Fund Overview

ABF Pan Asia Bond Index Fund (PAIF) is a component of Asian Bond Fund 2 (ABF2), the second phase of the EMEAP (Executives' Meeting of East-Asia and Pacific Central Banks) Group's initiative to further develop the bond markets in Asia. The EMEAP Group comprises 11 central banks and monetary authorities in East Asia and Pacific region, namely Australia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand.

Fund Objective

The ABF Pan Asia Bond Index Fund (PAIF) is an exchange traded fund (ETF) that aims to track the performance of the Markit iBoxx ABF Pan-Asia Index (Index) before fees and expenses. The Manager seeks to achieve this investment objective by employing a stratified sampling approach to match the Index's characteristics and returns through investing in a well-diversified portfolio that represents the Index.

About the Index

PAIF is benchmarked to Markit iBoxx ABF Pan-Asia Index (i.e. the Underlying Index), which is constructed and published by Markit Indices GmbH.

The Markit iBoxx ABF Pan-Asia Index is an indicator of investment returns of Asian currency denominated bonds issued by both government and quasi-government organizations in China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand.

Aside from market capitalization, Markit Indices GmbH also considers liquidity of the market, the country's sovereign rating, and the openness of the market, which takes into consideration the regulatory, legal and fiscal environment, and the trading and clearing infrastructure of each local market.

Bonds generally present less short-term risk and volatility than stocks, but contain interest rate risk (as interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall); issuer default risk; issuer credit risk; liquidity risk; and inflation risk. These effects are usually pronounced for longer-term securities. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to a substantial gain or loss.

Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss.

ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETFs net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns. Frequent trading of ETF's could significantly increase commissions and other costs such that they may offset any savings from low fees or costs.
