Kingdom (N) in January 1998. The reasons for the change are to
better align the benchmarks of our world funds with the diversified global equity portfolios managed by the
Global Equity Team. In addition, MSCI Indices are generally more well-known to investors outside the UK.
In June 2014, the benchmark was changed to 100% MSCI World Index (Net). The reason for the change
is that the MSCI World Index (Net) offers a broad and investable developed market focused global equity
index that is more representative of the Sub-Fund’s opportunity set than the previous custom composite
index which had a distinct European bias.
lxxiii
Equity Income Sub-Fund
In December 2019, the Sub-Fund’s investment objective was updated to make reference to the MSCI AC
Asia Pacific ex Japan (Gross) Index. The benchmark index was added as an internal outperformance target
for this Sub-Fund. The update to the investment objective was required in order to bring the Sub-Fund
in line with the European Securities and Markets Authority’s (ESMA) UCITS Key Investor Information
Document (KIID) benchmark disclosure requirements.
The benchmark was changed from the FTSE Global Telecommunication Services with 5% Modified Cap
Weighting Index to the MSCI AC World Telecommunications Index in October 2006. The reasons for the
change are to better align the benchmarks of our sector funds with the diversified global equity portfolios
managed by the Global Equity Team and also to remove the complex 5% cap on individual stock weights in
the current benchmark. In addition, MSCI Indices are generally more well-known to investors outside the UK.
To meet client needs and broaden the existing Fidelity Funds equity income product offering the Fidelity
Funds - Global Telecommunications Fund was being repurposed from a pure sector strategy, focused on
telecommunications companies to a more diversified equity income fund, constructed from a universe that
includes the constituents of the MSCI ACWI Infrastructure Index. The index constituents are categorised
into five MSCI infrastructure sectors: telecommunications, utilities, energy, transportation and social
(including educational services and healthcare facilities). The rationale for broadening the remit beyond
telecommunications to include the other industries stemmed from the fact that these types of companies
tend to pay regular, predictable dividends with relatively long duration. The strategy is unconstrained and
the reference index will be used as a reference for the portfolio and for performance measurement.
To reflect this broader asset allocation set the Sub-Fund was repurposed and renamed Fidelity Funds -
Global Infrastructure Fund on 1 October 2018. At the same time the Sub-Fund’s reference index was
changed from MSCI World Telecoms to MSCI AC World Infrastructure Index, also to reflect the broader
asset allocation potential.
With effect from 19 April 2021 the Sub-Fund was repurposed and renamed Fidelity Funds - Global Dividend
Plus Fund. At the same time, the Sub-Fund’s reference index changed from MSCI AC World Infrastructure
Index to MSCI ACWI Index as the index constituents are representative of the type of companies the Sub-
Fund invests in.
The benchmark was changed from MSCI World High Dividend Yield Index (Net) to the MSCI ACWI Index
(Net) in July 2014. The reason for the change is that the new benchmark is more representative of the
Sub-Fund’s investment universe and the way the portfolio manager is managing the Sub-Fund.
1. Fidelity Funds - Asia Pacific Multi Asset Growth & Income Fund
There is no benchmark for the Sub-Fund given the intention to retain flexibility to capture potential
investment opportunities.
The benchmark was changed from a composite index representing 60% MSCI EUR ex UK (N) and 40%
SB Eur Invest Grade to a composite index representing 60% MSCI EMU (N) and 40% Citigroup EMU
Government Bond Index in October 1998. The benchmark was changed again to a composite index
representing 59% MSCI EMU (N); 41% Citigroup EMU Government Bond Index in November 2007. The
reason for the changes in benchmark is that the new benchmarks are more accurate representations of the
investment universe.
In October 2019, the Sub-Fund was repurposed and renamed the Fidelity Funds - European Multi Asset
Income Fund. As the same time, the benchmark was removed as the repurposed Sub-Fund became an
outcome-focused Sub-Fund with a strong focus on capital preservation.
lxxiv
3. Fidelity Funds - Global Multi Asset Defensive Fund
Whilst there is a carefully designed long-term strategic asset allocation which represents the neutral position
of the Sub-Fund and on which the long-term risk and return objectives are based, there is no benchmark
for the Sub-Fund since the portfolio manager is focused on aiming to deliver a target outcome of capital
preservation and a reasonable level of growth over the longer term and all performance reporting would be
on an absolute basis.
There was previously no benchmark for the Sub-Fund as it used a broad global investment universe and
was managed using a flexible, volatility target based strategy.
With effect from 10 March 2021 the Sub-Fund was repurposed and renamed Fidelity Funds - Global Multi
Asset Dynamic Fund. At the same time, the Sub-Fund changed to reference the 75% MSCI ACWI Index;
25% Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index for performance comparison only.
Whilst there is a carefully designed long-term strategic asset allocation which represents the neutral position
of the Sub-Fund and on which the long-term risk and return objectives are based, there is no benchmark
for the Sub-Fund since the portfolio manager is focused on aiming to deliver a target outcome of capital
preservation and a reasonable level of growth over the longer term and all performance reporting would be
on an absolute basis.
There is no benchmark for the Sub-Fund as there is no broadly used benchmark available that conforms to
the Sub-Fund’s aim of producing a balance of income and moderate capital gains by investing flexibly across
multiple asset class securities on a global basis.
7. Fidelity Funds - Greater China Multi Asset Growth & Income Fund
There is no benchmark for the Sub-Fund given the intention to retain flexibility to capture potential
investment opportunities.
8. Fidelity Funds - Sustainable Multi Asset Income Fund (formerly known as Fidelity Funds - Multi Asset
Income Fund)
The benchmark was changed from a composite index representing 60% MSCI WORLD (N) and 40%
Citigroup G-7 Bond Index to a composite representing 50% MSCI WORLD (N) and 50% Citigroup G-7
Bond Index in February 2004. The benchmark was subsequently changed in July 2006 from a composite
representing 50% MSCI WORLD (N) and 50% Citigroup G-7 Bond Index to a composite index representing
50% MSCI AC WORLD (N) and 50% Lehman Brothers Global Aggregate G5 ex MBS Index. The reason for
the equity benchmark change was that the new benchmark included a wider universe that encompasses
those countries classified as Emerging Markets. The reason for the bond benchmark change was that the
new benchmark included corporate bonds that should enable the Sub-Fund to benefit from the higher
long-term returns and superior income streams associated with such securities. The bond component of the
composite benchmark was renamed from Lehman Brothers Global Aggregate G5 ex-MBS Index to Barclays
Global Aggregate G5 x-US Collateralized ex-European ABS Index from Dec 2008 due to a rebranding by
Barclays Capital.
The benchmark was changed from a composite index representing 50% MSCI AC WORLD (N) and 50%
Barclays Global Aggregate G5 x-US Collateralized ex-European ABS Index to a composite representing 50%
MSCI AC WORLD (N) and 50% Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index (Hedged) in May 2017.
The reason for the change was to minimise the exposure investors have to currency movements by hedging
all fixed income hedge exposure within the portfolio to the base currency.
In August 2020, a decision was made to remove the index from the Sub-Fund in line with the European
Securities and Markets Authority’s (ESMA) UCITS Key Investor Information Document (KIID) benchmark
disclosure requirements. The Sub-Fund is now actively managed without reference to an index.
lxxv
Bond Sub-Funds
There is no benchmark for the Sub-Fund so as to be aligned with its key peers in the market.
The benchmark was changed from the BofA Merrill Lynch Asian High Yield Corporate Index to the BofA
Merrill Lynch Asian High Yield Corporate Issuers Constrained Index in October 2009. The reason for
the change is that the new index has less concentration risk and is a better fit to the way the Sub-Fund is
managed.
The benchmark was changed to ICE BofA Asian Dollar High Yield Corporate Index (Level 4 20% Lvl4 Cap,
3% Constrained) in May 2011. The reason for the change is a pre-emptive move to ensure the benchmark
is adequately diversified from both a sector and issuer perspective. Taking into account future issuance
trends in high yield, it is possible that new issuance in one or more of the largest sectors could increase
the sector weights excessively if the benchmark is left unconstrained at the sector level. Another possibility
is changes to rating agency methodologies that could lead to an increase in the number of high yield
rated banking sector bonds, including subordinated bonds. Given that the objective of the Sub-Fund is to
be managing a well-diversified portfolio across different sectors and markets that takes advantage of the
pan-Asian growth theme, it is prudent to adopt a benchmark that avoids single sectors or single issuers
becoming too dominant and the benchmark becomes too concentrated at a sector/issuer level.
The benchmark was changed from the BofA Merrill Lynch Asian High Yield Corporate Issuers Constrained
Index to the BofA Merrill Lynch Asian High Yield Corporate Issuers Constrained Index (hedged to SGD)
in October 2010. The reason for the change is that as the Sub-Fund is going to be converted to a hedged
share class, it would be more appropriate to measure the Sub-Fund’s performance against an index that is
hedged so as to be consistent.
The benchmark was changed to ICE BofA Asian Dollar High Yield Corporate Index (Level 4 20% Lvl4 Cap,
3% Constrained) Hedged to SGD in May 2011 for the reason explained in (2) above.
There is no benchmark for the Sub-Fund as there is a lack of viable options that capture both the onshore
and offshore China bond markets.
There is no benchmark for the Sub-Fund as this is a relatively immature market, no broadly used benchmark
is available that conforms to the Sub-Fund’s aim of producing income and capital gains by investing in
investment-grade RMB securities and other securities hedged back to the RMB.
The benchmark was changed from J.P.M. EMBI Global to J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index - Global
Diversified in April 2016. The change is to bring the Sub-Fund in line with the industry standard and allow
for improved diversification of risk. The EMBI Global uses a traditional market capitalisation approach to
determine the weight of each individual issue, as well as the resulting country index allocations. As a result,
EMBI Global is heavily skewed towards the countries that have the largest amount of outstanding debt,
which indicates that they have heavy debt burdens and may carry an increased risk of default. The EMBI
Global Diversified distributes country weights more evenly.
The benchmark was changed from Salomon Brothers ECU Bond Index to the Citigroup World Government
Bond European Index in January 1995. Then, the benchmark was changed to the Citigroup EMU Govt
Bond Index in November 1998. Thereafter, the benchmark was changed to the ICE BofA Euro Large Cap
Index in April 2003. The reason for the change is that the new index better reflected the peer group the
Sub-Fund was in.
lxxvi
8. Fidelity Funds - European High Yield Fund
The benchmark was changed from the BofA Merrill Lynch Euro High Yield Index to the BofA Merrill Lynch
Euro High Yield/BofA Merrill Lynch Euro High Yield Constrained Link Index in August 2002. Then, the
benchmark was changed to the BofA Merrill Lynch Global High Yield European Issuers Constrained Index
(Hedged to Euro) in July 2008. Thereafter, the benchmark was changed to the ICE BofA Global High
Yield European Issuers Constrained (Level 4 20% Capped) Index (Hedged to EUR) in February 2013. The
reason for the change is that over the past few years the financial crisis has caused financials to become a
disproportionately large part of the index. Historically, financials have had a weighting of approximately
8% while today that figure is over 30% given the downgrades that have occurred from the investment grade
market to the high yield bond market. The move to a Level 4 capped benchmark produced by BofA Merrill
Lynch that would place a cap on any industry that becomes greater than 20%. This cap would apply to the
sub-sectors that make up an industry. Capping the benchmark for any industry greater than 20% would
ensure that this benchmark change is a one-off permanent event.
The benchmark was changed from the FTSE Actuaries All Stocks Index to the BofA Merrill Lynch Sterling
Large Capitalisation Index in February 2002. The reason for the change is that new benchmark is a more
accurate representation of the investable universe.
There was no benchmark for the Sub-Fund following the change of name and investment objective to
Fidelity Funds - Flexible Bond Fund from Fidelity Funds - Sterling Bond Fund in February 2016. The
purpose of the change was to increase the Sub-Fund’s focus on providing income and capital growth in a
risk efficient manner by giving it flexibility to invest across a broader fixed income universe.
From January 2020, the Sub-Fund adopted the ICE BofA Q880 Custom Index as the Sub-Fund’s reference
index for comparative purposes only. The update was made in order to bring the Sub-Fund in line with the
European Securities and Markets Authority’s (ESMA) UCITS Key Investor Information Document (KIID)
benchmark disclosure requirements. This new index was selected as it more appropriately reflects the
investment universe of securities in which the Sub-Fund invests in.
The benchmark was changed from the Salomon Brothers World Bond Index to the Citigroup World
Government Bond Index (WGBI) Unhedged in August 1995. Then, the benchmark was changed to the
Citigroup G-7 Bond Index in September 1997 and back to the Citigroup World Government Bond Index
(WGBI) Unhedged in June 2000. Thereafter, the benchmark was changed to the Lehman Brothers Global
Aggregate G5 ex-MBS Index in July 2003. The benchmark was renamed to Barclays Global Aggregate G5
x-US Collateralized ex-European ABS Index from December 2008 as Barclays Capital is re-branding its
unified family of indices under the “Barclays Capital Indices” name. This combines the existing Lehman
Brothers and Barclays Capital indices into a single platform. From September 2016, the benchmark was
changed to the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index (Unhedged). As the Sub-Fund adopts a
global approach to investing internationally across currencies and sectors, the new index better represents
this opportunity set, as it would not be constrained to G5 currencies or exclude sectors.
There is no benchmark for the Sub-Fund so as to be aligned with its key peers in the market.
The benchmark was changed from the BofA Merrill Lynch Global Inflation-Linked Government Index to
the Bloomberg Barclays World Government Inflation-Linked Bond Index in February 2010. The reason for
the change is that the majority of the Sub-Fund’s peer group is using Bloomberg Barclays as their provider
for Global Inflation-Linked Bond indices. In order to match with the industry standards and position of
the Sub-Fund against the competition, a decision was made to switch from the current BofA Merrill Lynch
benchmark to the Bloomberg Barclays Index.
The benchmark was changed to the Bloomberg Barclays World Government Inflation-Linked 1 to 10 Year
Index in March 2011. The reason for the change is that Fidelity wishes to implement a more flexible
approach to the duration management of the Sub-Fund.
lxxvii
13. Fidelity Funds - Global Inflation-linked Bond Fund (A-ACC-Euro (hedged)
For the hedged share class, A-ACC EUR Hedged, the benchmark was changed from the BofA Merrill Lynch
Global Inflation-Linked Government Index to the BofA Merrill Lynch Global Inflation-Linked Government
Index Hedged to EUR and the BofA Merrill Lynch Global Inflation-Linked Government Index Hedged to
SGD respectively in November 2009. Replacing unhedged benchmarks with hedged versions for hedged
share classes provides the investors of hedged share class with a “clean” measure of over or under relative
investment performance data without any exchange rate fluctuations.
From February 2010, for the hedged share class, A-ACC EUR Hedged, the benchmark was changed to
Bloomberg Barclays World Government Inflation-Linked Bond Index Hedged to EUR and Bloomberg
Barclays World Government Inflation-Linked Bond Index Hedged to SGD respectively as explained above.
From March 2011, for the hedged share class, A-ACC EUR Hedged, the benchmark was changed to the
Bloomberg Barclays World Government Inflation-Linked 1 to 10 Year Index Hedged to EUR as explained
above.
There is no benchmark for the Sub-Fund as there is no available appropriate benchmark to accurately
represent the investment objective of the Sub-Fund.
The benchmark was the Barclays Global Aggregate Index until April 2017. Thereafter, the Sub-Fund does
not have a benchmark, which reflects industry standards and creates greater alignment with Fidelity’s
clients and peers.
From February 2020, the Sub-Fund adopted the ICE BofA Q944 Custom Index as the Sub-Fund’s reference
index for comparative purposes only. The update was made in order to bring the Sub-Fund in line with the
European Securities and Markets Authority’s (ESMA) UCITS Key Investor Information Document (KIID)
benchmark disclosure requirements.
The benchmark was changed from the Citigroup Eurodollar Straight Bond Index to the Citigroup Eurodollar
Bond Index in August 1995. Thereafter, the benchmark was changed to the BofA Merrill Lynch US Corporate
& Government Large Capitalisation Index in February 2002. The benchmark was changed from Citigroup
Eurodollar Bond Index to ICE BofAML US Large Cap Corporate & Government Index in April 2006. The
reason for the change is that the new benchmark is an aggregate index and better reflected the peer group
the Sub-Fund was in while the old benchmark was corporate bonds only.
From 1 December 2020, the Sub-Fund will change its benchmark to ICE BofA Q4AR Custom Index as
the benchmark constituents best represent the characteristics the Sub-Fund is seeking to gain exposure to.
Cash Sub-Funds
There is no benchmark for the Sub-Fund as the Sub-Fund is not managed to a specific benchmark as the
Portfolio Manager seeks to maintain a stable capital value whilst generating returns to investors based on
low risk cash-based assets.
There is no benchmark for the Sub-Fund as the Sub-Fund is not managed to a specific benchmark as the
Portfolio Manager seeks to maintain a stable capital value whilst generating returns to investors based on
low risk cash-based assets.
lxxviii
Fidelity Lifestyle Funds Sub-Funds
The benchmark was changed from the MSCI WORLD (N) to a blend of benchmarks, known as the
Fidelity 2020 Composite Index (98.7% MSCI WORLD (N); 0.60% Barclays Capital Global Aggregate G5
ex-MBS Index; 0.40% FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global Real Estate (Total Return) Index; 0.30% Dow Jones UBS
Commodity (Total Return) Index; 0.00% USD 1 week LIBID) in August 2009. As at 30 November 2020, the
blended benchmark consists of Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate G5 x-US Collateralized ex-European
ABS Index, USD 1W LIBID and MSCI World Index.
The reason for the change is that the Sub-Fund would start to roll down into other asset classes. As a result,
the current benchmark (which represents a static allocation) is no longer representative as the customised
index would change periodically in-line with the Sub-Fund’s roll down.
From 1 January 2021, the blended benchmark of the Sub-Fund consisted of USD 1W LIBID due to the
continued roll-down of the Sub-Fund. With effect from 2 August 2021, the blended benchmark of the
Sub-Fund will consist of Secured Overnight Financing Rate or “SOFR”, due to the decommissioning of the
London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR).
Note: The benchmark for the Sub-Fund would change as the Sub-Fund, in line with the Sub-Fund’s investment
objective, reaches its maturity date.
There is no benchmark for the Sub-Fund as it uses a broad global investment universe and is managed
using a flexible, volatility target based strategy.

Inflation swaps An inflation swap is a derivative used to transfer inflation risk from one party to another
through an exchange of cash flows. In an inflation swap, one party pays a fixed rate on
a notional principal amount, while the other party pays a floating rate linked to an
inflation index, such as the Consumer Price Index. The party paying the floating rate
pays the inflation-adjusted rate multiplied by the notional principal amount. For example,
one party may pay a fixed rate of 3% on a two year inflation swap, and in return receive
the actual inflation.
Interest rate futures An interest rate future is a contract between the buyer and seller agreeing to the future
delivery of any interest-bearing asset. The interest rate future allows the buyer and seller
to lock in the price of the interest-bearing asset for a future date.
Interest rate swaps An interest rate swap is a liquid financial derivative instrument in which two parties agree
to exchange interest rate cash flows, based on a specified notional principal amount
from a fixed rate to a floating rate (or vice versa) or from one floating rate to another.

The following risk factors do not purport to be a complete explanation of the risks involved in investing in the Shares.
Prospective investors should read the entire Prospectus and consult with their legal, tax and financial advisors before
making any decision to invest in the fund.
4. Liquidity
In normal market conditions the Fund’s assets comprise mainly realisable investments which can be readily sold. A fund’s main
liability is the redemption of any shares that investors wish to sell. In general the Fund manages its investments, including cash,
such that it can meet its liabilities. Investments held may need to be sold if insufficient cash is available to finance such redemptions.
If the size of the disposals is sufficiently large, or the market is illiquid, then there is a risk that either the investments might not be
sold or the price at which they are sold may adversely affect the Net Asset Value of the fund.
8. Custody
Custodial Risk
There are risks involved in dealing with the Depositary, sub-custodians or brokers who hold or settle a fund’s trades. It is
possible that, in the event of the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Depositary, a sub-custodian or a broker, a fund would be
delayed or prevented from recovering its assets from the Depositary, sub-custodian or broker, or its estate and may have
only a general unsecured claim against the Depositary, sub-custodian or broker for those assets. The Depositary will hold
assets in compliance with applicable laws and such specific provisions as agreed in the Depositary Agreement. These
requirements are designed to protect the assets against the insolvency in bankruptcy of the Depositary but there is no
guarantee they will successfully do so. In addition, as the Fund may invest in markets where custodial and/or settlement
systems and regulations are not fully developed, including emerging markets, the assets of the Fund which are traded in
such markets and which have been entrusted to sub-custodians, in circumstances where the use of sub-custodians is
necessary, may be exposed to risk in circumstances where the Depositary will have no liability, where a loss to the Fund
has arisen as a result of an external event beyond the Depositary’s reasonable control, the consequences of which would
have been unavoidable despite all reasonable efforts to the contrary. Please also refer to the section “The Depositary” in
Part IV of the Prospectus for further detail on the provisions in relation to the liability of the Depositary.
Credit Risk with respect to Cash
The Fund will be exposed to the credit risk of the Depositary or any sub-custodian used by the Depositary where cash is
held by the Depositary or sub-custodians. Credit risk is the risk that an entity will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment
that it has entered into with the Fund. Cash held by the Depositary and sub-custodians will not be segregated in practice but
will be a debt owing from the Depositary or other sub-custodians to the Fund as a depositor. Such cash will be co-mingled
with cash belonging to other clients of the Depositary and/or sub-custodians. In the event of the insolvency of the Depositary
or sub-custodians, the Fund will be treated as a general unsecured creditor of the Depositary or sub-custodians in relation
to cash holdings of the Fund. The Fund may face difficulties and/or encounter delays in recovering such debt, or may not be
able to recover it in full or at all, in which case the relevant fund(s) will lose some or all of their cash. The Fund may enter
into additional arrangements (for example, placing cash in money market collective investment schemes) in order to mitigate
credit exposure for its cash holdings but may be exposed to other risks as a result. To mitigate the Fund’s exposure to the
Depositary, the Management Company employs specific procedures to ensure that the Depositary is a reputable institution
and that the credit risk is acceptable to the Fund. If there is a change in Depositary then the new custodian will be a regulated
entity subject to prudential supervision with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.
Central Securities Depositary
Where securities are held by a central securities depositary or clearing system, such securities may be held by such entities in
client omnibus accounts and in the event of a default by any such entity, where there is an irreconcilable shortfall of such securities,
the Fund may have to share that shortfall on a pro-rata basis. Securities may be deposited with central securities depositary which
the Depositary is not obliged to appoint as its sub-custodians and in respect of the acts or defaults of which the Depositary shall
have no liability.
13. Distribution of Dividends and Expenses out of/effectively out of Capital (CDIST/MCDIST/MINCOME/QINCOME
Share classes only)
For distributing classes of Shares, dividends may be paid out of capital where the investment income/capital gain generated
by the relevant fund is insufficient to pay a distribution as declared. Certain distributing classes of Shares may also pay
dividends out of gross investment income whilst all or part of their fees and expenses are paid out of capital, thereby resulting
in an increase in distributable income for the payment of dividends to such classes of Shares. It is important to note that
distributing classes of Shares may distribute not only investment income, but also realised and unrealised capital gains or
capital. Investors should also note that the payment of dividends and/or fees and expenses (collectively, “distributions”) out
of capital represents a return or withdrawal of part of the amount they originally invested or from any capital gains attributable
to the original investment. Such distributions may result in an immediate decrease in the Net Asset Value per Share of the
fund and in the capital that the fund has available for investment in the future. Capital growth may be reduced so that a high
distribution yield does not imply a positive or high return on investors’ total investments.
The distribution amount and the Net Asset Value of the hedged Share class may be adversely affected by differences in the
interest rates of the reference currency of the hedged Share class and the fund’s base currency, resulting in an increase in
the amount of distribution that is paid out of capital and hence a greater erosion of capital than other non-hedged Share
classes.
14. Risk associated with Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (‘FATCA’)
The Fund intends to fully comply with the legislation and the obligations imposed on it by FATCA and meet its obligation
under the inter-governmental agreement (“IGA”) with the US. However, no assurance can be given that the Fund will be
able to fully achieve this and avoid being subject to US withholding taxes. In the event the Fund as a Luxembourg financial
institution is deemed by the US Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to not be meeting its obligations in the future, the Fund
may become subject to additional US withholding taxes, which could materially impact income returns from certain US
source securities. In addition Shareholders may suffer material loss in certain funds where US withholding tax is imposed
on the capital value of US source securities. Investors should consult their legal, tax and financial advisers to determine their
status under the FATCA regime before making any decision to invest in any fund.
1. Equities
For funds which invest in stocks, the value of those stocks may fluctuate, sometimes dramatically, in response to the activities
and results of individual companies or because of general market and economic conditions or other events, including changes
in investment sentiment, political and issuer-specific factors.
4. Downgrading Risk
The credit rating of debt instruments or their issuers may be downgraded. In the event of such downgrading, the value of the
instrument, and hence the relevant funds, may be adversely affected. The manager may or may not be able to dispose of
the debt instruments that are being downgraded.
of the debt instrument is at risk of loss if there is no recovery after default. The risk of default is usually greatest with bonds
and debt instruments that are classed as ‘sub-investment grade’.
A wide range of Sustainability Risks can affect bond issuers' cash flows and affect their ability to meet their obligations. For
corporate bond issuers, environmental risks include but are not limited to; the ability of companies to mitigate and adapt to
climate change and the potential for higher carbon prices, exposure to increasing water scarcity and potential for higher water
prices, waste management challenges, and impact on global and local ecosystems. Social risks include, but are not limited
to; product safety, supply chain management and labour standards, health and safety and human rights, employee welfare,
data & privacy concerns and increasing technological regulation. Governance risks are also relevant and can include board
composition and effectiveness, management incentives, management quality and alignment of management with
shareholders.
For sovereigns and other government related issuers, in some instances, Sustainability Risks may affect the credit quality of
the bond issuer through their impact on tax revenues, trade balance or foreign investment.
Failure to effectively manage these risks can lead to deterioration in financial outcomes as well as a negative impact on
society and the environment.
8. Valuation Risk
Valuation of a fund’s investments may involve uncertainties and judgemental determination. If such valuation turns out to
be incorrect, this may affect the calculation of the fund’s Net Asset Value.
9. Commodities
Exposure to commodities involves additional risks than those resulting from more standard asset classes such as equities
and may subject the fund to greater volatility than such investments. The value of commodity-linked instruments may be
affected by the overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a
particular commodity industry or the production and trading of commodities, such as natural events (e.g. drought, floods,
weather, livestock disease), embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments.
The extractive activities for metals and energy can come with sizeable Sustainability Risks including but not limited to
environmental damage, ecosystem impact and resource depletion. Soft commodities are subject to environmental risks such
as adverse climate change impact, deforestation and animal welfare. Sustainability Risks related to commodities also consist
of social risks which may relate to supply chain management and labour standards, health and safety and human rights as
well as governance risk due to sourcing from countries with weak governance standards.
Failure to effectively manage these risks can lead to a deterioration in financial outcomes as well as a negative impact on
society and the environment.
fund may have to reinvest that money at the lower prevailing interest rates (prepayment risk). These instruments may
be subject to greater credit, liquidity and interest rate risk compared to other debt securities. The lack of liquidity may
cause the current market price of assets to become disconnected from the underlying assets’ value as well as adversely
affecting the ability to sell the position or the price at which such a sale is transacted.
11. Multi-Asset
Multi-asset funds invest in multiple asset classes (including cash and cash equivalents) and can generally vary their exposure
to each of them. As well as being subject to the risks inherent in those individual asset classes to a degree that depends on
the exposure over time, the overall risk also depends on the correlation of returns between each asset class and hence could
be adversely affected by a change in those correlations which could result in higher volatility and/or lower diversification.
Where provided for in the relevant investment objective of a fund, for investments within multi asset funds, the risk
assessment process takes into account both the environmental, social and governance credentials of the provider and, where
possible, by performing analysis on the underlying fund holdings which provide an understanding of the Sustainability Risk
exposures.
A wide range of Sustainability Risks applies to companies within equity markets and corporate bond issuers which multi asset
funds invest in. Failure to effectively manage these risks can lead to a deterioration in financial outcomes as well as a negative
impact on society and the environment.
Environmental risks include, but are not limited to; the ability of companies to mitigate and adapt to climate change and the
potential for higher carbon prices, exposure to increasing water scarcity and potential for higher water prices, waste
management challenges, and impact on global and local ecosystems.
Social risks include, but are not limited to; product safety, supply chain management and labour standards, health and safety
and human rights, employee welfare, data & privacy concerns and increasing technological regulation.
Governance risks include board composition and effectiveness, management incentives, management quality and alignment
of management with shareholders.
Multi asset funds can invest across a broad range of geographies and asset classes. Where a fund has exposure to emerging
markets governance risks can be more pronounced. The equity exposure can include exposure to smaller companies where
lower levels of disclosure can entail governance risks. Sovereign fixed income exposure can be affected by governance
factors such as the political climate, the regulatory regime and rule of law. Multi Asset funds can invest in third-party strategies
which exposes them to governance risks as the underlying investment decisions are delegated to third-party managers.
Alternative asset classes such as infrastructure can expose investors to liquidity and transparency risks. Infrastructure shares
similar risk characteristics to real estate assets. Infrastructure exposure through public private partnerships can expose these
assets to political risk and regulatory changes.
1. Stock/Issuer Concentration
Funds which invest in a relatively small number of investments or issuers may experience a more volatile Net Asset Value
as a result of this concentration of holdings relative to a fund that diversifies across a larger number of investments or
issuers.
2. Country Concentration
Funds which may invest in a single or small number of countries may have greater exposures to the market, political, policy,
foreign exchange, liquidity, tax, legal, regulatory, economic and social risks of those countries than a fund which diversifies
across a number of countries, thereby making the fund more susceptible to any adverse events affecting those countries.
This may result in lower liquidity of the fund’s assets and/or a higher volatility of the Net Asset Value than a fund that
diversifies across more countries.
3. Sector Concentration
Funds which may invest in a single or small number of sectors may have greater exposures to the market, liquidity, tax,
legal, regulatory, and economic risks of those sectors than a fund which diversifies across a number of sectors, thereby
making such funds more susceptible to any adverse events affecting those sectors. This may result in lower liquidity of such
funds’ assets and/or a higher volatility of the Net Asset Value than a fund that diversifies across more sectors.
a. Financial Services Sector Risk
The profitability or viability of companies in the financial services industry is subject to extensive government regulation and
can be significantly affected by adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting the financial services sector. Unstable
interest rates will impact the availability and cost of capital funds, the rate of corporate and consumer debt defaults and
increased price competition will all create volatility and disrupt companies operating in the sector. In particular, events in the
financial sector since late 2008 have resulted, and may continue to result, in an unusually high degree of volatility in the
financial markets, both domestic and foreign.
The nature of financial services firms can make them disproportionately exposed to Sustainability Risks. For instance, some
businesses can be highly leveraged and lapses in risk management can significantly impact equity values and shareholder
returns. Similarly, due to their pivotal role in the economy, banks and insurers are often subject to regulatory scrutiny, which
increases their sensitivity to Sustainability Risks. Failure to adequately comply with regulatory requirements can have a
negative impact on a firm’s reputation, business prospects and economic outlook. For similar reasons, financial services
firms naturally have a sensitivity to political risks, money laundering risks, and an increasing exposure to cyber-attacks and
risks around data protection and use of personal data. Furthermore, negative sentiment within this sector can be self-fulfilling
as in the case of a bank run which tends to play out much faster than in other sectors.
A wide range of Sustainability Risks apply to companies operating in the waste and water sector. Environmental risks include
but are not limited to; exposure to increasing water scarcity, waste management challenges, and impact on global and local
ecosystems. Waste management risks includes disposal and handling of hazardous waste and infectious waste. For
example, leak of a dangerous waste in the environment is an event that could cause material damage which could also
jeopardize the investee company’s reputation or lead to significant expenses. Social risks include, but are not limited to;
product safety, supply chain management and labour standards, health and safety and human rights, employee welfare,
and data & privacy concerns. Governance risks include board composition and effectiveness, management incentives,
management quality and alignment of management with shareholders.
Failure to effectively manage these risks can lead to a deterioration in financial outcomes as well as a negative impact on
society and the environment.
4. Thematic Focus
Certain funds may adopt a thematic investment approach. The investments in specific themes may not achieve the desired
results under all circumstances and market conditions. For funds which may invest in multiple themes, the investments may
be rebalanced among different themes from time to time depending on the market conditions of the respective themes, and
therefore the funds may incur greater transaction costs. Investors should note that the thematic investment approach
adopted may result in the funds being more volatile than a fund which invests in more diversified types of investments.
6. Below Investment Grade / Unrated Securities and High Yielding Debt Instruments
Certain funds may invest in below investment grade and high yielding debt instruments where the level of income may be
relatively high (compared to investment grade debt instruments); however the risk of depreciation and realisation of capital
losses on such debt instruments held may be significantly higher than on lower yielding debt instruments. High yield bonds
may be subject to lower liquidity, higher volatility, heightened risk of default and loss of principal and interest than higher-
rated/lower yielding debt securities.
High-yield bonds are often issued by smaller companies which might be privately owned and that are usually less transparent
and deliver less robust disclosures. The information scarcity results in a more challenging task for the Investment Manager
to identify and assess the materiality of eventual Sustainability Risks. In addition, public awareness on sustainability matters
(such as climate change) or specific ESG related incidents might reduce the demand for a specific bond which could result
in various effects such as a reduction in liquidity or a higher default risk resulting from higher refinancing cost for the company,
among others. Such events could ultimately have an impact on the total return of a fund with exposure to high yield
investments.
7. Emerging Markets
Certain funds may invest, in part or in whole, in emerging market securities. The price of these securities may be more
volatile and/or less liquid than those of securities in more developed markets due to increased risk and special considerations
not typically associated with investment in more developed markets. This volatility or lack of liquidity may stem from political
and economic uncertainties, legal and taxation risks, settlement risks, transfer of securities, custody risk and currency /
currency control factors. Some emerging market economies may be sensitive to world commodity prices and/or volatile
inflation rates. Others are especially vulnerable to economic conditions. Although care is taken to understand and manage
these risks, the relevant funds will ultimately bear the risks associated with investing in these markets.
A wide range of Sustainability Risks apply to investments within global emerging markets. Governance risks can be more
pronounced in the developing world, with a lack of maturity or corporate tenure being one of the contributing factors. Other
risks include board composition and effectiveness, management incentives, management quality and alignment of
management with shareholders. Governance risks in emerging markets can present a higher risk compared to developed
markets; ownership structures more commonly include controlling state interests or the controlling interests of an individual
or family. In addition, share structure can be more complex, with non-voting shares leaving minorities with less recourse and
connected parties can introduce political risks, which have far reaching implications.
With commodity related business activities more prevalent in the emerging markets, extractive industries can increase
environmental and social risks. Such risks may in particular be linked to the ability of companies to mitigate and adapt to
climate change leading such emerging market companies to face inter alia increasing carbon prices, increasing water
scarcity (and hence higher water prices), waste management challenges, as well as potential negative impacts on global
and local ecosystems. Social risks include, but are not limited to; product safety, supply chain management and labour
standards, health and safety and human rights, employee welfare, data & privacy concerns and increasing technological
regulation and diversity, which are all more exposed to potential issues in emerging markets.
For sovereign issuers in emerging markets, Sustainability Risks may affect the credit quality of the bond issuer for example
due to higher political instability, less robust regulatory regimes and the lower rule of law, through increased risk of corruption,
lower freedom of speech and a higher reliance on the evolution of commodities related sectors.
Failure to effectively manage these risks can lead to a deterioration in financial outcomes as well as a negative impact on
society and the environment.
8. Russia
Investments in Russia and Commonwealth of Independent States (“CIS”) either through Regulated Markets like the Moscow
Exchange or on non-Regulated Markets are subject to increased risk with regard to ownership and custody of securities. There
are significant risks inherent in investing in Russia and the CIS including:
(a) delays in settling transactions and the risk of loss arising out of the systems of securities registration and custody;
(b) the lack of corporate governance provisions or general rules or regulations relating to investor protection;
(c) pervasiveness of corruption, insider trading, and crime in the Russian and CIS economic systems;
(d) difficulties associated in obtaining accurate market valuations of many Russian and CIS securities, based partly on
the limited amount of publicly available information;
(e) tax regulations are ambiguous and unclear and there is a risk of imposition of arbitrary or onerous taxes;
(f) the general financial condition of Russian and CIS companies, which may involve particularly large amounts of inter-
company debt;
(g) banks and other financial systems are not well developed or regulated and as a result tend to be untested and have
low credit ratings; and
(h) the risk that the governments of Russia and CIS member states or other executive or legislative bodies may decide
not to continue to support the economic reform programs implemented since the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The
concept of fiduciary duty on the part of a company’s management is generally non-existent. Local laws and regulations
may not prohibit or restrict a company’s management from materially changing the company’s structure without
shareholder consent. Foreign investors cannot be guaranteed redress in a court of law for breach of local laws,
regulations or contracts. Regulations governing securities investment may not exist or may be applied in an arbitrary
and inconsistent manner.
Evidence of legal title in many cases will be maintained in ‘book-entry’ form and a fund could lose its registration and ownership
of records are maintained by registrars who are under contract with the issuers. The registrars are neither agents of, nor
responsible to, the Management Company, the Depositary or their local agents in Russia or in the CIS. Transferees of
securities have no proprietary rights in respect of securities until their name appears in the register of holders of the securities
of the issuer. The law and practice relating to registration of holders of securities are not well developed in Russia and in the
CIS and registration delays and failures to register securities can occur. Although Russian and CIS sub-depositaries will
maintain copies of the registrar’s records (“Records”) on its premises, such Records may not, however, be legally sufficient to
establish ownership of securities. Further a quantity of forged or otherwise fraudulent securities, Records or other documents
are in circulation in the Russian and CIS markets and there is therefore a risk that a fund’s purchases may be settled with
such forged or fraudulent securities.
In common with other emerging markets, Russia and the CIS have no central source for the issuance or publication of
corporate actions information. The Depositary therefore cannot guarantee the completeness or timeliness of the distribution
of corporate actions notifications. Although exposure to these equity markets is substantially hedged through the use of
American Depository Receipts (“ADRs”) and Global Depository Receipts (“GDRs”), funds may, in accordance with their
investment objectives, invest in securities which require the use of local depository or custodial services.
A wide range of Sustainability Risks apply to investments in Russia and the CIS. Governance risks can be more pronounced,
with a lack of maturity or corporate tenure being one of the contributing factors. Other risks include board composition and
effectiveness, management incentives, management quality and alignment of management with shareholders. Governance
risks in Russia and the CIS can present a higher risk compared to developed markets; ownership structures more commonly
include controlling state interests or the controlling interests of an individual or family. In addition, share structure can be
more complex, with non-voting shares leaving minorities with less recourse and connected parties can introduce political
risks, which have far reaching implications.
With commodity related business activities more prevalent in emerging markets, extractive industries can increase
environmental and social risks. Such risks may in particular be linked to the ability of companies to mitigate and adapt to
climate change leading such emerging market companies to face inter alia increasing carbon prices, increasing water
scarcity (and hence higher water prices), waste management challenges, as well as potential negative impacts on global
and local ecosystems. Social risks include, but are not limited to; product safety, supply chain management and labour
standards, health and safety and human rights, employee welfare, data & privacy concerns and increasing technological
regulation and diversity, which are all more exposed to potential issues in emerging markets.
For sovereign issuers in this region, Sustainability Risks may affect the credit quality of the bond issuer for example due to
higher political instability, less robust regulatory regimes and the lower rule of law, through increased risk of corruption, lower
freedom of speech and a higher reliance on the evolution of commodities related sectors.
Failure to effectively manage these risks can lead to a deterioration in financial outcomes as well as a negative impact on
society and the environment.
9. Eurozone Risk
The performance of certain funds will be closely tied to the economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical, market, currency or
other conditions in the Eurozone and could be more volatile than the performance of more geographically diversified funds.
In light of the ongoing concerns on the sovereign debt risk of certain countries within the Eurozone, the relevant funds’
investments in the region may be subject to higher volatility, liquidity, currency and default risks. Any adverse events, such
as the credit downgrade of a sovereign or the exit of Eurozone members from the Eurozone, may have a negative impact
on the value of the relevant funds.
1. China Related
a. General
i. Sustainability Risks
A wide range of Sustainability Risks apply to investments in China.
Governance risks can be more pronounced in the developing world, with a lack of maturity or corporate tenure being one of
the contributing factors. Governance risks include board composition and effectiveness, management incentives,
management quality and alignment of management with shareholders. Governance risks in China can be higher compared
to developed markets, as ownership structures more commonly include controlling state interests, or the controlling interests
of an individual or family. Share structure can be more complex, with non-voting shares leaving minorities with less recourse.
Connected parties can introduce political risks, which have far reaching implications. Whilst more limited trading history can
place the investor at an information disadvantage.
In addition, it is critical to acknowledge that Chinese extractive industries can increase environmental and social risks. The
ability of companies to mitigate and adapt to climate change and the potential for higher carbon prices, exposure to
increasing water scarcity and potential for higher water prices, waste management challenges, and impact on global and
local ecosystems. Social risks include, but are not limited to; product safety, supply chain management and labour standards,
health and safety and human rights, employee welfare, data & privacy concerns and increasing technological regulation.
Investing in the technology sector in China can present additional Sustainability Risks. For instance, with regard to supply
chain management, the responsible sourcing of materials and components and the workforce welfare of those in affiliated
manufacturers, as well as avoidance of child labour. Also, in relation to product safety; ensuring that hardware and
components do not pose a health hazard in any way to end users or those involved in intermediary manufacturing.
With regard to online publishers and social media there can be risks in the form of being able to undertake fact checking and
verifying information published on their websites, and how they reduce the spread of misinformation without harming
legitimate debate/freedom of expression.
There can also be concerns around cybersecurity; for example the attack ‘surface area’ for cyber criminals increased
significantly during the year 2020 as a result of enhanced reliance on information technology whilst in lockdown; it may not
be possible to establish whether businesses have appropriate measures in place to mitigate this. With regard to privacy,
there can be concerns as to the options and protections that online businesses give users in terms of personal data, and
how they handle such data. Theft or leakage of sensitive information and business interruptions are examples of material
events linked to this risk that could cause harm to the company’s reputation or company’s business.
For risks in relation to online welfare it may not be apparent as to the controls that online companies have in terms of toxic
content and their means of ensuring users’ welfare generally.
More broadly, as many technology businesses in this region operate in relatively under-regulated areas, they may not be
proactive in anticipating Sustainability Risks and dealing with them, before they become regulatory or political issues.
In addition, with regard to employees, there may be risks in terms of an organisation’s ability to attract and retain quality
talent. In the event that there are insufficient diversity and discrimination policies and practices, this can have a negative
impact on employee turnover rates as well as operating costs related to recruiting, training, and retaining employees.
Failure to effectively manage these risks can lead to a deterioration in financial outcomes as well as a negative impact on
society and the environment.
Whilst the RMB is traded freely outside Mainland China, the RMB spot, forward foreign exchange contracts and related
instruments reflect the structural complexities of this evolving market. 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 will not depreciate.
Any depreciation of RMB could adversely affect the value of an investor’s investment in a fund. Accordingly, the relevant
funds may be exposed to greater foreign exchange risks. Under exceptional circumstances, payment of redemptions and/or
dividend payment in RMB may be delayed due to the exchange controls and restrictions applicable to RMB.
(“PRC”) and the potential for the PRC government and/or the regulators to implement policies that may affect the financial
markets may have an adverse impact on such a fund.
High market volatility and potential settlement difficulties in the PRC markets may also result in significant fluctuations in the
prices of the securities traded on such markets. Besides, securities exchanges in the PRC typically have the right to suspend
or limit trading in any security traded on the relevant exchange. All these may have a negative impact on the Net Asset Value
of the relevant funds.
iv. QFII
Under the prevailing regulations in the PRC, foreign investors can invest in China A Shares or onshore China fixed income
securities through institutions that have obtained QFII status in the PRC. The current QFII regulations impose strict
restrictions on China A Share investment or onshore China fixed income securities. A fund’s ability to make the relevant
investments or to fully implement or pursue its investment objective and strategy is subject to the applicable laws, rules and
regulations (including restrictions on investments, minimum investment holding periods and requirements on repatriation of
principal and profits) in the PRC, which may be subject to change and such change may have potential retrospective effect.
In certain circumstances, the relevant funds may incur losses due to limited investment opportunities, or may not be able to
fully implement or pursue their investment objectives or strategy
The relevant funds may also suffer substantial losses if, the approval of the QFII status is being revoked/terminated or
otherwise invalidated as the relevant funds may be required to dispose of its securities holdings or prohibited from trading
of relevant securities and repatriation of the relevant funds’ monies, or if any of the key operators or parties (including QFII
custodian/brokers) is bankrupt/in default and/or is disqualified from performing its obligations (including execution or
settlement of any transaction or transfer of monies or securities).
v. Stock Connect
Certain funds may invest and have direct access to certain eligible China A Shares via the Stock Connect, a securities
trading and clearing linked programme which aims to achieve mutual stock market access between the PRC and Hong
Kong.
Under the Stock Connect, overseas investors (including the funds) may be allowed, subject to rules and
regulations issued / amended from time to time, to trade China A Shares listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (“SSE”)
and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (“SZSE”) through the Northbound Trading Link.
Investments through the Stock Connect are subject to risks, such as quota limitations, suspension risk, operational risk,
restrictions on selling imposed by front-end monitoring, recalling of eligible stocks, clearing and settlement risks, nominee
arrangements in holding China A Shares and regulatory risk. The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“SEHK”), SSE
and SZSE reserve the right to suspend trading through Stock Connect if necessary to ensure an orderly and fair market and
prudently manage risks which could adversely affect the relevant funds’ ability to access the PRC market. Where a
suspension in the trading through the programme is effected, the relevant fund’s ability to invest in China A Shares or access
the PRC market through the programme will be adversely affected. PRC regulations require that before an investor sells any
share, there should be sufficient shares in the account (front-end monitoring); otherwise SSE or SZSE, as relevant, will reject
the sell order concerned. SEHK will carry out pre-trade checking on China A Shares sell orders of its participants (i.e. the
stock brokers) to ensure there is no over-selling. Furthermore, the Stock Connect only operates on days when both the PRC
and Hong Kong markets are open for trading and when banks in both markets are open on the corresponding settlement
days so it is possible that there are occasions when it is a normal trading day for the PRC market but Hong Kong investors
(such as the funds) cannot carry out any China A Shares trading. The relevant funds may be subject to a risk of price
fluctuations in China A Shares during the time when the Stock Connect is not trading as a result.
The Stock Connect is novel in nature, and is subject to regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities and implementation
rules made by the stock exchanges in the PRC and Hong Kong. Furthermore, new regulations may be promulgated from time
to time by the regulators in connection with operations and cross-border legal enforcement in connection with cross-border
trades under the Stock Connect.
The regulations are untested so far and there is no certainty as to how they will be applied. Moreover, the current regulations
are subject to change which may have potential retrospective effect. There can be no assurance that the Stock Connect will
not be abolished. The relevant funds which may invest in the PRC markets through Stock Connect may be adversely affected
as a result of such changes.
vi. Risks associated with the Small and Medium Enterprise (“SME”) board, ChiNext market and/or the
Science and Technology Innovation Board (“STAR board”)
Certain funds may have exposure to stocks listed on SME board of the SZSE, ChiNext market of the SZSE and the STAR
board of the SSE.
Higher fluctuation on stock prices and liquidity risk
Listed companies on the SME board, ChiNext market and/or STAR board are usually of emerging nature with smaller operating
scale. In particular, listed companies on ChiNext market and/or STAR board are subject to wider price fluctuation limits, and
due to higher entry thresholds for investors may have limited liquidity, compared to other boards. Hence, companies listed on
these boards are subject to higher fluctuation in stock prices and liquidity risks and have higher risks and turnover ratios than
companies listed on the main boards of the SZSE and/or the SSE.
Overvaluation Risk
Stocks listed on SME board, ChiNext market and/or STAR board may be overvalued and such exceptionally high valuation
may not be sustainable. Stock price may be more susceptible to manipulation due to fewer circulating shares.
Differences in regulation
The rules and regulations regarding companies listed on ChiNext market and STAR board are less stringent in terms of
profitability and share capital than those in the main boards of the SZSE and/or the SSE and SME board.
Delisting risk
It may be more common and faster for companies listed on the SME board, ChiNext market and/or STAR board to delist. In
particular, ChiNext market and STAR board have stricter criteria for delisting compared to other boards. This may have an
adverse impact on the relevant fund if the companies that it invests in are delisted.
Concentration risk
The STAR board is a newly established board and may have a limited number of listed companies during the initial stage.
Investments in the STAR board may be concentrated in a small number of stocks and subject the relevant fund to higher
concentration risk.
Investments in the SME board, ChiNext market and/or STAR board may result in significant losses for the relevant fund and
its investors
viii. Volatility and Liquidity Risk associated with Mainland China Debt Securities
The debt securities in Mainland China markets 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. The bid and offer spreads
of the price of such securities may be large and the funds investing in Mainland China debt securities may incur significant
trading costs.
To the extent that the Fund transacts in the CIBM, the Fund may also be exposed to risks associated with settlement
procedures and default of counterparties. The counterparty which has entered into a transaction with the Fund may default
in its obligation to settle the transaction by delivery of the relevant security or by payment for value.
For investments via the Foreign Access Regime and/or Bond Connect, the relevant filings, registration with PBOC and
account opening have to be carried out via an onshore settlement agent, offshore custody agent, registration agent or other
third parties (as the case may be). As such, the Fund is subject to the risks of default or errors on the part of such third
parties.
Investing in the CIBM via Foreign Access Regime and/or Bond Connect is also subject to regulatory risks. The relevant rules
and regulations on these regimes are subject to change which may have potential retrospective effect. In the event that the
relevant Mainland Chinese authorities suspend account opening or trading on the CIBM, the Fund’s ability to invest in the
CIBM will be adversely affected. In such event, the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective will be negatively
affected.
likely to be outside of the issuer’s control and are complex and difficult to predict and may result in a significant or total
reduction in the value of such instruments.
In the event of the activation of a trigger, there may be potential price contagion and volatility to the entire asset class. Debt
instruments with loss-absorption features may also be exposed to liquidity, valuation and sector concentration risk.
The Funds may invest in CoCos, which are highly complex and are of high risk. CoCos are a form of hybrid debt security
with loss-absorption features that are intended to either convert into equity shares of the issuer (potentially at a discounted
price) or have their principal written down (including permanently written down to zero) upon the occurrence of certain
‘triggers’ linked to regulatory capital thresholds or where the issuer ’s regulatory authorities considers this to be necessary.
The trigger event is linked to the financial position of the issuer and conversion would occur as a result of a deterioration in
the relative capital strength of the issuer. As a result, the value of the converted equity would be lower than the bond value
when issued or purchased. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity profile of the issuer can deteriorate significantly, and
a significant discount may be required in order to sell it. For the avoidance of doubt, convertible bonds where conversion is
beneficial to the holder (contingent or otherwise) are not subject to the same risks as described in this section “b. Additional
risk of investing in CoCos and other instruments with loss-absorption features”. Coupon payments on CoCos are
discretionary and may be cancelled by the issuer at any point, for any reason, and for any length of time. Some additional
risks associated with CoCos are set forth below:
Capital Structure Inversion Risk: Contrary to standard capital hierarchy, CoCo investors may suffer a loss of capital when
equity holders do not. In a standard capital structure equity holders are expected to suffer the first loss. This is less likely
with a CoCo whose trigger is activated when the capital ratio falls below a relatively low level when equity holders will already
have suffered loss, than in a high trigger CoCo (those whose trigger is activated when the capital ratio remains relatively
high).
The funds may also invest in senior non-preferred debts. While these instruments are generally senior to subordinated debts,
they may be subject to write-down upon the occurrence of a trigger event and will no longer fall under the creditor ranking
hierarchy of the issuer. This may result in total loss principal invested.
1. General
The funds may use various financial derivative instruments to reduce risks or costs or to generate additional capital or income
in order to meet their investment objectives. Financial derivative instruments may be used for investment purposes and/or
to implement more complex strategies, as further described in their respective investment objectives, depending on the
circumstances and the purposes for which the derivatives are used. Entering into financial derivatives instruments for
investment purposes may, to some extent, impact the risk profile of a fund.
Throughout this section and others that refer to derivatives, privately negotiated or non-exchange traded derivatives are
referred to as being ‘Over The Counter’, which is abbreviated to OTC.
Investors may wish to consult their independent financial adviser about the suitability of a particular fund for their investment
needs bearing in mind its powers with regard to the use of derivatives.
While the judicious use of derivative instruments by experienced investment advisers such as the Investment Manager can
be beneficial, derivative instruments also involve risks different from, and, in certain cases, greater than, the risks associated
with more traditional investments.
The following are important risk factors concerning the use of derivative instruments that investors should understand before
investing in these funds.
a. Valuation
Some derivative instruments, in particular OTC derivative instruments, do not have prices observable on an exchange
and so involve the use of formulae, with prices of underlying securities or reference benchmarks obtained from other
sources of market price data. OTC instruments involve the use of models, with assumptions, which increases the risk
of pricing errors. Improper valuations could result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss
of value to the relevant funds.
b. Liquidity
Liquidity risk exists when a particular instrument is difficult to purchase or sell at a given valuation. If a derivative
instrument transaction is particularly large or if the relevant market is illiquid (as can be the case with OTC
derivative instruments), it may not be possible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous price.
c. Basis
Basis risk is the risk of loss due to divergence between two rates or prices. Derivative instruments do not always
perfectly or even highly correlate with the assets, rates or indices they are designed to track. Consequently, the funds’
use of derivative instruments may not always be an effective means of, and sometimes could be counterproductive to,
furthering the funds’ investment objective. This applies particularly where an underlying position is hedged through
derivative contracts which may be similar to (but are not the same as) the underlying position.
d. Leverage
The use of derivatives may give rise to a form of leverage, which may cause the Net Asset Value of the relevant funds
to be more volatile and/or change by greater amounts than if they had not been leveraged. This is because leverage
tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the respective funds’ portfolio securities and
other instruments. The leverage element of a derivative can result in a loss significantly greater than the amount
invested in the derivatives by the relevant funds. Exposure to derivatives may lead to a high risk of significant loss by
the relevant funds.
e. Counterparty Credit
This is the risk that a loss may be sustained by a fund as a result of the failure of the other party to a derivative instrument
(usually referred to as a ‘counterparty’) to comply with the terms of the derivative instrument contract. The counterparty
credit risk for exchange-traded derivative instruments is generally less than for OTC derivative instruments, since the
clearing firm, which is the issuer or counterparty to each exchange-traded derivative instrument, provides a guarantee of
clearing. This guarantee is supported by a daily payment system (i.e. margin requirements) operated by the clearing firm
in order to reduce overall counterparty credit risk. Assets deposited as margin with the brokers and/or exchanges may not
be held in segregated accounts by these counterparties and may therefore become available to the creditors of such
counterparties in the event of default by them. For OTC derivative instruments, there is no similar clearing firm guarantee.
Therefore, the Investment Manager adopts a counterparty risk management framework which measures, monitors and
manages counterparty credit risk, taking into account both current and potential future credit exposure, through the use of
internal credit assessments and external credit agency ratings. OTC derivative instruments are not standardised. They are
an agreement between two parties and can therefore be tailored to the requirements of the parties involved. The
documentation risk is reduced by adhering to standard International Swaps and Derivatives Association
(“ISDA”) documentation.
A fund’s exposure to an individual counterparty shall not exceed 10% of the relevant fund’s net assets. Counterparty
credit risk may be further mitigated through the use of collateral agreements. However, collateral arrangements are still
subject to the insolvency risk and credit risk of the issuers or depositary of the collateral. Further, collateral thresholds
exist below which collateral is not called for and timing differences between calculating the need for collateral and its
receipt by the fund from the counterparty both mean that not all the current exposure will be collateralised.
f. Settlement
Settlement risk exists when derivatives are not settled in a timely manner, thereby increasing counterparty credit risk
prior to settlement and potentially incurring funding costs that would otherwise not be experienced. If settlement never
occurs the loss incurred by the fund will be the same as it is for any other such situation involving a security namely the
difference between the price of the original contract and the price of the replacement contract, or, in the case where
the contract is not replaced the absolute value of the contract at the time it is voided.
g. Legal
Derivative transactions are typically undertaken under separate legal arrangements. In the case of OTC derivatives, a
standard ISDA agreement is used to govern the trade between a fund and the counterparty. The agreement covers
situations such as a default of either party and also the delivery and receipt of collateral. As a result, there is a risk of
loss to the fund where liabilities in those agreements are challenged in a court of law.
2. Short Positions
A fund may take a position in which it expects to gain value in the event a particular asset loses value (‘shorting’) through
the use of derivatives. The fund is therefore exposed to the risk that the asset will rise, rather than fall, in value. Further, as
price rises are theoretically unlimited, the losses arising from such a position can theoretically be uncapped. However the
Investment Manager actively manages these positions in order to limit the realised and potential losses.
Instrument Risks
Credit Default Swaps (CDS) The swap contract is an agreement between two parties and therefore each party bears the other’s
counterparty credit risk. Collateral is arranged to mitigate this risk. The documentation risk for CDS is
reduced by adhering to standard ISDA documentation. The liquidity of a CDS may be worse than the
liquidity of the underlying security or securities in the basket and this may adversely affect the ability to
close out a CDS position or the price at which such a close out is transacted.
Foreign Exchange Forward To the extent that such contracts are used to hedge foreign (non-base) currency exposures back to
Contracts the base currency of the fund, there is a risk that the hedge may not be perfect and movements in its
value may not exactly offset the change in value of the currency exposure being hedged. Since the
gross amounts of the contract are exchanged on the specified date, there is a risk that if the
counterparty with whom the contract has been agreed goes into default between the time of payment
by the fund but before receipt by the fund of the amount due from the counterparty, then the fund will
be exposed to the counterparty credit risk of the amount not received and the entire principal of a
transaction could be lost.
Forward Contracts and Contracts The main risk to the buyer or seller of such contracts is the change in value of the underlying security.
for Difference When the value of the underlying security changes, the value of the contract becomes positive or
negative. Further, the two parties must bear each other’s credit risk, which is not the case with a futures
contract and collateral is arranged to mitigate this risk. Also, since these contracts are not exchange
traded, there is no marked-to-market margin requirement, which allows a buyer to avoid almost all
capital outflow initially.
Futures The main risk to the buyer or seller of an exchange-traded future is the change in value of the underlying
reference index/security/contract/bond.
Inflation Swaps The market risk of this type of instrument is driven by the change in the reference benchmarks used
for the two legs of the transaction, one of which will be an inflation benchmark. This is an agreement
between two parties and so can be tailored to the requirements of the parties involved. Consequently
each party bears the other’s credit risk and collateral is arranged to mitigate this risk.
Interest Rate Swaps The market risk of this type of instrument is driven by the change in the reference benchmarks used
for the fixed and floating legs. An interest rate swap is an OTC agreement between two parties and so
can be tailored to the requirements of the parties involved. Consequently each party bears the other’s
credit risk and collateral is arranged to mitigate this risk.
Put/Call Options and Warrants The most significant contributor to market risk resulting from options is the market risk associated with
the underlying when the option has an intrinsic value (i.e. it is ‘in-the-money’), or the strike price is near
the price of the underlying (‘near-the-money’). In these circumstances the change in value of the
underlying will have a significant influence on the change in value of the option. The other variables
will also have an influence, which will likely to be greater the further away the strike price is from the
price of the underlying.
For OTC options the two parties must bear each other’s credit risk and collateral is arranged to mitigate
this risk. The liquidity of an OTC option can be less than an exchange traded option and this may
adversely affect the ability to close out the option position, or the price at which such a close out is
transacted.
Swaptions A swaption comprises risks associated with interest rate swaps and option contracts. A swaption is an OTC
agreement between two parties and so can be tailored to the requirements of the parties involved.
Consequently each party bears the other’s credit risk and collateral is exchanged to mitigate this risk.
Total Return Swaps (TRS) These contracts may be less liquid than interest rate swaps as there is no standardisation of the
underlying reference benchmark and this may adversely affect the ability to close out a TRS position
or the price at which such a close out is transacted.
The swap contract is an agreement between two parties and therefore each party bears the other’s
counterparty credit risk and collateral is arranged to mitigate this risk. The documentation risk for TRS
is reduced by adhering to standard ISDA documentation.
contribute to tracking differences. The Investment Manager will monitor and seek to manage such risk in minimising
tracking difference. There can be no assurance of exact or identical replication at any time of the performance of the
index.
b. Passive Investment Risk
For funds that are passively managed, the Investment Manager will not have the discretion to adapt to market changes
due to the inherent investment nature of such funds. Falls in the index are expected to result in corresponding falls in
the value of such funds.
4. Cash Funds
An investment in Cash funds is neither insured nor guaranteed by any government, government agencies or government-
sponsored agencies or any bank guarantee fund. Shares in Cash funds are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or
endorsed by, any bank and the amount invested in Shares may fluctuate up and/or down. Although the Fund seeks to maintain
capital value and liquidity whilst producing a return in line with money market rates to the investor, Cash funds do not guarantee
a stable Net Asset Value. All investments are subject to credit and counterparty risk and provide limited potential for capital
appreciation and generally lower income than investments in medium- or long-term instruments would. Furthermore, the
performance of Cash funds may be affected by changes in money market rates, economic and market conditions and in legal,
regulatory and tax requirements. In a low interest rate environment or during adverse market conditions, Cash funds may invest
in negative yield instruments which may adversely impact the Net Asset Value of the fund.
The Investment Manager believes the impact of Sustainability Risks on cash funds is likely to be limited given the short-term
horizon of money market eligible securities. It is not anticipated that any single Sustainability Risk will drive a material negative
financial impact on the value of any cash fund.
5. Sustainable Investing
a) The Investment Manager considers that Sustainability Risks are relevant to the returns of the Fund.
The identification of Sustainability Risks and their likely impact is performed on the holdings of a given portfolio. For investments
relating to individual companies (e.g. bonds, equities), this assessment is made on the basis of the company’s sector
categorisation and their business model (e.g. carbon emissions for construction companies; ethics and culture for finance
companies) in combination with regular dialogue between analysts, portfolio managers and the ESG team. Where a fund does
not have exposure directly to the underlying fund holdings, the assessment is made at both a fund level (where there is the
potential for ESG input in the strategy (this would, for example, exclude passive funds tracking a broad market index) and, where
possible, by performing analysis on the underlying fund holdings which provides an understanding of the potential Sustainability
Risk exposures.
This approach permits a full materiality assessment to understand the potential impact on financial returns following the
materialisation of a Sustainability Risk. The identified Sustainability Risks and their likely impact are described in the relevant risk
warnings under “Risk Factors”, Part I (1.2) of the Prospectus.
Failure to effectively manage these risks can lead to a deterioration in financial outcomes. Specific risks will vary in materiality
across different sectors and business models, and companies may also be exposed to risks throughout value chains, including
suppliers and customers.
The materialisation of a Sustainability Risk is considered to be a sustainable risk event. In the case of such an event there may
be an impact on the returns of the fund due to i) direct losses of the impacted investments following such an event (where the
effects may be immediate or gradual), or ii) losses incurred due to rebalancing the portfolio following such an event in order to
maintain the sustainable characteristics of the fund deemed relevant by the Investment Manager.
b) In addition to 5(a) above, this section applies to funds subject to the disclosure requirements of article 8 of SFDR that will use
ESG (as defined under section 1.3 “General approach to sustainable investing” below or in the investment objective of each of
these funds) criteria provided by internal research teams and complemented by external ESG rating providers to form an
assessment of a security’s sustainable characteristics. The Investment Manager’s focus on securities of issuers which maintain
sustainable characteristics may affect the fund’s investment performance and may result in a return that at times compares
unfavourably to similar funds without such focus. Sustainable characteristics used in a fund’s investment policy may result in such
fund foregoing opportunities to buy certain securities when it might otherwise be advantageous to do so, and/or selling securities
due to their sustainable characteristics when it might be disadvantaged to do so. Over the short term, focus on securities of issuers
which maintain sustainable characteristics may affect the fund’s investment performance favourably or unfavourably in
comparison to similar funds without such focus. Over the long term, we expect such a focus to have a favourable effect, though
this is not guaranteed. Nevertheless, the application of ESG criteria may restrict the ability of a fund to acquire or dispose of its
investments at the expected price and time, which may result in a loss for such fund. In addition, the ESG characteristics of
securities may change over time, which may in some cases require the Investment Manager disposing of such securities when it
might be disadvantageous to do so from a financial perspective only. This may lead to a fall in the value of the fund. The use of
ESG criteria may also result in a fund being concentrated in companies with ESG focus when compared to other funds having a
more diversified portfolio of investments.
There is a lack of standardised taxonomy of ESG evaluation methodology and the way in which different funds will apply ESG
criteria may vary, as there are not yet commonly agreed principles and metrics for assessing the sustainable characteristics of
investments made by funds. In evaluating a security based on sustainable characteristics, the Investment Manager is dependent
upon information and data sources provided by internal research teams and complemented by external ESG rating providers,
which may be incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable. Consequently, there is a risk that the Investment Manager may incorrectly
assess a security or issuer. Evaluation of sustainable characteristics of the securities and selection of such securities may involve
the Investment Manager’s subjective judgment. As a result, there is a risk that the relevant sustainable characteristics may not be
applied correctly or that a fund could have indirect exposure to issuers who do not meet the relevant sustainable characteristics
applied by such fund. In the event that the sustainable characteristics of a security held by a fund change, resulting in the
Investment Manager having to sell the security, neither the fund, the Management Company nor the Investment Manager accept
liability in relation to such change. No representation nor warranty is made with respect to the fairness, accuracy or completeness
of such sustainable characteristics. The status of a security’s sustainable characteristics can change over time.
Further, due to the bespoke nature of the sustainable assessment process there is a risk that not all relevant Sustainability Risks
will be taken into account, or that the materiality of a Sustainability Risk is different to what is experienced following a sustainable
risk event.
c) As detailed in the investment objective for Fidelity Funds - Euro STOXX 50® Fund, the fund uses an ‘index tracking’ (also
known as ‘passive’) investment management approach whereby it aims to replicate the composition of the EURO STOXX 50®
Index (the ‘Index’). Accordingly, the Investment Manager does not currently integrate Sustainability Risks into its security selection
process as the securities to which the fund will take exposure are solely driven by the constituents of the Index and the Investment
Manager is constrained by this. Accordingly, the identified Sustainability Risks and their likely impact as described in the relevant
risk warnings under “Risk Factors”, Part I (1.2) of the Prospectus do not apply for this fund.
6. Income-producing securities
Although a fund will generally invest in income-producing securities, it is not guaranteed that all underlying investments will
generate income. To the extent that underlying investments of the fund are income producing, higher yields generally mean
that there will be:
(i) reduced potential for capital appreciation for equity securities; and
(ii) increased potential for capital appreciation and / or depreciation for fixed income securities.
composition and effectiveness, management incentives, management quality and alignment of management with
shareholders.
Failure to effectively manage these risks can lead to a deterioration in financial outcomes as well as a negative impact on
society and the environment.
Fidelity considers Sustainability Risks across all asset classes and funds, unless otherwise stated. Sustainability Risks refers to
an environmental (E), social (S) or governance (G) (collectively, “ESG”) event, or condition that, if it occurs, could cause an actual
or a potential material negative impact on the value of the investment.
The approach to Sustainability Risk integration seeks to identify and assess the ESG risks at an individual issuer level.
Sustainability Risks which may be considered by Fidelity’s investment teams include, but are not limited to:
Fidelity’s portfolio managers and analysts supplement the study of financial results of potential investments with additional
qualitative and quantitative non-financial (or non-fundamental) analysis including ESG risks and will factor them into investment
decision making and risk monitoring to the extent they represent potential or actual material risks and/or opportunities to maximise
long-term risk-adjusted returns.
This systematic integration of ESG risks in investment analysis and decision-making relies on:
- “qualitative assessments”, which will be by reference, but not limited, to case studies, environmental, social and
governance impacts associated with issuers, product safety documents, customer reviews, company visits or data from
proprietary models and local intelligence; and
- “quantitative assessments”, which will be by reference to ESG ratings which may be from external providers, including
but not limited to MSCI, or an internal rating assigned by the Investment Manager primarily using Fidelity Sustainability
Ratings (described below), relevant data in third-party certificates or labels, assessment reports on carbon footprints,
or percentage of revenue or profits of issuers generated from ESG-relevant activities.
However, it should be noted that while ESG risks are considered systematically no one aspect (including ESG ratings) would
prevent the portfolio manager from making any investment as investment decisions remain discretionary.
Fidelity Sustainability Ratings is a proprietary rating system developed by Fidelity’s research analysts to assess individual issuers.
Those ratings score issuers on an A-E scale on sector-specific factors and a trajectory forecast based on an assessment of
expected change of an issuer’s sustainability characteristics over time. Such ratings are based on fundamental bottom-up research
and materiality assessment using criteria specific to the industry of each issuer relevant to material ESG issues (the ‘Fidelity
Sustainability Rating’). Any material differences between Fidelity Sustainability Ratings and relevant external third party ESG
ratings are examined and contribute to analysis and discussion within Fidelity’s investment teams as part of the assessment of
the investment opportunity and its related ESG risks. ESG ratings and associated ESG data are maintained on a centralised
research platform operated by the Investment Manager. The provision and sourcing of ESG data is reviewed on a regular basis
to ensure its continuing suitability, adequacy and effectiveness for the ongoing assessment of Sustainability Risks.
Fidelity’s Multi Asset Research team aim to understand an individual manager’s approach to ESG by evaluating how far ESG
considerations are integrated within the investment process and philosophy, the analyst’s financial analysis and the composition
of the portfolio. They consider how ESG factors are integrated into the investment policy of the strategy, and, where proprietary
ratings are used, how ESG research and output is evidenced in individual security weights and any applicable engagement and
exclusion policies. The team consults a range of data sources, including Fidelity Sustainability Ratings as well as third-party data,
in order to assess the ESG metrics of the relevant strategies.
Where the Investment Manager has sub-delegated investment management activities in respect of the assets of a fund to Fidelity
Management & Research Company LLC or FIAM LLC, such sub-delegate avails of the expertise of its own ESG team for the
provision of fundamental analysis with sector relative ESG ratings information to identify and assess Sustainability Risks. Sector
relative ratings are provided on a current basis by the ESG team with input from fundamental analysts using materiality factors,
direct company data and quantitative models, and a forward-looking basis by the fundamental analysts with input from corporate
sustainability reports, the ESG team and company engagement.
Where the Investment Manager has sub-delegated investment management activities in respect of the assets of a fund to Geode
Capital Management, LLC, such sub-delegate implements its own ESG programme through proxy voting and participation in
collective company engagement initiatives, and may seek to invest assets of the fund in holdings or instruments which provide
passive exposure to an index incorporating ESG exclusionary criteria within its index methodology.
The Sustainable Investing Policy and activities are overseen by the Fidelity Sustainable Investing Operating Committee (the
‘SIOC’). The SIOC is responsible for setting the policies and objectives of Fidelity as they relate to sustainable investing and
oversee the implementation and delivery of these policies and objectives. This committee is comprised of Fidelity senior executives
from across Fidelity’s business units, including the Global Head of Stewardship and Sustainable Investing. In addition, the SIOC
is responsible for the conduct, oversight and execution of Fidelity’s ownership rights in investee issuers, including engagement
and proxy voting activities.
The general approach for sustainability risk integration set out above applies to all funds within Fidelity Funds subject to the
disclosure requirements of article 6 of the SFDR (i.e., all funds other than Fidelity Funds - Euro STOXX 50® Fund). As detailed in
the investment objective for Fidelity Funds - Euro STOXX 50® Fund, this fund aims to track the composition and returns of the
Index as closely as possible. Accordingly, the Investment Manager does not integrate sustainability risks into its security selection
process as the securities held by the fund are determined by the constituents of the Index and the Investment Manager is
constrained by this. As part of Fidelity’s commitment to responsible investing and enacting Fidelity’s fiduciary responsibility, as
shareholders Fidelity engage with the companies in which it invests to encourage sustainable and responsible corporate behaviour,
as further described in Fidelity’s Sustainable Investing Policy.
Funds subject to the disclosure requirements of article 8 of the SFDR (as specified in the Notes to the investment objective for the
relevant funds) are subject to stricter sustainable requirements described below.
Where provided for in their investment objective, certain funds may seek to achieve their investment objectives while promoting,
among other characteristics, environmental or social characteristics, or a combination of those characteristics. The criteria for this
approach are set out below and apply to all funds subject to the disclosure requirements of article 8 of the SFDR (as specified in the Notes
to the investment objective for the relevant fund), except those which are part of Fidelity’s Sustainable Family and are thus subject to the
Fidelity Sustainable Family Framework (described in paragraph (b) below).
The Investment Manager considers a wide range of environmental and social characteristics on an ongoing basis for each fund, as set
out below or in each relevant fund’s investment objective, but the Investment Manager has the discretion to implement enhanced, stricter
sustainable characteristics and exclusions from time to time.
- A minimum of 50% of a fund’s net assets are invested in securities deemed to maintain sustainable characteristics.
o Sustainable characteristics are defined by reference to a combination of different measurements such as ESG
ratings provided by external agencies or Fidelity Sustainability Ratings. Further details on the methodology applied
are set out at https://fidelityinternational.com/sustainable-investing-framework/ and may be updated from time to
time.
- The norms-based screening includes issuers which the Investment Manager considers have failed to conduct their business
in accordance with accepted international norms, including as set out in the United Nations Global Compact.
- All funds managed by the Investment Manager are subject to a firm-wide exclusions list, which includes, but is not limited to,
cluster munitions and anti-personnel landmines.
- Through the investment management process, the Investment Manager aims to ensure that investee companies follow good
governance practices.
Certain funds are part of the Fidelity Sustainable Family, a dedicated fund range exhibiting enhanced sustainable characteristics. This is
noted in the investment objective of the relevant funds. All the funds in the Fidelity Sustainable Family comply with the Fidelity Sustainable
Family Framework, as detailed below. Fund specific additional requirements and exclusions will also be set out in the relevant investment
objective, where applicable. The Investment Manager for funds in the Fidelity Sustainable Family also has discretion to implement
additional sustainable requirements and exclusions having regard to their applicable investment process from time to time.
- A minimum of 70% of a fund’s net assets are invested in securities deemed to maintain sustainable characteristics.
o Sustainable characteristics are defined by reference to a combination of different measurements such as ESG
ratings provided by external agencies or Fidelity Sustainability Ratings. Further details on the methodology applied
are set out at https://fidelityinternational.com/sustainable-investing-framework/ and may be updated from time to
time.
- A maximum of 30% of a fund’s net assets are allowed in issuers that are not deemed to maintain sustainable characteristics
in accordance with the criteria above, but which demonstrate improving sustainable indicators. Improving sustainable indicators
are issuers classified as such through the trajectory outlook of Fidelity Sustainability Ratings or issuers which in the view of the
Investment Manager demonstrate the potential for improvement through the implementation and execution of a formal
engagement plan. The criteria used to determine this reference rating may change over time and will be updated at
https://fidelityinternational.com/sustainable-investing-framework/ accordingly.
- Funds adhere to an enhanced principle-based exclusion policy incorporating both norms-based screening and negative
screening of certain sectors, companies or practices based on specific ESG criteria to be determined by the Investment
Manager from time to time.
o The norms-based screening includes issuers which the Investment Manager considers have failed to conduct their
business in accordance with accepted international norms, including as set out in the United Nations Global
Compact.
o The negative screening includes issuers which have exposure, or ties, to:
Unless otherwise specified in its investment objective, each Equity fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in UCITS and UCIs.
The Equity funds 1 are actively managed and do not seek to replicate or track the performance of any index. However, as part of the Equity
funds’ active allocation policy, the Investment Manager may invest a portion of their assets from time to time in holdings and instruments
which provide passive exposure, such as ETFs, futures, total return swaps, and swaps/options on an index. All Equity funds may use
financial derivative instruments provided (a) they are economically appropriate in that they are realised in a cost-effective way, (b) they
are entered into for one or more of (i) reduction of risk, (ii) reduction of cost and (iii) generation of additional capital or income for the Equity
funds (including for investment purposes) with a level of risk which is consistent with the risk profile of the relevant Equity fund(s) and the
risk diversification rules laid down in Part V. (5.1, A. III) of the Prospectus, and (c) their risks are adequately captured by the risk
management process of the Fund.
Financial derivative instruments such as futures, contracts for difference and equity swaps may be used to synthetically replicate the
performance of a single stock, basket or index of equity securities. Options such as puts, calls and warrants may be used to afford funds
the right or obligation to buy or sell equity at a predetermined value and thereby either generate capital growth, income, or reduce risk.
Forwards, non-deliverable forwards and currency swaps may also be used to manage currency exposures within a fund. Financial
derivative instruments may be over-the-counter (“OTC”) and/or exchange traded instruments.
Unless otherwise specified in the notes to a fund under the title “Global Exposure”, the method used to calculate the global exposure
relating to financial derivative instruments is the commitment approach (please refer to Part V, 5.1., D. of the Prospectus for further details).
While the judicious use of financial derivative instruments may be beneficial, financial derivative instruments also involve risks different
from, and, in certain cases greater than the risks presented by more traditional investments. The use of financial derivative instruments
may cause the Share price to be more volatile. For a further description of risks relating to the use of financial derivative instruments
please refer to “Risk Factors”, Part I (1.2) of the Prospectus. Certain Equity funds will be referred herein as “Equity Income funds”. While
pursuing the same investment policy, these funds will intend to provide higher income than the other Equity funds.
The Equity funds intend for the purpose of Efficient Portfolio Management to engage into repurchase and reverse of repurchase
agreements and in securities lending transactions as further disclosed under Part V, section E. “Securities Lending and Borrowing and
Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Transactions”. They will not enter into margin lending transactions. Equity funds also intend to
use total return swaps (including CFDs) as further disclosed under the same section of the Prospectus.
For further details on the maximum and expected use by each fund of such transactions please refer to Appendix III to this Prospectus.
For the funds that are specifically allowed by their investment objective to make direct investments in China A Shares, such investments
may be made through the QFII status of FIL Investment Management (Hong Kong) Limited and/or any permissible means available to
the funds under prevailing laws and regulations (including through the Stock Connect or any other eligible means) and are subject to
country specific investment restrictions for the funds registered in certain jurisdictions as stated in Part V, Section 5.3, of the Prospectus.
Investor Profile
Equity funds may be suitable for investors who wish to participate in equity markets while being prepared to accept the risks described
for each Equity fund under “Risk Factors”, Part I (1.2) of the Prospectus. Investment in an Equity fund can be regarded as a medium or
long-term investment.
The investment objective for each Equity fund stated below must be read together with the further information set out in the above
section.

references the Index for the purpose of setting internal guidelines. These guidelines
represent overall levels of exposure relative to the Index and do not imply that the fund
will invest in the Index constituents. Where the fund invests in securities that are
included in the Index, its allocation to those securities is likely to differ from the Index
allocation. The Investment Manager has a wide range of discretion with regards to the
investment selection and may invest in companies, sectors, countries and security
types not included in the Index in order to take advantage of investment opportunities.
It is expected that over long time periods, the fund’s performance will differ from the

The largest ten holdings/securities held in the fund’s portfolio may account for 50% or
more of the fund’s Net Asset Value, resulting in a reasonably concentrated portfolio.
As well as investing directly in equity and fixed income securities, the fund will also

the fund, derivatives (such as options) may be used to generate additional income. The
types of financial derivative instrument that will be used include index, basket or single

Options used will include put and call options including covered call options. The
generation of additional income for example, through covered call options may impact
the fund’s potential for capital growth, particularly in periods of rapidly rising markets

characteristics include but are not limited to climate change mitigation and adaptation,
water and waste management, biodiversity, while social characteristics include but are not
limited to product safety, supply chain, health and safety and human rights. Environmental
and social characteristics are analysed by Fidelity’s fundamental analysts and rated
through Fidelity Sustainability Ratings.
The fund is actively managed. The Investment Manager will, when selecting investments
for the fund and for the purposes of monitoring risk, reference MSCI ACWI Index (the
“Index”) as the Index constituents are representative of the type of companies the fund
invests in. The fund’s performance can be assessed against its Index.
The Investment Manager has a wide range of discretion relative to the Index. While the
fund will hold assets that are components of the Index, it may also invest in companies,
countries or sectors that are not included in, and that have different weightings from, the
Index in order to take advantage of investment opportunities. It is expected that over
long time periods, the fund’s performance will differ from the Index. However, over short
time periods, the fund’s performance may be close to the Index, depending on market
conditions.
Shareholders’ attention is drawn to the fact that the Index is not an index which integrates
environmental and social considerations. Instead, the fund promotes environmental and
social characteristics by adhering to the Fidelity Sustainable Investing Framework, as
described above.
Portfolio Information:
The Investment Manager will actively select individual equity securities based on their
potential to generate income and capital growth.
The Investment Manager is free to select equity securities of any company and is not
restricted in its discretion to tactically allocate to any particular geographical region,
industry sector or companies with a particular market capitalization if it believes that,
relative to other equities, they may offer greater potential for income and capital growth.
Asset Allocation funds may use financial derivative instruments to manage risks, generate income or capital growth associated with the
asset classes in which they invest. Financial derivative instruments may be over-the-counter (“OTC”) and/or exchange traded instruments.
Financial derivative instruments referencing underlying equity assets, such as futures, contracts for difference and equity swaps may be
used to synthetically replicate the performance of a single stock, basket or index of equity securities. Options such as puts, calls and
warrants may be used to afford funds the right to buy or sell equity at a predetermined value and thereby either generate income, capital
growth or reduce risk.
Financial derivative instruments referencing underlying fixed income assets or components thereof may be used by Asset Allocation
funds to (i) increase or reduce exposure to interest rate risk (including inflation) through the use of interest rate or bond futures,
options and interest rate, total return or inflation swaps, (ii) buy or sell part or all of the credit risk relating to single issuer, or multiple
issuers referenced in a basket or index through the use of bond futures, options, credit default and total return swaps and (iii)
hedge, reduce or increase exposure to currencies through the use of forwards, including non-deliverable forwards and currency
swaps.
Financial derivative instruments may also be used to replicate the performance of a security or asset class (e.g. commodity indexes
or property). Other strategies may include positions that benefit from a decline in value or that give exposure to certain elements
of returns of a particular issuer or asset in order to provide returns that are unrelated to those of the general market or positions
that would not have been available without the use of financial derivative instruments.
Unless otherwise specified in the notes to a fund under the title “Global Exposure”, the method used to calculate the global
exposure relating to financial derivative instruments is the commitment approach (please refer to Part V, 5.1., D. of the Prospectus
for further details).
For funds which global exposure is monitored using the VaR methodology, leverage is determined using the sum of the notionals
(expressed as a sum of positive values) of all financial derivatives instruments used. Shareholders should be aware that (i) a higher
level of expected leverage does not automatically infer a higher level of investment risk; and (ii) the expected level of leverage may
include leverage generated by the use of derivatives for hedging purposes.
While the judicious use of financial derivative instruments may be beneficial, financial derivative instruments also involve risks
different from, and, in certain cases greater than the risks presented by more traditional investments. The use of financial derivative
instruments may cause the Share price to be more volatile. For a further description of risks relating to the use of financial derivative
instruments please refer to “Risk Factors”, Part I (1.2) of the Prospectus.
The Asset Allocation funds intend for the purpose of Efficient Portfolio Management to engage into repurchase and reverse of
repurchase agreements and in securities lending transactions as further disclosed under Part V, section E. “Securities Lending and
Borrowing and Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Transactions”. They will not enter into margin lending transactions. Asset
Allocation funds also intend to use total return swaps (including CFDs) as further disclosed in under the same section of the
Prospectus..
For further details on the maximum and expected use by each fund of such transactions please refer to Appendix III to this
Prospectus.
Investor Profile
Asset Allocation funds may be suitable for investors who wish to participate in capital markets while being prepared to accept the
risks described for each Asset Allocation fund under “Risk Factors”, Part I (1.2) of the Prospectus. Investment in an Asset Allocation
fund can be regarded as a medium or long-term investment.
The investment objective for each Asset Allocation fund stated below must be read together with the further information set out in

The fund is subject to the disclosure
requirements of article 8 of the SFDR.
The Bond funds may pay fixed or variable coupons, whereby the variable element may be derived from prevailing market interest rates
or the performance of other assets (e.g. asset-backed securities). Unless otherwise specified in its investment objective, securitised
and/or collateralised securities (e.g. asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities) will not exceed 20% of the net assets of
each fund, provided that such limit will not apply to investments in such securities issued or guaranteed by the United States government
or United States government sponsored entities. The repayment of a bond may have a fixed date or may be subject to some issuer
discretion (e.g. some mortgage bonds). The Bond funds may invest in bonds that have conversion or subscription rights to other assets
attached to them (e.g. convertible bonds and CoCos) and hybrids. Not all bonds or debt instruments will have been rated by one or several
rating agencies; some may have a below investment grade rating. Unless otherwise stated in the investment objective of a fund, there
is no limit on the exposures to investment grade securities.
Any reference in this section to investment grade securities shall mean securities with a rating of BBB- or higher from Standard &
Poor’s or equivalent rating from an internationally recognised rating agency (in case of divergent ratings, the worst of the best two
credit ratings applies). Unless otherwise specified in its investment objective, sub investment grade or high yielding securities will not
exceed 20% of the net assets of each fund.
Any reference in this section to sub investment grade or high yielding securities shall mean securities with a rating of BB+ or less
from Standard & Poor’s or equivalent rating from an internationally recognised rating agency (in case of divergent ratings, the
worst of the best two credit ratings applies).
In selecting bond securities, several factors are considered in the investment process; for example, consideration may include,
but is not limited to, a company’s financials, including revenue and profit growth, balance sheet health and positioning, cash flows,
and other financial measures. In addition, company management, industry and economic environment, and other factors may be
considered in the investment process including non-financial criteria.
Where appropriate to implement their investment objective, the investments for all Bond funds may be made in bonds issued in
currencies other than the fund’s Reference Currency. The Investment Manager may choose to hedge currency exposures through
the use of instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts.
With due consideration given to the restrictions on investments required by applicable law and regulations and on an ancillary
basis, the Bond funds may further hold cash and cash equivalents (including Money Market Instruments and time deposits) up to
49% of their net assets. This percentage may exceptionally be exceeded if the Directors consider this to be in the best interests
of the Shareholders.
Unless otherwise specified in its investment objective, each Bond fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in UCITS and UCIs.
The Bond funds are actively managed and do not seek to replicate or track the performance of any index. However, as part of the Bond
funds’ active allocation policy, the Investment Manager may invest a portion of their assets from time to time in holdings and instruments
which provide passive exposure, such as ETFs, futures, total return swaps, and swaps/options on an index. All Bond funds may use
financial derivative instruments provided (a) they are economically appropriate in that they are realised in a cost-effective way,
(b) they are entered into for one or more of (i) reduction of risk, (ii) reduction of cost and (iii) generation of additional capital or
income for the Bond funds (including for investment purposes) with a level of risk which is consistent with the risk profile of the
relevant Bond fund(s) and the risk diversification rules laid down in Part V. (5.1, A. III) of the Prospectus, and (c) their risks are
adequately captured by the risk management process of the Fund.
Financial derivative instruments may be used to (i) increase or reduce exposure to interest rate risk (including inflation) through
the use of interest rate or bond futures, options, swaptions and interest rate, total return or inflation swaps, (ii) buy or sell part or
all of the credit risk relating to single issuers, or multiple issuers referenced in a basket or index through the use of options, credit
default and total return swaps and (iii) hedge, reduce or increase exposure to currencies through the use of forwards, including
non-deliverable forwards and currency swaps.
Financial derivative instruments may also be used to replicate the performance of physically held securities. Other fixed income
strategies may include positions that benefit from a decline in value or that give exposure to certain elements of returns of a
particular issuer or asset in order to provide returns that are unrelated to those of the general market or positions that would not
have been available without the use of financial derivative instruments. Financial derivative instruments may be over-the-counter
(“OTC”) and/or exchange traded instruments on underlying assets.
Unless otherwise specified in the notes to a fund under the title “Global Exposure”, the method used to calculate the global exposure
relating to financial derivative instruments is the commitment approach (please refer to Part V, 5.1., D. of the Prospectus for further details).
For funds which global exposure is monitored using the VaR methodology, leverage is determined using the sum of the notionals
(expressed as a sum of positive values) of all financial derivatives instruments used. Shareholders should be aware that (i) a higher
level of expected leverage does not automatically infer a higher level of investment risk; and (ii) the expected level of leverage may
include leverage generated by the use of derivatives for hedging purposes.
While the judicious use of financial derivative instruments may be beneficial, financial derivative instruments also involve risks different
from, and, in certain cases greater than the risks presented by more traditional investments. The use of financial derivative instruments
may cause the Share price to be more volatile. For a further description of risks relating to the use of financial derivative instruments
please refer to “Risk Factors”, Part I (1.2) of the Prospectus.
The Bond funds intend for the purpose of Efficient Portfolio Management to engage into repurchase and reverse of repurchase
agreements and in securities lending transactions as further disclosed under Part V, section E. “Securities Lending and Borrowing and
Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Transactions”. They will not enter into margin lending transactions. Bond funds also intend to
use total return swaps (including CFDs) as further disclosed in under the same section of the Prospectus.
For further details on the maximum and expected use by each fund of such transactions please refer to Appendix III to this Prospectus.
For the funds that are specifically allowed by their investment objective to make direct investments in China A Shares and/or onshore
China fixed income securities, such investments may, be made through the QFII status of FIL Investment Management (Hong Kong)
Limited, the Stock Connect, the China Interbank Bond Market direct access scheme, the Bond Connect and/or any permissible means
available to the funds under prevailing laws and regulations and are subject to country specific investment restrictions for the funds
registered in certain jurisdictions as stated in Part V, Section 5.3, of the Prospectus.
Investor Profile
Bond funds may be suitable for investors who wish to participate in debt markets while being prepared to accept the risks described for
each Bond fund under “Risk Factors”, Part I (1.2) of the Prospectus. Investment in a Bond fund can be regarded as a short, medium or
long-term investment.
The investment objective for each Bond fund stated below must be read together with the further information set out in the above
section.

Portfolio Information:
Corporate hybrids are highly subordinated debt securities and typically the last to be paid
in the event of insolvency. They generally do not have any conversion features but carry
equity-like features, for example, coupon payments may be deferred or cancelled at the
discretion of the issuer. CoCos are subordinated financial bonds meaning that the holder’s
claim on assets is ranked lower than senior debt in case of bankruptcy or liquidation of the
issuer, but normally higher than equity. Holders of subordinated financial bonds are the
first in the debt capital structure to absorb capital losses of the issuer. Depending on the
specific terms of the contingent convertible issue, if a predefined event occurs (for
example, if an issuer’s capital ratio or leverage breaches a pre-agreed threshold), the
contingent convertible will be converted into equity or partially written off or completely
written off or written off with the option of revaluation under certain circumstances if capital
levels are rebuilt. The conversion serves to bolster the capital base of the issuer in times
of stress. Other subordinated financial debt and preference shares may have no
conversion feature but rank behind senior debt in the case of insolvency.

Portfolio Information:
The fund may use financial derivative instruments, including complex financial derivative
instruments or strategies, to meet the investment objectives of the fund with a level of risk
which is consistent with the risk profile of the fund. Financial derivative instruments may be
used to create economic exposure to an asset akin to a physical holding of that asset. The
fund will use (i) interest rate swaps to actively manage the level of interest rate risk, (ii)
inflation swaps to eliminate unwanted, or pursue desired, inflation risks and (iii) currency
derivatives to hedge or gain exposure to currencies or replicate currency exposure of the
underlying securities of a bond index. The long and short active currency positions
implemented by the fund may not be correlated with the underlying securities positions
held by the fund.

The fund is actively managed. The Investment Manager will, when selecting investments
for the Fund and for the purposes of monitoring risk, consider the ICE BofA Q4AR Custom
Index (a custom USD Aggregate Bond index) (the “Index”) as the Index constituents best
represent the characteristics the fund is seeking to gain exposure to. When monitoring risk,
the Investment Manager references the Index for the purpose of setting internal guidelines.
These guidelines represent overall levels of exposure relative to the Index and do not imply
that the fund will invest in the Index constituents. Where the fund invests in securities that
are included in the Index its allocation to those securities is likely to differ from the Index
allocation. The Investment Manager has a wide degree of freedom relative to the Index
with regards to investment selection and it may invest in issuers, sectors, countries and
security types not included in the Index in order to take advantage of investment
opportunities. It is expected that over long time periods, the fund’s performance will differ
from the Index. However, over short time periods, the fund’s performance may be close to
the Index, depending on market conditions. The fund’s performance can be assessed
against its Index.
Shareholders’ attention is drawn to the fact that the Index is not an index which integrates
environmental and social considerations. Instead, the fund promotes environmental and
social characteristics by adhering to the Fidelity Sustainable Investing Framework, as
described above.

to some issuer discretion (e.g. some mortgage bonds). The Institutional Reserved Bond funds may invest in bonds that have conversion
or subscription rights to other assets attached to them (e.g. convertible bonds and CoCos) and hybrids. Not all bonds or debt instruments
will have been rated by one or several rating agencies; some may have a below investment grade rating. Unless otherwise stated in
the investment objective of a fund, there is no limit on the exposures to investment grade securities. For any remaining assets, the
Investment Manager has the freedom to invest outside the fund’s principal geographies, market sectors, credit quality, currency or asset
classes.
Unless otherwise specified in its investment objective, each Institutional Reserved Bond fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in
UCITS and UCIs.
The Institutional Reserved Bond funds are actively managed and do not seek to replicate or track the performance of any index.
However, as part of the Institutional Reserved Bond funds’ active allocation policy, the Investment Manager may invest a portion of their
assets from time to time in holdings and instruments which provide passive exposure, such as ETFs, futures, total return swaps, and
swaps/options on an index. All Institutional Reserved Bond funds may use financial derivative instruments provided (a) they are
economically appropriate in that they are realised in a cost-effective way, (b) they are entered into for one or more of (i) reduction of risk,
(ii) reduction of cost and (iii) generation of additional capital or income for the Institutional Reserved Bond funds (including for investment
purposes) with a level of risk which is consistent with the risk profile of the relevant Institutional Reserved Bond fund(s) and the risk
diversification rules laid down in Part V. (5.1, A. III) of the Prospectus, and (c) their risks are adequately captured by the risk management
process of the Fund.
Financial derivative instruments may be used to (i) increase or reduce exposure to interest rate risk (including inflation) through
the use of interest rate or bond futures, options, swaptions and interest rate, total return or inflation swaps, (ii) buy or sell part or
all of the credit risk relating to single issuer, or multiple issuers referenced in a basket or index through the use of options, credit
default and total return swaps and (iii) hedge, reduce or increase exposure to currencies through the use of forwards, including
non-deliverable forwards and currency swaps.
Financial derivative instruments may also be used to replicate the performance of physically held securities. Other fixed income
strategies may include positions that benefit from a decline in value or that give exposure to certain elements of returns of a
particular issuer or asset in order to provide returns that are unrelated to those of the general market or positions that would not
have been available without the use of financial derivative instruments. Financial derivative instruments may be over-the-counter

Financial derivative instruments such as futures, contracts for difference and equity swaps may be used to synthetically replicate the
performance of a single stock, basket or index of equity securities. Options such as puts, calls and warrants may be used to afford
funds the right or obligation to buy or sell equity at a predetermined value and thereby either generate capital growth, income, or
reduce risk. Forwards, non-deliverable forwards and currency swaps may also be used to manage currency exposures within a fund.

Shareholders’ attention is drawn to the fact that the Index is not an index which integrates
environmental and social considerations. Instead, the fund promotes environmental and
social characteristics by adhering to the Fidelity Sustainable Investing Framework, as
described above.

The Investment Manager has a wide range of discretion relative to the Index. While the
fund will hold assets that are components of the Index, it may also invest in companies,
countries or sectors that are not included in, and that have different weightings from, the
Index in order to take advantage of investment opportunities. It is expected that over long
time periods, the fund’s performance will differ from the Index. However, over short time
periods, the fund’s performance may be close to the Index, depending on market
conditions.
Unless otherwise specified in its investment objective, each Institutional Target fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in UCITS
and UCIs.
The Institutional Target funds are actively managed and do not seek to replicate or track the performance of any index. However, as
part of the Institutional Target funds’ active allocation policy, the Investment Manager may invest a portion of their assets from time to
time in holdings and instruments which provide passive exposure, such as ETFs, futures, total return swaps, and swaps/options on an
index. All Institutional Target funds may use financial derivative instruments provided (a) they are economically appropriate in that
they are realised in a cost-effective way, (b) they are entered into for one or more of (i) reduction of risk, (ii) reduction of cost and
(iii) generation of additional capital or income for the Institutional Target funds (including for investment purposes) with a level of
risk which is consistent with the risk profile of the relevant Institutional Target fund(s) and the risk diversification rules laid down in
Part V. (5.1, A. III) of the Prospectus, and (c) their risks are adequately captured by the risk management process of the Fund.
Financial derivative instruments may be used to replicate the performance of physically held securities. Financial derivative
instruments such as futures, contracts for difference and equity swaps may be used to synthetically replicate the performance of
a single stock, basket or index of equity securities. Options such as puts, calls and warrants may be used to afford funds the right
or obligation to buy or sell equity at a predetermined value and thereby either generate capital growth, income, or reduce risk.
Also, financial derivative instruments may be used to (i) increase or reduce exposure to interest rate risk (including inflation)
through the use of interest rate or bond futures, options, swaptions and interest rate, total return or inflation swaps, (ii) buy or sell
part or all of the credit risk relating to single issuer, or multiple issuers referenced in a basket or index through the use of options,
credit default and total return swaps and (iii) hedge, reduce or increase exposure to currencies through the use of forwards,
including non-deliverable forwards and currency swaps.
Other fixed income strategies may include positions that benefit from a decline in value or that give exposure to certain elements
of returns of a particular issuer or asset in order to provide returns that are unrelated to those of the general market or positions
that would not have been available without the use of financial derivative instruments. Financial derivative instruments may be
over-the-counter (“OTC”) and/or exchange traded instruments on underlying assets.
Unless otherwise specified in the notes to a fund under the title “Global Exposure”, the method used to calculate the global
exposure relating to financial derivative instruments is the commitment approach (please refer to Part V, 5.1., D. of the Prospectus
for further details).
While the judicious use of financial derivative instruments may be beneficial, financial derivative instruments also involve risks
different from, and, in certain cases greater than the risks presented by more traditional investments. The use of financial derivative
instruments may cause the Share price to be more volatile. For a further description of risks relating to the use of financial derivative
instruments please refer to “Risk Factors”, Part I (1.2) of the Prospectus.
The Institutional Target funds intend for the purpose of Efficient Portfolio Management to engage into repurchase and reverse of
repurchase agreements and in securities lending transactions as further disclosed under Part V, section E. “Securities Lending and
Borrowing and Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Transactions”. They will not enter into margin lending transactions. Institutional
Target funds also intend to use total return swaps (including CFDs) as further disclosed in under the same section of the Prospectus.
For further details on the maximum and expected use by each fund of such transactions please refer to Appendix III to this
Prospectus.
Investor Profile
Institutional Target funds may be suitable for Institutional Investors who wish to participate in capital markets while being prepared
to accept the risks described for each Institutional Target fund under “Risk Factors”, Part I (1.2) of the Prospectus. Investment in
an Institutional Target fund may suit investors that are willing to stay invested until the target date of the relevant fund.
The investment objective for each Institutional Target fund stated below must be read together with the further information set out
in the above section.

Classes of Shares and 2.2. Share Dealing in the Prospectus. Where this occurs, such fees would be expected to significantly
reduce the return to the Shareholder.
As the maturity of the fund approaches and, notwithstanding its investment objective, the fund may invest into Money Market
Instruments and / or other short term debt instruments including certificates of deposit, commercial paper and floating rate notes,
as well as in cash and cash equivalents.
After the maturity date is reached, the respective Fixed-Term Bond fund will be automatically liquidated, free of redemption fee. Following
termination of the fund and normally within ten Business Days the proceeds will automatically be returned to the Shareholder.
The Fixed-Term Bond funds may invest in, or achieve exposure to, bonds debt instruments or elements of their return (such as credit,
interest rate or foreign exchange elements). Such bonds or debt instruments can, among others, be issued by governments, agencies,
supra-nationals, private or publicly quoted companies, special purpose or investment vehicles, or trusts. They may pay fixed or variable
coupons, whereby the variable element may be derived from prevailing market interest rates or the performance of other assets (e.g.
asset-backed securities). Where the investment objective refers to assets such as companies of a particular country or region and in the
absence of any further specification, a company’s listing, incorporation, domicile, or principal business activities may be referenced in
the assessment. Unless otherwise specified in its investment objective, securitised and/or collateralised securities (e.g., asset-backed
securities and mortgage-backed securities) will not exceed 20% of the net assets of each fund, provided that such limit will not apply to
investments in such securities issued or guaranteed by the United States government or United States government sponsored entities.
The repayment of a bond may have a fixed date or may be subject to some issuer discretion (e.g. some mortgage bonds). The Fixed-
Term Bond funds may invest in bonds can have conversion or subscription rights to other assets attached to them (e.g. convertible bonds
and CoCos) and hybrids. Not all bonds or debt instruments will have been rated by one or several rating agencies; some may have a
below investment grade rating. Unless otherwise stated in the investment objective of a fund, there is no limit on the exposures to
investment grade securities.
Any reference in this section to investment grade securities shall mean securities with a rating of BBB- or higher from Standard &
Poor’s or equivalent rating from an internationally recognised rating agency (in case of divergent ratings, the worst of the best two
credit ratings applies).
Any reference in this section to sub investment grade or high yielding securities shall mean securities with a rating of BB+ or less
from Standard & Poor’s or equivalent rating from an internationally recognised rating agency (in case of divergent ratings, the
worst of the best two credit ratings applies).
Where appropriate to implement their investment objective, investments for all Fixed-Term Bond funds may be made in bonds
issued in currencies other than the fund’s Reference Currency. The Investment Manager will usually choose to hedge these
currencies, that is with the foreign exchange risk eliminated as far as possible, through the use of forward foreign exchange
contracts.
With due consideration given to the restrictions on investments required by applicable law and regulations and on an ancillary
basis, the Fixed-Term Bond funds may further hold cash and cash equivalents (including Money Market instruments and time
deposits) up to 49% of their net assets. This percentage may exceptionally be exceeded if the Directors consider this to be in the
best interests of the Shareholders.
Unless otherwise specified in its investment objective, each Fixed-Term Bond fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in UCITS and
UCIs.
The Fixed-Term Bond funds are actively managed and do not seek to replicate or track the performance of any index. However, as part
of the Fixed-Term Bond funds’ active allocation policy, the Investment Manager may invest a portion of their assets from time to time in

Fixed-Term Bond fund(s) and the risk diversification rules laid down in Part V. (5.1, A. III) of the Prospectus, and (c) their risks are
adequately captured by the risk management process of the Fund.
Financial derivative instruments may be used to (i) increase or reduce exposure to interest rate risk (including inflation) through the use
of interest rate or bond futures, options, swaptions and interest rate, total return or inflation swaps, (ii) buy or sell part or all of the credit
risk relating to single issuer, or multiple issuers referenced in a basket or index through the use of options, credit default and total return

repurchase agreements and in securities lending transactions as further disclosed under Part V, section E. “Securities Lending and
Borrowing and Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Transactions”. They will not enter into margin lending transactions. Fixed-Term
Bond funds also intend to use total return swaps (including CFDs) as further disclosed in under the same section of the Prospectus.
For further details on the maximum and expected use by each fund of such transactions please refer to Appendix III to this
Prospectus.
Investor Profile
Fixed-Term Bond funds may be suitable for investors who wish to participate in debt markets while being prepared to accept the risks
described for each Fixed-Term Bond fund under “Risk Factors”, Part I (1.2) of the Prospectus. Investment in a Fixed-Term Bond fund
may suit investors that are willing to stay invested until the maturity of the fund.
The investment objective for each Fixed-Term Bond fund stated below must be read together with the further information set out
in the above section.
- Defensive: assets with lower volatility and favouring capital stability e.g. government bonds;
- Yield: assets providing income with moderate growth and volatility e.g. high yield bonds and dividend stocks; and
- Growth: assets with the highest growth potential and volatility of the three categories e.g. equities.
The model then generates an allocation between these three asset groups based on the allocation which would efficiently maintain the
long term volatility within a predefined range (targeted (but not guaranteed) over the long term).
The Systematic Multi Asset Risk Targeted funds may invest in bonds or debt instruments which can, among others, be issued by
governments, agencies, supra-nationals, private or publicly quoted companies, special purpose or investment vehicles, or trusts. They
may pay fixed or variable coupons, whereby the variable element may be derived from prevailing market interest rates or the
performance of other assets (e.g. asset-backed securities). Where the investment objective refers to assets such as companies of a
particular country or region and in the absence of any further specification, a company’s listing, incorporation, domicile, or principal
business activities may be referenced in the assessment. Unless otherwise specified in its investment objective, securitised and/or
collateralised securities (e.g. asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities) will not exceed 20% of the net assets of each
fund, provided that such limit will not apply to investments in such securities issued or guaranteed by the United States government or
United States government sponsored entities. The repayment of a bond may have a fixed date or may be subject to some issuer
discretion (e.g. some mortgage bonds). The Systematic Multi Asset Risk Targeted funds may invest in bonds that can have conversion
or subscription rights to other assets attached to them (e.g. convertible bonds and CoCos) and hybrids. Not all bonds or debt instruments
will have been rated by one or several rating agencies; some may have a below investment grade rating. Unless otherwise stated in
the investment objective of a fund, there is no limit on the exposures to investment grade securities.
Unless stated in the investment objective of a Systematic Multi Asset Risk Targeted fund, the selection of a company for investment is
not restricted on the basis of market capitalisation or industry.
Unless otherwise specified in its investment objective, each Systematic Multi Asset Risk Targeted fund may invest up to 10% of its net
assets in UCITS and UCIs.
The Systematic Multi Asset Risk Targeted funds are actively managed and do not seek to replicate or track the performance of any
index. However, as part of the Systematic Multi Asset Risk Targeted funds’ active allocation policy, the Investment Manager may invest
a portion of their assets from time to time in holdings and instruments which provide passive exposure, such as ETFs, futures, total
return swaps, and swaps/options on an index. Systematic Multi Asset Risk Targeted funds may use financial derivative instruments
provided (a) they are economically appropriate in that they are realised in a cost-effective way, (b) they are entered into for one or more
of (i) reduction of risk, (ii) reduction of cost and (iii) generation of additional capital or income for Systematic Multi Asset Risk Targeted
funds with a level of risk which is consistent with the risk profile of the relevant Systematic Multi Asset Risk Targeted fund(s) and the
risk diversification rules laid down in Part V. (5.1, A. III) of the Prospectus, and (c) their risks are adequately captured by the risk
management process of the Fund 1.
Financial derivative instruments may include over-the-counter and/or exchange traded options, equity index, single stock, interest rate
and bond futures, contracts for difference, swaps (such as interest rate, credit default and inflation index swaps), forward contracts,
covered call options, derivatives on indices or a combination thereof. Cash or money market instruments may be used as collateral for
derivative positions, in which case, they will not be deemed as (i) cash held on an ancillary basis or (ii) as cash holdings to address
adverse market conditions.
Unless otherwise specified in the notes to a fund under the title “Global Exposure”, the method used to calculate the global exposure
relating to derivative instruments is the commitment approach (please refer to Part V, 5.1., D. of the Prospectus for further details). For
funds which global exposure is monitored using the VaR methodology, leverage is determined using the sum of the notionals (expressed
as a sum of positive values) of all financial derivatives instruments used. Shareholders should be aware that (i) a higher level of expected
leverage does not automatically infer a higher level of investment risk; and (ii) the expected level of leverage may include leverage
generated by the use of derivatives for hedging purposes.
While the judicious use of financial derivative instruments may be beneficial, financial derivative instruments also involve risks different
from, and, in certain cases greater than the risks presented by more traditional investments. The use of financial derivative instruments
may cause the Share price to be more volatile. For a further description of risks relating to the use of financial derivative instruments
please refer to “Risk Factors”, Part I (1.2) of the Prospectus.
The Systematic Multi Asset Risk Targeted funds intend for the purpose of Efficient Portfolio Management to engage into repurchase
and reverse of repurchase agreements and in securities lending transactions as further disclosed under Part V, section E. “Securities
Lending and Borrowing and Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Transactions”. They will not enter into margin lending transactions.
Systematic Multi Asset Risk Targeted funds also intend to use total return swaps (including CFDs) as further disclosed in under the
same section of the Prospectus.
For further details on the maximum and expected use by each fund of such transactions please refer to Appendix III to this Prospectus.
Systematic Multi Asset Risk Targeted funds rely on a model that aims to maintain long term average annualised volatility of each
Systematic Multi Asset Risk Targeted fund within the range disclosed in the relevant Systematic Multi Asset Risk Targeted fund’s
1 The use of financial derivatives instruments in line with these criteria is referred to as Efficient Portfolio Management under the Regulation of 2008
investment objective. There is no guarantee that the actual annualised volatility that the SMART model will procure over the long term
will be within those limits and accordingly there is a risk that actual volatility of the Net Asset Value may be higher than the target range
and that investors redeeming assets may suffer a loss thereby. There is also a risk that in targeting its volatility range a Systematic Multi
Asset Risk Targeted fund will not capture the full upside from rising markets as the target volatility model is designed to balance growth
and volatility and would not result in an allocation of all assets to any single market.
Systematic Multi Asset Risk Targeted funds’ target volatility strategy results an increased and more complex use of derivatives in
comparison to multi asset funds using derivatives purely for hedging or investment purposes. Systematic Multi Asset Risk Targeted
funds’ global exposure is therefore monitored under absolute VaR instead of commitment approach. Funds using absolute VaR may
have net leveraged exposure exceeding 100% of the Net Asset Value under the commitment approach and thereby may be considered
to offer increased leverage. Increased net leveraged exposure may result in increased volatility and losses for investors. For further
information, please refer to “High Leverage Risk” in the sub-section “Derivatives / Counterparty Related Risks” under section “1.2 Risk
Factors” in the Prospectus.
Investor Profile
Systematic Multi Asset Risk Targeted funds may be suitable for investors who wish to participate in capital markets while being prepared
to accept the risks described for each Systematic Multi Asset Risk Targeted fund under “Risk Factors”, Part I (1.2) of the Prospectus.
Investment in a Systematic Multi Asset Risk Targeted fund can be regarded as a short, medium or long-term investment.
The investment objective for each Systematic Multi Asset Risk Targeted fund stated below must be read together with the further
information set out in the above section.

After the maturity date is reached, the respective Multi Asset Target fund will be automatically liquidated, free of redemption fee.

Shareholder.
Multi Asset Target funds invest in a diversified portfolio of equities or related instruments (including derivatives), bonds, ancillary
cash and other assets (such as property or commodities), as described in their investment objective and Portfolio Information.
The Multi Asset Target funds may invest in, or achieve exposure to bonds, debt instruments or elements of their return (such as credit,
interest rate or foreign exchange elements). Such bonds or debt instruments can, among others, be issued by governments, agencies,
supra-nationals, private or publicly quoted companies, special purpose or investment vehicles, or trusts. They may pay fixed or variable
coupons, whereby the variable element may be derived from prevailing market interest rates or the performance of other assets (e.g.
asset-backed securities). Where the investment objective refers to assets such as companies of a particular country or region and in the
absence of any further specification, a company’s listing, incorporation, domicile, or principal business activities may be referenced in

Asset Target funds may invest in bonds can have conversion or subscription rights to other assets attached to them (e.g. convertible

Unless otherwise stated in the investment objective of a fund, there is no limit on the exposures to investment grade securities. Any
reference in this section to investment grade securities shall mean securities with a rating of BBB- or higher from Standard &
Poor’s or equivalent rating from an internationally recognised rating agency (in case of divergent ratings, the worst of the best two
credit ratings applies).
Any reference in this section to sub investment grade or high yielding securities shall mean securities with a rating of BB+ or less
from Standard & Poor’s or equivalent rating from an internationally recognised rating agency (in case of divergent ratings, the
worst of the best two credit ratings applies).
Unless otherwise specified in its investment objective, each Multi Asset Target fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in UCITS
and UCIs.
The Multi Asset Target funds are actively managed and do not seek to replicate or track the performance of any index. However, as
part of the Multi Asset Target funds’ active allocation policy, the Investment Manager may invest a portion of their assets from time to
time in holdings and instruments which provide passive exposure, such as ETFs, futures, total return swaps, and swaps/options on an

of the relevant Multi Asset Target fund(s) (including for investment purposes) and the risk diversification rules laid down in Part V.
(5.1, A. III) of the Prospectus, and (c) their risks are adequately captured by the risk management process of the Fund.
Multi Asset Target funds may use financial derivative instruments to manage risks, generate income or capital growth associated
with the asset classes in which they invest. Financial derivative instruments may be over-the-counter (“OTC”) and/or exchange
traded instruments.
Financial derivative instruments referencing underlying equity assets, such as futures, contracts for difference and equity swaps
may be used to synthetically replicate the performance of a single stock, basket or index of equity securities. Options such as
puts, calls and warrants may be used to afford funds the right to buy or sell equity at a predetermined value and thereby either
generate income, capital growth or reduce risk.
Financial derivative instruments referencing underlying fixed income assets or components thereof may be used by Multi Asset
Target funds to (i) increase or reduce exposure to interest rate risk (including inflation) through the use of interest rate or bond
futures, options and interest rate, total return or inflation swaps, (ii) buy or sell part or all of the credit risk relating to single issuer,
or multiple issuers referenced in a basket or index through the use of bond futures, options, credit default and total return swaps
and (iii) hedge, reduce or increase exposure to currencies through the use of forwards, including non-deliverable forwards and
currency swaps.
Financial derivative instruments may also be used to replicate the performance of a security or asset class (e.g. commodity indexes
or property). Other strategies may include positions that benefit from a decline in value or that give exposure to certain elements
of returns of a particular issuer or asset in order to provide returns that are unrelated to those of the general market or positions
that would not have been available without the use of financial derivative instruments.
Unless otherwise specified in the notes to a fund under the title “Global Exposure”, the method used to calculate the global
exposure relating to financial derivative instruments is the commitment approach (please refer to Part V, 5.1., D. of the Prospectus
for further details). For funds which global exposure is monitored using the VaR methodology, leverage is determined using the

While the judicious use of financial derivative instruments may be beneficial, financial derivative instruments also involve risks
different from, and, in certain cases greater than the risks presented by more traditional investments. The use of financial derivative
instruments may cause the Share price to be more volatile. For a further description of risks relating to the use of financial derivative

Mauritian Subsidiary:
Fidelity Funds may invest in the Indian securities market directly or through a wholly-owned Mauritian subsidiary
(the ’Subsidiary’). The Subsidiary is incorporated as a private company limited by shares under the laws of Mauritius, under
the name of FIL Investments (Mauritius) Limited (formerly Fid Funds (Mauritius) Limited). The shares of the Subsidiary are
only registered shares. The Subsidiary has initially received from the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius a Category
1 Global Business Licence. On 31 January 2013, the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius has authorised conversion
of this license to an Investment Holding company. Effective 1 January 2014, FIL Investment Management (Singapore)
Limited has entered into an Investment Management Agreement with the Subsidiary. Pursuant to this agreement,
FIL Investment Management (Singapore) Limited provides investment advisory and management services to the Subsidiary.
FIL Investments (Mauritius) Limited has renewed on 25 February 2019, its approval from the Securities and Exchange Board
of India (‘SEBI’) to invest in India as a Foreign Portfolio Investor (“FPI”) under Indian law. FIL Investments (Mauritius) Limited
is registered under the registration number INMUFP037316 and has been granted approval to invest in Indian securities.
The Subsidiary’s board of directors is as follows: Simon Fraser, Nishith Gandhi, Bashir Nabeebokus, Rooksana Bibi
Sahabally-Coowar and Jon Skillman.
The auditor of the Subsidiary is Deloitte Mauritius.
Designated Bank – Mauritius
Under the terms set forth by the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius, the Subsidiary must make all investments held
outside of Mauritius through a bank account maintained in Mauritius. The Subsidiary holds a bank account for this purpose
with HSBC Bank (Mauritius) Limited, Offshore Banking Unit, Mauritius.
Designated Bank – India
Under Indian law, the Subsidiary, as a non-Indian foreign investor, must use a designated remitting bank in India for all cash
transfers into and out of India. This remitting bank may have certain reporting requirements to the RBI with regard to the
handling of such transactions. The Subsidiary has appointed Citibank N.A. as its remitting bank in India.
This structure shall not prevent the Depositary from carrying out its legal duties.
Local Mauritian Administrator
The Subsidiary has appointed IQ EQ Services (Mauritius) Ltd to act as administrator, secretary and registrar to the
Subsidiary.
In respect of the Fund’s audited annual and unaudited semi-annual reports, the financial results of the Subsidiary are
consolidated with the financial results of the Fund. For the purpose of the investment restrictions set forth in the Prospectus,
the consolidated investments of the Fund and the Subsidiary are considered.
The Subsidiary incurs and pays certain fees and expenses relating to its investment activity in Indian securities. These fees
and expenses include brokerage costs and commissions, transaction costs associated with converting currency to and from
Indian Rupee from and to US Dollars, fees incurred by its standing proxy, corporate and registration fees and taxes
associated with the establishment and operation of the Subsidiary.
Any expenditure which is considered as capital in nature is not allowable for tax purposes.
The following is a summary of certain tax matters relating to the Fund and the Subsidiary. The summary is based upon
advice received by the Fund and the Subsidiary from advisers in India and Mauritius at the date of the Prospectus regarding
the current tax laws in India and Mauritius, the Tax Treaty and the prevailing practices of the relevant tax authorities, all of
which are subject to change. Any such change could increase the taxes paid by the Fund or the Subsidiary and adversely
affect the Fund’s returns. The Fund and its advisors are not liable for any loss which may arise for a Shareholder as result
of any change of the applicable tax laws or change in the interpretation by the Courts/tax authorities.
India
Tax implications – Subsidiary investing in India
The taxation of the Subsidiary in India is governed by the provisions of the Indian Income-tax Act, 1961 (ITA), read with the
provisions of the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) between India and Mauritius (Mauritius Treaty).
1. Taxability under the ITA:
a) Dividend:
Earlier,Indian companies declaring, distributing or paying dividends were required to pay Dividend Distribution
Tax (“DDT”) at an effective tax rate of 20.56% (including surcharge and education cess) on the dividend amount
and such dividend income was exempt in the hands of the Subsidiary.
b) However, with effect from April 1, 2020 dividends declared, distributed or paid by Indian companies are not
subject to payment of DDT and such dividends are taxable in the hands of the Subsidiary at an effective tax rate
of 21.84% as per section 115AD of the ITA. Indian companies will be required to withhold necessary taxes before
paying the dividend amount to the Subsidiary. Capital gains (other than gains on buy-back of shares):
Securities held by the Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable FPI regulations in India are regarded as
“capital assets’. Hence, the gains earned by the Subsidiary on disposal of its investments in India are
characterised as capital gains.
Depending on the period for which the securities are held, the gains would be taxable as short-term or long-term
capital gains.
Listed securities (other than units) / unit of More than 12 months Long Term Capital Asset
equity oriented fund/ unit of Unit Trust of India/ 12 months or less Short Term Capital Asset
zero coupon bond
Unlisted shares (including those offered More than 24 months Long Term Capital Asset

offer)
Other securities (unit of a non-equity oriented More than 36 months Long Term Capital Asset
fund / listed units of business trusts (REITs /
InvITs / any other unlisted securities) 36 months or less Short Term Capital Asset
Capital gains earned by the Subsidiary are taxable at the following rates:

• While computing long-term capital gains, the Finance Act 2018 has provided grand fathering for gains accrued
on listed shares held as on 31 January 2018, by rebasing the cost to higher of: Actual cost of acquisition; and
• Lower of:
o Fair market value as on 31 January 2018; and
o Value of consideration received upon transfer.
c) Capital gains on buy-back of shares:
Gains arising on buy-back of shares are exempt from tax in the hands of the shareholders. A distribution tax of
23.30% is payable by the Indian company undertaking the buy-back of shares on the difference between the
consideration paid by such company on buy-back and the amount received by the company at the time of issue
of such shares.
d) Interest:
Income received in respect of securities (other than dividend income but could include interest received in
respect of securities) would be taxable at 5.46% (if certain conditions are satisfied) or 21.84%. Capital gains
from Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (“FCCB”), ADRs and GDRs:
Capital gain arising from transfer of FCCBs, ADRs and GDRs outside India between two non-resident investors
should generally not be subject to tax in India.
e) Transactions under the Securities Lending and Borrowing (SLB) scheme:
Any transfer in the scheme of lending and borrowing of securities which is subject to guidelines prescribed by
the SEBI or RBI is not regarded as ‘transfer’ under the relevant provisions of the ITA. Further, such transactions
are not liable to STT. Gains earned from short sale and re-purchase of securities could be regarded as ‘capital
gains’ or ‘business income’ and taxed accordingly.
If the Fund lends security under the SLB scheme, the lending fee received by the Fund may be regarded as
‘business income’ or ‘income from other sources’ (taxable at 43.68. One could argue that the same should be
nonetheless, regarded as ‘income in respect of securities’, taxable at the rate of 21.84% under the special tax
regime applicable to FPIs.
g) Minimum Alternate tax (MAT)
The Indian Income-tax provisions require companies to pay a Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) calculated at
16.38% of their “book profits”, in the event that the tax payable by them under normal provisions of the domestic
tax law is less than the MAT so calculated.
In computing ‘book profits’, amongst others, any income in the form of capital gains and interest earned by a
foreign company, are excluded if the tax payable on such income is lower than the MAT rate. Further, the MAT
does not apply to foreign companies, if:
• the foreign company is a resident of a country with whom India has a Treaty and the foreign company does
not have a permanent establishment in India; or
• the foreign company is a resident of a country with whom India does not have a Treaty and is not required
to seek registration under any law in respect of companies.
2. Taxability under the Mauritius Tax Treaty:
a) Capital gains:
As per the Mauritius Tax Treaty, capital gains arising from alienation of shares in companies resident of
India are taxable in India except where the shares are acquired prior to 1 April 2017, in which case such
gains are not taxable in India.
b) Dividend:
As per Article 10 of the Mauritius Tax Treaty, dividend is taxable at the rate of 15% provided the Subsidiary
is the “beneficial owner” of such dividend income.
c) Interest:
Interest received in India by the Subsidiary shall be taxable at the rate of 7.5% under the Mauritius Tax
Treaty, if the beneficial owner of interest is a resident of Mauritius.
d) Business Income:
Any income chargeable as business income is not liable to tax in India as per Article 7(1) of the Mauritius
Tax Treaty if the Subsidiary does not have a Permanent Establishment in India.
e) Other Income:
Any income chargeable as other income is liable to tax in India as per Article 22(1) of the Mauritius Tax
Treaty.
Notes
1. The above rates of tax are considered as per the Finance Act 2021. These rates would apply where taxable income
exceeds Rs.100 million, and is inclusive of surcharge of 5% and education cess of 4%. The surcharge of 5% would
get reduced to 2% where the taxable income exceeds Rs.10 million but does not exceed Rs.100 million. The surcharge
of 2% would not apply where the taxable income does not exceed Rs.10 million.
2. In order to avail Mauritius Tax Treaty benefits, the subsidiary is required to maintain documents such as Tax Residency
Certificate issued by the Mauritius Revenue Authorities and Form No.10F.
3. Benefits under the Mauritius Tax Treaty are subject to the provisions of General Anti Avoidance Rules (GAAR), which
are discussed separately.

Stamp duty
The Finance Act, 2019 has made amendments in Indian Stamp Act, 1899 (effective from July 1, 2020) to bring uniformity
and affordability of stamp duty on securities across States and thereby build a pan-India securities market. Further, it has
designated stock exchanges and depositories to collect stamp duty on such securities.
As per the amendment, all issuance and transfers of securities should be subject to stamp duty (i.e. exemption on transfer
of dematerialized securities to be removed) and should be calculated on an ad valorem basis on: (i) actual trade price for
listed securities; or (ii) price identified in instrument of transfer.
The amended stamp duty rate as per the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 on transfer of shares are as below:
Offshore transfers
Under the ITA, shares or interest in a company or entity registered or incorporated outside India would be deemed to be
situated in India if the shares or interest derive, directly or indirectly, value substantially from assets located in India.
Indirect transfer provisions were inapplicable with respect to investments held directly or indirectly by non-residents in
Category I and Category II FPIs registered under the erstwhile Securities and Exchange Board of India (FPI) Regulations,
2014. However, the said FPI Regulations was repealed on September 23, 2019 and replaced with the SEBI (FPI)
Regulations, 2019. With this change, the ITA has been subsequently amended, to clarify that the offshore transfer tax
provisions are inapplicable to Category-I FPIs registered with SEBI under the SEBI (Foreign Portfolio Investors) Regulations,
2019.
Subsidiary and the Fund are registered as Category I FPIs under the SEBI (FPI) Regulations 2019 Thus, transfer or
redemption or buyback of shares held by the investors directly or indirectly in Subsidiary and the Fund shall not be subject
to such tax in India.
Multilateral Instrument (“MLI”) to implement Tax Treaty related measures to prevent Base Erosion and Profit Shifting
(“BEPS”)
As a part of its BEPS initiative, the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) released the MLI.
The MLI, amongst others, includes a "principal purpose test", wherein Tax Treaty benefits can be denied if one of the principal
purpose of an arrangement or a transaction is to, directly or indirectly, obtain tax benefit. While India and Mauritius have
signed the MLI, Mauritius has not included its tax treaty with India in the list Covered Tax Agreement (“CTA”) notification
submitted with OECD. Owing to this exclusion by Mauritius, at present, the terms of MLI shall not apply to tax residents of
Mauritius. The press release issued by OECD suggests that Mauritius will have a bilateral discussion with countries not
covered by the MLI to implement the BEPS minimum standards. The tax position in relation to MLI will have to be reviewed
in light of developments in this context.
Mauritius
The Subsidiary has initially been incorporated as a Category 1 Global Business Company. The Financial Services Development
Act 2001 has been repealed and replaced by the Financial Services Act 2007 (FSA). The FSA has simplified the regulatory
regime and consolidated the legislative framework of the global business sector.
As it is now, the Subsidiary will be subject to tax at 15% and may either claim credit for actual foreign taxes suffered on its
foreign income or otherwise claim a presumed credit equivalent to 80% of the Mauritius tax payable on its foreign source
income, whichever is the higher. The foreign tax credit is restricted to the Mauritius tax liability. Hence, the Subsidiary will be
subject to tax at the maximum effective rate of 3% and, where the actual foreign tax suffered is greater than 15%, the
Mauritius tax liability will be reduced to nil. Under the Mauritius Income Tax Act 1995, gains arising from the sale of shares
or securities of a GBC 1 are exempt from income tax. However, expenses directly attributable to the exempt income will be
disallowed for tax purposes. Common expenses indirectly attributable to exempt income should be disallowed to the extent
that the proportion of exempt to total taxable and exempt income is more than 10%.
There has been a major change in the tax and regulatory regime for global business companies in Mauritius.
As per the new regulations provided under the Financial Services Act, as from 1 January 2019, a Global Business Licence
company (“GBL”) should, at all times:
• Carry out its core income generating activities in, or from Mauritius as required by the Income Tax Act, by:
o Employing, directly or indirectly, a reasonable number of suitably qualified persons to carry out the core
activities; and

added to form part of the Index. The accuracy and completeness of the calculation of the Index may be affected if there is
any problem with the system for the computation and/or compilation of the Index.
Subject to the investment restrictions applicable to the fund as described in part V of the Prospectus, the objective of the
fund is to track the performance of the Index thereby seeking to achieve long term capital growth. However, there is no
assurance that the performance of the fund will be the same as the performance of the Index. The fund aims to use a
replication strategy and hold all securities that represent the Index but as the breakdown of the Index will vary according to
movements of the stock market, the fund may not be able to fully track the Index at all times and this may result in tracking
error. Tracking error may also result due to fees and charges and volatility of the constituent securities. To minimise tracking
error and reduce transaction costs, the fund will invest in futures on the Index subject to the restrictions set forth in part V of
the Prospectus. Given the nature and objective of the fund, it may not be able to adapt to market changes and any fall in the
Index is expected to result in a corresponding fall in the value of the fund. In the event that the Index ceases to be operated
or is not available, the Directors will consider whether the fund should maintain its current structure until such time as the
Index is made available again or change its objective to track another index with similar characteristics of the Index.

EU Benchmark Regulation
Certain funds may use benchmarks within the meaning of the Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 of the European Parliament and
of the Council of 8 June 2016 on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial contracts or to measure
the performance of investment funds, as may be amended or supplemented from time to time (the “EU Benchmark
Regulation”).
The benchmarks used by the funds are provided by administrators which are listed in the register referred to in article 36 of
the EU Benchmark Regulation.
In accordance with the EU Benchmark Regulation, the Fund and the Management Company maintain an index contingency
plan setting out the actions to be taken in the event that any benchmark used in relation to the funds materially changes or
ceases to be provided (the “Contingency Plan”). Shareholders may access the Contingency Plan free of charge upon
request at the registered office of the Fund.

date as it has received sufficient evidence of the qualification of the investor as an Institutional Investor. If it appears at any
time that a holder of class I Shares is not an Institutional Investor, the Board will switch such Shares into class A Shares in
the relevant fund (or in another fund with a similar investment policy if the relevant fund does not issue class A Shares)
and notify the relevant Shareholder of such switch.
The annual management fee rate per class I Share, as currently applied, is disclosed in Appendix II, “List of Share Classes”

Where the performance of the relevant Variable Share Class is equal to that of the Market Index, the variable element will
be zero and the VMF will equal the Base Fee. The variable element will also be zero during the first 90 days after launch of
each Variable Share Class.
Where a Variable Share Class has outperformed the Market Index, a positive adjustment of the Base Fee will take place. This
positive adjustment will apply on a sliding scale, so that for each 1% (or fraction thereof) of outperformance against the Market Index,
the variable element of the VMF will increase by 0.033%, up to a maximum variable element of 0.20% above the Base Fee.
Similarly, where the performance of the Share class has underperformed the Market Index, a negative adjustment of the
Base Fee will take place. This negative adjustment will apply on a sliding scale so that for each 1% (or fraction thereof) of
underperformance against the Market Index, the variable element will decrease by 0.033%, up to a maximum variable
element of 0.20% below the Base Fee.
Market Indices
The relevant Market Index has been selected by the Investment Manager as appropriate to calculate the VMF of the relevant
Variable Share Class. However, and for the avoidance of doubt, the selection of a Market Index for this purpose should not
necessarily be considered as indicative of a specific investment style.
The value attributed to each Market Index is on the basis of a total return. This means that the value will reflect the
reinvestment of dividends. The Market Index used will also reflect an appropriate application of dividend withholding tax. This
means that where the relevant fund could invest in the securities of the Market Index, without being subject to withholding
tax on dividends, the Market Index used will also be without adjustment for withholding taxes. Where the relevant fund would
have withholding tax applied on any payment of dividends, this will also be reflected in the version of the Market Index used.
Where there is not a readily available version of the Market Index applying the correct withholding tax treatment, the
Investment Manager will adjust the calculation to take account of the relevant applicable withholding taxes.
The Management Company, the Investment Manager and the relevant index provider(s) will not be liable (in negligence or
otherwise) to any Shareholder for any error, delay or change in the provision, availability, composition, calculation or
transmission of any index and shall not be obliged to advise any Shareholder of the same.
The Fund, the Management Company and the Investment Manager are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by the
relevant index provider(s) and the index provider(s) make(s) no warranty, representation or judgment about the Fund, the
Management Company, the Investment Manager or the use of any index.
The Management Company will maintain a contingency plan setting out the actions to be taken in the event that a market
index changes materially or ceases to be provided.
Note to Investors
As outlined above, the variable element of the VMF is based on the difference in performance of the Variable Share Class
compared to the Market Index. As a result, the VMF will vary based on the relevant Share class performance relative to the
Market Index performance, calculated at the beginning and end of each Performance Period, rather than being based on
increases or decreases in the NAV of the relevant Share class during that period.
The difference in performance between the Variable Share Class and the Market Index is calculated by reference to their
values at the beginning and end of each Performance Period.
Examples of the VMF payable:
Outperformance/underperformance values are calculated to ensure they are proportionate, compoundable and convertible.
This calculation is expressed as follows:
1 + Share Class Return
Outperformance/Underperformance = −1
1 + Market Index Return
For each 1% of the outperformance/underperformance, the variable element will increase or decrease by 0.033% to a
maximum of 0.20% or a minimum of -0.20%.
*For currency hedged Share classes an appropriate cash index is used, denominated in the reference currency of the Share
class.
As shown in the table, the Investment Manager may earn a performance fee. The methodology is fully explained under Part
IV Investment Management Fee and Performance Fee Methodology. For the purpose of calculating the relevant performance
fee, the performance fee rate and market index (“Market Index”) for each fund is shown above.
For the avoidance of doubt, the abovementioned Market Indices are solely used for performance fee calculation purposes,
and they should therefore under no circumstances be considered as indicative of a specific investment style.
The Management Company, the Investment Manager and the relevant Market Index provider(s) will not be liable (in
negligence or otherwise) to any Shareholder for any error, delay or change in the provision, availability, composition,
calculation or transmission of any Market Index and shall not be obliged to advise any Shareholder of the same.
The Fund, the Management Company and the Investment Manager are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by the
relevant Market Index provider(s) and the Market Index provider(s) make(s) no warranty, representation or judgment about
the Fund, the Management Company, the Investment Manager or the use of any Market Index.
Minimum Holding
For all classes of Shares the minimum value of a holding at any time must amount to the gross minimum initial investment
applicable to the particular class of Shares of that fund. If the holding of a Shareholder in a class of Shares is below such
minimum initial investment the Board may proceed to a compulsory redemption of all their Shares in accordance with the
procedure described under Part III, 3.4. “Eligible Investors and Restriction on Ownership” of the Prospectus.
Dealing Procedures
Shares can normally be purchased, sold or switched with any of the Distributors or be subscribed for or redeemed or switched
with the Management Company as further detailed below.
Shareholders’ attention is drawn to the fact that different procedures may apply if dealing in Shares is made through Distributors.
For further information on these, please contact your usual contact at FIL Group.
Single Price
There is a single price for buying and selling Shares which represents the Net Asset Value of the relevant Share. If applicable,
an initial charge is added in the case of purchases and a switch charge in the case of switches. If applicable, a redemption
fee is deducted in the case of redemptions. For class I Shares a dilution levy might also be applied.
Contract Notes
Contract notes will normally be issued within 24 hours of the allocation of Shares in case of purchases or of the price being
determined in case of redemptions and switches.
4.00 pm 3.00 pm
Other dealing cut-off times may be agreed with local Distributors and/or sub-transfer agent(s).

Applications
Investors buying Shares for the first time have to complete an application form. The instructions for subsequent purchases must
normally contain full details of registration, the name of the fund(s), class(es) of Shares, settlement currency(ies) and the value of
Shares to be bought. Purchase instructions will normally only be fulfilled on banker’s notification of receipt of cleared monies.
In case of joint holding and unless specifically stated in writing at the time of application, any one of the registered joint
Shareholders is authorised to sign any documents or to give instructions in connection with that holding on behalf of the
other joint Shareholders. Such authorisation shall remain in force unless notice of its termination is received under separate
cover by the Distributor.
Completed applications with cleared monies received by a Distributor or the Management Company, where the investor is
subscribing for Shares directly from the Management Company, on a day that the Distributor and the Management Company
(or the Management Company alone if the application is addressed to it) are open for business before the appropriate dealing
cut-off times on a Valuation Date will normally be fulfilled that day at the next calculated Net Asset Value of the relevant
share plus any applicable initial charge.
Normally, the Management Company and/or the relevant Distributor do not accept from, or make payments to, persons other
than the registered Shareholder or any of the joint Shareholders.
The Management Company may delay the processing of the applications until receipt of all the documents it may request to
comply with the applicable laws and regulations.
Price
The purchase price comprises the Net Asset Value of Shares of the relevant class calculated on a Valuation Date plus the
applicable initial charge. The number of Shares will be rounded up or down to the nearest one-hundredth of a Share.
Details of the most recent Net Asset Value of Shares in each class may be obtained from each Distributor or the Management
Company. Details of the most recent Net Asset Value for the Reserved Funds may only be obtained from the Management
Company. The Net Asset Values of the appropriate classes are published in such manner as decided from time to time by
the Management Company.
Subscription in Specie
The purchase price, excluding any sales commission, may be paid by contributing to the relevant fund securities consistent
with the investment policy and investment restrictions of the relevant fund. This is subject to approval of the Board and all
applicable laws and regulations, notably with respect to the issuance of a special report from the approved statutory auditor
of the Fund, which may also be specifically requested by the Board.
The specific costs for such purchase in specie, in particular the costs of the special report will normally be borne by the
purchaser, or a third party.
Currencies
Investors may place orders for Shares with Distributors in any of the major freely convertible currencies in addition to the
Principal Dealing Currency of the individual funds and/or classes of Shares. Investors may contact the Distributors for
information about such currencies. The Distributors may publish details of other currencies which will be accepted. Foreign
exchange transactions required to handle client purchases/redemptions may be aggregated and will be carried out by
FIL Group’s central treasury department on an arm’s length basis through certain FIL Group companies from which a benefit
may be derived by such companies. Settlement must be made in the currency in which the order was placed.
Investors subscribing for Shares direct through the Management Company may only settle in one of the Principal Dealing
Currencies of the applicable fund or class.
In case of compulsory redemption of Shares by the Fund, subject to the conditions set out in the Articles of Incorporation, the
relevant investment will be automatically redeemed in the Principal Dealing Currency (unless otherwise specifically decided
by the Board or instructed by the relevant Shareholder) free from any redemption charge at the Net Asset Value per Share
calculated, and the proceeds will be returned to the relevant Shareholder’s bank account.
Settlement
Settlement should be made by electronic bank transfer net of bank charges. Payment should be made to the bank account
published by the Distributor as appropriate to the currency of settlement.
Other methods of payment require the prior approval of the Distributor or the Management Company. Where payments are
accepted by cheque (or where an electronic bank transfer does not result in the immediate receipt of cleared funds),
processing of the application will usually be deferred until cleared monies are received. Cleared monies will be invested net
of bank collection charges.
Shareholders should normally allow at least three Business Days before further switching, selling or redeeming their Shares
after purchase or subscription.
The full ownership of Shares will normally be transferred to the investor upon receipt of cleared monies.
Form of Shares
Class A, E, Y-VMF and Y Shares are issued in registered form in the name of the subscriber or made available through
Clearstream Banking unless shown otherwise in the notes of the respective funds in Part I of the Prospectus. Class C, I and
P Shares are issued in registered form. Class P and SE Shares are not available through the clearing houses and Class I-
VMF, I, R, RA, RY and X Shares may be available through the clearing houses subject to eligibility and Distributor
acceptance. The Fund no longer issues bearer Shares, following the decision taken by the Board on 14 May 1996.
Registered Shares are held on a register established by the Fund or its delegate in the investor’s name. No Share certificates
are issued.
Certification of the registered holding may be requested and will be mailed within approximately four weeks after payment
for the Shares and provision of registration details to the Distributor or the Management Company.
Instructions to Sell
Instructions to sell registered Shares should be addressed to a Distributor or to the Management Company. The instructions
must contain full details of registration, the name of the fund(s), class(es) of Shares, settlement currency(ies), the number or
value of Shares to be sold and bank details. Instructions received on a day that the Distributor or the Management Company is
open for business, before the appropriate dealing cut-off times on a Valuation Date, are normally dealt with that day at the next
calculated Net Asset Value of the relevant class. Normally, the Management Company and/or the relevant Distributor do not
accept from, or make payments to, persons other than the registered Shareholder or any of the joint Shareholders.
Holders of registered Shares should submit signed written instructions. In case of joint holding and unless specifically stated
in writing at the time of application, one of the registered joint Shareholders is authorised to sign any documents or give
instructions in connection with that holding on behalf of the other joint Shareholders. Such authorisation shall remain in force
unless notice of its termination is received under separate cover by the Distributor or the Management Company.
The minimum value of a shareholding in any one fund must amount to the minimum initial investment. If the holding by any
Shareholder in a fund is below the amount specified as being the minimum initial investment, then the Fund may proceed to
a compulsory redemption of all their Shares held in such fund in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation.
Settlement
Settlement will normally be made by electronic bank transfer. The Management Company will aim to make settlement
payments within three Business Days (without however exceeding 5 Business Days) after receipt of written instructions.
Exceptions currently apply in relation to the funds listed below. If in exceptional circumstances it is not possible to make the
payment within the relevant period, then such payment shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter but without
interest. In addition, different settlement periods may apply if settlement is made via local correspondent banks, paying agents
or other agents. Settlement amounts may be subject to bank charges levied by the Shareholder’s own (or a correspondent)
bank. Payment will be made in one of the Principal Dealing Currencies of the relevant class of Share or may also be made in
one of the major freely convertible currencies if requested by the Shareholder(s) at the time of instruction.
Exceptions: funds for which settlement will normally be made within five Business Days
Fidelity Funds – Asian High Yield Fund Fidelity Funds – India Focus Fund
Price
A sales exit fee or a redemption fee of up to 1.00% of the Net Asset Value inclusive of expenses can be levied on class P Shares,
either of which fee will revert to the General Distributor. Currently, no sales exit fee or redemption fee is applied to any of the other
classes. [However, the right is reserved to charge a sales exit fee or a redemption fee on certain other classes, not exceeding
1.00% of the Net Asset Value, unless an exception is specified for a class in section 2.1. Classes of Shares in Part II of the
Prospectus, if the Directors so determine in the future, which fee will revert to the General Distributor. In the case of a redemption
fee being applied to any other class, the Prospectus shall be updated and the investors duly informed.]
Redemption in Specie
The Fund and/or the Management Company shall have the right, if the Board and/or the Management Company so determines,
to satisfy payment of the redemption price to any Shareholder requesting redemption of any of their Shares in specie (but subject
to the consent of the Shareholder in the case of Shares valued at less than USD 100,000) by allocating to the holder investments
from the pool of assets set up in connection with such class or classes of Shares equal in value (calculated in the manner described
in Article 22 of the Articles of Incorporation) as of the Valuation Date on which the redemption price is calculated to the value of
the Shares to be redeemed. The nature and type of assets to be transferred in such case shall be determined on a fair and
reasonable basis and without prejudicing the interests of the other holders of Shares of the relevant class or classes of Shares
and the valuation used shall be confirmed by a special report of the auditor to the extent required by law or regulation or by the
Board. The costs of any such transfers shall normally be borne by the transferee.
Class A Shares
Shareholders may switch some or all of their Shares in one fund or class of Shares into another fund or class of Shares if
they satisfy the applicable minimum investment requirements for the existing and new funds or class of Shares.
Class C Shares
Shareholders may switch some or all of their class C Shares of one fund into class C Shares of another fund provided they
are in issue.
Class D Shares
Shareholders may switch some or all of their class D Shares of one fund into class D Shares of another fund provided they
are in issue.
Class E Shares
Shareholders may switch some or all of their class E Shares of one fund into class E Shares of another fund provided they
are in issue.
Class I Shares
Shareholders may switch some or all of their class I Shares or Class I-VMF Shares of one fund into class I Shares and /or
Class I-VMF Shares of another fund provided they are in issue.
Class J Shares
Shareholders may switch some or all of their class J Shares of one fund into class J Shares of another fund provided they
are in issue.
Class P Shares
Shareholders may switch some or all of their class P Shares of one fund into class P Shares of another fund provided they
are in issue.
Class X Shares
Shareholders may switch some or all of their class X Shares of one fund into class X Shares of another fund provided they
are in issue.
Class Y Shares
Shareholders may switch some or all of their class Y Shares or class Y-VMF Shares of one fund into class Y Shares and /or
class Y-VMF Shares of another fund provided they are in issue.
Notwithstanding the rules mentioned above for classes C to Y Shares, the Board or its delegate may, at its discretion, and
with respect to the eligibility requirements described within the Prospectus, decide to accept instructions to switch Shares of
one fund into Shares of another class of Shares in another fund, or within the same fund, provided that all Shareholders of
a particular class requesting such instructions to switch on the same Valuation Date are treated equally.
Procedures
Instructions to switch Shares should be addressed to a Distributor or the Management Company. Instructions should include
full account details and the number or value of Shares to be switched between named funds and classes. In case of joint
holding and unless specifically stated in writing at the time of application, one of the registered joint Shareholders is
authorised to sign any documents or give instructions in connection with that holding on behalf of the other joint Shareholders.
Such authorisation shall remain in force unless notice of its termination is received under separate cover by the Distributor
or the Management Company.
Shareholders may not be registered as the owner of the new Shares of the fund into which the Shareholders have switched
until the Distributor or the Management Company has received renunciation for the Shares of the fund from which the
Shareholders have switched. Shareholders should normally allow up to three Business Days after receipt of completed
instructions by the Distributor or the Management Company before selling or switching the new Shares into another fund.
An exception currently applies to Fidelity Funds – Taiwan Fund. Shareholders of this fund must allow six Business Days
following receipt by the Distributor of completed documentation before selling or further switching into another fund.
Amounts to be Switched
The minimum value of a shareholding in any one fund must amount to the minimum initial investment.
Shareholders must therefore switch the appropriate minimum initial investment or, where investing in a fund where they have
an existing shareholding, the appropriate minimum subsequent investment. When switching a partial holding, the minimum
value of the remaining holding should equate to the minimum initial investment.
Price
Switching instructions received on a day that the Distributors or the Management Company are open for business before
the appropriate dealing cut-off times on a Valuation Date, are dealt with at the Net Asset Value calculated that day for each
of the relevant funds. Switching instructions received before the relevant dealing cut-off times on a day which is not a
Valuation Date for one or both funds will be executed on the next Valuation Date for that fund. If a Shareholder switches
from a fund with a 4.00pm Central European Time (3.00 pm UK time) dealing cut-off point into a fund with an earlier cut-off
point of 1.00pm Central European Time (12.00 noon UK time), the Buy side of the switch may be dealt with at the Net Asset
Value calculated on their respective next following Valuation Date. Switch fees are applied to certain funds outlined in the
table below, and paid to the General Distributor.
INTO
Class of Shares All other classes of Shares
with no initial charge
F Class of Shares with no initial charge 0% Up to the full initial charge of the
R class to be switched into
O
All other classes of Shares 0% Up to 1.00% of the Net Asset Value
M
A switching fee of 1% of the Net Asset Value per Share will be applied to all switches from the Shares in Fidelity Funds - Multi Asset Target Income 2024 Fund into
Shares within the same fund or in other funds of the Fund except for the last calendar month before maturity (22 April 2024 - 22 May 2024) where the 1%
redemption or switching fee is waived. At the discretion of the General Distributor such switching fee may revert to the funds. This shall compensate or at least
reduce any potential adverse effect on remaining Shareholders due to a decrease in value of the holdings of the funds as a result of the costs incurred in the sale of
the funds’ investments to meeting the switch, including stamp duty and any difference between the buying and selling price of such investments.
Switching fees will be applied to all switches (where applicable) between funds and between classes of Shares within a fund.
No switching charges apply to switches into or between funds in the Reserved Funds range.
The currency exchange rate to be applied where the prices of the relevant funds are denominated in different currencies is
that for Share purchases on the relevant day. The number of Shares will be rounded up or down to the nearest one-hundredth
of a Share.
The Net Asset Value per Share of each fund, and, if applicable, of each class of Shares of such fund, is calculated by
determining first, if appropriate, the proportion of the net assets of the relevant fund attributable to each class of Shares,
thereby taking account of the ongoing distribution charge payable by Class E Shares. Each such amount will be divided by
the number of Shares of the relevant class then outstanding as at close of business to the extent feasible.
The Articles of Incorporation contain valuation regulations which provide that for the purpose of determining Net Asset Value:
a. of funds other than Cash funds
1. the value of any cash in hand or on deposit, bills and demand notes and accounts receivable, prepaid expenses,
cash dividends and interest declared or accrued and not yet received shall be deemed to be the full amount
thereof, unless in any case the same is unlikely to be paid or received in full, in which case the value thereof shall
be arrived at after making such discount as Directors or their delegate may consider appropriate in such case to
reflect the true value thereof;
2. the value of transferable securities, money market instruments and financial derivative instruments are valued on
the basis of the last available price of the relevant stock exchange or Regulated Market on which these securities
or assets are traded or admitted for trading. Where such securities or other assets quoted or dealt in on one or
more than one stock exchange or Regulated Market, the Board or its delegate shall adopt policies as to the order
of priority in which such stock exchanges or other Regulated Markets shall be used for the provisions of prices of
securities or assets;
3. if a transferable security or money market instrument is not traded or admitted on any official stock exchange or an
Regulated Market, or in the case of transferable securities or money market instruments so traded or admitted where
the last available price is not representative of their fair market value, the Board or its delegate shall proceed on the
basis of their reasonably foreseeable sales price, which shall be valued with prudence and in good faith;
4. the financial derivative instruments which are not listed on any official stock exchange or traded on any other
Regulated Market will be valued in accordance with market practice;
5. units or shares of undertakings for collective investment, including funds, shall be valued on the basis of their last
available Net Asset Value, as reported by such undertakings; and
6. liquid assets and money market instruments may be valued at nominal value plus any accrued interest at mark-
to-market or mark-to-model, or on an amortised cost basis under certain limited conditions (including for
instruments with low residual maturities when deemed allowed to gain an appropriate approximation of the price
of the instrument) provided that escalation procedures are in place to ensure corrective actions are promptly
taken when the amortised cost no longer provides a reliable approximation of the price of the instrument. All other
assets, where practice allows, may be valued in the same manner.
b. of Cash funds:
1. the value of any cash on hand or on deposit, bills and demand notes and accounts receivable, prepaid expenses,
cash dividends and interest declared or accrued as aforesaid, and not yet received shall be deemed to be the full
amount thereof, unless, however, the same is unlikely to be paid or received in full, in which case the value
thereof shall be determined after making such discount as the Board may consider appropriate in such case to
reflect the true value thereof;
2. Shares or units of Money Market Funds shall be valued at their last available net asset value as reported by such
money market funds;
3. liquid assets and Money Market Instruments will be valued at Mark-to-Market or Mark-to-Model where the use of
mark-to-market is not possible or the market data is not of sufficient quality; and
4. any assets or liabilities in currencies other than the Fund currency will be converted using the relevant spot rate
quoted by a bank or other recognised financial institution.
In addition, the Net Asset Value per Share of Share classes within the Cash funds shall be made available on the internet
of the Management Company site on a daily basis and rounded to the nearest four decimal places.
If any of the aforementioned valuation principles do not reflect the valuation method commonly used in specific markets or
if any such valuation principles do not seem accurate for the purpose of determining the value of the Fund’s assets, the
Board or its delegate may adopt different valuation principles in good faith and in accordance with generally accepted
valuation principles and procedures.
For example, if a market in which the Fund invests is closed at the time the Fund is valued, the latest available market prices
may not accurately reflect the fair value of the Fund’s holdings. This might be the case if other markets which are open at the
Fund’s valuation point, and with which the closed market is highly correlated, have experienced price movements (subsequent
to the time of closure of the market in which the Fund has invested). Other factors may also be taken into account when
considering the fair value of holdings in a market which is closed. Failure to adjust those closing prices to fair values could be
exploited by some investors at the expense of long term shareholders in an activity known as market timing.
Accordingly, the Board or its delegates may adjust the last available market price to take account of market and other events
which occur between the relevant market closing and the point at which the Fund is valued. Such adjustments are made on
the basis of an agreed policy and set of procedures which are transparent to the Fund’s depositary and auditors. Any
adjustment is applied consistently across the funds and Share classes.
Other situations, including where a holding has been suspended, has not traded for some time or for which an up to date
market price is not available will be subject to a similar adjustment process. Investors should note that it may be the case
that payments to be made to a fund such as those in respect of a class action may not be included in the Net Asset Value
of a fund until actually received owing to the inherent uncertainty surrounding such payments.
The value of all assets and liabilities not expressed in the Reference Currency of a fund or the Principal Dealing Currency
of a class will be converted into the Reference Currency of such fund or the Principal Dealing Currency of such class at rates
last quoted by any major bank. If such quotations are not available, the rate of exchange will be determined in good faith by
or under procedures established by the Board.
The assets relating to a fund means the assets which are attributed to that fund less the liabilities attributed to that fund and
where any asset or liability of the Fund cannot be considered to be attributed to a fund such asset or liability shall be allocated
to the assets or liabilities relating to all the funds or all the relevant funds pro rata to the Net Asset Values thereof. Liabilities are
binding on the relevant fund only provided, however, under exceptional circumstances the Board may undertake joint and
several obligations which may be binding upon several or all funds if this is in the interest of the Shareholders concerned.
Calculations of Net Asset Value are made by the Management Company and are made generally in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and international standards. In the absence of bad faith, negligence or manifest
error, every decision in calculating Net Asset Values taken by the Management Company will be final and binding on the
Fund and on present, past and future Shareholders.
2.6. Temporary Suspension of Determination of Net Asset Value and of the Issue,
Switching and Redemption of Shares
The Board or the Management Company may, in consultation with the Depositary and having regard to the best interest of the
Shareholders, suspend the determination of the Net Asset Value of Shares of any fund, the issue of such Shares, the switching
of such Shares and the redemption of such Shares in the cases described below. In this context, and for the avoidance of any
doubt, the Board or the Management Company, as applicable, will retain full discretion as to the temporary suspension of the
determination of Net Asset Value and of the issue, switching and redemption of Shares:
a. during any period (other than ordinary holidays or customary weekend closings) when any market or stock exchange
is closed on which a significant portion of the Fund’s investments relating to that fund is quoted and which is the main
market or stock exchange for such investments, provided that the closing of such exchange or market affects the
valuation of the investments quoted thereon; or during any period when dealings on such market or stock exchange are
substantially restricted or suspended, provided such restriction or suspension affects the valuation of the investments
of the Fund relating to that fund quoted thereon;
b. during any period when an emergency exists as a result of which disposal by the Fund of investments relating to that
fund which constitute a substantial portion of the assets of the fund is not practically feasible or would be seriously
prejudicial to the Shareholders;
c. during any breakdown in the means of communication normally employed in determining the price of any of the Fund’s
investments relating to that fund or of current prices on any market or stock exchange;
d. when for any other reason the prices of any investments owned by the Fund relating to that fund cannot promptly or
accurately be ascertained;
e. during any period when remittance of monies which will or may be involved in the realisation of or in the payment for
any of the Fund’s investments relating to that fund cannot, in the opinion of the Board, be carried out at normal rates
of exchange;
f. while the value of the investments held through any subsidiary of the Fund may not be determined accurately;
g. during any period when in the opinion of the Board or the Management Company unusual circumstances exist where
it would be impractical or unfair towards the Shareholders to continue dealing in the Shares of the Fund or of any fund,
or circumstances where a failure to do so might result in the Shareholders of the Fund or a fund incurring any liability
to taxation or suffering other pecuniary disadvantage or other detriment which the Shareholders of the Fund or a fund
might not otherwise have suffered, or any other circumstances;
h. if the Fund or a fund is being or may be wound-up, on or following the date on which such decision is taken by the
Board or notice is given to Shareholders of a general meeting of Shareholders at which a resolution to wind-up the
Fund or a fund is to be proposed;
i. in the case of a merger, if the Board and/or the Management Company deems this to be justified for the protection of
Shareholders; or
j. in the case of a suspension of the calculation of the Net Asset Value of one or several underlying investment funds in
which a fund has invested a substantial portion of assets.
Furthermore, if on any Valuation Date redemption requests and switching requests relate to more than 10% of the Shares
in issue in respect of a fund, the Directors may declare that part or all of such Shares for redemption or switching will be
deferred on a pro rata basis for a period that the Directors consider to be in the best interests of the Fund and/or the Directors
may defer any switching or redemption request which exceeds 10% of the Shares in issue in respect of a fund. Such period
would not normally exceed 20 Valuation Dates. On such Dates, these redemption and switching requests will be met in
priority to later requests.
Suspension of determination of the Net Asset Value of Shares of one fund will not imply suspension in respect of other funds
unaffected by the relevant events.
Shareholders who have requested switching or redemption of their Shares or who have made an application to subscribe
for Shares will be notified in writing of any such suspension of the right to subscribe, to convert or to require redemption of
Shares and will be promptly notified upon termination of such suspension. Any such suspension will be published in such
manner as decided by the Board if in its opinion the suspension is likely to exceed one week.
In the event of any contemplated liquidation of the Fund, no further issues, switchings, or redemptions of Shares will be
permitted after publication of the first notice convening the general meeting of Shareholders for the purpose of winding up
the Fund. All Shares outstanding at the time of such publication will participate in the Fund’s liquidation distribution.
Each Distributor reserves the right to suspend or terminate sales of Shares in one or more funds and to refuse to accept any
applications. Sales will normally be suspended when the Fund suspends the determination of Net Asset Value.
PART III
3. General Information
3.1. Dividends
For additional information regarding the Sub-Indicators referred to below, investors should refer to Part II 2. Classes of Shares
and Share Dealing, 2.1. Classes of Shares in this Prospectus.
Dividends are normally paid within five Business Days, or as soon as practicable thereafter.
The funds have available Share classes that accumulate income, pay regular dividends out of net or gross current income
or on occasion make payments out of capital.
Share classes that can make payments out of capital will reduce capital appreciation for the holders of such Shares. For certain
distributing classes of Shares (i.e. MINCOME or QINCOME Shares), any such payments out of capital will only be made to seek
to maintain, so far as is reasonable, a stable payment per Share but the payment per Share is not fixed and will vary according to
economic and other circumstances and the ability of the fund to support stable monthly payments without a long-term positive or
negative impact on capital. For other distributing classes of Shares (i.e. MCDIST Shares) payments out of capital will be made to
seek to achieve a distribution percentage higher than that of a MINCOME Share class, however this distribution is not fixed either
and will vary according to economic and other circumstances. The funds are managed in line with the stated investment objectives
and are not managed to maintain a stable payment per Share on any particular Share class. The Board may also determine if
and to what extent dividends may include distributions from realised and unrealized capital gains as well as from capital. Such
distributions may include a premium when the interest rate of the hedged currency is higher than the fund’s reference currency
interest rate. Consequently, when the interest rate of the hedged currency is lower than the fund’s reference currency interest rate,
the dividend may be discounted (i.e. HMDIST(G) (hedged)).
Dividends paid may include capital, which will be attributable to the relevant class of Shares. To the extent that net income
attributable to these Shares exceeds the amount declared payable, the excess amount will be reflected in the respective
Net Asset Value of such Shares. Alternatively, the amount of dividend may exceed the aggregate amount of net investment
income and net capital gain. Accordingly, the level of dividend does not necessarily indicate the total return of the fund. In
order to assess the total return of the fund, both the Net Asset Value movement (including dividend) and the dividend
distribution should be considered.
For distributions out of capital, investors should refer to Part I, 1. Fund Information, 1.2. Risk Factors, X. “Distribution of
Dividends and Expenses out of / effectively out of capital risk” in this Prospectus.
In case of distribution of gross investment income, charges will be deducted from the assets of the relevant class of Shares.
This will enhance income returns but may constrain capital growth.
In case the payment of the dividend amount per class of Shares accrued between the launch date and the first scheduled
distribution date would not be economically efficient, the Board reserves the right to defer this payment to the following period.
Dividends remaining unclaimed five years after the dividend declaration date will be forfeited and will revert to the Fund.
Exceptions to the payment rules above are shown in the table below.

3.3. Taxation
No such tax is applicable in respect of assets invested in Luxembourg undertakings for collective investments which are themselves
subject to this tax.
Capital gains, dividends and interest on securities held by the Fund may be subject to capital gains, withholding or other taxes
imposed by the country of origin concerned and these taxes may not be recoverable by the Fund or by Shareholders.
(ii) Luxembourg resident Shareholders and non resident Shareholders holding the Shares through a Luxembourg
permanent establishment
Dividend distributions and capital gains received by Luxembourg tax resident corporate Shareholders are taxable at an
aggregate tax rate of 24.94% for Luxembourg City as from 1st January 2019.
The tax consequences for each Shareholder of purchasing, subscribing, acquiring, holding, converting, selling, redeeming
or disposing of Shares in the Fund will depend upon the relevant laws of any jurisdiction to which the Shareholder is subject.
Investors and prospective investors should seek their own professional advice as to this, as well as to any relevant exchange
control or other laws and regulations. Taxation law and practice and the levels of tax relating to the Fund and to Shareholders
may change from time to time.
Under the terms of the IGA the Fund as a Luxembourg Financial Institution is not subject to any additional US taxes or a
FATCA withholding, unless it is considered to be in material non-compliance with Luxembourg FATCA law. In addition, as
the Fund does not pay US source income to Shareholders (or debt holders if any) the Fund is currently not required to
withhold any US taxes or FATCA withholding from distribution or redemption payments. Based on the proposed US Treasury
Regulations, such withholding should not be applied on indirect US source income (so-called foreign passthru payments)
before the date that is two years after the date on which the final US Treasury Regulations that define “foreign passthru
payments” are published.
In such a case, only Shareholders (or debt holders if applicable) that are Nonparticipating Financial Institutions should be
subject to this withholding tax.
The Management Company was registered with the US Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) as a Sponsor prior to July 2014.
Further, in accordance with the IGA, the Management Company registered the Fund as a Sponsored Investment Entity with
the IRS prior to the deadline of 31 December 2016. The Fund is therefore considered to be a deemed compliant Financial
Institution under US regulations.
Some data may be processed and reported by the Fund as relevant taxpayer to the ACD based on the DAC6 requirements
further to the identification of RCBA under certain circumstances.
or (iii) the Fund or its Shareholders to be exposed to adverse regulatory, tax or fiscal consequences (including
any tax liabilities that might derive, inter alia, from any requirements imposed by FATCA as defined under Part
III, 3.3. “Taxation” or any breach thereof); and
- any person who is not a US Person and whose subscription or other acquisition of Shares (whether from the
Fund or from any other person) is not made:
a. while such person is physically present in the United States of America; or
b. in connection with any solicitation to such person to subscribe while such person was physically present in
the United States of America.
For such purposes, the Fund may:
1. decline to issue any Shares and decline to register any transfer of a Share, where it appears to it that such registration or
transfer would or might result in legal or beneficial ownership of such Shares by a person who is not an Eligible Investor
or by a person who following such registration or transfer would not qualify as Eligible Investor;
2. at any time require any person whose name is entered in, or any person seeking to register the transfer of Shares on the
register of Shareholders of the Fund to furnish it with any information, supported by affidavit, which it may consider necessary
for the purpose of determining whether or not beneficial ownership of such Shares rests in an Eligible Investor or whether
such registration will result in beneficial ownership of such Shares by a person who is not an Eligible Investor;
3. decline to accept the vote of any person who is not an Eligible Investor and where such person is a three percent owner
(as defined below), as to their shareholding in excess of three percent, at any meeting of Shareholders; and
4. where it appears to the Fund that any person who is not an Eligible Investor either alone or in conjunction with any other
person is a beneficial owner of Shares, or of a defined proportion of the Shares outstanding, compulsorily redeem or
cause to be redeemed from any such Shareholder all Shares held by such Shareholder or such Shares that exceed such
defined proportion held by such Shareholder, and where the Shareholder is a three percent owner, compulsorily redeem
or cause to be redeemed from such Shareholder all Shares held by such Shareholder in excess of this threshold, under
the conditions and as further described in the Articles of Incorporation.
As used in the Prospectus, but subject to such changes as may be communicated to applicants for or transferees of Shares,
‘three percent owner’ means any person, firm or corporate body which as a legal or beneficial holder owns more than three
percent of the number of Shares in the Fund from time to time outstanding.
As used in the Prospectus, but subject to US applicable law and to such changes as may be communicated to applicants
for or transferees of Shares, ‘US Person’ means:
a. a citizen or resident of the United States of America;
b. a partnership, corporation, limited liability company or similar entity, organised or incorporated under the laws of the
United States of America, or an entity taxed as such or subject to filing a tax return as such under the United States
federal income tax laws;
c. any estate or trust the executor, administrator or trustee of which is a US Person unless, in the case of trusts of which
any professional fiduciary acting as trustee is a US Person, a trustee who is not a US Person has sole or shared
investment discretion with respect to trust assets and no beneficiary of the trust (and no settlor if the trust is revocable)
is a US Person;
d. any estate or trust the income of which from sources without the United States of America is includible in gross income
for purposes of computing United States income tax payable by it;

incorporated or (if an individual) resident in the United States of America, except that any discretionary account or
similar account (other than an estate or trust) held for the benefit or account of a non-US Person by a dealer or other
professional fiduciary organised, incorporated or (if an individual) resident in the United States of America shall not be
deemed a US Person;
h. any firm, corporation or other entity, regardless of citizenship, domicile, situs or residence if, under the income tax laws
of the United States of America from time to time in effect, any portion of the income thereof would be taxable to a US
Person even if not distributed, other than a passive foreign investment company;
i. any partnership, corporation or other entity if (A) organised or incorporated under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction
and (B) owned or formed by a US Person or Persons principally for the purpose of investing in securities not registered
under the US Securities Act of 1933 (including but not limited to Shares of the Fund);
j. any employee benefit plan unless such employee benefit plan is established and administered in accordance with the
law of a country other than the United States of America and customary practices and documentation of such country
and is maintained primarily for the benefit of persons substantially all of whom are non-resident aliens with respect to
the United States of America; and
k. any other person or entity whose ownership of Shares or solicitation for ownership of Shares in Fidelity Investments
Institutional Services Company Inc., FIL Distributors International Limited or the Fund, acting through their officers or
directors, shall determine may violate any securities law of the United States of America or any state or other jurisdiction
thereof.
(Except that US Person shall not include any person or entity, notwithstanding the fact that such person or entity may come
within any of the categories referred to above, as to whom FIL Distributors International Limited or the Fund, acting through
their officers or directors, shall determine that ownership of Shares or solicitation for ownership of Shares shall not violate any
securities law of the United States of America or any state or other jurisdiction thereof).
As used herein, United States of America includes its states, commonwealths, territories, possessions and the District of Columbia.
In case of compulsory redemption from any Shareholder of Shares held by such Shareholder, subject to the conditions and as
further described in the Articles of Incorporation, the relevant investment will be automatically redeemed in the Principal

redemption charge at the Net Asset Value per Share calculated and the proceeds will be returned to the relevant Shareholder’s
bank account.
buy/sell spreads) will be considered significant if they amount to Euro 300,000 or more. A material impact is defined as
impacting the Net Asset Value by 10 basis points or more. On a large redemption, the Fund may require the redeeming
Shareholder to accept an in specie redemption subject to the conditions set out above under ‘2.2.2. Redemption in Specie’
instead of imposing a dilution levy.
Based on future projections, the levy will be up to 0.80% of the purchase cost or the redemption or switch proceeds. Any dilution
levy would be paid to the Fund and would become part of the property of the relevant fund. On any day where a price adjustment
is triggered as further described under ‘2.4. Price Adjustment Policy (Swing Pricing)’ above the dilution levy will not be applied.
PART IV
Board of Directors
The Board is responsible for the overall strategy of the Fund.
The Board’s composition is indicated under the section “Overview – Management of the Fund”.
The Board has appointed the Management Company to assume day-to-day responsibility for the conduct of the management,
administration and marketing functions in relation to the Fund. The Management Company may delegate part or all of such
functions to third parties, subject to its overall control and supervision.
A Director may hold any other office or position of profit under the Fund (other than the office of Auditor) or contract with the
Fund without the risk of disqualifying from their office of Director on such terms as to tenure and otherwise as the Directors
may determine. Any Director may also act in a professional capacity (other than as Auditor) and they or their firm shall be
entitled to remuneration for such services as if they were not a Director.
A Director may not normally vote in respect of any contract in which they are personally interested. Any such contract will
be disclosed in the financial reports of the Fund.
The Directors who are not employed by the Management Company, the Investment Manager or a Distributor or their affiliates are
entitled to an annual Director’s fee and a fee for each Board meeting attended. The aggregate fee payable to the Directors
(including any applicable attendance fee) is disclosed in the annual report and accounts. All Directors may be paid all travelling,
hotel and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending and returning from meetings of the Directors, or otherwise in
connection with the business of the Fund.
The Directors shall be indemnified by the Fund against liability and related expenses in connection with any claim brought
against such person by reason of their having been such Director or officer, provided that no indemnity shall be provided
against liability to the Fund or its Shareholders by reason of wilful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard
of duties or with respect to any matter as to which they shall have been finally adjudicated not to have acted in good faith in
the reasonable belief that their action was in the best interests of the Fund.
Remuneration Policy
FIL Investment Management (Luxembourg) S.A., is subject to remuneration policies, procedures and practices (together,
the “Remuneration Policy”) which complies with UCITS V directive (the “Directive”) and in particular with the implementation
rules that are available at the time of this Prospectus. The Remuneration Policy is consistent with and promotes sound and
effective risk management and does not encourage risk-taking which is inconsistent with the risk profiles of the funds or the
Articles of Incorporation. The Remuneration Policy is in line with the business strategy, objectives, values and interests of
the Management Company, the funds and the investors, and includes measures to avoid conflicts of interest. The
Remuneration Policy applies to staff whose professional activities have a material impact on the risk profile of the
Management Company or the funds, and ensures that no individual will be involved in determining or approving their own
remuneration. The assessment of performance is set in a multi-year framework appropriate to the holding period
recommended to the investors in order to ensure that the assessment process is based on the longer-term performance of
the fund and the investment risks and that the actual payment of performance-based components of remuneration is spread
over the same period. Also, fixed and variable components of total remuneration are appropriately balanced and the fixed
remuneration component represents a sufficiently high proportion of the total remuneration to allow the operation of a fully
flexible policy on variable components, including the possibility to pay no variable remuneration component. Details of the
summary Remuneration Policy is available via https://www.fil.com. A paper copy can be obtained, free of charge, upon
request in English at the office of the Management Company.

by either party upon 90 days’ prior written notice.
During such time as any Shares are authorised for sale in Hong Kong, the Fund or the Management Company may terminate
the Investment Management Agreement on 30 days’ prior written notice, if the Investment Manager goes into liquidation,
becomes bankrupt or has a receiver appointed over its assets, or on the grounds that the Board or the Management
Company are of the opinion that a change of Investment Manager is desirable and in the best interests of the Shareholders
(subject to, if the Investment Manager so requires, the concurrence of the Securities and Futures Commission). Subject to
this, the Fund or the Management Company may not give notice to terminate this agreement except with the sanction of a
resolution passed by not less than a two-thirds majority at a Shareholders’ meeting at which the holders of not less than
two-thirds of the Shares are present or represented and voting.
The Investment Management Agreement may be amended by agreement between the Investment Manager, the Fund and
the Management Company, by action of their respective boards, but the Fund or the Management Company may not
increase the Investment Manager’s fee above the rate of 2.00% without the sanction of an ordinary meeting of Shareholders

Manager, change its name forthwith to a name excluding ‘Fidelity’ and excluding any other name connected with the

Share Classes, any change to the Variable Management Fee outside the ranges noted below is subject to not less than
three months’ notice being given to Shareholders in the same manner as notices of meetings.
The Investment Manager remunerates the Connected Persons and any other entity to which it has sub-delegated investment
management activities for services performed by them for the Fund. Brokerage Commissions, transaction charges and other
operating costs of the Fund are payable by the Fund.
Investment Management Fee – Asset Allocation Funds, Fidelity Lifestyle Funds and Institutional Target Funds

For the US Dollar denominated Fidelity Lifestyle Funds, an annual management fee that will range from

** It should be noted that the High Water Mark is therefore not necessarily the highest ever Net Asset Value per Share of a class of Shares.
†† The High Water Mark cannot be adjusted so that the Adjusted High Water Mark would be lower than the High Water Mark.
the launch of the same class of Shares, or the Valuation Date since the last performance fee has been paid, divided by
365 (or 366 days in a leap year). The result is rounded to the nearest six decimal places, subject to any cap.
(iv) Where the Hurdle Rate applies, the daily Hurdle Rate for each class of Shares is determined on each Valuation Date by
multiplying the Hurdle Rate by the actual number of days elapsed between the preceding Valuation Date and the Valuation
Date prior to the preceding Valuation Date, divided by 365 (or 366 days in a leap year). The result is rounded to the nearest
six decimal places.
(v) On each Valuation Date, the change in the preceding Valuation Date’s Net Adjusted Asset Value per Share and its
preceding Adjusted Net Asset Value per Share is compared to the daily return of the relevant Market Index plus the daily
Hurdle Rate. If the Adjusted Net Asset Value per Share of a class of Shares is in excess of the Adjusted High Water Mark,
by more than the cumulative Hurdle Rate then a performance fee is accrued. The previous Valuation Date’s performance
fee accrual is increased or decreased (but not below 0) by the performance fee rate multiplied by the previous Valuation
Date’s daily return over the previous Valuation Date’s daily Market Index rate, plus the daily Hurdle Rate, multiplied by the
Adjusted Net Asset Value for that class of Shares on the Valuation Date prior to the preceding Valuation Date, adjusted
for any subscriptions or redemptions reflected in the preceding Valuation Date’s Net Asset Value, adjusted for any
redemptions reflected in that Valuation Date's Net Asset Value.
(vi) On each Valuation Date, if the Adjusted Net Asset Value per Share of a class of Shares is not in excess of the Adjusted
High Water Mark, by more than the cumulative Hurdle Rate, then the performance fee accrual is reduced to zero. No
additional performance fee can be accrued unless the cumulative return of a class of Shares since launch or since the last
performance fee has been paid, exceeds the Adjusted High Water Mark by more than the cumulative Hurdle Rate.
(vii) The annual performance fee payable to the Investment Manager is equal to the total performance fee accrual for the class
of Shares on the last Valuation Date of the Fund’s financial year, provided each class of Shares has been in existence for
the whole of that financial year. For any class of Shares launched during the Fund’s financial year, the performance fee
becomes payable on the last Valuation Date of the class of Shares’ first full financial year.
Where investors redeem or switch their Shares during the financial year, any performance fee accrual in respect of those Shares
will crystallise on that Valuation Date, but will not be paid to the Investment Manager until any annual performance fee is payable
as outlined in (vii) above. This is designed to ensure that Shareholders pay the correct performance fee for their respective holding
periods. This will not trigger an adjustment of the High Water Mark.
For a variety of reasons, different classes of Shares of the same fund may become subject to different amounts of performance
fee.
During periods of market volatility, unusual fluctuations may occur in the Net Asset Value per Share of each class of Shares for
which a performance fee is charged. These fluctuations may happen where the impact of a performance fee causes the Net Asset
Value per Share to be reduced whilst the returns from underlying assets have increased. Conversely, the impact of reducing the
performance fee accrual can cause the Net Asset Value per Share to be increased whilst the underlying assets have decreased.
Additionally, investors who purchase Shares at a time when the Net Asset Value per Share of a class of Shares is less than the
Adjusted High Water Mark for that class of Shares will benefit from any subsequent appreciation in the Net Asset Value per Share
as no performance fee will be accrued until the Adjusted High Water Mark has been reached.
Performance fees paid to the Investment Manager in any financial year are not refundable in any subsequent financial years.
It is important to note that the Investment Manager may waive any or all of its fees in respect of any fund at its discretion from time
to time.
The Board may make such adjustments of accruals as it deems appropriate to ensure that the accruals represent fairly and
accurately the performance fee liability that may eventually be payable by a class of Shares of a fund with a cash index as Market
Index to the Investment Manager.
In the case of liquidation or merger of a fund or Share Class to which a Performance Fee is applicable, the Performance Fee
should be crystallised on the last Valuation Date before the liquidation or merger of the relevant fund or Share Class.

fee paid by the Fund to the Depositary varies depending upon the markets in which the assets of the Fund are invested and
typically range from 0.003% to 0.35% of the net assets of the Fund (excluding transaction charges and reasonable disbursements
and out-of-pocket expenses).
functions delegated by the Depositary, the list of third-party delegates and any conflicts of interest that may arise from such
a delegation will be made available to investors on request at the Fund’s registered office.
Services Agreement
The Management Company and the Fund have appointed FIL Limited by a services agreement (the “Services Agreement”)
dated 1 June 2012, to provide services in relation to the investments of the funds including valuation, statistical, technical,
reporting and other assistance. The Management Company and/or FIL Limited has outsourced certain administration services
to other Fidelity group entities.
The Fund pays fees for the services noted in the Management Company Services Agreement and the Services Agreement at
commercial rates agreed from time to time between the parties plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. The maximum fee paid
for these services by the Fund will be 0.35% of the net assets (excluding reasonable out-of-pocket expenses).
The Agreements may be terminated by either party upon 90 days’ prior written notice.
Auditors
Deloitte Audit S.à r.l. has been appointed as the Fund’s Auditors. This appointment is subject to Shareholder approval at
each annual general meeting.
and bookkeeping; the cost of calculating the Net Asset Value of Shares of each fund; the cost of preparing, printing,
publishing and distributing or sending public notices and other communications (including electronic or conventional contract
notes) to the Shareholders; legal and auditing fees; registrar’s fees; and all similar charges and expenses. Administrative
and other expenses of a regular or recurring nature may be calculated on an estimated basis for yearly or other periods in
advance, and the same may be accrued in equal proportions over any such period.
Costs, charges and expenses which may be attributed to a fund will be borne by that fund; otherwise they will be allocated
in US Dollars pro rata to the Net Asset Value of all, or all appropriate, funds on such basis as the Board considers reasonable.
In so far as a fund invests in other UCITS or UCIs which are administered directly or by delegation by the Management Company
or another company to which the Management Company is linked by common management or control or by a substantial direct
or indirect holding or which is managed by a company in the FIL Group, the fund shall not be charged a subscription fee or a
redemption fee.
A portion of commissions paid to selected brokers for certain portfolio transactions may, where permitted by regulation, be
repaid to the funds which generated the commissions with these brokers and may be used to offset expenses.
Except as described in the Prospectus, no commissions, discounts, brokerage or other special terms have been granted by the
Fund or the Management Company in relation to Shares issued or to be issued by the Fund; on any issue or sale of Shares a
Distributor (including the General Distributor) may, out of its own pocket or out of the initial charges, if any, pay commissions or
other fees and charges on applications received through brokers and other professional agents or grant discounts.
Foreign exchange transactions for investors or the Fund may be effected on an arm’s length basis by or through FIL Group
companies from which a benefit may be derived by such companies.
The above fees may be permanently or temporarily waived or borne by the Investment Manager.
PART V
5. Investment Restrictions
5.1. Investment Powers and Safeguards for funds other than Cash funds
Under the Articles of Incorporation broad power is conferred on the Directors, based on the principle of spreading of risks and
subject to the Articles of Incorporation and Luxembourg law, to determine the corporate and investment policy for the Fund and
for the investment of each fund (other than Cash funds) and the investment restrictions which shall apply from time to time.
A. Investment Restrictions
I 1. The Fund may invest in:
a) Transferable Securities and Money Market Instruments admitted to or dealt in on an Eligible Market or admitted
to official listing on a stock exchange;
b) recently issued Transferable Securities and Money Market Instruments, provided that the terms of issue include
an undertaking that application will be made for admission to official listing on an Eligible Market and such
admission is secured within one year of the issue;
c) units/shares of UCITS and/or other UCIs, whether situated in a Member State of the European Economic Area
(a “Member State”) or not, provided that:
- such other UCIs have been authorised under such laws which provide that they are subject to supervision
considered by the CSSF to be equivalent to that laid down in EU law, and that cooperation between
authorities is sufficiently ensured,
- the level of protection for unitholders/shareholders in such other UCIs is equivalent to that provided for
unitholders/shareholders in a UCITS, and in particular that the rules on assets segregation, borrowing,
lending, and uncovered sales of Transferable Securities and Money Market Instruments are equivalent to
the requirements of directive 2009/65/EC,
- the business of such other UCIs is reported in half-yearly and annual reports to enable an assessment of
the assets and liabilities, income and operations over the reporting period,
- no more than 10% of the assets of the UCITS or of the other UCIs, whose acquisition is contemplated,
can, according to their constitutional documents, in aggregate be invested in units/shares of other UCITS
or other UCIs;
d) deposits with credit institutions which are repayable on demand or have the right to be withdrawn, and maturing
in no more than 12 months, provided that the credit institution has its registered office in a Member State or, if
the registered office of the credit institution is situated in a third country, provided that it is subject to prudential
rules considered by the CSSF as equivalent to those laid down in EU law;
e) financial derivative instruments, including equivalent cash-settled instruments, dealt in on an Eligible Market
and/or financial derivative instruments dealt in over-the-counter (‘OTC derivatives’), provided that:
- the underlying consists of instruments covered by this section I 1., financial indices, interest rates, foreign
exchange rates or currencies, in which the funds may invest according to their investment objective;
- the counterparties to OTC derivative transactions are institutions subject to prudential supervision, and
belonging to the categories approved by the Luxembourg supervisory authority;
- the OTC derivatives are subject to reliable and verifiable valuation on a daily basis and can be sold,
liquidated or closed by an offsetting transaction at any time at their fair value at the Fund’s initiative;
and/or
f) Money Market Instruments other than those dealt in on an Eligible Market and referred to under ‘Definitions’, if
the issue or the issuer of such instruments are themselves regulated for the purpose of protecting investors and
savings, and provided that such instruments are:
- issued or guaranteed by a central, regional or local authority or by a central bank of a Member State, the
European Central Bank, the EU or the European Investment Bank, a non Member State or, in case of a
Federal State, by one of the members making up the federation, or by a public international body to which
one or more Member States belong, or
- issued by an undertaking any securities of which are dealt in on Eligible Markets, or
- issued or guaranteed by an establishment subject to prudential supervision, in accordance with criteria
defined by EU law or by an establishment which is subject to and complies with prudential rules considered
by the CSSF to be at least as stringent as those laid down by EU law, or
- issued by other bodies belonging to the categories approved by the CSSF provided that investments in
such instruments are subject to investor protection equivalent to that laid down in the first, the second or
the third indent and provided that the issuer is a company whose capital and reserves amount to at least
ten million Euro (Euro 10,000,000) and which presents and publishes its annual accounts in accordance
with the fourth Directive 78/660/EEC, is an entity which, within a group of companies which includes one
or several listed companies, is dedicated to the financing of the group or is an entity which is dedicated to
the financing of securitisation vehicles which benefit from a banking liquidity line.
2. In addition, the Fund may invest a maximum of 10% of the net assets of any fund in Transferable Securities and
Money Market Instruments other than those referred to under 1. above.
3. Under the conditions and within the limits laid down by the Law of 2010, the Fund may, to the widest extent permitted
by the Luxembourg laws and regulations (i) create any fund qualifying either as a feeder UCITS (a “Feeder UCITS”)
or as a master UCITS (a “Master UCITS”), (ii) convert any existing fund into a Feeder UCITS, or (iii) change the
Master UCITS of any of its Feeder UCITS.
A Feeder UCITS shall invest at least 85% of its assets in the units of another Master UCITS. A Feeder UCITS may
hold up to 15% of its assets in one or more of the following:
- ancillary liquid assets in accordance with paragraph II;
- financial derivative instruments, which may be used only for hedging purposes;
- movable and immovable property which is essential for the direct pursuit of its business.
For the purposes of compliance with article 42 (3) of the Law of 2010, the Feeder UCITS shall calculate its global
exposure related to financial derivative instruments by combining its own direct exposure under the second indent of
the first sub-paragraph with either:
- the Master UCITS actual exposure to financial derivative instruments in proportion to the Feeder UCITS
investment into the Master UCITS; or
- the Master UCITS potential maximum global exposure to financial derivative instruments provided for in
the Master UCITS management regulations or instruments of incorporation in proportion to the Feeder
UCITS investment into the Master UCITS.
II The Fund may hold ancillary liquid assets up to 49% of the net assets of each fund; this percentage may exceptionally be
exceeded if the Directors consider this to be in the best interests of the Shareholders.
III 1. a) The Fund will invest no more than 10% of the net assets of any fund in Transferable Securities or Money Market
Instruments issued by the same issuing body.
b) The Fund may not invest more than 20% of the net assets of any fund in deposits made with the same body.
c) The risk exposure of a fund to a counterparty in an OTC derivative transaction may not exceed 10% of its net
assets when the counterparty is a credit institution referred to in I 1. d) above or 5% of its net assets in other
cases.
2. Moreover, where the Fund holds on behalf of a fund investments in Transferable Securities and Money Market
Instruments of issuing bodies which individually exceed 5% of the net assets of such fund, the total of all such
investments must not account for more than 40% of the total net assets of such fund.
This limitation does not apply to deposits and OTC derivative transactions made with financial institutions subject to
prudential supervision.
Notwithstanding the individual limits laid down in paragraph III 1., the Fund may not combine for each fund, where
this would lead to investment of more than 20% of its assets in a single body, any of the following:
- investments in Transferable Securities or Money Market Instruments issued by a single body,
- deposits made with a single body, and/or
- exposures arising from OTC derivative transactions undertaken with a single body.
3. The limit of 10% laid down in sub-paragraph 1. a) above is increased to a maximum of 35% in respect of Transferable
Securities or Money Market Instruments which are issued or guaranteed by a Member State, its local authorities, or
by another Eligible State or by public international bodies of which one or more Member States are members.
4. The limit of 10% laid down in sub-paragraph 1. a) is increased to 25% for certain bonds when they are issued by a
credit institution which has its registered office in a Member State and is subject by law, to special public supervision
designed to protect bondholders. In particular, sums deriving from the issue of these bonds must be invested in
conformity with the law in assets which, during the whole period of validity of the bonds, are capable of covering
claims attaching to the bonds and which, in case of bankruptcy of the issuer, would be used on a priority basis for
the repayment of principal and payment of the accrued interest.
If a fund invests more than 5% of its net assets in the bonds referred to in this sub-paragraph and issued by one
issuer, the total value of such investments may not exceed 80% of the net assets of the fund.
Notwithstanding the above provisions, the Fund is authorised to invest up to 100% of the net assets of any fund, in
accordance with the principle of risk spreading, in Transferable Securities and Money Market Instruments issued or
guaranteed by a Member State, its local authorities, a non-Member State of the EU accepted by the CSSF (being at
the date of this Prospectus OECD member State, Singapore or any member state of the G20) or by public
international bodies of which one or more Member States of the EU are members, provided that such fund must hold
securities from at least six different issues and securities from one issue do not account for more than 30% of the
net assets of such fund.
5. The Transferable Securities and Money Market Instruments referred to in paragraphs 3. and 4. shall not be included
in the calculation of the limit of 40% in paragraph 2.
The limits set out in sub-paragraphs 1., 2., 3. and 4. may not be aggregated and, accordingly, investments in
Transferable Securities or Money Market Instruments issued by the same issuing body, in deposits or in derivative
instruments effected with the same issuing body may not, in any event, exceed a total of 35% of any fund’s net
assets;
Companies which are part of the same group for the purposes of the establishment of consolidated accounts, as
defined in accordance with directive 83/349/EEC or in accordance with recognised international accounting rules,
are regarded as a single body for the purpose of calculating the limits contained in this paragraph III.
The Fund may cumulatively invest up to 20% of the net assets of a fund in Transferable Securities and Money Market
Instruments within the same group.
IV 1. Without prejudice to the limits laid down in paragraph V, the limits provided in paragraph III are raised to a maximum
of 20% for investments in shares and debt securities issued by the same issuing body if the aim of the investment
policy of a fund is to replicate the composition of a certain stock or bond index which is sufficiently diversified,
represents an adequate benchmark for the market to which it refers, is published in an appropriate manner and
disclosed in the relevant fund’s investment policy.
2. The limit laid down in paragraph 1. is raised to 35% where this proves to be justified by exceptional market conditions,
in particular on Regulated Markets where certain Transferable Securities or Money Market Instruments are highly
dominant. The investment up to this limit is only permitted for a single issuer.
V 1. The Fund may not acquire shares carrying voting rights which should enable it to exercise significant influence over
the management of an issuing body.
2. The Fund may acquire for each fund no more than:
- 10% of the non-voting shares of the same issuer;
- 10% of the debt securities of the same issuer;
- 25% of the units of the same UCITS or other UCI;
- 10% of the Money Market Instruments of the same issuer.
3. These limits under second and fourth indents may be disregarded at the time of acquisition, if at that time the gross
amount of debt securities or of the Money Market Instruments cannot be calculated.
The provisions of paragraph V shall not be applicable to Transferable Securities and Money Market Instruments
issued or guaranteed by a Member State or its local authorities or by any non – Member State of the EU, or issued
by public international bodies of which one or more Member States of the EU are members.
These provisions are also waived as regards shares held by the Fund in the capital of a company incorporated in a
non-Member State of the EU which invests its assets mainly in the securities of issuing bodies having their registered
office in that State, where under the legislation of that State, such a holding represents the only way in which the
Fund can invest in the securities of issuing bodies of that State provided that the investment policy of the company
from the non-Member State of the EU complies with the limits laid down in paragraph III, V 1. and 2. and VI.
The limits set forth here above also do not apply when investments of any fund are made in the capital of subsidiary
companies which, exclusively on behalf of the Fund or such fund carry on only the business of management, advice
or marketing in the country where the subsidiary is located, with regard to the redemption of Shares at the request
of Shareholders.
VI 1. Unless otherwise specifically permitted for a fund in its investment objective, each fund may not acquire units/shares
of UCITS and/or other UCIs referred to in paragraph I. c) in aggregate for more than 10% of its net assets. When a
fund is specifically permitted to invest more than 10% of its net assets in units/shares of UCITS and/or other UCIs,
this fund will not be allowed to invest more than 20% of its assets in the units/shares of a single UCITS or other UCI.
For the purpose of the application of this investment limit, each compartment of a UCITS or UCI is to be considered
as a separate issuer provided that the principle of segregation of the obligations of the various compartments vis-à-
vis third parties is ensured. Investment made in units/shares of UCIs other than UCITS may not in aggregate exceed
30% of the assets of a fund.
2. The underlying investments held by the UCITS or other UCIs in which the Fund invests do not have to be considered
for the purpose of the investment restrictions set forth under III above.
3. When the Fund invests in the units of UCITS and/or other UCIs that are managed, directly or by delegation, by the
Investment Manager or by any other company with which the Investment Manager is linked by common management
or control, or by a substantial direct or indirect holding, no subscription or redemption fees may be charged to the
Fund on account of its investment in the units of such other UCITS and/or UCIs.
In the event a fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in UCITS and other UCIs, the total management fee
(excluding any performance fee, if any) charged to such fund and each of the UCITS or other UCIs concerned shall
not exceed 3% of the relevant net assets under management. The Fund will indicate in its annual report the total
management fees charged both to the relevant fund and to the UCITS and other UCIs in which such fund has
invested during the relevant period.
4. The Fund may acquire no more than 25% of the units of the same UCITS or other UCI. This limit may be disregarded
at the time of acquisition if at that time the net amount of the units in issue cannot be calculated. In case of a UCITS
or other UCI with multiple compartments, this restriction is applicable by reference to all units issued by the UCITS
or other UCI concerned, all compartments combined.
5. A fund (the “feeding fund”) may subscribe, acquire and/or hold securities to be issued or issued by one or more funds
of the Fund (each a “recipient fund”) provided that;
a) The feeding fund may not invest more than 10% of its net asset value in a single recipient fund, this limit being
increased to 20% if the feeding fund is permitted, pursuant to its investment objective, to invest more than 10%
of its net assets in the units of UCITS or other UCIs or in one single such UCITS or other UCIs; and
b) The recipient fund does not, in turn, invest in the feeding fund; and
c) The investment policy of the recipient funds whose acquisition is contemplated does not allow such recipient
funds to invest more than 10% of its net asset value in UCITS and other UCIs; and
d) Voting rights, if any, attaching to the Shares of the recipient funds held by the feeding fund are suspended for
as long as they are held by the feeding fund concerned and without prejudice to the appropriate processing in
the accounts and the periodic reports; and in any event, for as long as these securities are held by the feeding
fund, their value will not be taken into consideration for the calculation of the net assets of the Fund for the
purposes of verifying the minimum threshold of the net assets imposed by the Law of 2010; and
e) To the extent required by Luxembourg law, there is no duplication of management/subscription or redemption
fees between those at the level of the feeding fund.
VII The Fund shall ensure for each fund that the global exposure relating to derivative instruments does not exceed the net
assets of the relevant fund. A fund’s global exposure shall consequently not exceed 200% of its total net assets. In addition,
this global exposure may not be increased by more than 10% by means of temporary borrowings (as referred to in
section B. 2. below) so that it may not exceed 210% of any fund’s total net assets under any circumstances.
The exposure is calculated taking into account the current value of the underlying assets, the counterparty risk, foreseeable
market movements and the time available to liquidate the positions. This shall also apply to the following subparagraphs.
If the Fund invests in financial derivative instruments, the exposure to the underlying assets may not exceed in aggregate
the investment limits laid down in paragraph III above. When the Fund invests in index-based financial derivative
instruments, these investments do not have to be combined to the limits laid down in paragraph III.
When a transferable security or Money Market Instrument embeds a derivative, the latter must be taken into account when
complying with the requirements of this paragraph VII.
VIII 1. The Fund may not borrow for the account of any fund amounts in excess of 10% of the net assets of that fund. Any
such borrowings must be from banks and effected only on a temporary basis, provided that the Fund may acquire
foreign currencies by means of back to back loans.
2. The Fund may not grant loans to or act as guarantor on behalf of third parties.
This restriction shall not prevent the Fund from acquiring Transferable Securities, Money Market Instruments or other
financial instruments referred to in I 1. c), e) and f) which are not fully paid.
3. The Fund may not carry out uncovered sales of Transferable Securities, Money Market Instruments or other financial
instruments.
4. The Fund may not acquire movable or immovable property.
5. The Fund may not acquire either precious metals or certificates representing them.
IX 1. The Fund needs not comply with the limits laid down in this chapter when exercising subscription rights attaching to
Transferable Securities or Money Market Instruments which form part of its assets. While ensuring observance of
the principle of risk spreading, recently created funds may derogate from paragraphs III, IV and VI 1., 2. and 3. for a
period of six months following the date of their creation.
2. If the limits referred to in paragraph 1. are exceeded for reasons beyond the control of the Fund or as a result of the
exercise of subscription rights, it must adopt as a priority objective for its sales transactions the remedying of that
situation, taking due account of the interest of its Shareholders.
3. To the extent that an issuer is a legal entity with multiple compartments where the assets of the compartment are
exclusively reserved to the investors in such compartment and to those creditors whose claim has arisen in
connection with the creation, operation or liquidation of that compartment, each compartment is to be considered as
a separate issuer for the purpose of the application of the risk spreading rules set out in paragraphs III, IV and VI.
B. Other Safeguards
In addition, the Fund shall not:
1. borrow money except on a short-term basis, and then only to the extent of 10% of the total value of the net assets of
the Fund;
2. mortgage, pledge, charge or in any manner transfer as security for indebtedness any assets of the Fund other than
as may be necessary in connection with permitted borrowings (within the above limit of 10%) except that the

E. Securities Lending and Borrowing and Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Transactions
In accordance with the applicable Luxembourg law and in particular the provisions of article 11 of the Grand-Ducal
Regulation of 8 February 2008 as well as the CSSF’s circulars and guidance, the Investment Manager in relation to each
fund may for the purpose of Efficient Portfolio Management (a) enter, either as purchaser or seller, into repurchase
transactions (opérations à réméré) and reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements transactions (operations de
prise/mise en pension) and (b) engage in securities lending transactions. Further details with respect to the use of any of
the abovementioned transactions are set out below.
Repurchase transactions are governed by an agreement whereby the owner of the asset agrees to sell a security to
another party in exchange for cash collateral and agrees to repurchase it on a specified date for a specified (higher) price.
A Reverse Repurchase transaction is the opposite transaction whereby the cash holder agrees to sell the cash to another
party in exchange for security collateral and agrees to repurchase the cash on a specified date for a specified (higher)
value.
The Fund intends to engage in repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions for the purpose of Efficient Portfolio
Management and in accordance with the expected and maximum levels disclosed under Appendix III to this prospectus.
The Fund may only enter into reverse repurchase agreement and/or repurchase agreement transactions provided that it
is able at any time (a) to recall the full amount of cash in a reverse repurchase agreement or any securities subject to a
repurchase agreement, or (b) to terminate the agreement in accordance with applicable regulations and subject to
prevailing repurchase agreement market rates. In this context, fixed-term transactions that do not exceed seven days
should be considered as arrangements on terms that allow the assets to be recalled at any time by the Fund.
Repurchase agreement transactions and reverse repurchase agreement transactions will be entered into opportunistically
and on a temporary basis, in circumstances where the Investment Manager considers that the market rates will allow the
relevant fund to benefit from more efficient cash management or improved portfolio returns when entering into any of these
transactions.
For further information in respect of repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase transactions entered into by Money
Market funds, please refer to section 5.2. Investment Powers and Safeguards for Cash funds.
• Counterparties
The counterparties to such transactions must be subject to prudential supervision rules considered by the CSSF as
equivalent to those prescribed by EU law and specialised in this type of transaction. The counterparties to such
transactions will generally be financial institutions based in an OECD member state and having an investment grade credit
rating. The selected counterparties comply with Article 3 of the SFTR Regulation.
With regards to repurchase transactions or reverse repurchase transactions, 100% of the revenues (or losses) generated
by their execution are allocated to the funds. The Investment Manager do not charge any additional costs or fees or receive
any additional revenues in connection with these transactions. Further details on the actual return are published in the
Fund’s annual reports and accounts.
2.Securities Lending
Securities lending transaction consists in a transaction whereby the Fund transfers security subject to a commitment that a
borrower will return equivalent securities on a future date or when requested to do so by the Fund.
The Fund intends to engage in securities lending transactions on stocks, other equity securities instruments, and bonds
for the purpose of Efficient Portfolio Management and in accordance with the expected and maximum levels disclosed
under Appendix III to this prospectus. None of the funds enter into margin lending transactions as at the date of this
prospectus.
Securities lending transactions will be entered into depending on the market opportunities and in particular depending on
the market demand for the securities held in each fund’s portfolio at any time and the expected revenues of the transaction
compared to the market conditions on the investment side.
Securities lending transactions to be entered into exclusively aim to generate additional capital or income. As such, there
is no restriction on the frequency under which a fund may engage into such type of transactions.
Under no circumstances shall the above mentioned operations cause a fund to diverge from its investment objective as
laid down in the Prospectus or result in additional risk higher than its profile as described in the Prospectus.
The Management Company will ensure to maintain the volume of these transactions at a level such that is able, at all times,
to meet redemption requests.
• Counterparties
The counterparties to such securities lending must be subject to prudential supervision rules considered by the CSSF as
equivalent to those prescribed by EU law and specialised in this type of transaction. The counterparties to such
transactions will generally be financial institutions based in an OECD member state and having an investment grade credit
rating. The selected counterparties comply with Article 3 of the SFTR Regulation.
With regards to the securities lending transactions, 87.5% of the gross revenue arising from such transactions are returned
to the funds, while a 12.5% fee is paid to the Lending Agent (which is not an affiliate of the Investment Manager). Any
operational costs (whether direct or indirect) borne by the Lending Agent from such securities lending activities are covered
out of its fee. Further details on the actual return are published in the Fund’s annual reports and accounts.
The Fund has appointed Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., a New York limited partnership with an office in Boston,
Massachusetts and Citibank N.A., London Branch (both a “Lending Agent”) to carry out the securities lending transactions
and the management of the collateral. Neither Lending Agent is an affiliate of the Investment Manager.
F. Management of collateral for Securities Lending, Repurchase and OTC Financial Derivative Transactions
With respect to securities lending transactions, the Fund will generally require the borrower to post collateral representing,
at any time during the lifetime of the agreement, at least 105% of the total value of the securities lent in the case of equity
securities and at least 102% of the total value of the securities lent in the case of bonds. Repurchase agreement and
reverse repurchase agreements will generally be collateralised, at any time during the lifetime of the agreement, at a
minimum of 100% of their notional amount.
Collateral with regard to securities lending transactions and OTC Financial Derivative Transactions must be in the form of:
(i) liquid assets (i.e., cash and short term bank certificates, money market instruments as defined in Council Directive
2007/16/EC of 19 March 2007) and their equivalent (including letters of credit and a guarantee at first-demand given by a
first class credit institution not affiliated to the counterparty); (ii) bonds issued or guaranteed by a Member State of the OECD
or their local authorities or by supranational institutions and undertakings with EU, regional or world-wide scope; (iii) shares
or units issued by Money Market Funds calculating a net asset value on a daily basis and assigned a rating of AAA or its
equivalent; (iv) shares or units issued by UCITS investing mainly in bonds/shares satisfying the conditions under (v) and
(vi) hereafter; (v) bonds issued or guaranteed by first class issuers offering an adequate liquidity; or (vi) shares admitted to
or dealt in on a Regulated Market or on a stock exchange of a Member State of the OECD, provided that these shares are
included in a main index. Securities that are the subject of purchase with a repurchase option or that may be purchased in
reverse purchase agreements are limited to the type of securities mentioned under items (i), (ii), (iii), (v) and (vi).
Cash collateral received by the Fund in relation to these transactions will not be reinvested unless otherwise specifically
permitted for a specific fund in the Prospectus. In that event, cash collateral received by such fund in relation to any of
these transactions may be reinvested in a manner consistent with the investment objectives of such fund in (a) shares or
units issued by money market undertakings for collective investment calculating a daily net asset value and being assigned
a rating of AAA or its equivalent, (b) short-term bank deposits, (c) money market instruments as defined in the above
referred Regulation of 2008, (d) short-term bonds issued or guaranteed by an EU member state, Switzerland, Canada,
Japan or the United States or by their local authorities or by supranational institutions and undertakings with EU, regional
or world-wide scope, (e) bonds issued or guaranteed by first class issuers offering an adequate liquidity, and (f) reverse
repurchase agreement transactions according to the provisions described under section I.C.a) of the above referred CSSF
Circular. Such reinvestment will be taken into account for the calculation of each concerned fund’s global exposure relating
to derivative instruments, in particular if it creates a leverage effect.
Non-cash collateral received with regards to such transactions will not be sold, re-invested or pledged.
Collateral received must fall within eligibility criteria, as defined in the Law of 2010 and the above referred Regulation of
2008 and be designed to provide high liquidity with easy pricing, a robust sale price that is close to pre-sale valuation
together with, a low correlation with the counterparties to provide collateral pricing independence and high-grade credit
rating. The collateral is valued daily and a hair-cut is applied to non-cash collateral. Haircuts will not be applied to cash
collateral. Collateral is diversified and monitored to be in line with the Fund’s counterparty limits.
OTC Financial Derivative transactions Cash (USD, EUR, GBP, AUD or JPY) 0%
The risks linked to the management of collateral, such as operational and legal risks, are identified, managed and mitigated
by the risk management process.
For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this section are also applicable to the Cash funds provided they are not
incompatible with the provisions of MMFR.
G. Total Return Swaps and other Financial Derivative instruments with similar characteristics
Total Return Swaps ("TRS") are derivative contracts in which one counterparty transfers the total economic performance,
including income from dividends, coupons, interest and fees, gains and losses from price movements, and credit losses,
of a reference obligation to another counterparty.
The Fund intends to use TRS or other financial derivative instruments with similar characteristics (at the time of this
Prospectus, “contracts for difference”) (the “TRS/CFD Transactions”) in accordance with the provisions on the use of
financial derivative instruments set forth in their investment policy and within the maximum and expected levels disclosed
under Appendix III to this prospectus.
Whenever the Fund will be using TRS/CFD Transactions the following will apply:
a) the TRS/CFD Transactions will be undertaken on single name equity and fixed income instruments or financial indices
all of which are eligible assets for UCITS under EU law and regulation;
b) each trading counterparty to the TRS/CFD Transactions will be subject to prudential supervision rules considered by
the CSSF as equivalent to those prescribed by EU law and specialised in such TRS/CFD Transactions;
c) risks borne by the respective funds and Shareholders are described in Part I, 1.2., X. “Derivatives Related Risks” of
the Prospectus;
d) the TRS/CFD Transactions will be undertaken in accordance with the requirements detailed in Part V 5. “Investment
Restrictions”, 5.1. “Investment Powers and Safeguards” of the Prospectus;
e) no trading counterparty will assume discretion over the composition or management of the relevant fund’s investment
portfolio or over the underlying of the financial derivative instruments; and
f) none of the Fund’s investment portfolio transactions will require approval by third party.
The following type of assets can be subject to TRS/CFD: single name equity and fixed income instruments or financial
indices.
Similar to repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions, 100% of the revenues (or losses) generated by the
execution of TRS/CFDs transactions are allocated to the funds. The Investment Manager do not charge any additional
costs or fees or receive any additional revenues in connection with these transactions. Whilst additional costs may be
inherent in certain products (e.g. the financing leg on a CFD), these are imposed by the counterparty based on market
pricing, form part of the revenues or losses generated by the relevant product, and are allocated 100% to the funds.
Details on the actual return and cost for each type of SFT and TRS/CFD (in absolute terms and as a percentage of
overall returns generated by that type of STF or TRS/CFD) are published in the fund’s annual reports and accounts.

attaching to securities which form part of its assets.
2. Such restrictions shall apply to each fund, as well as to the Fund as a whole.
3. If the investment limit percentages set out above are exceeded as a result of events or actions after investment that
are beyond the control of the Fund or by reason of the exercise of subscription rights attaching to securities held by
it, the Fund shall give priority, consistent with the best interests of Shareholders, upon sale of securities to disposing
of these securities to the extent that they exceed such percentages; provided, however, that in any case where the
foregoing percentages are lower than relevant percentages imposed by Luxembourg Law, the Fund need not give
priority to disposing of such securities until the law’s higher limits have been exceeded, and then only to the extent
of such excess.
4. The Fund follows a risk-spreading policy regarding the investment of cash and other liquid assets.

Investment Manager, any of its delegates and/or any of their Connected Persons goods, services or other benefits
(such as research and advisory services, where permitted by regulation only) (“soft dollar arrangements”), the nature
of which is such that their provision can reasonably be expected to benefit the Fund as a whole and may contribute
to an improvement in the Fund’s performance and that of the Investment Manager or any of its delegates in providing
services to the Fund and for which no direct payment is made but instead the Investment Manager, any of its
delegates and/or any of their Connected Persons undertake to place business with that party. For the avoidance of
doubt, such goods and services do not include travel, accommodation, entertainment, general administrative goods
or services, general office equipment or premises, membership fees, employee salaries or direct money payments.

in respect of any business placed with such broker or dealer by the Investment Manager, any of its delegates and/or
any of their Connected Persons for or on behalf of the Fund. Any such cash commission rebate received from any
such broker or dealer shall be held by the Investment Manager, any of its delegates and/or any of their Connected
Persons for the account of the Fund. Brokerage rates will not be excessive of customary institutional full-service
brokerage rates. All transactions will be done with best execution. The availability of soft dollar arrangements may
not be the sole or primary purpose to perform or arrange transaction with such broker or dealer.
8. Any fund having exposure to a financial index will rebalance its portfolio in accordance with the rebalancing of the
securities representing the index, when it is an index tracking fund or, when not specifically replicating the index, in
line with the fund’s strategy. The effects on the costs will depend on the rebalancing frequency.

15% of its assets may be deposited with the same credit institution.
ii) By way of derogation from III) a) i) first paragraph above, a Cash fund may invest up to 10% of its
assets in Money Market Instruments, securitisations and ABCPs issued by the same body provided

ix) The limit laid down in the first paragraph of III) a) i) may be of a maximum of 10% for certain bonds
when they are issued by a single credit institution which has its registered office in a Member State
of the EU and is subject by law, to special public supervision designed to protect bondholders. In
particular, sums deriving from the issue of these bonds must be invested in accordance with the law,
in assets which, during the whole period of validity of the bonds, are capable of covering claims
attached to the bonds and which, in case of failure of the issuer, would be used on a priority basis
for the repayment of the principal and payment of accrued interest.
If a Cash fund invests more than 5% of its assets in the bonds referred to in the above paragraph
and issued by a single issuer, the total value of such investments may not exceed 40% of the value
of the assets of the Cash fund.
x) Notwithstanding the individual limits laid down in III) a) i) the Cash fund may invest no more than

Companies which are part of the same group for the purposes of the establishment of consolidated
accounts, as defined in accordance with Directive 2013/34/EU or in accordance with recognised
international accounting rules, are regarded as a single body for the purpose of calculating the limits
contained in section III) a).
IV) a) The Fund may not acquire on behalf of any Cash fund more than 10% of Money Market Instruments,

Stability Mechanism, the European Financial Stability Facility, a central authority or central bank of a third
country (i.e. a member state of the OECD, Group of Twenty or Singapore), the International Monetary

Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Bank for International Settlements,
or any other relevant international financial institution or organisation to which one or more Member States
of the EU belong.
V) a) A Cash fund may acquire units or shares of targeted Money Market Funds as defined under paragraph I)
E) provided that, in principle, no more than 10% in total of a Cash fund's assets be invested in units or
shares of targeted Money Market Funds.
A specific Cash fund may be allowed to invest more than 10% of its assets in units of other targeted
Money Market Funds in which case it will be explicitly mentioned in its investment objective.
b) A Cash fund may acquire units or shares of another targeted Money Market Fund provided that it
represents no more than 5% of a Cash fund’s assets.
c) Any Cash fund which is allowed to derogate from the first paragraph of item V) a) above may not invest
in aggregate more than 17.5% of its assets in units or shares of other targeted Money Market Funds.
d) By derogation to b) and c) above, any Cash fund may either:
(i) be a feeder Money Market Fund investing at least 85% of its assets in one other single targeted
Money Market Fund UCITS in accordance with Article 58 of the UCITS Directive; or
(ii) invest up until 20% of its assets in other targeted Money Market Funds with a maximum of
30% in aggregate of its assets in targeted Money Market Funds which are not UCITS in
accordance with Article 55 of the UCITS Directive,
provided that the following conditions are met:
a. the relevant Cash fund is marketed solely through an employee savings scheme governed by
national law and which has only natural persons as investors;
b. the employee savings scheme referred to above only allows investors to redeem their
investment subject to restrictive redemption terms which are laid down in national law,
whereby redemptions may only take place in certain circumstances that are not linked to
market developments.
e) Where the target Money Market Fund is managed, whether directly or under a delegation, by the
Management Company or by any other company to which the Management Company is linked by
common management or control, or by a substantial direct or indirect holding, the Management Company
or that other company, is prohibited from charging subscription or redemption fees.
In respect of a Cash fund's investments in the target Money Market Fund linked to the Fund as described
in the preceding paragraph, there shall be no management fee charged to that portion of the assets of
the relevant Cash fund. The Fund will indicate in its annual report the total management fees charged
both to the relevant Cash fund and to the target Money Market Fund in which such Cash fund has invested
during the relevant period.
f) The underlying investments held by the targeted Money Market Fund in which a Cash fund invests do not
have to be considered for the purpose of the investment restrictions set forth under III) a) above.
g) Any Cash fund may act as a master fund for other funds.
h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Cash fund may subscribe, acquire and/or hold securities to be issued or
issued by one or more Cash fund(s) qualifying as Money Market Funds without the Fund being subject to
the requirements of the Law of 10 August 1915 on commercial companies, as amended, with respect to
the subscription, acquisition and/or the holding by a company of its own shares, under the condition
however that:
1. the target Money Market Fund does not, in turn, invest in the relevant Cash fund invested in
this target Money Market Fund; and
2. no more than 10% of the assets that the target Money Market Funds whose acquisition is
contemplated may be invested in units of other Money Market Funds; and
3. voting rights, if any, attaching to the shares of the target Money Market Fund are suspended for
as long as they are held by the Cash fund concerned and without prejudice to the appropriate
processing in the accounts and the periodic reports; and
4. in any event, for as long as these securities are held by the Cash fund, their value will not be
taken into consideration for the calculation of the net assets of the Cash fund for the purposes
of verifying the minimum threshold of the net assets imposed by the Luxembourg Law.
VI) In addition, the Fund will not, on behalf of any Cash fund:
a) invest in assets other than those referred to under I) above;
b) short sale Money Market Instruments, securitisations, ABCPs and units or shares of other Money Market
Funds;
c) take direct or indirect exposure to equity or commodities, including via derivatives, certificates
representing them, indices based on them, or any other means or instrument that would give an exposure
to them.
d) enter into securities lending agreements or securities borrowing agreements, or any other agreement that
would encumber the assets of the Fund; or
e) borrow and/or lend cash.
Each Cash fund must ensure an adequate spread of investment risks by sufficient diversification.
VII) The Fund will in addition comply with such further restrictions as may be required by the regulatory authorities in which the
Shares of the Cash funds are marketed, as further detail on Section 5.3. "Additional Country Specific Information and/or
Investment Restrictions for funds registered in France, Germany, Hong Kong & Macau, Korea, Singapore, South Africa,
Taiwan" below.
Portfolio rules
Since each of the Cash funds qualifies as a Short-Term Variable Net Asset Value Money Market Funds, it shall also comply on
an ongoing basis with all of the following requirements:
– its portfolio is to have a WAM of no more than 60 days; and
– its portfolio is to have a WAL of no more than 120 days.
– at least 7,5 % of the total net assets of a Cash Fund are to be comprised of daily maturing assets, reverse repurchase
agreements which are able to be terminated by giving prior notice of one working day, or cash which is able to be withdrawn by
giving prior notice of one working day.
– at least 15 % of its total net assets of a Cash Fund are to be comprised of weekly maturing assets, reverse repurchase
agreements which are able to be terminated by giving prior notice of five working days, or cash which is able to be withdrawn by
giving prior notice of five working days. For the purpose of such calculation, money market instruments or units or shares of other
Money Market Funds may be included within the weekly maturing assets of the relevant Cash Fund up to a limit of 7,5 % of its
total net assets provided they are able to be redeemed and settled within five working days.
If the limits referred to under this paragraph are exceeded for reasons beyond the control of the Fund, acting on behalf of a Cash
fund qualifying as Short-Term Money Market Fund, or as a result of the exercise of subscription or redemption rights, that Fund
shall adopt as a priority objective the correction of that situation, taking due account of the interests of the Shareholders.
5.3 Additional Country Specific Information and/or Investment Restrictions for funds registered
in France, Hong Kong & Macau, Korea, Singapore, South Africa, Taiwan
The following information is accurate as of the date of issuing of the present prospectus.
1. Each of the Cash funds must maintain an average portfolio maturity not exceeding 90 days and must not purchase
an instrument with a remaining maturity of more than one year, or two years in the case of government and other
public securities. The aggregate value of investments by a Cash fund in deposits, Transferable Securities and
Money Market Instruments issued by or placed with the same issuing body may not exceed 10% of the net assets
of the Cash fund except: (a) in the case of deposits, where the issuer is a substantial financial institution (as such
term is defined under the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission’s Code on Unit Trust and Mutual Funds)
and the total amount does not exceed 10% of the issuer’s issued capital and published reserves, in which case the
limit may be increased to 25% of the net assets of the Cash fund; and (b) in the case of Transferable Securities or
Money Market Instruments which are issued or guaranteed by a Member State, its local authorities, a non-member
State of the EU accepted by the CSSF or by public international bodies of which one or more Member States of the
EU are members, this limit is increased to 100% provided that the Cash fund holds securities from at least six
different issues and securities from one issue do not account for more than 30% of the net assets of the Cash fund.
The debt securities which the Cash funds invest in are monitored on an ongoing basis, including as regards credit
quality. Credit research of the debt securities involve qualitative and quantitative analysis as well as peer group
comparison.
2. For those funds authorized for sale in Hong Kong, the threshold for deferral of redemption and/or conversion
requests shall be 10% of the issued Shares of a fund.
3. The ‘Redemption in Specie’ section shall generally apply to Hong Kong Shareholders of the Fund. Furthermore,
without prejudice to the obligations of the Fund’s Directors to protect Shareholders against the effects of market
timing or investors who in their opinion, have a pattern of short-term or excessive trading or whose trading has been
or may be disruptive to the Fund, Hong Kong investors with redemption requests of USD 100,000 or above dealing
with the Fund through FIMHK must consent before receiving net redemption proceeds in the form of an in specie
transfer. Hong Kong Investors may elect to receive a cash payment of redemption proceeds, in which case FIMHK
shall arrange for the sale of the in-specie securities. The Hong Kong investors electing to receive a cash payment
of redemption proceeds would bear the costs associated with disposing of the in-specie securities and the market
risks associated with such disposal. Cash redemption proceeds would be payable on the completion of the sale of
all in specie securities.
4. (i) For funds that have stated clearly in the investment objectives that they may have direct access to the China
A Share and B Share markets and/or to onshore China fixed income securities listed or traded on any Eligible
Market in China (collectively referred to under this section as “Onshore Chinese Securities”), it is currently
intended that, unless stated in the investment objective of the relevant fund that it may directly or indirectly
invest in excess of 30% of its Net Asset Value in aggregate in Onshore Chinese Securities, each fund may
directly or indirectly invest less than 30% of its Net Asset Value in aggregate in Onshore Chinese Securities.
“Eligible Market in China” refers to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange or the
mainland China interbank bond market, as the case may be.
(ii) For funds that have not stated in their investment objectives that they may have direct access to Onshore
Chinese Securities, it is currently intended that each such fund will not directly or indirectly invest more than
10% of its Net Asset Value in Onshore Chinese Securities on an aggregated basis.
(iii) Should the investment policy in sub-paragraphs (i) and (ii) above change in the future, the Fund’s Prospectus
will be updated and requisite notification (where required) will be given to the Fund’s Shareholders. This will
also be disclosed in the investment objectives of the relevant funds.
(iv) Any direct access to Onshore Chinese Securities may be obtained via the QFII status of FIL Investment
Management (Hong Kong) Limited or through any permissible means available to the funds under prevailing
laws and regulations (including, in respect of China A Shares, via the Stock Connect or in the case of onshore
China fixed income securities, via the China interbank bond market, or any other eligible means). Any indirect
access to Onshore Chinese Securities may be obtained through financial instruments that invest in or are
linked to the performance of Onshore Chinese Securities, e.g. via equity-linked notes, participation notes
and/or credit-linked notes, as the case may be.
5. The Management Company, the Investment Manager and the investment advisers or anyone acting on behalf of
the Fund, the Management Company, the Investment Manager and the investment advisers (as applicable), when
investing for the Fund in units/shares of UCITS and/or other UCIs, may not obtain, for their own account, any rebate
on any fees or charges levied by such UCITS and/or other UCIs or their management companies, if any or any
quantifiable monetary benefits in connection with investments in any of such UCITS and/or other UCIs.
6. Those funds authorised for sale in Hong Kong will not invest more than 10% of their Net Asset Value in securities
issued by or guaranteed by any single country (including its government, a public or local authority of that country)
with a credit rating below investment grade within the meaning assigned to them in Part I. section 1.4.4 of this
Prospectus.
7. Unless otherwise specified in a fund’s investment objective, those funds authorized for sale in Hong Kong (other
than the Equity funds, Cash funds and Institutional Reserved Equity funds) may invest in instruments with loss-
absorption features which may include instruments classified as Additional Tier 1/Tier 2 capital instruments, Cocos,
non-preferred senior bonds which may also be known as Tier 3 bonds and other instruments eligible to count as
loss-absorbing capacity under the resolution regime for financial institution, in compliance with their investment
policy and limits as further disclosed in Part I of the Prospectus. These instruments may be subject to contingent
write-down or contingent conversion to ordinary shares on the occurrence of trigger event(s). In compliance with the
requirements and guidance issued by the SFC, such investment will at all times remain below 50% of the funds’ Net
Asset Value.
8. Except for the funds listed below, the net derivative exposure of each of the funds authorised for sale in Hong Kong
may be up to 50% of the relevant fund’s Net Asset Value.
(i) Fidelity Funds - Flexible Bond Fund and Fidelity Funds - Sustainable Strategic Bond Fund – the fund’s net
derivative exposure may be more than 100% of the fund’s Net Asset Value;
(ii) Fidelity Funds - Global Inflation-linked Bond Fund – the fund’s net derivative exposure may be more than
50% but up to 100% of the relevant fund’s Net Asset Value.
The term “net derivative exposure” means a fund’s net exposure relating to the financial derivative instruments
acquired by the fund and should be calculated in accordance with the requirements and guidance issued by the
SFC which may be updated from time to time
1 For the avoidance of doubt, REITs (both local and foreign listed) and exchange-traded funds are also classified as Collective Investment Schemes under CPFIG. The
Board’s prior approval is required when the aggregate exposure to CIS exceeds 5%. If a Fund has a benchmark whereby REITs make up a substantial part of the benchmark,
the aggregate exposure to CIS (including REITs) can be up to 5% or REITs’ total weightage in the benchmark plus 2%, whichever is higher.
2 The single entity limit of 10% and single group limit of 20% (where applicable) will be imposed on the issuer of the depositary receipts as well as the underlying shares.
Non-Voting Depositary Receipts (NVDRs), CHESS Depositary Interests issued by the CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty Limited (CDIs), Taiwan Depositary Receipts (TDRs),
American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs) are deemed to be “depositary receipts” under CPFIG.
Other than these, the Board’s prior approval should be sought.
2. Diversification
2.1. Any Fund offered by FMCs under CPFIS must be reasonably diversified (e.g. in terms of type of investment,
market, industry, issuer, etc., as appropriate), taking into account the type and size of the Fund, its investment
objectives, and prevailing market conditions.
2.2. FMCs must adopt appropriate investment limits or operating ranges (by market, asset class, issuer etc.) for
each Fund.
3. Deposits and Account Balances with Financial Institutions 1
For the purpose of this paragraph, a rating refers to a solicited rating and not a "pi" ("public information") rating.
3.1. Funds may place monies with financial institutions with Baseline Credit Assessment of above a3 by Moody’s
or viability ratings of above bbb by Fitch. Branches of a financial institution are deemed to have the same
credit ratings as their head office. However, subsidiaries of financial institutions must have their own credit
ratings.
3.1A If a financial institution does not have the requisite ratings in para 3.1, it will be deemed to satisfy the ratings
under para 3.1 as long as:
a) its parent company satisfies the requisite rating in para 3.1; and
b) its parent company provides an explicit guarantee for the financial institution such that if the financial
institution fails to fulfil its financial obligation to the Fund, the parent company is liable to do so.
3.2. Where a rated financial institution with which the Fund has placed monies ceases to meet the requisite
minimum rating, the placement will be classified as a prohibited investment and will fall under the deviation
limit of 5% in para 9.1. Thus, the FMC should as soon as practicable but in any event within 1 month, withdraw
the monies. In the case of a fixed deposit, if the FMC satisfies the trustee that it is not in the best interest of
unit holders to withdraw the deposits within 1 month, the trustee may, subject to the following conditions,
extend the 1-month period:
• the deposit must not be rolled over or renewed;
• the deposit is not put at substantial risk; and
• such extension is subject to monthly review by the trustee.
3.3. For financial institutions that are custodians or sub-custodians, these additional rules apply:
a) If the custodian or sub-custodian holds cash deposits from CPFIS funds and does not place them with
other financial institutions, the custodian or sub-custodian must fulfil the requirements in para 3.1 or
para 3.1A. Otherwise, the custodian or sub-custodian may obtain a guarantee from a third-party financial
institution that fulfils the requirement in para 3.1 or para 3.1A.
b) If the custodian or sub-custodian does not hold cash deposits from CPFIS funds, i.e. the custodian or
sub-custodian has placed the cash with other financial institutions, the other financial institutions must
fulfil the requirement in para 3.1 or para 3.1A.
4. Credit Rating for Debt Securities 2
4.1. FMCs may invest in debt securities rated at least Baa by Moody’s, BBB by Standard and Poor’s or BBB by
Fitch Inc (including sub-categories or gradations therein). If there is inconsistency in ratings assigned by
different rating agencies, the lowest rating will be used.
4.2. a) For government and other public debt securities that do not have the requisite ratings cited in Para 4.1
but the issuing entity or trust is, or the issue is guaranteed by, either a government, government agency
or supranational, that has a minimum long-term rating of BBB by Fitch, Baa by Moody’s or BBB by
Standard and Poor’s (including such sub-categories or gradations therein), qualify as permissible
investments under these guidelines.
b) Corporate debt securities that do not have the requisite ratings cited in Para 4.1 but satisfy the following
conditions qualify as permissible investments under these guidelines:
i) the issuer has a minimum long-term rating of BBB by Fitch, Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Standard
and Poor’s (including such sub-categories or gradations therein); or
ii)
the issuer’s parent company satisfies the rating in para 4.2b)(i) and has provided an explicit
guarantee for the issuer.
4.3. Paras 4.1 and 4.2 do not apply to unrated debt securities issued by Singapore-incorporated issuers 3 and
Singapore statutory boards. FMCs may invest in all such debt securities until such time as is stated otherwise.
Nevertheless, the single entity limit for these unrated corporate debt securities is lowered to 5% of the Fund’s
NAV as set out in section 2.8 in the appendix 1 of Code on CIS. For the avoidance of doubt, the investment
in such unrated debt securities do not fall under the deviation limit of 5% in para 9.3.
4.4. If the credit rating of a debt security in a Fund’s portfolio falls below the minimum rating, the debt security will
be classified as a prohibited investment and will fall under the deviation limit of 5% in para 9.3.
4.5. For the avoidance of doubt, an unlisted debt security eligible under para 4.1 to 4.3 does not fall under the
deviation limit of 5% in para 9.1 and 9.3.
1 For a Fund that is a money market fund and places deposits with financial institutions, para 3 of CPFIG applies.
2 CD is considered to be money market instrument as set out under para 3.1 of Appendix 2 of the Code on CIS. It needs to comply with both the requirements under the
Code on CIS and CPFIG (i.e. para 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 of CPFIG).
3 Debt securities issued by Singapore-incorporated special purpose entities that are not owned or established by Singapore-incorporated entities are not deemed to be debt
securities issued by Singapore-incorporated issuers and thus the credit rating requirement under para 4.1 or 4.2 will be applicable.
4.6. For the avoidance of doubt, “debt securities” in this paragraph include convertible bonds, perpetual bonds
and securitized debt.
5. Unlisted Shares
5.1. Investments in unlisted shares (excluding IPO shares which have been approved for listing) are allowed within
the 5% deviation limit in para 9.1.
6. Financial Derivatives
6.1. Financial derivatives are only allowed for hedging and efficient portfolio management 1. Otherwise, it will be
considered as prohibited investment and fall under the deviation limit of 5% in para 9.1.
6.2. Use of financial derivatives to replicate index performance (i.e. including but not limited to synthetic replication)
is not allowed.
7. Securities Lending
7.1. Securities lending could be carried out solely for the purpose of efficient portfolio management. Up to 50% of
the Fund’s NAV may be lent at any time if all the collateral, counterparty, settlement, reinvestment and liquidity
requirements set out in the MAS guidelines are adhered to.
8. Borrowings
8.1. The 10% borrowing limit set out in the MAS Guidelines must be adhered to without exception. For master-
feeder structures, the borrowing limit is to be applied to the feeder fund.
9. Deviation Limit
9.1. (i) Any prohibited investments (except debt securities without the requisite rating in para 4), and (ii)
investments exceeding the limits set out in the CPFIG, as the case may be, will fall under the deviation limit
of 5%.
9.2. An additional deviation limit of 5% over and above the deviation limit in para 9.1 is granted to Gold ETF listed
on SGX. Therefore, a Fund may invest up to 10% of its NAV in Gold ETF listed on SGX if it has not utilized
the deviation limit in para 9.1.
9.3. A sub-limit of 5% is granted to non-investment grade bonds. Thus, a Fund may still invest up to 5% of its NAV
in non-investment grade bonds even if it has fully utilized the deviation limit in para 9.1. Nevertheless, the
investment in non-investment grade bonds must be capped at 5% in aggregate.
Please see Appendix A of the CPFIG (as shown on
https://www.cpf.gov.sg/Assets/members/Documents/CPFInvestmentGuidelinespdf.pdf) for the diagram illustration
of the various deviation limits.
10. Deviations from the Guidelines
This paragraph sets out the circumstances when a FMC may invest up to 5% of the value of the Fund in investments
which fall outside the MAS Guidelines and/or the CPFIG. The FMC should ensure that the Fund continues to comply
with the above on a regular basis (e.g. when periodic reports of the CIS are available), no less than once every 6
months.
10.1. For a Fund that is an Authorised Scheme (regardless of whether the authorised scheme feeds into other
schemes)
10.2. The FMC of a Fund must ensure that the Fund is managed in full compliance with the MAS Guidelines and
at least 95% of the Fund’s NAV is invested in accordance with the CPFIG at all times. The 5% deviation may
only be in respect of CPFIG.
10.3. For a Fund that is a Recognised Scheme 2
The FMC must ensure that at least 95% of the Fund’s NAV is invested in accordance with the MAS Guidelines
and the CPFIG at all times.
Where a Fund invests partially in another scheme, the 5% deviation allowed applies as follows:
The total sum of the Fund’s pro-rated share of the deviating investments by the underlying CIS and the
deviating investments of the Fund, shall not exceed 5% of the NAV of the Fund.
"Pro-rated share" is defined as follows:-
Dollar value of investments of Fund in underlying CIS
X
(Dollar value of deviating investments of underlying CIS / Total dollar value of underlying CIS.)
10.4. For Underlying Scheme(s) (that a CPFIS-Included fund feeds into)
The FMC must ensure that the investments of the underlying scheme(s) should be done in a manner such that the
CPFIS-Included fund is in compliance with MAS Guidelines and CPFIG as per para 10.1 or 10.2.
Please see Appendix B of the CPFIG (as shown on
https://www.cpf.gov.sg/Assets/members/Documents/CPFInvestmentGuidelinespdf.pdf) for the diagram illustration
for the application of the deviation limit under various fund structure.
11. Breach of Deviation Limits
11.1. If the 5% limits on investments which deviate from the stated guidelines in paragraph 9 are exceeded as a
result of one or more of the following events:
a) the appreciation or depreciation of the Fund’s NAV; or
1For efficient portfolio management, FMCs must (i) demonstrate that they have adequate measures in place to monitor the risks of financial derivatives and (ii) obtain CPFB’s
prior approval.
2The recognised scheme must fully meet the requirements stated in Chapter 8 and 9 of the Code on CIS.
For as long as the relevant funds are approved for retail distribution and sale in Singapore, the investment guidelines
issued by The Monetary Authority of Singapore (“MAS”) under the relevant Appendix to the Code, as may be amended,
re-stated, supplemented or replaced from time to time, shall apply to the relevant funds, to the extent required by the
MAS.
1 Alternatively, the FMC may provide evidence of the trustee’s agreement to the extension within 7 calendar days.
2 All requests for exclusion of Sub-Funds under CPFIS must be submitted in writing. Sub-Funds delisted from CPFIS remain subject to MAS guidelines at all times.
(or such other percentage stipulated by the FSC from time to time), and the total value of each fund's non-offset
position in derivatives for hedging purposes shall not exceed the total market value of the relevant securities held
by the fund;
2. The fund may not invest in gold, spot commodities, or real estate;
3. The direct investments that a fund is permitted to make in Mainland China are restricted to the securities listed
or traded on Mainland China exchanges or Mainland China interbank bond market, and unless otherwise
specified by the FSC, the fund’s holdings may not, at any time, exceed 20% (or such other percentage stipulated
by the FSC from time to time) of the fund’s Net Asset Value;
4. The total investment in each fund by domestic investors in Taiwan shall not exceed a certain percentage
stipulated by the FSC from time to time; and
5. The securities market of Taiwan may not constitute the primary investment region in the portfolio of each fund.
The investment amount of each Fund in the securities market of Taiwan shall not exceed a certain percentage
stipulated by the FSC from time to time.
6. Any other investment restrictions announced by the FSC from time to time.

Investors buying Shares for the first time have to complete an application form. The instructions for subsequent purchases must
normally contain full details of registration, the name of the fund(s), class(es) of Shares, settlement currency(ies) and the value of
Shares to be bought. Purchase instructions will normally only be fulfilled on banker’s notification of receipt of cleared monies.
Completed applications with cleared monies received by a Distributor on a day that the Distributor and the Management Company
are open for business before the appropriate dealing cut-off times on a Valuation Date will normally be fulfilled that day at the next
calculated Net Asset Value of the relevant share plus any applicable initial charge.
Settlement should be made by electronic bank transfer net of bank charges. Payment should be made to the bank account
published by the Distributor as appropriate to the currency of settlement.
Other methods of payment require the prior approval of the Distributor. Processing of the application will usually be deferred until
cleared monies are received. Cleared monies will be invested net of bank collection charges.
Shareholders should normally allow at least three Business Days before further switching, selling or redeeming their Shares after
purchase or subscription.
The purchase price comprises the Net Asset Value of Shares of the relevant class calculated on a Valuation Date plus the
applicable initial charge. The initial charge for class A Shares is described in 2.1. “Classes of Shares” in Part II of the Prospectus
and for class P Shares is up to 1.00% of the Net Asset Value of the Shares.
Investors may place orders for Shares with Distributors in any of the major freely convertible currencies in addition to the Principal
Dealing Currency of the individual funds and/or classes of Shares. Investors may contact the Distributors for information about
such currencies. The Distributors may publish details of other currencies which will be accepted.
The Depositary
The Fund has appointed Brown Brothers Harriman (Luxembourg) S.C.A. to act as depositary of the Fund and to hold all cash,
securities and other property of the Fund on behalf of the Fund. The Depositary may, with the approval of the Fund, appoint other
banks and financial institutions to hold the Fund’s assets. The Depositary is required to perform all the duties of a depositary
prescribed by Article 33 of the Law of 2010.
Payments to Shareholders
Dividends
No dividends will be paid for accumulating Shares. All interest and other income earned on the investment will be accumulated.
For distributing Shares the Directors expect to recommend distribution of substantially the whole of each class’ respective net
investment income for the year. Dividends are declared on all Distributing Shares on the first Business Day of August. Dividends
are also declared on certain Bond, Multi Asset and Equity funds on other dates.
Dividends for distributing Shares are reinvested in additional Shares in the same distributing class of Shares unless Shareholders
specify otherwise in writing.
Dividends to be reinvested are credited to the Management Company who acts on behalf of the Shareholders and invests the
amount of the dividends in additional Shares of the same distributing class of Shares. Shares are issued at the Net Asset Value
determined on the dividend declaration date if it is a Valuation Date, or the subsequent Valuation Date. No initial charge is payable
on these Shares. Shares issued through this dividend facility are held in a registered account for the investor. Shares are
calculated to two decimal places and the resulting cash fraction remainder (whose value is less than 0.01 of a Share) is retained
in the Fund for inclusion in subsequent calculations.
Holders of registered distributing Shares may elect to receive a dividend payment which will normally be made within ten Business
Days, and as from April 2015 normally within five Business Days, or as soon as practicable thereafter by electronic bank transfer,
net of bank charges. In this case, unless specified otherwise, payment is normally made in the Principal Dealing Currency of the
distributing class of Shares of the fund. If requested, payment may be made in any other major freely convertible currency at the
prevailing rate of exchange. If any dividend payment is lower than USD 50 (or its equivalent in another currency) the dividend will
be automatically reinvested in further Shares of the same distributing class of Shares and not paid directly to holders of registered
Shares.
Dividends are normally paid within ten Business Days, and as from April 2015 normally within five Business Days, or as soon as
practicable thereafter.
Redemption of Shares
Instructions to sell registered Shares should be addressed to a Distributor and must be received by a Distributor or the Management
Company before the relevant cut-off times. The instructions must contain full details of registration, the name of the fund(s), class(es)
of Shares, settlement currency(ies), the number or value of Shares to be sold and bank details. Instructions received on a day that
the Distributor or the Management Company is open for business, before the appropriate dealing cut-off times on a Valuation Date,
are normally dealt with that day at the next calculated Net Asset Value of the relevant class.
A sales exit fee or a redemption fee of up to 1.00% of the Net Asset Value inclusive of expenses can be levied on P Shares, either
of which fee will revert to the General Distributor.
Settlement will normally be made by electronic bank transfer. The Management Company will aim to make settlement payments
within three Business Days (without however exceeding 5 Business Days) after receipt of written instructions. Exceptions currently
apply in relation to the funds listed below. If in exceptional circumstances it is not possible to make the payment within the relevant
period, then such payment shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter but without interest. In addition, different
settlement periods may apply if settlement is made via local correspondent banks, paying agents or other agents. Settlement
amounts may be subject to bank charges levied by the Shareholder’s own (or a correspondent) bank. Payment will be made in one
of the Principal Dealing Currencies of the relevant class of Share or may also be made in one of the major freely convertible
currencies if requested by the Shareholder(s) at the time of instruction.
Payment may also be made in one of the major freely convertible currencies if requested by the Shareholder(s) at the time
of instruction. Foreign exchange transactions required to handle client purchases/redemptions may be aggregated and will be
carried out by FIL Group’s central treasury department on an arm’s length basis through certain FIL Group companies from which
a benefit may be derived by such companies.
Publication of prices
Prices for Shares of the Fund may be obtained from any Distributor or from the Finnish Sales Representatives. Shares are listed
on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Price information may be published in certain media as decided from time to time.
Documents Available for Inspection

and accounts can be obtained, free of charge, upon request at the offices of the Finnish Sales Representatives, at the registered
office of the Fund and the offices of the Distributors and of the Management Company.
Taxation
The Directors of the Fund are informed of the following taxation consequences for individuals resident in Finland (‘Individuals’)
and companies carrying on a trade in Finland (“Companies”):
a) In a precedent issued by the Finnish Supreme Administrative Court, distributions from a Luxembourg SICAV were treated
as dividend for Finnish tax purposes. In this light, it seems that dividends declared in respect of Shares should be regarded
– for Finnish tax purposes – as dividend income.
Should such dividends be regarded as dividend income for Finnish tax purposes, then
i. for Individuals, 100% of such dividends should be taxable as earned income and
ii. for Companies, 100% of such dividends should be taxable income.
Nonetheless, in case the dividends declared in respect of Shares would not be regarded as dividend for Finnish tax purposes,
but rather as profit distribution from an investment fund, such income would, for Individuals, be treated as taxable capital
income and, for Companies, as fully taxable income.
b) Capital gains realised upon the disposal or redemption of Shares should be fully taxable income for Individuals. For the
purposes of determining the taxable capital gain received by an Individual, the greater of the actual acquisition cost or the
presumed acquisition cost shall be deducted from the assignment price. The presumed acquisition cost is 40% of the
assignment price if the period of ownership of the assigned property is at least 10 years and 20% in other cases. A capital
gain shall not be subject to taxation for Individuals in case the aggregate amount of assignment prices in that tax year does
not exceed 1,000 Euro (excluding tax exempt assignments).
c) As regards Companies, capital gains are subject to Finnish corporate income tax.
d) The capital income of Individuals up to 30,000 Euro is currently taxable at 30% and capital income exceeding 30,000 Euro
is currently taxable at 34%. Earned income is taxed at separate progressive rates. The corporate income tax rate for
Companies is currently 20%.
e) Individuals suffering a net loss from capital, e.g. as a result of a capital loss upon the disposal, conversion or redemption of
Shares may deduct the loss from their capital gains generally in the same tax year and in the five following years. If Individuals
do not have sufficient capital gains to deduct the entire capital loss, the remaining capital loss is deducted from capital
income in the same tax year and in the five following years as the income is borne. A capital loss is, however, not deductible
for Individuals in case the acquisition costs of the assigned assets in that tax year do not exceed 1,000 Euro (excluding tax
exempt assignments). Capital losses are hence treated differently from ordinary capital expenditures. If the capital
expenditures of an Individual in a tax year exceed the capital income, the Individual may claim a deduction in the tax levied
on earned income for the same tax year (‘tax credit for the deficit in capital income’). The deficit in capital income that may
be claimed is equal to 30% of such excess expenditures and its maximum amount is 1,400 Euro. The maximum amount will
be increased by 400 Euro if the Individual alone or together with their spouse has maintained one child during the year. The
increase is 800 Euro in the same situation if there has been more than one child.
f) For Companies, capital losses upon the disposal or redemption of Shares should be fully deductible for Companies if the
Shares are not considered “other assets”. Losses may be set off in the same tax year and in the following ten years. If the
Shares are considered “other assets”, capital losses arising from such may only be set off against capital gains, arising from
disposal or redemption of “other assets”, in the same tax year and five following years. It should be noted that the above
does not apply to all Finnish Companies. The rules and tax treatment applicable to capital gains and losses arising from the
disposals of Shares should therefore be confirmed on a case-by-case basis.
g) In the light of current legal practice it seems that a switch of Shares from one sub-fund to another is generally treated as a
taxable event, irrespective of the fact that the switch is made within the Fund. For the sake of completeness, a switch of
Share class within a single sub-fund should not in the light of current tax practice be treated as taxable event. The above-
mentioned cannot however be stated with certainty.
The tax treatment of an investment in the Fund may vary depending on the situation of each Investor and should be checked
separately in each case.
h) It should be noted that the above mentioned analysis of tax consequences is based on current tax legislation and practices.
The tax law and practices, and the levels of taxation, may be subject to change in the future. It should be noted especially,
that the Supreme Administrative Court of Finland has, with a decision dated 19 June 2019, referred a case to the Court of
Justice of the European Union. The case in question concerns how the income received by a Finnish individual from a
Luxembourg SICAV is to be taxed for Finnish tax purposes. Depending on the outcome of this case, the tax treatment of
investors might be subject to change.
i) Investors should seek their own professional advice as to the tax consequences before investing in Shares in the Fund.
GREECE
Effective 1 May 2003 the agreement covering distribution of Fidelity Funds in Greece between Laiki Bank (Hellas) S.A.
and FIL Investments International was terminated. Fidelity Funds is no longer publicly offered in Greece.
Taxation
The Directors of the Fund are informed of the following taxation consequences for investors resident in Greece:
A new Income Tax Code (ITC- L. 4172/2013) has entered into force as of 1 January 2014.
The new ITC (L. 4172/2013), as amended by L. 4254/2014, provides for a general exemption from corporate income taxation for
UCITs established either in Greece or in an EU/EEA country. However, the law itself does not provide any explicit provisions of
the tax treatment of proceeds received from mutual funds and UCITS.
Nevertheless, according to the Ministerial Circular 1042/2015, issued in January 2015, it was clarified that any proceeds that are
distributed by UCITS established in Greece or within an EU/EEA/EFTA country or mutual funds that are established in third party
countries fall within the concept of dividends for income tax purposes.
The above mentioned Ministerial Circular also indicated that the proceeds received by the unitholders in the form of dividends or,
in general, any other form of benefits received by the shareholders/unitholders of domestic or EU/EEA/EFTA UCITS shall not be
subject to any income tax in Greece, by application of the special provisions of art. 103 par. 5 of L. 4099/2012, which are still in
force.
With respect to the capital gains realized by the disposal of shares/units in UCITs, the Ministerial Circular 1032/2015, issued in
January 2015, stipulates that, in case said UCITS are established in Greece, no capital gains tax shall be due, by application of
art. 103 par. 5 of L. 4099/2012. The Ministerial Circular also provides that for UCITS established in an EU/EEA country, the same
tax treatment should be applicable, in accordance with the ECJ jurisprudence (case C-370/2011, Commision vs Belgium).
To be noted that special solidarity charge, incorporated in the ITC, will apply on the above mentioned income. Such charge is
based on a tax scale starting from income in excess of 12,000 Euros, and rates range from 2.20% to 10% for income exceeding
220,000 Euros.
In the case of legal entities, the tax treatment outlined above shall be equally applicable on any dividends and capital gains
received by the latter (except for the special solidarity charge).
Investors should also read the taxation section in Part III of the Prospectus which describes additional tax consequences for
investors. Investors should also seek their own professional advice as to the tax consequences before investing in Shares in
the Fund. Taxation law and practice and the levels of taxation are subject to future amendments.
GUERNSEY
The circulation of the Prospectus and the offering of Shares has been authorised by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission

Publication of Prices
Details of the most recent dealing prices of Shares in the Fund may be obtained from any Distributor or the Facilities Agent.
The Net Asset Values of the appropriate funds are published in such manner as decided from time to time by the Directors.
Taxation
A company which has its central management and control in Ireland may be considered resident in Ireland for taxation purposes.
The Directors intend to conduct the affairs of the Fund so that it does not become resident in Ireland for taxation purposes.
Accordingly, provided the Fund does not exercise a trade within Ireland or carry on a trade in Ireland through a branch or agency,
the Fund will not be subject to Irish tax on its income and gains other than on certain Irish source income and gains.
Irish pension funds within the meaning of Section 774, 784 and 785 of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997, (as
amended).
On the basis that the pension funds are wholly approved under the aforementioned sections, they are exempt from Irish income
tax in respect of income derived from their investments or deposits. Similarly, all gains accruing to a person on the disposal of
investments in approved Irish pension funds are exempt from capital gains tax in Ireland under Section 608(2) of the Taxes
Consolidation Act, 1997 (as amended).
Other Irish Shareholders
Subject to their personal circumstances, Shareholders resident or ordinarily resident in Ireland for taxation purposes will be liable
to Irish income tax or corporation tax in respect of any income distributions made by the Fund (whether distributed or reinvested
in new Shares).
The attention of individuals resident or ordinarily resident in Ireland for tax purposes is drawn to Chapter 1 of Part 33 of the Taxes
Consolidation Act 1997 (as amended), which may render them liable to income tax in respect of undistributed income or profits of
the Fund. These provisions are aimed at preventing the avoidance of income tax by individuals through a transaction resulting in
the transfer of assets or income to persons (including companies) resident or domiciled abroad and may render them liable to
Irish income or corporation tax in respect of undistributed income or profits of the Fund on an annual basis.
The attention of persons resident or ordinarily resident in Ireland (and who, if they are individuals, are domiciled in Ireland) is drawn to the
fact that the provisions of Chapter 4 (Section 590) of Part 19 of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997 (as amended) could be material to any
person who holds 5% or more of the Shares in the Fund if, at the same time, the Fund is controlled in such a manner as to render it a
company that would, were it to have been resident in Ireland, be a ‘close’ company for Irish taxation purposes. These provisions could, if
applied, result in a person being treated, for the purposes of the Irish taxation of chargeable gains, as if part of any gain accruing to the
Fund (such as on a disposal of its investments that constitute a chargeable gain for those purposes) had accrued to that person directly;
that part being equal to the proportion of the assets of the Fund to which that person would be entitled to on the winding up of the Fund
at the time when the chargeable gain accrued to the Fund.
The Shares in the Fund will constitute a ‘material interest’ in an offshore fund located in a qualifying jurisdiction for the purposes
of Chapter 4 (Sections 747B to 747E) of Part 27 of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997 (as amended). This Chapter provides that
if an investor resident or ordinarily resident in Ireland for taxation purposes holds a ‘material interest’ in an offshore fund and that
fund is located in a ‘qualifying jurisdiction’ (including a Member State of the EU, a Member State of the European Economic Area
or a member of the OECD with which Ireland has a double taxation treaty) then, dividends or other distributions or any gain
(calculated without the benefit of indexation relief) accruing to the investor upon the sale or on the disposal of the interest will be
charged to tax at the rate of 41%.
Shareholders who are tax resident in Ireland will be obliged to deliver a tax return to the Irish Revenue Commissioners on the
acquisition of Shares which must include the name and address of the Fund, a description of the Shares acquired (including the
cost to the Shareholder), and the name and address of the person through whom the Shares were acquired.
Dividends or other distributions made by the Fund to an investor that is a company that is resident in Ireland or any gain (calculated
without the benefit of indexation relief) accruing to such investor upon disposal of their interest in the Fund will be subject to
corporation tax at the rate of 25% where the payments are not taken into account in computing the profits or gains of a trade
carried on by the Fund. Where any computation would produce a loss the gain shall be treated as nil and no loss shall be treated
as occurring on such disposal. An Irish resident corporate investor whose Shares are held in connection with a trade will be taxable
at a rate of 12.5% on any income or gains as part of that trade.
The holding of Shares at the end of a period of 8 years from acquisition (and thereafter on each subsequent 8 year anniversary)
will constitute a deemed disposal and reacquisition at market value by the Shareholder of the relevant Shares. This shall apply to
Shares acquired on or after 1 January 2001. The tax payable on the deemed disposal will be equivalent to that of a disposal of a
‘material interest’ in an offshore fund (i.e. the appropriate gain is subject to tax currently at the rate of 41% or 25% in the case of
an investor that is a company and the payments are not taken into account in respect of the trade carried on by the company). To
the extent that any tax arises on such a deemed disposal, such tax will be taken into account to ensure that any tax payable on
the subsequent encashment, redemption, cancellation or transfer of the relevant Shares does not exceed the tax that would have
been paid had the deemed disposal not taken place.
An offshore fund will be considered a Personal Portfolio Investment Undertaking (“PPIU”) in relation to a specific investor where
that investor has influence over the selection of some or all of the property held by the offshore fund, either directly or through
persons acting on behalf of or connected with the investor. Depending on individual investors’ circumstances, an investment
undertaking may be considered a PPIU in relation to some, none or all individual investors (i.e. it will only be a PPIU in respect of
those individuals who can “influence’ selection). Any gain arising on a chargeable event in relation to an offshore fund which is a
PPIU in respect of an individual, will be taxed at a rate of 60%. A higher tax rate of 80% may apply where details of the
payment/disposal are not correctly disclosed in the individual’s tax return and the individual fails to meet the necessary filing
requirements under Chapter 4 of Part 27 of The Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997 (as amended). Specific exemptions apply where
the property invested has been clearly identified in the offshore fund’s marketing and promotional literature and the investment is
widely marketed to the public. Further restrictions may be required in the case of investments in land or unquoted shares deriving
their value from land. An investment undertaking is not a PPIU if the property which may or has been selected was acquired on
arm’s length terms as part of a general offering to the public.
For the purposes of Irish taxation a conversion of Shares in the Fund from one class of Shares to another class of Shares will not
constitute a disposal. The replacement Shares shall be treated as if they had been acquired at the same time for the same amount
as the holding of Shares to which they relate. There are special rules relating to situations where additional consideration is paid
in respect of the conversion of Shares, or if a Shareholder receives consideration other than the replacement Shares in a fund.
Special rules may also apply when a fund operates equalisation arrangements.
Attention is drawn to the fact that the above rules may not be relevant to particular types of Shareholders (such as financial institutions),
which may be subject to special rules. Investors should seek their own professional advice as to the tax consequences before investing
in Shares in the Fund. Taxation law and practice, and the levels of taxation may change from time to time.

Taxation
The Directors are informed of the following general Maltese income tax implications for investors (excluding investors dealing in
securities in the course of their normal trading activity), which implications are based on tax law and practice applicable at the
date of the Scheme Particulars. This information does not constitute legal or tax advice and investors and prospective investors
are urged to seek professional advice as regards tax legislation applicable to the acquisition, holding and disposal of Shares in
the Fund (hereinafter ‘Shares’) as well as that applicable to distributions made by the Fund. General:
Maltese income tax is charged on a worldwide basis on income (including specified capital gains) of persons having both Maltese
domicile and ordinary residence. Persons lacking any of these attributes are taxable on income (including capital gains) arising in
Malta and on foreign source income received in Malta.
In general, the income tax rate for income (including dividends) and capital gains currently stands at 35% for companies
(as defined in the Income Tax Act) and varies between 0% and 35% for other persons.
The tax regime for collective investment schemes is based on the classification of funds into prescribed or non-prescribed funds
in terms of the conditions set out in the Collective Investment Schemes (Investment Income) Regulations, 2001 (as amended). In
general a prescribed fund is defined as a Maltese-resident fund which has declared that the value of its assets situated in Malta
amount to at least 85% of the value of the total assets of the fund. A non-prescribed fund is a fund which does not qualify as a
prescribed fund.
On the assumption that none of the Fund’s funds would fall within the definition of a prescribed fund, all the assets of the funds
would constitute in their entirety non-Maltese assets and none of the Fund’s funds derive any income from immovable property
situated in Malta, then the Fund should in general not be taxable in Malta on its income/ gains arising from such non-Maltese
assets.
Shareholders:
Shareholders (both individual and corporate) who are both domiciled and ordinarily resident in Malta for tax purposes and who
are in receipt of dividends from the Fund (whether these are reinvested or otherwise) should declare such income, which is
chargeable to tax under Maltese law. Unless otherwise exempt, the same applies for persons having any one of these attributes
missing, to the extent that dividends from the Fund are received by them in Malta. However the regulations specify that dividends
distributed to Maltese resident Shareholders by a non-resident non-prescribed fund may qualify for a 15% withholding tax if the
recipient of the dividends utilises the services of an authorised financial intermediary licensed under Maltese law in connection
with the payment of the said dividends. Should all the relevant conditions be satisfied, the intermediary will have an obligation to
withhold the tax at source and pass on such tax to the Government of Malta. No further tax would be charged on the dividends in
such circumstances and a resident individual Shareholder would not even be obliged to declare the dividends in the income tax
return. Where no such authorised financial intermediary exists or where the resident Shareholder requests the intermediary not to
effect the deduction of the said 15% withholding tax, the investor would be required to declare the dividends in their income tax
return and will be subject to tax at the normal rates.
Gains (in this case including also trading gains) realised on transfers or redemptions by non-Maltese-residents (covered by the
relevant exemption) of Shares in the Fund are exempt from Maltese income tax. Capital gains realised by resident Shareholders on
the redemption, liquidation, or cancellation of Shares in non-prescribed funds may be subject to a 15% withholding tax where the
transferor utilises the services of an authorised financial intermediary licensed in Malta in connection with the disposal of the said fund
Shares. In that case and should all the relevant conditions be satisfied, the obligation to deduct such tax at source lies on the licensed
authorised financial intermediary of the Fund. Where no such authorised financial intermediary exists or where the resident
Shareholder requests the intermediary not to effect the deduction of the said 15% withholding tax, the Maltese-resident investor would
be required to declare the capital gains in their income tax return and will be subject to tax at the normal rates. Switching of units from
a non-prescribed fund to another fund of the Fund (or, subject to certain conditions, to a sub-fund of another collective investment
scheme) constitutes a transfer for income tax purposes. However, the switching of units within the non prescribed funds of the Fund
will not trigger any tax at that point but the tax on any gains, if any, will continue to be calculated (and paid) at the final transfer of the
units by reference to the cost of acquisition of the original units. Maltese-resident investors realising a capital gain on direct transfers
to third parties of securities in non-prescribed funds must be declared by the transferor in their tax return and tax is charged thereon
at normal rates, so however that on an eventual redemption, the gain on redemption is calculated without reference to the direct
intermediate transfer.
THE NETHERLANDS
Registration and Supervision
The information below describes the facilities available to investors who are resident in The Netherlands, and the procedures
which apply to dealing in Shares. This information must be read in conjunction with the current Prospectus and latest KIIDs of the
Fund, the most recent annual report and accounts, and, if published thereafter, the most recent semi-annual report and accounts.
Terms defined in the Prospectus have the same meaning in the following information.
Dealing Procedures
Dutch investors may place dealing instructions (either directly, or through their bank or intermediary) with FIL (Luxembourg) S.A.
at the following address or, alternatively, with the Management Company at its registered address.
FIL (Luxembourg) S.A. is the Distributor for The Netherlands and acts as agent for the General Distributor, FIL Distributors.
All instructions can be addressed to the Distributor:
FIL (Luxembourg) S.A.
2a, Rue Albert Borschette
BP 2174
L-1246 Luxembourg
Telephone: (352) 250 404 1
Fax: (352) 26 38 39 38
Investors should note that applications for the purchase of and subscription for Shares or dealing instructions are provided to the
Distributor in writing, in the form prescribed by the Distributor. Application forms are available from the Distributor on request.
Investors may purchase Shares in any major freely convertible currency as set out in the Prospectus. Where the investor
purchases Shares in a currency which differs from the Principal Dealing Currency of the relevant class, the investment amount
will be converted into the Principal Dealing Currency prior to investment. Similarly, sales proceeds may be received by the investor
in any major freely convertible currency.
Taxation
The Directors of the Fund are informed of the following tax consequences for investors tax resident in The Netherlands.
a) Corporate shareholders tax resident in The Netherlands subject to Dutch corporate income tax, will in principle be liable to
Dutch corporate income tax in respect of income derived from the Shares at a rate of 25%, with a step up rate of 15% on the
first Euro 245,000 of taxable income (rates 2021). This income includes, amongst others, dividends and other profit
distributions received from the Fund, and capital gains realised on the disposal or redemption of the Shares. Based on current
legislation the step up rate of 15% will be applicable to taxable profits up to EUR 395,000 in 2022.
b) Certain institutional investors tax resident in The Netherlands (such as qualifying pension funds, charities, family foundations
and tax exempt investment institutions (“VBI”)) are, in principle, fully exempt from Dutch corporate income tax in respect of
dividends and other profit distributions received from the Shares and capital gains realised on the disposal or redemption of
Shares.
c) Dutch investment institutions (‘FBI’) are subject to 0% Dutch corporate income tax.
d) Unless the situations mentioned under e) and f) apply, the Shares held by individual Shareholders tax resident in The
Netherlands will be deemed to generate an income of a progressive rate of the fair market value of the Shares at the beginning
of the calendar year. The applicable deemed return depends on the amount of the taxable holder’s yield basis (in Dutch
“rendementsgrondslag”) and consequently ranges between 1.90% and 5.69% (rates 2021). The deemed income will be taxed
at a rate of 31% (rate 2021). Actual income from the Shares, such as dividends and capital gains, will as such not be subject
to Dutch personal income tax.
e) As an exception to the tax treatment described under d) above, individual Shareholders who own or own the right to acquire
(either alone or together with their partner or certain other relatives as defined in the Dutch Personal Income Tax Act 2001)
Shares in the Company which represent 5% or more of the issued and outstanding capital of (i) the Fund, (ii) a fund, or (iii) a
separate class of Shares of a fund (a so called ‘substantial interest’) will be liable to tax at a rate of 26.9% (rate 2021) in respect
of dividends and other profit distributions received from the Fund and capital gains realised on the disposal or redemption of
the Shares. In addition, owners of a substantial interest in the Fund need to report a deemed income of 5.69% of the fair
market value of the Shares (at the beginning of the calendar year) less actual income of the Shares (but not lower than nil)
which will be taxed at the rate of 26.9% (rates 2021). Capital gains realised on the disposal or redemption of the Shares will
be reduced with any deemed income that was taxed previously. Investors owning a ‘substantial interest’ are advised to seek
professional advice as to the tax consequences related to their shareholding in the Fund.
f) As an exception to the tax treatment described under d) and e) above, individual Shareholders resident in The Netherlands
who carry on an enterprise or an independent activity to which the Shares are attributable, will in principle be liable to Dutch
personal income tax at progressive rates of up to 49.5% (rate 2021). This includes among others dividends and other profit
distributions made by the Fund, and capital gains realised upon disposal or redemption of the Shares.
g) Investors should also read the taxation section of the Prospectus that describes additional tax consequences for investors.
Investors should seek their own professional advice as to the tax consequences before investing in the Shares.
It should be noted that this information does not constitute legal or tax advice and investors and prospective investors are urged
to seek professional advice as regards tax legislation applicable to the acquisition, holding and disposal of Shares as well as that
applicable to distributions made by the Fund. The tax treatment as described in this section refers to the current law and practice
as valid at the date of the Prospectus. Both, taxation law and practice, and the levels of taxation, are subject to future alteration,
with or without retro-active effect.

Taxation
The information given below does not constitute legal or tax advice and is not exhaustive. Existing or prospective investors should
consult their own professional advisers as to the implications of their subscribing for acquisition, on holding, switching, redemption
or disposal of shares under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they may be subject to tax. Furthermore, taxation laws and practices
as well as the level of taxation are subject to future alteration.
The Directors of the Fund are informed of the following taxation consequences for individuals (‘individuals’) and companies
(‘companies’) resident in Norway.
On condition that the Fund is regarded as tax resident and has sufficient substance in Luxembourg, investments in the Fund
should be comprised by the Norwegian tax exemption rules to the extent the investment is classified as share investment as
defined below and the investor is a corporate shareholder. Each Norwegian investor should however seek to find out whether or
not the investment will be subject to Norwegian tax.
a) The taxation of investments classified as securities funds for Norwegian tax purposes, held by Norwegian resident
shareholders will depend on the classification of the fund’s investments. Distributions from collective investment funds where
more than 80% of the underlying investments are shares, are taxed as dividends. Distributions from collective investment
funds where less than 20% of the underlying investments are shares, are taxed as interest income. Distributions from
collective investment funds where the share portion of the underlying investment is between 20% and 80% will be split in
one part which will be taxed as dividend and one part which will be taxed as interest income, calculated on a pro rata basis
as defined in b).
b) The share portion mentioned under (a) above of the underlying investment in the fund is calculated based on the ratio
between the value of shares and other securities (e.g. bonds, derivatives, including derivatives with shares as underlying
objects, and other debt instruments) at the beginning of the income year. Cash is not taken into account when calculating
the ratio between shares and other securities. For funds that have been established during the income year, the share
portion is calculated based on the ratio at the end of the income year. Shares in underlying funds are included in the
calculation with their respective proportionate part. If the underlying fund does not report its investments to the Norwegian
tax authorities, the unitholder is required to document the share portion and report this to the Norwegian tax authorities.
Further, if the share ratio is reported by the unitholder, calculation of the share ratio is subject to the following limitations:
1. Shares held in underlying funds shall only be included in the calculation of the share ratio if the fund’s investment in
the underlying fund amount to more than 25% of the total value of the fund in question at the beginning of the income
year.
2. Only shares that are owned directly by the underlying fund are included with a corresponding proportionate part.
Investments that are owned by underlying funds further down than one level in the ownership chain are not taken into
account in the share ration calculation.
If the share ratio in a securities fund, or underlying fund of a securities fund, is not sufficiently documented, that part of the
investment will be regarded as other securities than shares. Penalty tax may be levied if the unitholder fails to provide
sufficient documentation to the Norwegian tax authorities.
c) Lawful dividends on shares received by Norwegian resident corporate shareholders (defined as limited liability companies,
savings banks and other self-owned finance enterprises, mutual insurance companies, co-operatives, equity funds,
associations, foundations, certain bankrupt estates and estates under administration, municipalities, county municipalities,
intermunicipal companies, companies 100% owned by the Government, SE-companies and SE-co-operatives) should be
comprised by the Norwegian tax exemption method. Shares etc. covered by the tax exemption method are shares in
Norwegian limited liability companies, savings banks, mutual insurance companies, co-operatives, securities funds and
intermunicipal companies as well as shares in similar foreign companies. Distributions from securities funds are covered by
the tax exemption rules to the extent the distribution is classified as dividends from shares cf. (a) and (b) above. Exemptions
from this basis are stated below.
d) Lawful dividends on shares (as defined under c) above) received by Norwegian resident corporate shareholders from
Norwegian resident entities (as referred to under c) above), are 97% tax exempt. All portfolio management expenses except
for acquisition/sales costs, etc. related to exempt income from shares are fully tax deductible. In order to limit the benefit of
these deductions, the tax exemption method is limited to 97% of the dividend income, with the remaining 3% taxable for
Norwegian corporate shareholders (0.75% effective tax rate for shareholders covered by the financial tax scheme and 0.66%
effective tax rate for other corporate shareholders). An exemption from the 3% rule applies for dividends distributed within a
tax group (i.e. where a parent company owns more than 90% of the shares and the voting rights, directly or indirectly, in the
company and is actually established in an EEA State and carries out genuine economic business activity). For investments
in EEA companies the 97% tax exemption for lawful dividends on shares will only apply if the foreign company invested into
is not resident in a low-tax country. However, if the company is resident in a low-tax country, the 97% tax exemption will still
apply if the Company is actually established in an EEA State and carries out genuine economic business activity there. It
must be documented that these requirements are met. If not covered by the tax exemption rules mentioned under (c),
dividends from a foreign company to Norwegian resident corporate shareholders would be taxable at a rate of 22% (25% for
entities covered by the financial tax scheme). Dividends on shares as mentioned under (i) below to Norwegian corporate
shareholders will consequently be taxable in Norway. Dividends received by Norwegian resident corporate shareholders on
shares in NOKUS companies are not subject to taxation as long as the dividends paid fall within the NOKUS income which
has already been subject to taxation, see under (g) below for further details.
e) For individuals resident in Norway, only dividends (as defined under (c) above) received in excess of a calculated shield
deduction (equal to the arithmetic average interest on Norwegian three months exchequer bills, after tax multiplied with the
cost price of the shares, previous years’ unused shield deduction included), will be taxable at a rate of 22%. For the purpose
of calculating the shield deduction, funds owning more than 80% shares are considered only to own shares and funds owning
less than 20% shares are considered only to own other securities than shares. This means that a shield deduction will be
granted on the whole cost price of the share when the share portion in the fund in the year of acquisition was more than
80%. For funds with a share portion between 20% and 80%, the shield deduction will be calculated on the basis of the cost
price corresponding to the share ratio. It is a condition for deduction of shield deduction that the dividends are paid out in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the applicable corporate and accounting laws/regulations. The shield deduction
is linked to the individual share. After the deduction of the shield deduction, the basis for taxation of the dividend is increased
with an adjustment factor of 1.44, leaving the (effective dividend tax rate for individuals at 31.68% (22% * 1.44)).
f) Distributions classified as interest income according to (a) above are not comprised by the Norwegian tax exemption method
and neither qualify for shield deductions. This means that distributions classified as interests received by Norwegian resident
corporate shareholders and individuals resident in Norway from a fund are taxable at a rate of 22% (25% for entities covered
by the financial tax scheme).
g) Capital gains made by Norwegian resident corporate shareholders on disposal, conversion or redemption of units in funds
where 100% of the underlying investments are other securities than shares, are as a starting point taxable at a rate of 22%
(25% for corporate shareholders covered by the financial tax scheme). Capital losses are in this situation deductible. The
capital gain or loss is calculated as the difference between the cost price of the shares (including costs related to the
acquisition of the shares), and the sales price.
h) Capital gains made by Norwegian resident corporate shareholders (as defined under (c) above) on disposal, conversion or
redemption of units in Norwegian securities funds where 100% of the underlying investments are shares (as defined under
(c) above) should be tax exempt under the Norwegian tax exemption method. Capital gains on shares in securities funds
resident in the EEA are comprised by the tax exemption if the company is not regarded as resident in a low-tax country. If
the securities fund is resident in a low-tax country, it would still qualify for the tax exemption method if the securities fund
invested into is actually established in an EEA State and carries out genuine economic business activity there. It must be
documented that these requirements are met.
i) Capital gains as mentioned under (h) above on shares in securities funds resident in low-tax countries outside the EEA, are,
however, not covered by the Norwegian tax exemption method and are therefore taxable (tax rate is 25% for corporate
shareholders covered by the financial tax scheme and 22% for other corporate shareholders). Consequently, any losses on
such investments will be deductible. The same applies for capital gains and losses on portfolio investments in securities
funds outside the EEA. For capital gains, a portfolio investment exists if the tax payer has not continuously in the last two
years owned 10% or more of the capital and 10% or more of the voting rights at the general meeting. For losses, a portfolio
investment exists if the taxpayer alone or together with any closely related persons has not owned 10% or more of the capital
or 10% or more of the voting rights at the general meeting consecutively for the last two years.
j) For Norwegian resident corporate shareholders in funds with both shares and other securities as underlying investments,
the applicability of the Norwegian tax exemption method on capital gains is limited on a pro rata basis to the calculated share
portion in the fund. The share portion is calculated based on the average between the share portion in the year of acquisition
and in the year of sale. The share ratio in the year of acquisition and the year of sale is calculated based on the principles
described under (b) above.
k) Corporate shareholders as defined under (c) will not be allowed a deduction for losses to the extent capital gains would have
been exempt.
l) Capital gains or losses for other corporate entities than defined under (c), if taxable, are calculated as the difference between
the cost price of the shares, (including costs related to the acquisition of the shares), and the sales price (tax rate is 25% for
corporate shareholders covered by the financial tax scheme and 22% for other corporate shareholders).
m) For individuals resident in Norway, only capital gains and losses on disposal, conversion or redemption of units in excess of
a calculated shield deduction (as defined under e above) will be taxable at a rate of 22%. The shield deduction is only earned
on investments in shares and on the share ratio in securities funds calculated in the year of the investment in the fund. The
shield deduction can be deducted in the total capital gain on investment in securities funds, not just the portion of the gain
that stems from shares. Unused shield deduction cannot exceed the capital gain and create or increase a tax deductible
loss. The taxable capital gain or loss will be the difference between the cost price of the shares (including costs related to
the acquisition of the shares) and the sales price. For the portion of the gain or loss that is related to the fund’s underlying
investments consisting of shares, the basis for taxation of the gain – after the deduction of the shield deduction - is increased
with an upwards adjustment factor of 1.44 and then taxed at a rate of 22 % (effective tax rate 31.68%).
n) Individuals, and entities not covered by the tax exemption rules mentioned under (c), suffering a net loss from capital, e.g. as
a result of a capital loss upon sale, switch, redemption etc. of shares, may claim a deduction in ordinary income (which is
taxed at a rate of 22% (25% for corporate shareholders covered by the financial tax scheme)), but not for gross tax purposes
(gross tax applies only to individuals on income classified as salary).
o) If a capital gain is taxable, the applicable tax rate is 25% for shareholders covered by the financial tax scheme and 22% for
all other taxable persons (i.e. other companies and individuals).
p) Most Norwegian institutional investors are taxed as corporate shareholders (see (c) above) with respect to dividends and
capital gains on the disposal of shares. Some institutional and governmental investors are tax-exempt. In addition to be
comprised by the Norwegian tax exemption method, Norwegian securities funds are also comprised by a special tax rule
whereby all capital gains on shares in non-EEA companies are tax exempt. Norwegian securities funds do not have the right
to deduct losses on disposal of shares in companies resident in countries outside the EEA. Norwegian pension funds and
insurance companies, holding a license in accordance with the Norwegian Financial Undertakings Act, may offset income
derived from investments held within the technical assets/collective portfolio against future payouts to the beneficiaries.
Hence, income derived from investments held as part of the technical assets are in effect tax exempt. Investments in shares,
etc. held within the company’s investment portfolio is however subject to the ordinary tax rules, hence investments in shares,
etc. may be eligible for the tax exemption method.
q) Each Norwegian investor should seek to find out whether the investment will be subject to Norwegian NOKUS taxation (CFC
taxation). Norwegian residents (individual or company) will be taxed directly for their part in the foreign Company’s/Fund’s
income if the company is located in a low-tax country, irrespective of whether any funds, etc. are distributed to the investor.
A low-tax country in this respect is a country where the assessed income tax on the company’s profits is less than two-thirds
of assessed taxes calculated according to Norwegian tax rules as if the company had been located (resident) in Norway. A
condition for such taxation is that 50% or more of the foreign company’s shares or capital are owned or controlled, directly
or indirectly, by Norwegian taxpayers (alone or together), based on ownership status at the beginning and end of the income
year. Furthermore, if Norwegian taxpayers own or control more than 60% of the shares or capital at the end of the income
year, Norwegian control exists irrespective of the level of control at the beginning of the year. Norwegian control ceases to
exist if Norwegian taxpayers own or control less than 50% of the shares or capital at both the beginning and end of the
income year, or less than 40% of the shares or capital at the end of the income year. In relation to umbrella funds it should
be noted that the ownership requirement is normally calculated based on ownership at the level of the different sub-funds.
On condition that Norway has signed a Tax Treaty with the country involved and the entity in question is covered by that Tax
Treaty, the NOKUS rules will only be applicable if the income of the company in question is mainly of a passive nature.
Furthermore, NOKUS taxation is prohibited if the company in question is actually established and carries out genuine
business activity in an EEA State. The Norwegian rules in this respect are more or less in accordance with the “wholly
artificial arrangement” statement of the ECJ’s judgment in the Cadbury Schweppes case.
r) Individuals (and estates of deceased persons) will have to pay net wealth tax based on their ownership in the Fund. The
maximum tax rate is 0.85% (i.e. 0.15% state tax and 0.7% municipal tax). There is no net wealth tax for limited liability
companies, securities funds, state-owned enterprises according to the State-owned Enterprise Act, intermunicipal
companies and companies which somebody owns a part in or receives income from, when the responsibility for the
companies’ liabilities are limited to the companies’ capital. Some institutional investors such as mutual insurance companies,
savings banks, cooperatives, taxable pension funds, self-owned finance institutions and mortgage credit associations pay
0.15% net wealth tax. Otherwise, the maximum net wealth tax rate for a corporate body is 0.85%. Shares in limited liability
companies and the share portion in securities funds as defined in a and b above, are valued at 65% (55% applies to the
income year of 2021) of the quoted value for net wealth tax purposes as of 1 January of the year after the relevant income
year. Other assets held by securities funds are valued at 100% of the value for net wealth tax purposes as of 1 January of
the year after the relevant income year. If quoted both on Norwegian and foreign stock exchanges, the Norwegian quoted
value will be applicable. If not quoted, the basis for taxation is the company’s net assets for wealth tax purposes as per 1
January of the income year in question. The basis for taxation of not quoted shares in foreign companies is as a starting
point the shares assumed market value as per 1 January of the assessment year.
s) Investors should also read the taxation section in Part III of this Prospectus, which describes additional tax consequences
for the Fund and its investors.

SOUTH AFRICA
Registration and Supervision
The Financial Sector Conduct Authority in South Africa (‘the FSCA’) has duly approved the marketing of the Fund in South Africa.
Prescient Management Company Ltd Prescient House, Westlake Business Park, Otto Close, Westlake, 7945, South Africa is the
representative of the Fund in South Africa.
The solicitation of investments in, and promotion of, any foreign collective investment scheme or fund in South Africa that has not
been approved by the FSCA is prohibited. Switching South African investors to another unapproved scheme or fund is also
prohibited by the FSCA.
The following funds are approved for distribution as at the time of this Prospectus: Fidelity Funds – America Fund, Fidelity Funds
– Asian Special Situations Fund, Fidelity Funds – China Focus Fund, Fidelity Funds – Emerging Markets Fund, Fidelity Funds –
European Growth Fund, Fidelity Funds – Global Health Care Fund, Fidelity Funds - Global Thematic Opportunities Fund, Fidelity
Funds – Latin America Fund, Fidelity Funds – Pacific Fund, Fidelity Funds – United Kingdom Fund, and Fidelity Funds – World
Fund.
General
In addition to what is stated in the Prospectus, the current policy of the Fund in respect of the funds approved for distribution is as
follows:
1. The funds may utilise derivative instruments, including but not restricted to option contracts, swaps and futures contracts,
only for the purposes of Efficient Portfolio Management. Derivatives utilised may be either exchange-traded or traded over-
the-counter. Derivative positions must be covered by assets within the portfolio of the funds.
2. The funds may not invest in a fund of funds or a feeder fund.
3. Scrip borrowing is allowed under the conditions provided in Part V, section 5.1. B.1. of the Prospectus.
Important differences between South African collective investment schemes and the Fund
Ring-fencing of funds
In terms of South African legislation, the sub-funds of a South African collective investment scheme are ring-fenced. If the
collective investment scheme is unable to meet liabilities attributable to any particular sub-fund out of the assets attributable to
that sub-fund, the excess liabilities may not be met out of the assets attributable to the other sub-funds.
Article 181(6) of the Luxembourg law of 17 December 2010 concerning undertakings on collective investment provides that each
compartment of an undertaking may be separately liquidated without such separate liquidation resulting in the liquidation of
another compartment. Only the liquidation of the last remaining compartment of the UCI will result in the liquidation of the UCI.
Repurchases of units/shares
In terms of South African legislation and deeds, a South African collective investment scheme is required to repurchase units from
the public at a price which has been calculated not more than 24 hours preceding the receipt of the application. Participatory
interests are priced daily. Unit certificates are issued to investors on request.
The Fund is required to buy back Shares on demand and may only suspend trading under limited conditions as laid down by the
constitutional document of the Fund. The Directors of the Fund may suspend the pricing, sale switch and repurchase of Shares
of any class for any period of time under extreme market conditions as disclosed in Part II, 2.6. “Temporary Suspension of
Determination of Net Asset Value and of the Issue, Switching and Redemption of Shares”) of the Prospectus.
Fund expenses
In terms of South African legislation, South African collective investment schemes are only allowed to deduct certain amounts
from a portfolio, namely charges payable on the buying and selling of assets for the portfolio (such as brokerage, marketable
securities tax, value-added tax or stamp duties), auditor’s fees, bank charges, trustee and depositary fees and other levies and
taxes, share creation fees payable to the Registrar of Companies, and the agreed and disclosed service charges of the manager.
The deed of a collective investment scheme must contain full disclosure of the charges (managers’ charges and service charges)
that may be levied by the manager and the method of calculation of such charges. The manager must give investors not less than
three months’ written notice of any change in the existing charges or the introduction of an additional charge that could result in
an increase of charges for investors.
It is a practice in foreign collective investment schemes that the scheme carries additional expenses. These are set out in detail
in Part IV, 4. “Administration Details, Charges and Expenses” of the Prospectus. This includes the amortisation or formation costs
of the Fund.
Liquidity requirement/borrowing powers
In terms of South African legislation, South African collective investment schemes may only borrow funds where insufficient
liquidity exists in a portfolio or where assets cannot be realised to repurchase or cancel participatory interests, in which event the
manager may borrow the necessary funds for such repurchase or cancellation, on security of the assets and for the account of
the portfolio in question, from a registered financial institution at the best commercial terms available and until assets can be
realised to repay such a loan, provided that the maximum amount so borrowed may not exceed 10% of the market value of such
portfolio at the time of borrowing.
The Fund is allowed at times to borrow up to 10% of the total value of the net assets of the Fund on a temporary basis to redeem
Shares or for settlement of investment acquisitions pending receipt of subscription monies. See Part V, 5.1. “Investment Powers
and Safeguards” of the Prospectus.
Capital adequacy requirement
In terms of the Collective Investment Scheme Control Act 45 of 2002 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, a manager
may not be registered or be allowed to continue as manager unless at the time of registration and at all times thereafter
(except where specifically exempted by the Registrar of Collective Investment Schemes) the manager has net assets in liquid
form which exceed the minimum capital requirement. FIL Fund Management Limited, as the Investment Manager of the Fund,
is not subject to any capital adequacy requirement.
Investment restrictions
The laws governing the investment guidelines of South African collective investment schemes are clearly set out in the Collective
Investment Schemes Control Act 45 of 2002 (the “CISC Act”), the various regulations promulgated thereunder and the relevant deeds.
In terms of the CISC Act, a maximum of 10% of a fund may be invested in securities listed on an exchange which is not a full
member of the World Federation of Exchanges or to which the due diligence guidelines prescribed by the Registrar have not been
applied. Unlisted securities must be listed within 12 months of the purchase date or be disposed of. The investment restriction on
an individual security in respect of equity funds is a maximum of 5% of fund if market capitalisation of company is less than R2
billion, otherwise it is 10%, or 120% of free float weighting in appropriate exchange index with an overall limit of 20% for general
funds and 35% for specialist funds. The investment in non-equity securities (other than government issued and listed securities)
is limited. Such non-equity securities must be included subject to the conditions prescribed in terms of the CISC Act (which includes
requirements as to the rating of the securities).
The general investment restrictions of the Fund are set out in full in Part V, 5.1. “Investment Powers and Safeguards” of the Prospectus,
and set out the maximum exposure limits allowed in the Fund as to securities, debt, warrants, unlisted Shares, bonds etc. Investors are
advised to refer to the investment objectives of the range of funds, as set out in Part I of the Prospectus, for full details of the applicable
investment restrictions. However, the Fund is required to meet all the requirements of the European Community Directive 2009/65. This
sets out in great detail the minimum requirements the Fund must comply with regarding investment restrictions. These are restrictive, are
comparable to South African legislation, and in some cases are more restrictive than South African legislation.
Reporting
In terms of South African legislation, South African collective investment schemes report to investors on an annual basis.
Distributions
In terms of South African legislation, the income of South African collective investment schemes is distributed regularly and may
be reinvested at the option of the investor by the issue of additional participatory interests.
Derivatives
For the purpose of Efficient Portfolio Management, the Fund may use various techniques, instruments and derivatives for the
purposes of hedging and Efficient Portfolio Management. The use of these instruments for these purposes in managing the funds
is regulated under Luxembourg and EU law.
The South African legislation in relation to such techniques and derivative investments is more stringent.
Securities lending
The Fund allows for security lending and borrowing, as set out in Part V, D. ”Securities Lending and Borrowing” of the Prospectus.
Scrip lending by South African collective investment schemes is permitted up to 50% with limits on single borrower and subject to
105% collateral. Scrip borrowing and the pledging of securities is prohibited.
Taxation
Investment in an offshore investment company
South African residents are taxed on their worldwide income at the earliest of receipt or accrual of the income. South African
residents include individuals that are ordinarily resident in South Africa or are physically present in South Africa for a minimum
aggregate period in six successive years, and any trust, company or any other entity that is incorporated, established or formed
in South Africa or that has its place of effective management in South Africa. A person exclusively resident in another jurisdiction
in terms of a valid double tax convention between that state and South Africa is not a resident.
Dividend and interest income
Distributions by foreign companies are recognised as foreign dividends where such amounts are treated as dividend or similar
payments in terms of the tax laws of the country in which the foreign company has its place of effective management. In the
absence of tax laws, the distribution is a foreign dividend if treated as such by the company law of the jurisdiction in which the
company is incorporated.
Foreign dividends (save for limited exemptions) are generally taxable in South Africa as part of a South African resident’s taxable
income. A foreign dividend will qualify for an exemption under the general participation exemption if the recipient of the dividend,
together with any company forming part of the same group of companies, holds at least 10% of the equity shares and voting rights in
the foreign company declaring the dividend (this exemption is denied unless the dividend is paid in respect of an equity share in the
foreign company). Foreign dividends received or accrued to any person in relation to any participatory interest in a “collective
investment scheme” carried on outside of South Africa are denied exemption under the general participation exemption available to
persons holding not less than 10% in a non-South African resident company. Foreign dividends not qualifying for the general
participation exemption should however qualify for the general dividend exemption that is available to individuals and companies,
whereby the effective tax rate on dividends is reduced to a maximum of 20%. Note: The effective tax rate on foreign dividends
increased to 20% with retrospective effect to years of assessment commencing 1 March 2017.
It is important to note that the above participation exemption and general dividend exemption will not apply to any foreign dividends
distributed to a person in respect of services rendered or to be rendered by that person by virtue of employment or the holding of any
office (other than a foreign dividend distributed in respect of a “restricted equity instrument” (as defined)).
Dividends from South African resident companies may be subject to a withholding tax of 20% if paid to a South African resident
shareholder, other than a company or certain specified exempt institutions. Note: The rate of withholding tax on domestic dividends
increased to 20% with retrospective effect to 1 March 2017. Dividends from a South African company, or foreign dividends declared
by a non-South African resident company out of profits that have been or will be subject to tax in South Africa, are exempt from normal
tax in the hands of South African recipients (i.e. are not included in taxable income).
Foreign dividends received or accrued from hybrid equity instruments (as defined) on or after 1 April 2012, or which became such an
instrument after such date, shall be deemed to be an amount of income (hence subject to tax without exemption) in the recipient’s
hands and therefore included in the recipient’s gross income.
Any interest received by or accrued to a South African resident or which is deemed to have accrued to a South African resident,
is likely to be taxable in South Africa.
Accumulation of income
Where the underlying income of the Fund is rolled up and not distributed, the South African resident investor will not be in receipt of
any foreign dividends. Accordingly, no South African income tax liability will arise in the hands of a South African resident until such
time as a distribution or deemed distribution takes place.
Sale of Shares to third parties
The ‘gross income’ definition contained in the South African Income Tax Act provides a starting point for the determination of any
person’s taxable income. The definition of ‘gross income’ for South African tax residents refers to the total amount, whether in cash
or otherwise, received by or accrued to or in favour of any resident, excluding such receipt or accruals of a capital nature. The definition
of ‘gross income’ for non-South African tax residents refers to the total amount, whether in cash or otherwise, received by or accrued
to or in favour of such person from a source or deemed source within South Africa, excluding such receipt or accruals of a capital
nature.
Accordingly, each individual investor would be required to determine whether the receipt or accrual, arising from a disposal or
redemption is of a capital nature or not. This cannot be determined without reference to the individual facts and circumstances of the
resident.
Any amount received or accrued to an investor as a result of the disposal by that investor of an “equity share” (as defined) will, subject
to certain exemptions, be deemed to be of a capital nature if it was held for a period of at least three years.
Capital gains on the disposal of shares in a “foreign company” to a non-South African tax resident by a person who holds (whether
alone or together with any other person forming part of the same group of companies as that person) at least 10% of the equity share
capital and voting rights, and has held such an interest for a period of not less than 18 months are exempt from capital gains tax (save
for limited exemptions), provided that the disposal is to a person who is not a resident (other than a company which is a controlled
foreign company (as defined), or any person that is a connected person in relation to the person disposing of that interest). This
exemption from capital gains tax shall not apply to inter alia the disposal of any interest in the equity share capital of a “collective
investment scheme” carried on outside of South Africa.
If the proceeds on disposal are of a revenue nature, the investor will be taxed on the total amount at the rate of taxation applicable to
that investor. If the receipt is of capital nature, individual investors will pay normal income tax on 40% of the net capital gain (being the
amount by which their aggregate capital gains exceed their aggregate capital losses), and corporate investors and trust investors will
pay normal income tax on 80% of the net capital gain on disposal (provided no exemptions apply) in respect of all disposals taking
place on or after 1 March 2016.
The capital gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is calculated by deducting the base cost of the asset from the proceeds
received or which accrued in respect of the disposal. Where an asset is disposed of and the consideration includes an amount that
cannot be quantified, then so much of the consideration that cannot be quantified will be treated as not having accrued to the investor
until such date that the amount is quantifiable.
Similarly, when determining the capital gains or losses (if any) in respect of assets disposed of, where all the proceeds do not
accrue to the seller in the same year of assessment, capital losses on such disposals will be deferred until the full proceeds accrue.
Capital losses may be deducted from subsequent capital gains on the disposal of assets when the proceeds in relation to that
asset accrue or when it can be shown that no further proceeds will accrue.
The investment does not qualify as an exchange item. As a result, any exchange gain will be taxable as part of the capital gain on
disposal.
Redemption of Shares and Share buy-backs
Any amount that is paid or payable by a foreign company in respect of any share, is recognized as a foreign return of capital where
such amount is treated as a distribution or similar payment other than a foreign dividend in terms of the tax laws of the country in
which the foreign company has its place of effective management, or where there are no tax laws, by the company law of the
country in which the company is incorporated. An amount cannot be regarded as a foreign return of capital if it is deductible by a
foreign company in terms of its foreign tax law.
Where a foreign return of capital takes place, the amount accruing to the shareholder must be applied to reduce the base cost of
the investment. In the event that the foreign return of capital exceeds the expenditure incurred in respect of the acquisition of the
shares to which the foreign return relates, the excess must be treated as a capital gain during the year of assessment in which
the foreign return of capital is received or accrued (whichever is earlier), subject to a participation exemption similar to a full
redemption mentioned below.
A foreign return of capital arising from a full redemption of an investor’s shares is likely to be regarded as a disposal event, and should
qualify for a participation exemption provided that the investor holds at least 10% of the equity share capital and voting rights of the
company. This exemption from capital gains tax shall not apply to inter alia the disposal of any interest in the equity share capital of a
“collective investment scheme” carried on outside of South Africa.
Receipts or accruals which do not constitute foreign returns of capital (as defined) or foreign dividends (as defined) are not
specifically dealt with in the South African Income Tax Act. The general rules pertaining to receipts and accruals will therefore
apply to such amounts.
Share buy backs should qualify for a participation exemption provided that the investor holds at least 10% of the equity share
capital and voting rights of the company, and has held such interest for a period of 18 months, provided that the share buy back
is from a person who is not a resident (other than a company which is a controlled foreign company (as defined), or any person
that is a connected person in relation to the person disposing of that interest). This exemption from capital gains tax shall not apply
to inter alia the disposal of any interest in the equity share capital of a “collective investment scheme” carried on outside of
South Africa.
To the extent that any South African investor (which is a company) receives an ‘extraordinary dividend’ as consequence of a share
buy-back, and such investor held a ‘qualifying interest’ in the shares disposed of, certain “dividend stripping” rules may find
application.
In this respect an ‘extraordinary dividend’ includes, inter alia, so much of any dividend received or accrued within a period of
18 months prior to the disposal of the shares, or by reason or in consequence of the disposal of the shares, of which exceeds
15% of the higher of the market value of the shares disposed of as at the beginning of the 18 month period or the date of disposal.
‘Qualifying interest’ means a direct or indirect interest (individually or with connected persons), of at least 50% of the equity shares
or voting right; 20% of the equity shares or voting rights if no other person holds majority equity shares or voting rights; or 10% of
the equity shares or voting rights if the company is a listed company.
Where applicable, the dividend stripping rules will have the effect that –
a) To the extent that the shares were held as trading stock, an investor will be required to re-characterise the extraordinary
dividends it receives as consequence of the share buy-back, as income for normal income tax purposes; or
b) To the extent that the shares were held on capital account, an investor will be required to re-characterise the extraordinary
dividend it receives as consequence of the share buy-back, as Proceeds for Capital Gains Tax purposes.
These principles came into effect on 19 July 2017, and are applicable in respect of any disposal on or after that date.
NOTE: This summary of the tax consequences for South African investors briefly sets out the tax position as at 14 January 2020
and is for information only. It should be noted that no proposed amendments to the South Africa Income Tax Act has been included
in the above description of the South African tax position. Investors should consult their own tax advisors in relation to an
investment in the Fund as the individual circumstances of each investor will determine the full tax consequences of any investment
in the Fund.
SWEDEN
Registration and Supervision
The Fund is an open-ended investment company incorporated in Luxembourg on 15 June 1990.
By virtue of rulings of the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (Finansinspektionen) dated 18 December 1995 and
27 October 2005, the Fund is authorised to sell its Shares to members of the public in Sweden.
The information below describes the facilities available to investors resident in Sweden and the procedures which apply to dealing
in Shares in the Fund. This information must be read in conjunction with the current Prospectus of the Fund, the most recent
annual report and accounts and, if published thereafter, the most recent semi-annual report and accounts. Amendments to the
Prospectus, the Fund’s regulations or to the Articles of Incorporation, or any other information will be held available at the offices
of the Representative. Material amendments to the Prospectus, the Fund’s regulations or to the Articles of Incorporation will be

as the Representative for the Fund in Sweden. The Paying Agency, the place of performance and court of law have been
substantiated at the Representative’s registered office as regards the Shares distributed in Sweden.
Dealing Procedures
Investors may give instructions (directly, or through their bank or other financial representative) to the Representative or any of
the Distributors listed in the Prospectus, or to the head office of the Management Company. Investors may also apply to redeem
Shares and obtain payment through the Representative.
FIL (Luxembourg) S.A. is the Distributor for Sweden and acts as agent for the General Distributor, FIL Distributors. All instructions
can be addressed to the Representative or to FIL (Luxembourg) S.A. at the address given below:
2a, Rue Albert Borschette

to another should be delivered in writing to the Representative or Distributor and in the form prescribed by the Representative or
Distributor.
Application forms may be obtained in Sweden on request from the Representative or the Distributor. Investors may apply for
Shares in any major freely convertible currency. Where the investor deals in a currency which differs from the Principal Dealing
Currency of the relevant class, the investment amount will be converted into the Principal Dealing Currency prior to purchase.
Similarly, sales proceeds may be received by the investor in other major freely convertible currency as set out in the Prospectus.
Further information concerning the Fund and procedures for application and redemption may be obtained from a Distributor or the
Representative in Sweden.
Publication of Prices
Prices for Shares of the Fund may be obtained from any Distributor or from the Representative in Sweden. Shares are listed on
the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The Net Asset Values of the appropriate funds will generally be published with the mention
‘plus charges’ in Dagens Industri at least twice a month.
Taxation
The Directors of the Fund are informed of the following summary of certain Swedish tax consequences related to the holding of
Shares for individuals and limited liability companies resident in Sweden for tax purposes. The summary is intended to provide
general information only. It does not constitute legal or tax advice and is not exhaustive. The summary does inter alia not cover
income tax issues in cases where the Shares are held as financial instruments in stock for corporate tax purposes or by a
partnership. The tax treatment for investors depends in part on their particular situation. Before investing in Shares of the Fund,
each investor should consult a professional tax advisor as to the tax consequences relating to their particular circumstances
resulting from holding the Shares.
a) For individuals, dividends declared in respect of Shares and such capital gains as are made upon the disposal, conversion
or redemption of Shares are classified as capital income and are taxed at a rate of 30%. It should be noted that the switch
of Shares in one fund into Shares in another fund is treated as a disposal of Shares.
b) For individuals, capital losses on listed securities that are taxed as share related instruments (Sw: delägarrätter) may as a
general rule be fully deducted from capital gains on all listed securities that are taxed as share related instruments and from
capital gains on unlisted share related instruments. 70% of a loss in excess of such gains may be deducted from other capital
income. However, a loss on listed securities (that are taxed as share related instruments) in a UCITS which only holds bonds
is fully deductible in the capital income category. If a net loss should arise in the capital income category in a given year,
such net loss may reduce the tax on income from employment and business operations as well as property tax. This tax
reduction is granted at 30% of the net loss that does not exceed SEK 100,000 and at 21% of the net loss for any remaining
part. Net losses not absorbed by these tax reductions cannot be carried forward to future tax years.
c) For limited liability companies, all income is attributable to the category of business operations and is taxed at a rate of 20.6%.
Please see a) above regarding taxable events.
d) For limited liability companies, capital losses on Shares, which are held as capital investments, may only be deducted from
capital gains on securities that are taxed as share related instruments. Capital losses not deducted from such gains may be
carried forward to reduce such capital gains in future tax periods without limitations in time.
e) Individual as well as corporate investors have to include a notional income in their tax returns based on the value of their
fund investments. The notional income is 0.4% of the value of the fund shares at the beginning of the calendar year. The
notional income will be taxed at the investment income rate of 30% for individuals and 20.6% for corporate investors.
f) An elective regime for taxation of capital gains and dividend distributions of individuals may be applied. For assets deposited
in an investment savings account (“investeringssparkonto”) there is no taxation of gains and dividends. Instead, the account
holder must declare a notional income based on the average value of the account during the year calculated in a certain
way prescribed in the legislation. The notional income is tied to the interest rate on government bonds at the end of November
in the year before the year for which the notional income is recognised. For the income year 2021 the notional income is
1.25% of the calculated average value. The notional income is taxed at the investment income rate of 30%.
For individuals who elect to apply this regime items a) and b) above will not apply. Further, they will not declare the notional
income described in e) above.
g) Specific tax consequences may be applicable to certain categories of companies, e.g. investment companies, insurance
companies and pension foundations.
h) Investors should also read the taxation section in the Prospectus, which describes additional tax consequences for investors.
Investors should seek their own professional advice as to the tax consequences before investing in Shares in the Fund.
Taxation law and practices, and the levels of taxation, are subject to future alteration.

Taxation
The summary below is intended only as a general guide for potential investors and does not constitute tax advice. Intending
investors are strongly advised to seek independent professional advice concerning possible taxation or other considerations that
may be relevant to their particular circumstances. Potential investors should note that the following information relates only to
United Kingdom taxation and is based on advice received by the Directors regarding current law and practice. It is therefore
subject to any subsequent changes.
The Directors of the Fund are informed of the following general taxation consequences for investors resident in the United Kingdom
and subject to UK tax:
a) The Offshore Funds (Tax) Regulations 2009 (as amended) (“the Regulations”) provide that if an investor resident in the UK for
taxation purposes holds an interest in an offshore fund, and the fund is not certified as a ‘reporting fund’ for the entire period in which
the investor holds that interest, any gain (calculated without the benefit of indexation) accruing to the investor upon sale or other
disposal of the interest (including a disposal pursuant to a switch transaction) will be taxed as income and not as a capital gain.
Investors (or their advisors) should now use the “Statutory Residence Test” to determine whether the individual is resident in the
tax for UK tax purposes.
b) Section 355 TIOPA (Taxation (International and Other Provisions) Act 2010 defines the term “offshore fund” for the purposes of
applying the Regulations. For these purposes, each of the constituent funds and Share classes of the Fund will be regarded as a
separate offshore fund. Accordingly, the different funds and/or Share classes of the Fund must each obtain “reporting fund” status
in their own right.
c) HM Revenue & Customs (‘HMRC’) have granted ‘UK reporting fund’ status, for the purposes of the Offshore Funds (Tax)
Regulations 2009 (as amended), in respect of all funds and Share classes of the Fund which are registered in the United
Kingdom beginning with the accounting period commencing 1 May 2010, or, if later, the date on which the fund / Share class
was first registered for distribution to UK resident Shareholders. This regime replaced a previous regime under which all
funds and Share classes of the Fund registered in the UK obtained “distributing fund” status for periods up to and including
the year ending 30 April 2010 (see also e) below). Please note there can be no guarantee that these funds or Share classes
will remain so certified, however, once reporting fund status has been obtained from HMRC for each fund / Share class, it
remains in place for all subsequent periods provided that the annual reporting requirements set out in the Regulations are
satisfied. The Directors undertake to operate the Fund in a manner that will enable the relevant funds / Share classes to
comply with the annual requirements under the UK reporting fund regime.
d) Under the Regulations, all “reporting funds” are required to disclose annually to investors and HMRC the “total reportable income”
arising in each certified fund / Share class in order to maintain “reporting fund” status. UK resident Shareholders who hold their
interests at the end of the reporting period to which the reported income relates will be subject to income tax or corporation tax on
the higher of any cash distribution paid and the full reported amount for the relevant funds or Share classes held. Please note that
the tax point for investors in relation to the excess reportable income over cash distributions is 6 months following the end of the
fund’s accounting period.
e) For shareholders that held an interest in one or more funds during the accounting periods up to and including the period ending
30 April 2010, “reporting fund” certification will apply in accordance with the transitional provisions in the Regulations, which cover
those funds previously certified as “distributing funds” for UK tax purposes. Specifically, the distributing funds and Share classes
of the Fund which are registered in the UK and which have been certified for all accounting periods up to 30 April 2010 as
“distributing funds” will be treated as having obtained “reporting fund” status for these periods for the purposes of applying the
Regulations. Shareholders who have held interests in funds / Share classes not previously certified as ‘distributing funds’ for UK
tax purposes will be regarded as holding interests in ‘non-reporting offshore funds’ for the purposes of the Regulations and, as
such, will be subject to income tax or corporation tax on any ‘offshore income gain’ subsequently arising on disposal of those
interests.
f) Subject to paragraph (a) above, capital gains arising on a disposal of Shares by individuals will be liable to capital gains tax if
together with other net gains, they exceed the annual exemption, which is GBP 12,300 for the fiscal year ended 5 April 2022. The
applicable rate of capital gains tax for non-corporate investors is currently a flat rate of 10% for basic rate taxpayers and 20% for
higher / additional rate income tax payers. In the case of companies generally, gains arising on a disposal of Shares, will be liable
to corporation tax. The mainstream rate of corporation tax is currently 19%. Tax rates may be different for subsequent financial
years and the UK Government has announced the corporation tax rate is to increase to 25% (for taxable profits exceeding £250,000)
from 1 April 2023..
g) Dividends received by Shareholders liable to UK income tax or reinvested on their behalf in further Shares, or reported income in
excess of the dividends received by Shareholders, received from corporate offshore funds which are largely invested in equities will
be charged to income tax as dividends from a non-UK resident company. These income receipts should be declared on the
investor’s tax return and will be taxable at the applicable rate of income tax. The rate will be 7.5% for basic rate tax payers, 32.5%
for higher rate tax payers and 38.1% for additional rate tax payers. From 5 April 2018, an annual allowance of £2,000 of tax-free
dividend income is available to UK tax-resident individual Shareholders. There is no longer a 10% tax credit in respect of dividend
income.
h) It should be noted that, where 60% or more of the fund assets are invested in interest-bearing products, individuals receiving
distributions and/or reported income will be treated for UK tax purposes as having received interest income and not a dividend.
This will mean that the applicable tax rates will be those for interest income, currently 0% starting rate (applies to savings income
only up to a maximum income of £5,000 where other taxable income is less than GBP 12,570, reduced by GBP 1 for each GBP
1 of other taxable income in excess of GBP 12,570 for the fiscal year ending 5 April 2020); 20% basic rate; 40% higher rate; and
45% additional rate for taxable income over GBP 150,000) and that no tax credit will apply. An annual tax-free personal savings
allowance of £1,000 for basic rate or £500 for higher rate taxpayers is also available. It will be noted in the report to investors
where a specific fund is to be regarded as a ‘bond fund’ for UK tax purposes such that the above treatment will apply.
i) Income equalisation arrangements operate in respect of all Share classes in all fund ranges. As a result, except where noted, it is
expected that for distributions or reportable income received from 1 May 2010 Shareholders resident in the United Kingdom for
taxation purposes should not be liable to tax on the first distribution or reported income allocated to them after the issue of Shares,
to the extent that there is any equalisation amount reported to them which represents income accrued at the date of subscription;
such equalisation amount will instead be deducted from the base cost of their Shares.
j) Individual Shareholders resident in the UK should note the provisions of Chapter 2 of Part 13 of the Income Tax Act 2007. These
provisions are directed to the prevention of avoidance of income tax through transactions resulting in the transfer of assets or income
to persons (including companies) resident or domiciled outside the UK and may render them liable to taxation in respect of any
undistributed income and profits of the Fund on an annual basis. In view of the income distribution and reporting policy of the Fund,
it is not anticipated that these provisions will have any material effect on UK resident individual Shareholders. This legislation is not
directed towards the taxation of capital gains.
k) The attention of investors resident in the UK (and who, if individuals, are also domiciled in the UK for those purposes) is also drawn
to the provisions of Section 3 (formerly Section 13) of Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 ‘Section 3’). Under these provisions,
where a chargeable gain accrues to a company that is not resident in the UK, but which would be a close company if it were resident
in the UK, a person may be treated as though a proportional part of that chargeable gain, calculated by reference to their interest in
the company, has accrued to them. No liability under Section 13 can be incurred by such a person, however, where such proportion
does not exceed one-quarter of the gain.
l) Dividends received by Shareholders subject to UK corporation tax or reinvested on their behalf in further Shares, will be treated as
income receipts. For Shareholders subject to UK corporation tax, most forms of overseas dividends will be exempt from the charge
to UK corporation tax provided they fall within one of the exempt classes of distributions listed in Part 9A of the Corporation Tax Act
2009. The attention of corporate Shareholders is drawn to Chapter 3 of Part 6 of the Corporation Tax Act 2009, whereby relevant
interests of companies in offshore funds may be deemed to constitute a loan relationship with the consequence that all profits
and losses on such relevant interests are chargeable to corporation tax in accordance with a fair value basis of accounting.
The relevant provisions apply where the market value of interest bearing-securities and other qualifying investments of a
fund comprises more than 60% of the value of all the investments of that fund at any time during an accounting period.
m) Corporate Shareholders resident in the UK should note that Part 9A of TIOPA 2010 introduced an extensive reform of the
UK controlled foreign companies (“CFC”) rules, which may affect UK Corporate Shareholders in the Fund if certain conditions
are met. These provisions may subject UK resident companies to corporation tax on profits of non-resident companies, controlled
by persons resident in the UK, in which they have a ‘relevant interest’. If a company falls within the definition of a CFC, the attribution
of chargeable profits to UK corporate investors will be determined to the extent that chargeable profits cannot be reduced through
any of the available exemptions. The risk of falling within the scope of the UK CFC regime will depend largely on the composition
of Shareholders in the Fund and any UK Corporate Shareholders concerned about the application of these provisions to their
interest in the Fund should seek independent advice.
n) Investors who are insurance companies within the charge to United Kingdom corporation taxation holding their Shares in the Fund
for the purposes of their long-term business (other than pension business) will be deemed to dispose of and immediately reacquire
those Shares at the end of each accounting period.
o) Investors should also read the taxation section in Part III of the Prospectus which describes additional tax consequences for
investors. Shareholders should seek their own professional advice as to the tax consequences before investing in Shares in the
Fund. Taxation law and practice, and the levels of taxation, are subject to future alteration.

Commissions/Charges
The price of Shares in the Fund will consist of the Net Asset Value of the Shares for the relevant fund plus an initial charge per
share class as described in 2.1. “Classes of Shares” in Part II of the Prospectus. On a switch, a fee will be charged of up to 1.00%
of the Net Asset Value of the Shares to be issued. Please refer to 2.2.3. “How to Switch” in Part II of the Prospectus for full details.

commission at a rate not exceeding the switch fee may be paid to the regulated intermediary concerned. An ongoing commission
may also be payable to intermediaries based on the value of your holding. Your intermediary will give you full details on request.
