First Sentier Group FSSA Asian Equity Plus Fund

The Fund aims to grow your investment. Policy: The Fund invests at least 70% of its assets in shares of companies based in, or closely associated with, the Asia Pacific region (excluding Japan). The Fund invests in companies offering the potential to pay a regular income as well as having the potential for long term growth. The Fund may invest in any emerging markets in the Asia Pacific region, in companies of any size or industry. Emerging markets are countries that are progressing toward becoming advanced, usually shown by some development in financial markets, the existence of some form of stock exchange and a regulatory body. The Fund will not invest more than 50% of its assets in China A Shares. The Fund’s performance is compared against the value of the MSCI AC Asia Pacific ex Japan Index. The Fund is actively managed meaning that the Investment Manager uses expertise to pick investments rather than tracking a benchmark. A majority of the Fund’s assets could be components of the benchmark. Investment of the Fund’s assets is not constrained by the benchmark composition and the Investment Manager has complete discretion within the Fund’s investment policy to invest in assets without regard to the benchmark. The Fund may use derivatives with the aim of risk reduction or efficient management. 5 years has been chosen as the Fund should be considered as a long term investment given its objective. You can buy and sell shares in the Fund on any dealing day. A dealing day is generally defined as a day on which Irish banks and, if applicable, the relevant stock exchange(s) are open for business. Exceptions are noted on the FSI website. As long as we receive your instruction before 10 am (Irish time) on a dealing day, shares will be bought and sold at that day’s price. You may receive less than expected if you sell your shares earlier than the recommended holding period. You may receive a regular income from your investment which will be paid semi-annually. This may affect the potential growth of your investment.
