Investment objective and risk profile JPMorgan Asian Investment Trust plc Investment Objective Aims to provide capital growth from a diversified portfolio of around 50 to 80 companies quoted on the Asian stock markets, excluding Japan. The Company amended its distribution policy for the year commencing 1 October 2016. The Company pays quarterly dividends equivalent to 1 of its net asset value, set on the last business day of each financial quarter. The Company also has the ability to use gearing up to a maximum level of 20 of net assets to increase potential returns to shareholders. Risk Profile Exchange rate changes may cause the value of underlying overseas investments to go down as well as up. Investments in emerging markets may involve a higher element of risk due to political and economic instability and underdeveloped markets and systems. Shares may also be traded less frequently than those on established markets. This means that there may be difficulty in both buying and selling shares and individual share prices may be subject to short-term price fluctuations. This fund may use derivatives for investment purposes or for efficient portfolio management. External factors may cause an entire asset class to decline in value. Prices and values of all shares or all bonds could decline at the same time. This trust may utlilise gearing (borrowing) which will exaggerate market movements both up and down. This trust may also invest in smaller companies which may increase its risk profile. Please refer to the Investor Disclosure document for more information relating to the Trust. 17
