1. Fund Switching – U.S Equity Funds

• Previously, we wanted to gain exposure on U.S growth stocks to form a hybrid investment approach on U.S equity part.

• The performance divergence among U.S growth-style equity funds is huge

• As we have downgraded U.S market’s star rating again, it’s good to position U.S equity part defensively

• Fidelity Funds - America Fund A-Acc-USD has been our fund pick in U.S equity category since 2013.

• It has outperformed the S&P 500 (Net Return) Index over the past 4 calendar years.

• As at end-April, this fund holds 54 stocks and its top 10 holdings account for 35.4% of the fund’s assets.

• We propose to switch from Legg Mason ClearBridge US Aggressive Growth Fund (USD) A Acc to Fidelity Funds -

America Fund A-Acc-USD

2. Fund Switching – Japanese Equity

Funds

• Henderson Horizon Fund - Japanese Smaller Companies Fund (USD) A2 was our fund pick in 2013 and 2014.

• It has the strongest 1-year and 5-year cumulative returns. Its 5-year cumulative returns have far outperformed its

benchmark (85.1% vs 52.4%; as at end April 2016)

• It has more consistent performance over the past five years

• We propose to switch from Aberdeen Global - Japanese Smaller Companies Fund (USD-Hedged) A2

to Henderson Horizon Fund - Japanese Smaller Companies Fund (USD Hedged) A2

3. Increase exposure in Neuberger Berman

China Equity Fund in A and MA

• Currently, we invest in FS China Growth for the Core’s China equity portion

and invest in NB China Equity fund for the Supplementary portfolio.

• The overall exposure in China equity fund in A and MA is 16.5% and

14.75% respectively.

• The diversification effect is not strong as we have higher exposure on

Core’s China equity fund (FS China Growth).

• We will include NB China Equity as part of Core’s China portion and

increase exposure in this fund in A and MA

4. Fund Switching – EM Bond Fund in

Balanced Portfolio

• Currently, in the balanced portfolio, Templeton Global Total Return Fund

(USD) A (acc) is invested to represent Global/EM bond exposure.

• This fund’s performance has been dragged by its currency positions.

• We understand that this fund has high exposure to high investment grade

emerging market debt and currency and limited exposure to G7 sovereign

debt. But we also find that this fund cannot represent EM bond exposure

very well as it is too vulnerable to the currencies movement.

• Invesco Emerging Markets Bond Fund (USD) A Dist is our fund pick in the

EM bond category and our choice in MC and C. It is a “pure” EM bond fund

• Therefore, for the balanced portfolio, we will switch out Templeton Global

Total Return Fund (USD) A (acc) and switch in Invesco Emerging Markets

Bond Fund (USD) A Dist.

performance is not indicative of future results.

• Investors will be exposed to equity market, US markets, concentration, currency and debt securities risks.

• The Fund may use certain types of financial derivative instruments, which may involve a higher degree of risk including but not limited to counterparty,

volatility, liquidity, leverage and valuation risks, and the Fund may suffer a substantial loss.

• Securities of smaller companies generally are less liquid and more volatile than those of larger companies; and smaller companies generally are more

likely to be adversely affected by poor economic or market conditions.

• Investors should not invest based on this marketing material alone. Offering documents should be read for further details, including the risk factors.

RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENTS

•Threadneedle Investment Funds ICVC – European Select (the “Fund”) principally invests mainly in a relatively concentrated portfolio of equities of

companies domiciled in Continental Europe or which have significant Continental European operations. The select investment approach means that the

Authorised Company Director has the flexibility to take significant stock and sector positions which may lead to increased levels of volatility.

•The Fund may invest in one or a combination of the following instruments which may involve embedded leverage: fixed interest securities, other

equities and money market securities. Investing in any one of the above instruments may involve substantial credit/counterparty, market, volatility and

be lost.

•The Fund may have concentrated portfolios (holding a limited number of investments and/or large positions in a relatively small number of stocks). If

number of investments were held or if the Fund had fewer large individual positions. Accordingly, the Fund may carry a higher degree of risk and NAV

volatility than a fund which invests in a broad range of companies and or does not take large positions in a relatively small number of stocks.

Risk Disclosure Statement

• BlackRock Global Funds - Global High Yield Bond Fund (USD) A2

RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENTS

• The Fund invests in debt securities that are subject to both actual or perceived downgrading. The Fund may be affected by changes in prevailing

interest rates and by credit quality considerations. The Fund may be subject to a higher risk of default when it invests in distressed securities.

• Certain shares of the Fund pay dividends gross of expenses or from capital at the Directors’ discretion. Paying dividends gross of expenses may result

in more income being available for distribution; however these shares may effectively pay dividends from capital. Dividends paid from capital may

amount to a partial return of an investor’s original investment or capital gains. All declared dividends result in an immediate reduction in the NAV price of

the share class on the ex-dividend date.

• The Fund may use derivatives to hedge market and currency risk and for efficient portfolio management. However, derivatives will not be extensively

or primarily used for investment purposes. In an adverse situation, the Fund may suffer significant losses from their derivatives usage for hedging and

efficient portfolio management.

• The value of a fund can be volatile and could go down substantially within a short period of time. It is possible that a certain amount of your investment

or withdrawal of part of the amount investors originally invested and/or capital gains attributable to the original investment. This may result in an
