1 Vanguard ETFs: A low-cost way to capture global equity market returns Vanguard FTSE Asia ex Japan Index ETF (2805) Vanguard FTSE Japan Index ETF (3126) - NEW Vanguard FTSE Developed Europe Index ETF (3101) - NEW Vanguard FTSE Asia ex Japan High Dividend Yield Index ETF (3085) - NEW IMPORTANT: Investment involves risk, including the loss of principal. Investors are advised to consider their own investment objectives and circumstances in determining the suitability of an investment in the Vanguard FTSE Asia ex Japan Index ETF, the Vanguard FTSE Japan Index ETF, the Vanguard FTSE Asia ex Japan High Dividend Yield Index ETF and the Vanguard FTSE Developed Europe Index ETF (the Funds ). If you are in any doubt, you should seek professional advice. Investors should refer to the Funds prospectus for further details, including the product features and risk factors. Investors should not base investment decisions on this marketing material alone. Investors should note: The Funds aim to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, closely correspond to the performance of the FTSE Asia Pacific ex Japan, Australia and New Zealand Index, the FTSE Japan Index, the FTSE Asia Pacific ex Japan, Australia and New Zealand High Dividend Yield Index and the FTSE Developed Europe Index. The Funds invest in financial derivatives instruments ( FDIs ) which are more sensitive to changes in market prices of the underlying assets and investing in FDIs, may expose investors to a higher degree of fluctuations and the Funds may be exposed to credit risk on the counterparties with which they trade FDIs. The units of the Funds are traded on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ( SEHK ). Their prices on the SEHK are based on secondary market trading factors and the Funds market prices may deviate significantly from the net asset value. The Vanguard FTSE Asia ex Japan Index ETF and the Vanguard FTSE Asia ex Japan High Dividend Yield Index ETF invest in securities markets that are considered to be emerging markets which involve a greater risk of loss than investing in more developed markets due to, among other factors, greater political, tax, economic, foreign exchange, liquidity and regulatory risks. The Vanguard FTSE Asia ex Japan High Dividend Yield Index ETF invests in high dividend yield securities which may offer a higher rate of dividend yield. However, high dividend yield securities are subject to risks that the dividend could be reduced or abolished, or the risks that the value of the securities could decline or have lower-than average potential for price appreciation. The Vanguard FTSE Japan Index ETF concentrates its investment in the Japanese securities market which may involve a higher level of risks compared to investing in a more diversified portfolio/strategy and a greater risk of loss than investing in other markets and may result in a higher risk of loss to the fund. Changes in governmental regulations on trade, exchange rate of the Japanese yen, decreasing imports or exports, and/or an economic recession in Japan may have a significant adverse effect on the Japanese economy. The Vanguard FTSE Developed Europe Index ETF invests in European securities markets which involve a greater risk of loss than investing in other markets and may result in a higher risk of loss to the fund. Changes in governmental or European Union (the EU ) regulations on trade, exchange rate of the euro, decreasing imports or exports, the default or threat of default by an EU member country on its sovereign debt, and/or an economic recession in an EU member country may have a significant adverse effect on the EU economy. Further, the Economic and Monetary Union of the EU requires compliance with interest rates, debt levels, restrictions on inflation rates, deficits and fiscal and monetary controls, each of which may significantly affect the EU economy.
2 A trusted name Vanguard may be new to Hong Kong, but our parent company, The Vanguard Group, Inc., was founded in the United States in 1975 with a commitment to serving our clients interests exclusively. Over the years, we have held firm to that commitment and become the largest mutual fund company 1 and the third largest exchange-traded fund (ETF) provider 2 in the world. In 1996 we established our first office outside the United States in Australia. We later expanded into Japan, Europe, Canada, Singapore and, most recently, Hong Kong. A unique client focus Why have clients from around the world entrusted us with more than USD 2.8 trillion in assets? 3 The answer lies in our core purpose: To take a stand for all investors, to treat them fairly and to give them the best chance for investment success. What sets us apart and lets us deliver on that promise is our ownership structure in the United States. Unlike other investment management companies, we don t have public shareholders or private owners expecting dividends. We are owned by our US-domiciled funds, which in turn are owned by their investors. As a result, we have no conflicting interests and can stay focused on doing what s best for our clients. The most tangible benefit to our clients is our low costs. Our investment philosophy Vanguard believes successful investing begins with focusing on what you can control. You can t control market returns, but you can set clear goals, stay diversified, keep costs low and maintain long-term discipline. Following these principles can be an effective way to achieve long-term results. Consistent with those principles, we believe an investor s core portfolio should consist of low-cost exposure to the broad markets. An indexing leader Vanguard introduced the first index fund for individual investors in the United States in 1976, beginning the era of low-cost index investing. Over the last decade, we have extended our indexing expertise to ETFs. Why indexing? Index investments provide an ideal way to capture broad market returns. Instead of hiring fund managers to select which securities a fund will hold, an index fund buys all Figure 1.

3 (or a representative sample) of the securities in the market index it seeks to track. Because index investments hold securities until the index itself changes, they typically have very low costs. Due mostly to their low costs, index investments have generally outperformed higher-cost investments over time. 4 In addition to a potential performance edge, index investments offer other appealing traits, including: Diversification. Most index funds and ETFs hold a broad range of securities, which can help reduce risk. Style consistency. An investor who seeks exposure to a particular market and selects an index fund that tracks that market is assured of a consistent allocation. Transparency. Because index funds and ETFs are designed to track an index and hold the same securities (or a representative sample), index funds and ETFs are transparent and easy to understand. ETFs: Another way to index ETFs have become popular for features that traditional index funds don t offer. Like index funds, ETFs offer the benefits of low costs and diversification. But ETFs have the added flexibility of trading on a stock exchange. Like individual stocks, they can be bought and sold through an adviser or a brokerage account at market-determined prices, whenever the exchange is open. Combining indexing with active management Investors who seek market outperformance, but without the potentially higher costs and risks of an all active portfolio, may benefit from combining indexing and active strategies. The appeal of this approach is that it seeks to provide risk control through indexing while also offering prospects of outperformance. Vanguard ETFs offer low-cost access to global equity markets Vanguard ETFs offer you the diversification and transparency of indexing with the low costs and investment expertise for which Vanguard is known. With exposure to broad equity markets in Asia ex Japan, Japan and Europe, our ETFs offer you access to more than 40% of the world s total equity market capitalisation. 5 And Vanguard s low costs mean you keep more of your returns a benefit that compounds in your favour over time. The average total expense ratio (TER) of our four ETFs is just 0.33% annually, compared with 0.73% for all ETFs listed in Hong Kong. 6 Used together or individually, Vanguard ETFs offer you a flexible, low-cost and high-quality way to build a globally diversified portfolio.
