- Sub-funds which invest in emerging markets may be subject to higher liquidity and volatility risks, while Sub-funds which invest in a particular market or sector may be subject to higher concentration risk than funds following a more diversified policy.
- Sub-funds which invest in lower-rated fixed income instruments, including below investment grade and non-rated debt securities, are subject to greater credit and liquidity risks than higher-rated securities.
- Sub-funds may enter into futures contracts and currency forward contracts for hedging and investment purposes. Given the leverage effect embedded in futures and currency forward contracts, a Sub-fund may be exposed to significant losses.
- BEA Union Investment China A-Share Equity Fund will invest at least 70% of its assets in China A-Shares, primarily through a QFII which is subject to applicable regulations imposed by the PRC authorities, including among others, repatriation restrictions, which may subject the Sub-fund to significant liquidity risk. Investment in the Sub-fund involves significant risks relating to the PRC, including, among others, emerging market risks, social, political and regulatory risks. Given the significant risks associated with investing in China A-Shares, the Sub-fund may be exposed to significant losses.
- BEA Union Investment China A-Share Equity Fund may be subject to the risks associated with changes in the PRC laws and regulations, including PRC tax laws, and such changes may have retrospective effect and adversely impact the Sub-fund. The Manager currently intends to make provisions for any PRC taxes payable by the Sub-fund on the gross realised capital gains derived from the disposal of PRC Securities, at the rate of 10% (or as otherwise advised by the Sub-fund's tax adviser). Such provisions may be excessive or inadequate to meet the actual tax liabilities. In case of any shortfall between the provisions and actual tax liabilities, which will be debited from the Sub-fund's assets, the Sub-fund's asset value will be adversely affected.

Exposure to FDIs involves additional credit/counterparty, market and liquidity risks and may result in substantial losses. Given the leverage effect embedded in certain types of FDIs, such investments may result in losses as much as 100% of the net asset value of the relevant Sub-fund.
- Some Sub-funds may invest in collective investment schemes which may invest in any one or a combination of the following instruments:
- asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, collateralised debt obligations and/or credit default swaps;
- investment grade securities which may be downgraded to below investment grade securities; and/or
