Important Information
| I. | Value Gold ETF (the "Fund") is a fund listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“SEHK”), which aims to provide investment results that closely correspond to the performance of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) Gold Price. |
| II. | The Fund only invests in bullion and may experience greater volatility due to single economic, market or political occurrences when compared to diversified mutual funds or unit trusts. | |
| III. | The Fund offers both listed class of units (the “Listed Class”) and unlisted class of Units (the “Unlisted Class”). Investors of Listed and Unlisted Classes are subject to different pricing and dealing arrangements. The NAV per unit of each of the Listed and Unlisted Classes may be different due to different fees and cost applicable to each Class. The dealing deadlines in respect of the Listed and Unlisted Class are also different. | |
| IV. | Units of the Listed Class are traded on the stock exchange on an intraday basis at the prevailing market price (which may diverge from the corresponding NAV), while units of the Unlisted Class are sold through intermediaries based on the dealing day-end NAV and are dealt at a single valuation point with no access to intraday liquidity in an open market. Depending on market conditions, investors of the Listed Class may be at an advantage or disadvantage compared to investors of the Unlisted Class. | |
| V. | In a stressed market scenario, investors of the Unlisted Class could redeem their units at NAV while investors of the Listed Class could not and may have to exit the Fund at a significant discount. On the other hand, investors of the Listed Class could sell their units on the secondary market during the day thereby crystallising their positions while investors of the Unlisted Class could not do so in a timely manner until the end of the day. | |
| VI. | Investors of Listed and Unlisted Classes are subject to different types of risks. For example, Investors of the Listed Class are exposed to reliance on market makers risk and multi-counter risk. | |
| VII. | The Fund does not insure its bullion and the Fund and unitholders could suffer a loss if the bullion held by the custodian is lost or damaged. | |
| VII. | As the Fund is not actively managed, the Manager will not adopt a temporary defensive position against any market downturn. Investors may lose part or all of their investment. | |
| VII. | You should not make investment decision on the basis of this material alone. Please read the prospectus for details and risk factors. |
