A relatively small number of Chinese companies represent a large portion of China’s total market and thus may be more sensitive to adverse political or economic circumstances and market movements. The economy of China differs, often unfavorably, from the U.S. economy in such respects as structure, general development, government involvement, wealth distribution, rate of inflation, growth rate, allocation of resources and capital reinvestment, among others. Prior to August 2022, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), which regulates auditors of U.S. public companies, had warned that it lacked the ability to inspect audit work and practices of PCAOB-registered accounting firms in China and Hong Kong. In August 2022, the PCAOB secured its ability, through a formal  agreement with Chinese authorities, to inspect audit work and practices of PCAOB-registered accounting firms in China and Hong Kong. Under China’s political and economic system, the central government has historically exercised substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through administrative regulation and/or state ownership. In addition, expropriation, including nationalization, confiscatory taxation, political, economic or social instability or other developments could adversely affect and significantly diminish the values of the Chinese companies in which the Fund invests. International trade tensions may arise from time to time which can result in trade tariffs, embargoes, trade limitations, trade wars and other negative consequences. These consequences may trigger a reduction in international trade, the oversupply of certain manufactured goods, substantial price reductions of goods and possible failure of individual companies and/or large segments of China’s export industry with a potentially severe negative impact to the Fund. From time to time and as recently as January 2020, China has experienced outbreaks of infectious illnesses, and the country may be subject to other public health threats or similar issues in the future. Any spread of an infectious illness, public health threat or similar issue could reduce consumer demand or economic output, result in market closures, travel restrictions or quarantines, and generally have a significant impact on the Chinese economy.</span></td></tr> </table> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"> </p> <div id="xdx_A85_eoef--RiskTextBlock_hoef--RiskAxis__custom--ChinaASharesInvestmentRisksMember_zRZN6pVOvs5b"></div> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%"> <tr style="vertical-align: top"> <td style="width: 3%"> </td> <td style="width: 3%; font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt">o</span></td> <td style="width: 94%; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><b>China A-Shares Investment Risk.</b> The liquidity of the A-shares market and trading prices of A-shares could be more severely affected than the liquidity and trading prices of other markets because the Chinese government restricts the flow of capital into and out of the A-shares market.

A primary feature of Stock Connect is the application of the home market’s laws and rules applicable to investors in China A-shares. Therefore, the Fund’s investments in China A-shares purchased through Stock Connect are generally subject to Chinese securities regulations and listing rules, among other restrictions. While overseas investors currently are exempt from paying capital gains or value added taxes on income and gains from investments in China A-shares purchased through Stock Connect, these tax rules could be changed, which could result in unexpected tax liabilities for the Fund. Stock Connect only operates on days when the Chinese and Hong Kong stock markets are each open for trading and when banks in each market are open on the corresponding settlement days. The Fund may purchase and sell A-shares through Stock Connect only on days when Stock Connect and U.S. markets are open for trading. Therefore, if it is a normal trading day for the Chinese market but Hong Kong and/or U.S. markets are closed, the Fund will not be able to trade any A-shares.

For purposes of raising capital offshore on exchanges outside of China, including on U.S. exchanges, many Chinese-based operating companies are structured as VIEs. In this structure, the Chinese-based operating company is the VIE and establishes a shell company in a foreign jurisdiction, such as the Cayman Islands. The shell company lists on a foreign exchange and enters into contractual arrangements with the VIE. This structure allows Chinese companies in which the government restricts foreign ownership to raise capital from foreign investors. While the shell company has no equity ownership of the VIE, these contractual arrangements permit the shell company to consolidate the VIE’s financial statements with its own for accounting purposes and provide for economic exposure to the performance of the underlying Chinese operating company. Therefore, an investor in the listed shell company, such as the Fund, will have exposure to the Chinese-based operating company only through contractual arrangements and has no ownership in the Chinese-based operating company. Furthermore, because the shell company only has specific rights provided for in these service agreements with the VIE, its abilities to control the activities at the Chinese-based operating company are limited and the operating company may engage in activities that negatively impact investment value.</span></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><span style="background-color: white">While the VIE structure has been widely adopted, it is not formally recognized under Chinese law and therefore there is a risk that the Chinese government could prohibit the existence of such structures or negatively impact the VIE’s contractual arrangements with the listed shell company by making them invalid. If these contracts were found to be unenforceable under Chinese law, investors in the listed shell company, such as the Fund, may suffer significant losses with little or no recourse available. If the Chinese government determines that the agreements establishing the VIE structures do not comply with Chinese law and regulations, including those related to restrictions on foreign ownership, it could subject a Chinese-based issuer to penalties, revocation of business and operating licenses, or forfeiture of ownership interest. In addition, the listed shell company’s control over a VIE may also be jeopardized if a natural person who holds the equity interest in the VIE breaches the terms of the agreement, is subject to legal proceedings or if any physical instruments for authenticating documentation, such as chops and seals, are used without the Chinese-based issuer’s authorization to enter into contractual arrangements in China. Chops and seals, which are carved stamps used to sign documents, represent a legally binding commitment by the company. Moreover, any future regulatory action may prohibit the ability of the shell company to receive the economic benefits of the Chinese-based operating company, which may cause the value of the Fund’s investment in the listed shell company to suffer a significant loss.

The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other ordinary investments, including risk related to the market, imperfect correlation with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The use of derivatives may result in larger losses or smaller gains than directly investing in securities. When the Fund uses derivatives, there may be an imperfect correlation between the value of the underlying asset and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of those amounts initially invested. In addition, the Fund’s investments in derivatives are subject to the following risks:</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <div id="xdx_A85_eoef--RiskTextBlock_hoef--RiskAxis__custom--SwapAgreementsMember_zsPsMHUn7QQb"></div> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%"> <tr style="vertical-align: top"> <td style="width: 24px"> </td> <td style="width: 24px; font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt">●</span></td> <td style="font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><b>Swap Agreements. </b>The use of swap transactions is a highly specialized activity, which involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. Whether the Fund will be successful in using swap agreements to achieve its investment goal depends on the ability of the Adviser to structure such swap agreements in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and to identify counterparties for those swap agreements. Additionally, any financing, borrowing or other costs associated with using swap transactions may also have the effect of lowering the Fund’s return. The swap agreements in which the Fund invests are generally traded in the over-the-counter market, which generally has less transparency than exchange-traded derivatives instruments. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference assets or underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a basket of securities.</span></td></tr> </table> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"> </p> <div id="xdx_A80_eoef--RiskTextBlock_hoef--RiskAxis__custom--ForwardContractsMember_zRuyRt6qcON8"></div> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%"> <tr style="vertical-align: top"> <td style="width: 24px"> </td> <td style="width: 24px; font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt">●</span></td> <td style="font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><b>Forward Contracts. </b>A forward contract is a negotiated agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset, reference instrument, or other financial exposure at a specified price on a specified future date. Forward contracts may be used to obtain or manage exposure to particular securities, markets, sectors, countries, indices, or other investments more efficiently than investing directly in the underlying instruments. Forward contracts are subject to the risk that the value of the contract may not correlate perfectly with the value of the assets, markets, or exposures being hedged or tracked. The use of forward contracts may reduce or eliminate the opportunity for gain if the value of the underlying exposure moves in a direction favorable to the Fund’s position. Because forward contracts are typically privately negotiated and traded in the over-the-counter market, they may be less liquid than exchange-traded instruments and subject the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party to the contract will fail to perform its obligations. Forward contracts also may involve leverage and can result in losses that exceed the amount initially invested. The Fund’s use of forward contracts may increase the volatility of the Fund’s returns and may result in losses if the Sub-Adviser’s investment views or analyses prove incorrect. Unanticipated changes in the value of the underlying reference exposure may result in poorer overall performance for the Fund than if the Fund had not entered into such contracts.</span></td></tr> </table> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"> </p> <p id="xdx_A81_eoef--RiskTextBlock_hoef--RiskAxis__custom--CounterpartyRiskMember_zSf2Drz9n034" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><b>Counterparty Risk.</b> The Fund is subject to counterparty risk by virtue of its investments in derivatives which exposes the Fund to the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund.

Investments in these companies are generally less liquid than investments in securities issued by public companies and may be difficult for the Fund to value. Compared to public companies, private companies may have a more limited management group and limited operating histories with narrower, less established product lines and smaller market shares, which may cause them to be more vulnerable to competitors’ actions, market conditions and consumer sentiment with respect to their products or services, as well as general economic downturns. In addition, private companies may have limited financial resources and may be unable to meet their obligations. The Fund may only have limited access to a private company’s actual financial results and there is no assurance that the information obtained by the Fund is reliable. These companies may not ever issue shares in an initial public offering (“IPO”) and a liquid market for their shares may never develop, which could adversely affect the Fund’s liquidity. Since securities issued by private companies are generally not freely or publicly tradable, the Fund may not have the opportunity to purchase, or the ability to sell, these securities in the amounts, or at the prices, the Fund desires. </p> <p id="xdx_A87_eoef--RiskTextBlock_hoef--RiskAxis__custom--EconomicAndMarketRiskMember_zQOMoXvClIhl" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><b>Economic and Market Risk.</b> Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

This may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was used.
