Trading in Chinese government bonds and other Chinese-based debt instruments through Bond Connect is subject to certain restrictions and risks. Bonds listed on Bond Connect may lose purchase eligibility, which could adversely affect the Fund’s performance. Trading through Bond Connect is subject to order, clearance, and settlement procedures that may continue to develop as the program matures. Any changes in laws, regulations and policies applicable to Bond Connect may affect bond prices. These risks are heightened as the Bond Connect program is relatively new and may be subject to further interpretation and guidance. As a result of different legal standards, the Fund faces the risk of being unable to enforce its rights with respect to holdings in Chinese securities and the information about the Chinese securities in which the Fund invests may be less reliable or complete. |
