A positive distribution yield does not imply a positive return. The calculation method of annualised yield: (dividend value/ bid price as of ex-dividend date) x 12. The annualised dividend yield is calculated based on the dividend distribution on the relevant date with dividend reinvested, and may be higher or lower than the actual annual dividend yield. Dividend may be paid out of capital and will result in capital erosion. The performance and dividend yield of a may be affected by many factors such as, where applicable, exchange rate fluctuation, currency hedging costs and interest rate differentiation between different currencies. Therefore, different es may have different performance and dividend yield, and the performance and dividend yield of a cannot be used to represent the performance and dividend yield of another.

HSBC Asia Pacific ex Japan Equity Volatility Focused Fund is constituted in the form of a unit trust. It is a sub-fund (the Sub-Fund ) of an umbrella fund, HSBC Collective Investment Trust (the Fund ). Objectives and Investment Strategy The Sub-Fund aims to provide long term total return by investing in a portfolio of equities. The Sub-Fund invests (normally a minimum 90% of its net assets) in equities and equity equivalent securities of companies which have their registered office in, and with an official listing on a major stock exchange or other regulated market of any Asia Pacific country (excluding Japan) as well as companies which carry out a preponderant part of their economic activities in the Asia Pacific region (excluding Japan). The Sub-Fund may invest the remaining assets in money market instruments, cash instruments and cash. 90% The Sub-Fund aims to deliver lower portfolio volatility relative to the MSCI AC Asia Pacific ex Japan USD Net Index through portfolio optimisation to lower overall portfolio volatility by selecting a combination of lower volatility stocks and higher volatility stocks that are less correlated and thereby diversifying the portfolio. There is no guarantee that such an approach will always produce a portfolio of lower volatility than the relevant index. The Sub-Fund may rely on market research and quantitative analysis to estimate individual stock volatility and intra-stock correlation as part of its portfolio optimisation process. The Sub-Fund normally invests across a range of market capitalisations without any capitalisation restriction. The Sub-Fund will not invest more than 10% of its net assets in convertible bonds. 10%
The Sub-Fund may invest in China A-Shares and B-Shares listed on stock exchanges in the PRC, H-Shares listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange ( SEHK ) and other China-related shares or securities listed on the above exchanges as well as on other exchanges outside of the PRC, Hong Kong and Macau ( other China-related listed securities ). For other China-related listed securities, the Sub-Fund will invest in securities of companies which carry out or possess a preponderant part of their business activities in or are related to China. A B H The Sub-Fund may directly access China A-Shares through the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect or indirectly access China A-Shares through China A-Shares Access Products (CAAPs). The Sub-Fund s total exposure to China A-Shares and B-Shares will not be more than 10% of its net asset value. AACAAP A A B 10% Notwithstanding the foregoing, at present, the Manager does not intend to invest in China A-Shares (through the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect), CAAPs or B-Shares in respect of the Sub-Fund. The Manager will give at least one month's prior notice to Unitholders if there is a change in such intention. A CAAP B The Manager will not enter into securities lending, repurchase or reverse repurchase transactions or similar over-the-counter transactions in respect of the Sub-Fund. Prior approval will be obtained from the SFC and at least one month s prior notice will be given to Unitholders if there is a change in such intention. The Sub-Fund may use derivative instruments such as deliverable / non-deliverable forwards for hedging purpose. The Sub-Fund may also use on-exchange traded index futures for hedging purposes and non-hedging purposes such as cash flow management and cash equitisation. Cash equitisation refers to the use of idle cash of the portfolio to simulate equity exposure with the prospect of generating additional gains from the long-term growth in equity markets. The Sub-Fund may use on-exchange traded index futures for up to 15% of the net asset value of the Sub-Fund for purposes other than hedging. 15% Financial derivative instruments may also be embedded in other instruments used by the Sub-Fund (for example, CAAPs, participation notes and convertible bonds). The Sub-Fund may use such instruments for up to 15% of the net asset value of the Sub-Fund for purposes other than hedging. CAAP 15% Save as mentioned above, the Sub-Fund will not invest in other derivative instruments for investment purposes. The Sub-Fund will normally be exposed to currencies of Asia Pacific (excluding Japan) as well as other emerging and developed market currencies. What are the Key Risks? Investment involves risks. Please refer to the offering document for details including the risk factors. Investment risk The Sub-Fund is an investment fund. The Sub-Fund s investment portfolio may fall in value and therefore you may suffer losses by investing in the Sub-Fund. Investing in the Sub-Fund is not the same as deposits with a bank. There is no guarantee in respect of repayment of principal. There is no guarantee on regular payment of distributions and, if distribution is made, the rate of such distributions is not guaranteed. There is no guarantee that the Sub-Fund s investment objective can be achieved. Risk in connection with the investment strategy Whilst the Sub-Fund aims to for lower portfolio volatility compared to the MSCI AC Asia Pacific ex Japan USD Net Index, there is no guarantee that such investment objective and strategy (i.e. to lower portfolio volatility) can be achieved. There is a possibility that portfolio optimisation may not be achieved and the Sub-Fund s value may be adversely affected.
Equity securities risk Investment in equity securities is subject to market risk. The prices of such securities may also be volatile and are affected by the business, performance and activities of individual companies as well as general market and economic conditions. If the market value of equity securities in which the Sub-Fund invests in goes down, its net asset value may be adversely affected, and investors may suffer substantial losses. Investors may not get back the amount they initially invested in the Sub-Fund. Geographical concentration risk The Sub-Fund invests primarily in the Asia Pacific (ex Japan) markets which involve higher concentration risks. The value of the Sub-Fund may be more volatile than that of a fund having a more diverse portfolio of investments. Emerging markets risk The Sub-Fund invests primarily in the Asia Pacific (ex Japan) markets which include countries considered as emerging markets. Investing in emerging markets involves a greater risk of loss than investing in more developed markets due to, among other factors, greater political, tax, economic, foreign exchange, liquidity, market volatility (such as interest rate and price volatility) and regulatory risks. The Sub-Fund s investment in emerging markets may be subject to significant losses. The net asset value of the Sub-Fund may be adversely affected, and, as a result, investors may suffer a loss in their investment in the Sub-Fund. Foreign exchange risk Because the Sub-Fund s assets and liabilities may be denominated in currencies different from the Sub-Fund s base currency (USD), the Sub- Fund may be affected unfavourably by exchange control regulations or changes in the exchange rates between the Sub-Fund s base currency and other currencies. An investor may suffer losses arising from changes in currency exchange rates of investments held by the Sub-Fund. Dividends (for the distribution es of Units only) will be paid in the relevant Currency, which may involve currency conversion of the proceeds obtained from realisation of the Sub-Fund s assets. Currency conversion involves foreign exchange risks as the exchange rates are subject to fluctuations. Currency conversion risk for RMB denominated es The Sub-Fund offers RMB denominated es of Units. Subscriptions and redemptions for the Sub-Fund may involve conversion of currency. Currency conversion will be conducted at the applicable exchange rate and subject to the applicable spread. If currency hedging between RMB and the base currency is not effective, and depending on the exchange rate movements of RMB relative to the base currency of the Sub-Fund and/or other currency(ies) of the non-rmb-denominated underlying investments, an investor (i) may still suffer losses even if there are gains or no losses in the value of the non-rmb-denominated underlying investments; or (ii) may suffer additional losses if the non-rmb-denominated underlying investments of the Sub-Fund fall in value. (i) (ii) Currency conversion is also subject to the Sub-Fund s ability to convert the proceeds into RMB which may also affect the Sub-Fund s ability to meet redemption requests from Unitholders in RMB denominated es of Units or to make distributions, and may delay the payment of redemption proceeds or dividends. As RMB is not freely convertible, currency conversion is subject to availability of RMB at the relevant time. The Sub-Fund may not have sufficient RMB for its investments. Further, in case of sizable redemption requests for the RMB es, the Manager has the absolute discretion to delay any payment in respect of redemption of the RMB es (for a period not exceeding one calendar month of receipt of a properly documented redemption request). When calculating the net asset value of Units of a RMB denominated, the Manager will apply the exchange rate for offshore RMB market in Hong Kong, i.e. the CNH exchange rate, which may be at a premium or discount to the exchange rate for onshore RMB market in the PRC, i.e. the CNY exchange rate. Consequently, there may be significant trading costs incurred and investors investing in es of Units denominated in RMB may suffer losses. CNH CNY
Risks concerning Hedged es of Units Investment in Hedged es which do not hedge underlying portfolio currency exposures back to the investor s own currency may result in the investor taking speculative currency positions which may be volatile and may have a material impact on Unitholders returns. A Hedged aims to hedge the currency risk between the base currency and the Currency of the Hedged. Investment in Hedged es may preclude Unitholders from benefiting from an increase in the value of the Sub-Fund s base currency relative to the Currency of the Hedged es. There is no guarantee that (a) any hedging objective will be achieved, or (b) any hedging strategy will fully and effectively eliminate the effects of exchange rate fluctuations. (a)(b) The Sub-Fund s underlying assets (which may be denominated in various currencies different from the Sub-Fund s base currency) may not be hedged either to the base currency of the Sub-Fund or to the Currency of the Hedged. Investors will still be subject to currency risks of the underlying investments in the Sub-Fund s portfolio. Investors should note that the implementation of currency hedging strategies in relation to Hedged es is distinct from the various currency hedging strategies that the Manager may implement at a portfolio level to manage risks at the portfolio level. Derivative risk The Sub-Fund may invest in derivatives for hedging and non-hedging purposes. Investment in derivative instruments can be illiquid, if there is no active market in these instruments. Derivatives are subject to insolvency or default risk of the issuers or counterparties. Besides, many derivative instruments involve an embedded leverage and their prices may be volatile. A relatively small adverse market movement could expose the Sub-Fund to the possibility of a loss exceeding the original amount invested. Investment in derivatives may result in significant losses to the Sub-Fund and hence investors may also suffer significant losses. Where the Sub-Fund invests in derivatives (e.g. forward contracts) for hedging purposes, there can be no assurance that any hedging techniques will fully and effectively eliminate the risk exposure of the Sub-Fund. The Sub-Fund may suffer significant losses if the issuers or counterparties of the derivative instruments default in their obligations, or if the use of derivatives becomes ineffective in hedging. Risks associated with distribution out of capital For distribution es, if payment of dividends is made out of capital or effectively out of capital, it represents a return or withdrawal of part of the amount they originally invested or from any capital gains attributable to the original investment. Any distributions involving payment of dividends out of the Sub-Fund s capital or effectively out of the Sub-Fund s capital will result in an immediate reduction in the net asset value of the relevant of Units.

Dividend is not guaranteed and will result in reduction in net asset value. A positive distribution yield does not imply a positive return. The calculation method of annualised yield: (dividend value/ bid price as of ex-dividend date) x 12. The annualised dividend yield is calculated based on the dividend distribution on the relevant date with dividend reinvested, and may be higher or lower than the actual annual dividend yield. Dividend may be paid out of capital and will result in capital erosion. The performance and dividend yield of a may be affected by many factors such as, where applicable, exchange rate fluctuation, currency hedging costs and interest rate differentiation between different currencies. Therefore, different es may have different performance and dividend yield, and the performance and dividend yield of a cannot be used to represent the performance and dividend yield of another. Investment involves risks. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. Please refer to the offering document for further details including the risk factors.
