BEA Asia Strategic Growth Fund
(a Sub-fund of the BEA Capital Growth Fund)
IMPORTANT
|
The BEA Asia Strategic Growth Fund (the "Fund") seeks long-term capital appreciation (in US dollar terms) by investing in a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of listed securities of companies whose principal business activities are conducted in the Asia Pacific region (excluding Japan and Hong Kong). |
 |
The Fund invests in a single region which may subject to higher concentration risk than funds which invest in a number of different markets. |
|
The Fund invests in emerging markets which are subject to higher risk than those established markets. Emerging markets may involve additional market, currency, legal and regulatory and liquidity risks. The high volatility in such markets could result in you suffering substantial losses. |
|
The investment decision is yours, but you should not invest in the Fund unless the intermediary who sells it to you has explained to you that the Fund is suitable for you and why, including how buying it would be consistent with your investment objective. |
