For Non-Professional Investors

Contents

Please pay particular attention to the risk of investment in China and other markets in the Asian region and in companies
with medium or small capitalization. The value of the funds can be extremely volatile and could go down substantially
within a short period of time. It is possible that the entire value of your investment could be lost.
Value Partners High-Dividend Stocks Fund and Value Partners Greater China High Yield Income Fund may invest in
higher-yielding debt and equity securities that are below investment grade; additionally, Value Partners Greater China High
Yield Income Fund may invest in debt securities issued by special purpose vehicles. Such investments can involve material
risks, e.g. counterparty risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and default risk, and may expose the Fund to significant losses.
Investors should note that there is no guarantee that the underlying securities in Value Partners High-Dividend Stocks Fund
and Value Partners Greater China High Yield Income Fund will pay out dividends. Therefore, there is no guarantee that
those funds investment strategies will succeed. There is also no guarantee of dividend or distribution payments during the
period an investor holds units in such funds, and a positive dividend yield does not represent/imply positive return.
Value Partners China A-Share Select Fund intends to invest predominantly in China A Shares directly, via its Managers
RQFII quota. Investors will be subject to certain risks including repatriation risk, custodial risk, regulatory risk and risks
associated with the Managers RQFII status. In addition, the RQFII policy and rules are relatively new and there may be
uncertainty in implementation and such policy and rules are subject to change. All these may adversely impact the fund. The
fund and its primary investments are denominated in RMB. RMB is currently not a freely convertible currency and is
subject to foreign exchange control policies, as well as repatriation restrictions imposed by the PRC government. Investors
whose base currencies of investments are not in RMB should take into account the potential risk of loss arising from
fluctuations in value between such currencies and the RMB.
The funds may also invest in derivatives which can involve material risks, e.g. counterparty default risk, insolvency or
liquidity risk, and may expose the funds to significant losses.
You should not make investment decision on the basis of this material alone. Please read the explanatory memorandum for
details and risk factors.

Performance data is net of all fees. 3. Index refers to Hang Seng Price Return Index up to 31 Dec 2004, thereafter it is the Hang Seng Total Return Index. Hang Seng Total Return Index
includes dividend reinvestment whereas Hang Seng Price Return Index does not take into account reinvestment of dividends. 4. Calculated based on the since inception return of C Untis.
5. The fund may invest in financial derivative instruments (FDI) for hedging purposes. In adverse situations, the funds use of FDI may become ineffective in hedging and the fund may suffer
significant losses. Each hedged share class will hedge the funds base currency back to its currency of denomination on a best efforts basis. However, the volatility of the hedged classes
measured in the funds base currency may be higher than that of the equivalent class denominated in the funds base currency. Risks associated with FDI include counterparty risk, credit
risk and liquidity risk. Such exposure may lead to a high risk of capital loss. The AUD/CAD/NZD Hedged Classes are not recommended for investors whose base currency of investment is
not in the aforesaid currencies. 6. Investors should note that the base currency of C Units is in USD. The HKD is for reference only and should not be used for subscription or redemption
purpose. Conversion to the base currency of C Units will normally take place at the prevailing rate (as determined by the Funds Trustee or Custodian) on the corresponding fund dealing
day. Investor should be aware of possible risks resulting from fluctuations of exchange rates against USD. 7. Classification is based on Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS).

Value Partners Classic Fund


Commentary / Fourth Quarter 2014 (including Yearend 2014 Summary)

Value Partners Classic Fund (the Fund) primarily invests in stock markets of the Asia-Pacific region,
with a Greater China focus.
Please pay particular attention to the risk of investment in China and other markets in the Asian region
and in companies with medium or small capitalization. The value of the Fund can be extremely volatile
and could go down substantially within a short period of time. It is possible that the entire value of your
investment could be lost.
The Fund may also invest in derivatives which can involve material risks, e.g. counterparty default
risk, insolvency or liquidity risk, and may expose the Fund to significant losses.
You should not make investment decisions on the basis of this material alone. Please read the
explanatory memorandum for details and risk factors.

Value Partners Classic Fund (the Fund) finished 2014 on a high after a relatively volatile year. Chinese
equities drifted lower in the first half of the year, only to rally towards the end as the Shanghai-Hong Kong
Stock Connect and a loosening monetary stance helped drive equity markets higher. The Fund delivered a
positive return of 13.5% for the year. For reference, the Hang Seng Index gained 5.5% for the year while the
MSCI China Index rose 8.0%.
China reforms and supportive macros
The China story continues to remain compelling as we are only in the early stage of reform programs
announced in 2013. While investors are still wrestling with the reality that Chinas growth continues to slow,
we think that this could be a positive factor in delaying the recognition of reform dividends. In 2014, China
tackled some of the more difficult aspects on its reform agenda, such as raising SOE (state-owned enterprise)
profitability and efficiency. SOE reform measures are expected to continue, notably in the areas of asset
divestment, industry consolidation, mixed ownership and equity incentive schemes. Furthermore, the
Communist Party had its recent Fourth Plenum focusing on rule of law for the first time. The blueprint
improves judicial procedures and the separation of judicial and administrative functions. These changes will
play a significant role in Chinas long-term economic growth and political stability, benefiting those who are
doing business in China. These types of reforms are not easy to execute and demonstrate the significant
political clout and determination of the current administration.
From a macro perspective, a stronger US dollar environment and lower commodity prices will aid to
maintain low inflation in China and leave room for further interest rate cuts. A more accommodative
monetary policy environment is suitable in a time of significant reform. This will help minimize financial
market shocks as the rapid pace of reforms may expose its weakest links. We expect the Chinese
government to continue providing support to domestic growth by continuing infrastructure projects and
housing stimulus plans to maintain economic growth rate at around 7% to 7.5%.
Performance driven by A shares and stock selection in 2014
From a portfolio strategy perspective, the Fund has remained fully invested throughout much of the year,
underpinning our positive view on equity markets. We have further engaged in our high conviction ideas and
remained aggressive in employing our active strategy. In 2014, our significant additions in A shares and
stock selection were the key performance drivers of the Fund.

At the beginning of 2014, our portfolio started with an exposure of approximately 10% in Chinese A shares.
With the anticipated launch of the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and low market valuations, we
recognized potentials for strong A-share performance. With the support from our Shanghai research team
since 2009, we significantly increased the Funds A-share exposure to 27%1 as of the end of October ahead
of the official launch of the Stock Connect. We favored stocks that are dually listed in the Shanghai and
Hong Kong stock exchanges, as well as selected companies that are cheaper in the A-share market. We also
favored high-yielding stocks and unique opportunities available in the A-share market. Despite the
lukewarm take-up of the Stock Connect, we were able to take advantage of the broader A-share rally.
The CSI 300 Index has gained 52.1% (in US$ terms) over the year, particularly spurred by interest rate cuts
and recovering retail participation in the domestic stockmarket in the final month.
From a stock selection perspective, our positions in China healthcare, properties and energy have particularly
yielded a positive impact on the portfolio. Going forward, we will continue to find attractive value stocks,
especially in old economy sectors including banking, insurance and property. Healthcare, as one of the
few new economy sectors, will however remain one of our favorites.
Investment case study Lijun International Pharmaceutical
Lijun International Pharmaceutical (Lijun) is a healthcare company that has been one of our top holdings
and key performance contributors. It is one of the top three largest makers of infusion products in China.
Intravenous infusion solutions are a critical component of Chinas developing healthcare system, and Lijun
has experienced stable double-digit growth in the past five years. While Lijuns competitors focus on the
lower end of the market, Lijun pioneers in producing non-PVC soft bag injections with a market share of
over 30%. The advantages of non-PVC soft bag injections over traditional glass-based injection bottles
include lower weight for transportation and lower risk of breakage. Therefore, we expect non-PVC soft bags
to grow faster than the overall market. In addition, Lijun operates the largest single-factory production
facility for large-volume infusion products, giving it cost advantage with economies of scale. Lijuns strong
branding and low-cost production also help the company to generate a gross margin of over 50% in the first
half of 2014. On the back of an experienced management team and the capacity for further expansion, we
are hopeful that Lijun will continue to deliver strong earnings growth. While the overall healthcare sector
has performed strongly in the past two years, Lijun is currently trading at 12.7 times of 2015 forward
price-to-earnings ratio, which is reasonable given its business prospects.
Amidst a volatile environment, we believe this is a good time for Value Partners to thrive further as our
region is refocusing on stock picking and fundamental value. While we expect markets to remain somewhat
volatile, we are optimistic about the outlook for Chinese equities. We are also well-positioned to take
advantage of market fluctuations.
Corporate update
Value Partners has continued to grow from strength to strength in 2014. Our assets under management
(AUM) have grown by more than 20% in 2014 to over US$12.6 billion. Our performance also continued
to win us industry accolades. Among our numerous awards in 2014 include Asian Fund House of the Year
and Asset Management Company of the Year (Hong Kong) 2. In addition, we are pleased to report that
Value Partners Group has won the Enterprise Award in the DHL/SCMP Hong Kong Business Awards 2014,
a distinguished title given to entrepreneurs and companies that have made important contributions to
Hong Kong and the neighboring Pearl River Delta. This is the second time that we were given this renowned
title after receiving it in 2005, from a different judging panel. Meanwhile, in the Benchmark Fund of the
Year Awards 2014, we were named the Outstanding Achiever in the China Equity and High Yield Fixed
Income categories.

Value Partners leading position in Asian fund management is also reflected in the industry leadership role
played by our Chairman and Co-Chief Investment Officer, Dato Cheah Cheng Hye. In 2014, Dato Cheah
was invited to speak at many industry events in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore, organized by
professional and public organizations, including the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC);
the CFA Institute; The Hong Kong Society of Financial Analysts; and Business China Singapore, a
government-supported group seeking to strengthen business ties between Singapore and China. Dato Cheah
spoke mainly on investing and corporate governance. Also, from early 2014, Dato Cheah delivered a speech
at various gatherings entitled Chinese stocks: From Ugly Duckling to Beautiful Princess, predicting a
renaissance for the Chinese equity market, arising from President Xi Jinpings program emphasizing
deregulation, market-opening, a growing role for private enterprise and much improved corporate
governance. We are beginning to see the renaissance in action.
In closing this report, wed like to convey our heartfelt thanks to our investors for their continued support and
the confidence they have placed in us. The recovery of value stocks showed that our value discipline has
once again borne fruit as we stay true to our convictions. We look forward to achieving new highs and
bringing another prosperous year for investors.

China Vanke is Chinas largest developer of residential properties in terms of contracted sales.
It has over 300 projects that are located in over 60 cities in mainland China. We see China
Vankes land bank as one of the most diversified among its peers, which may help it deliver
faster sales growth. In 2014, its contracted sales rose 26% despite a decline in the overall
Chinese property market, which further solidifies its leading position in the industry. Being the
largest homebuilder in China, it may benefit from the more accommodative policy environment
in China since mid-2014, and the interest rate cuts in November 2014 has further helped
reviving homebuyers confidence.

China Taiping Insurance (CTI) engages in the underwriting of direct life insurance business,
property and casualty insurance business, and reinsurance business. The company has seen
peer-beating growth in life NBV (new business value) in 2014 on the back of specific
advantages in terms of its large scale agent recruitment. With a focus on life insurance, it is
also well positioned to benefit from measures by the Chinese government to let the insurance
industry play a bigger role in the social security network in the medium to long term.

China Life Insurance (China Life), together with its subsidiaries, is the largest integrated
insurer in China. It has the most extensive distribution and service network among all insurance
companies in China, covering life insurance, property & casualty insurance, pension plans
(corporate annuity), asset management and industrial investment. Following its management's
efforts to scale down bancassurance and focus on growing agency over the past few years,
China Life is finally able to execute on its much needed changes and restore its growth profile.
Meanwhile, it is expected to benefit from better investment returns and improving business
performance amidst rate cut cycles.

Listed in Hong Kong in December 2014, CGN Power is the leading nuclear power producer in
China with the biggest total installed capacity as of June 2014. Its nuclear power stations are
strategically located in economically developed regions in China that have a strong demand for
electricity. Within Chinas energy spectrum, nuclear power is unique in that it has the lowest
earnings volatility. As the Chinese government supports clean energy development, CGN Power
is well positioned to benefit from the potential growth of the nuclear power industry in the
coming years.

Luye Pharma Group (Luye Pharma) is a leading pharmaceutical company which focuses on
the manufacturing and selling of pharmaceutical products in three of the fastest growing
therapeutic areas in China including oncology, cardiovascular system, and alimentary tract and
metabolism. In the first half of 2014, the groups nationwide distribution network enabled it to
sell its products to over 8,000 hospitals in the PRC. Given its strong product pipeline, proven
R&D capabilities and sales and marketing networks, Luye is well positioned to continue gaining
market share despite an increasingly competitive market environment.

Industrial & Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) is the largest commercial bank in China in
terms of assets and deposits. An extensive network of over 17,000 branches and a huge
customer base gives it both scale and funding advantages. ICBC has a liquid balance sheet, low
exposure to interbank, excess reserves and industry high capital adequacy.

Chongqing Changan Automobile (Changan) is one of the largest automakers in China. It


owns a joint venture with Ford. The joint venture Changan Ford has contributed to the majority
of the companys profits and launched in 2013 two locally manufactured sports utility vehicles
(SUV) models, aiming to participate in the fastest-growing passenger vehicle segment. Ford is
determined to ramp up production capacity to double their current production volume by 2015
and also expects to bring more new models to China and gain market share. In 2014, the
company delivered a sales volume growth of about 20%, continuing to shine among peers.

Tasly Pharmaceutical (Tasly) is a leading traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) developer and
distributor with a focus on the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Given
the high potential of essential drug tendering ramp-up in most provinces in 2015 in China, Tasly
will likely continue to enjoy strong sales growth going forward. The company has a strong
potential for product internationalization to drive future growth. Its Compound Danshen
Dripping Pills is undergoing a Phase III clinical trial in the US and could potentially become the
first TCM product to enter the US market as a prescription drug.

Ping An Insurance (Ping An) is a leading provider of insurance service in China. It is one of
the first Chinese non-state-owned financial conglomerates that provide insurance (both life and
non-life), banking, securities, trust and asset management services to customers in the country.
In the current tough operating environment, Ping An is well-positioned amongst peers given its
superior agency force and multi-product platform.

PetroChina is the largest integrated oil company in Asia by market capitalization. It has crude
reserves of nearly 11 billion barrels and gas reserves of over 69,000 billion cubic feet. Its
downstream assets consist of refining, and a service-station marketing network of over 20,000
stations. PetroChina is expected to benefit from growth in gas usage as China targets to diversify
their energy reliance from coal. The SOE reform undergoing will also push the company to
adopt measures for better cost control and returns for investors.

1. 2014 Morningstar, Inc. All Rights Reserved (for Class A1). 2. Source: HSBC Institutional Trust Services (Asia) Limited and Bloomberg, in USD, NAV to NAV, with dividend reinvested.
Performance data is net of all fees. 3. The Manager currently intends to make monthly dividend distribution in respect of the A2 MDis Classes; actual dividend payout will be subject to the Managers
discretion. Distribution may be paid from capital of the fund. Investors should note that where the payment of distributions are paid out of capital, this represents and amounts to a return or
withdrawal of part of the amount that have been originally invested or capital gains attributable to that and may result in an immediate decrease in the value of units. For A1 Class units, Manager will
review dividend distribution at its discretion once a year (last dividend payout date: 21 Nov 2005). Please refer to the explanatory memorandum for more details. 4. The fund may invest in financial
derivative instruments (FDI) for hedging purposes. In adverse situations, the funds use of FDI may become ineffective in hedging and the fund may suffer significant losses. Each hedged share
class will hedge the funds base currency back to its currency of denomination on a best efforts basis. However, the volatility of the hedged classes measured in the funds base currency may be
higher than that of the equivalent class denominated in the funds base currency. Risks associated with FDI include counterparty risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Such exposure may lead to a high
risk of capital loss. The AUD/CAD/NZD Hedged Classes are not recommended for investors whose base currency of investment is not in the aforesaid currencies. 5. The receiving bank may charge
a fee for incoming payments. Such fees will reduce the actual amount of dividends received by the investor. 6. Annualized yield of Class A2 MDis is calculated as follows: (dividend amount/NAV
as of ex-dividend date) x 12. Investors should note that yield figures are estimated and for reference only and do not represent the performance of the fund, and that there is no guarantee as to the
actual frequency and/or amount of dividend payments. 7. Investors should note that the base currency of the fund is in USD. The HKD equivalent NAV per unit is for reference only and should not
be used for subscription or redemption purpose. Conversion to the base currency of the fund will normally take place at the prevailing rate (as determined by the funds Trustee or Custodian) on the
corresponding fund dealing day. Investors should be aware of possible risks resulting from fluctuations of exchange rates against USD. 8. Classification is based on Global Industry Classification
Standard (GICS). 9. Exposure refers to net exposure (long exposure minus short exposure). Due to rounding, percentages shown may not add up to 100%. 10. Others include 0.5% cash for
collaterals and margins. 11. Cash refers to net cash on hand excluding cash for collaterals and margins. 12. The profile is based on market consensus forecast as derived from S&P Capital IQ and
Bloomberg. Note that the managers internal estimates may differ significantly from S&P Capital IQ and Bloomberg estimates. Investors should note that all yield figures are for reference only and
do not represent the actual performance of the fund or the dividend yield received by investors, nor does a positive yield imply a positive return. Dividend yield is calculated based on the equity
portion of the fund, whereas Yield to maturity/put is calculated based on the debt portion of the fund by taking the average of yields of individual holdings (being the higher of the yield to maturity
and yield to put of each bond/convertible bond) after excluding event-driven investment with extremely high yield. 13. Performance fee will only be charged if the NAV at the end of the financial year
or upon realization of units exceeds the high watermark, which is the all-time year-end high of the funds NAV. If in any one year, the fund suffers a loss, no performance fee can be charged in
subsequent years until the loss is recovered fully (the high-on-high principle). 14. Based on data as of year-end 2013. 15. The 2014 Morningstar award was based on data of eligible funds in their
respective Morningstar category up to 31 Dec 2013. 16. Based on data as of 30 Sep 2013.
Investors should note investment involves risk. The price of units may go down as well as up and past performance is not indicative of future results. Investors should read the explanatory
memorandum for details and risk factors in particular those associated with investment in emerging markets. Information in this report has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable but
Value Partners Limited does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by third parties. This report has not been reviewed by the Securities and Futures Commission.

The CIES was suspended by the Hong Kong Government with effect from 15 January 2015 until further notice.
1. 2014 Morningstar, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 2. Unless otherwise specified, fund performance shown in this document refers to the returns on Non-Redeemable Class
N shares, which was launched on 8 Apr 2002. Source: HSBC Institutional Trust Services (Asia) Limited and Bloomberg, in HKD, NAV to NAV, with dividends reinvested.
Non-Redeemable Class N shares of the fund are closed for subscription from 26 Mar 2007; existing and new investors may subscribe for/redeem Class A or A2 QDis shares.
3. Index refers to Hang Seng Price Return Index up to 31 Dec 2004, thereafter it is the Hang Seng Total Return Index. Hang Seng Total Return Index includes dividend
reinvestment whereas Hang Seng Price Return Index does not take into account reinvestment of dividends. 4. The Manager currently intends to make quarterly dividend
distribution in respect of the A2 QDis Class; actual dividend payout will be subject to the Managers discretion. 5. The receiving bank may charge a fee for incoming payments.
Such fees will reduce the actual amount of dividends received by the investor. 6. Annualized yield of Class A2 QDis is calculated as follows: (dividend amount/NAV as of
ex-dividend date) x 4. Investors should note that yield figures are estimated and for reference only and do not represent the performance of the fund, and that there is no
guarantee as to the actual frequency and/or amount of dividend payments. 7. The fund may invest in financial derivative instruments (FDI) for hedging purposes. In adverse
situations, the funds use of FDI may become ineffective in hedging and the fund may suffer significant losses. Each hedged share class will hedge the funds base currency
back to its currency of denomination on a best efforts basis. However, the volatility of the hedged classes measured in the funds base currency may be higher than that of the
equivalent class denominated in the funds base currency. Risks associated with FDI include counterparty risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Such exposure may lead to a high risk
of capital loss. The AUD/CAD/NZD Hedged Classes are not recommended for investors whose base currency of investment is not in the aforesaid currencies. 8. Classification
is based on Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS). 9. Exposure refers to net exposure (long exposure minus short exposure). Due to rounding, percentages shown
may not add up to 100%. 10. Cash refers to net cash on hand excluding cash for collaterals and margins. 11. The profile is based on market consensus forecast as derived
from S&P Capital IQ and Bloomberg. Note that the managers internal estimates may differ significantly from S&P Capital IQ and Bloomberg estimates. 12. Investors should
note that the base currency of the fund is in HKD. Conversion to the base currency of the fund will normally take place at the prevailing rate (as determined by the funds Trustee
or Custodian) on the corresponding fund dealing day. Investors should be aware of possible risks resulting from fluctuations of exchange rates against USD/AUD/CAD/NZD.
13. Performance fee will only be charged if the NAV at the end of the financial year or upon realization of units exceeds the high watermark, which is the all-time year-end
high of the funds NAV. If in any one year, the fund suffers a loss, no performance fee can be charged in subsequent years until the loss is recovered fully (the high-on-high

Fund size:
Please pay attention to the risks associated with the Fund, particularly the risk of investment in China and other markets in
the Asian region and in companies with medium or small capitalization. The value of the Fund can be extremely volatile and
could go down substantially within a short period of time. It is possible that the entire value of your investment could be lost.
Investors should note that there is no guarantee that the underlying securities in the Fund will pay out dividends. Therefore, there
is no guarantee that the Funds investment strategies will succeed. There is also no guarantee of dividend or distribution payments
during the period an investor holds units in the Fund, and a positive dividend yield does not represent/imply positive return.
The Fund may invest in debt securities that are below investment grade and/or issued by special purpose vehicles and may
involve greater risks, including credit risk, issuer-specific risk or counterparty risk. The Fund may also invest in derivatives
and structured products which can involve material risks, e.g. counterparty default risk or insolvency, and may expose the
Fund to significant losses.
You should not make investment decision on the basis of this marketing material alone. Please read the Explanatory
Memorandum for details and risk factors.

Investment objective
To provide capital appreciation to investors through primarily
investing in Greater China debt securities including but not
limited to high yield, convertible, and mainland Chinese
offshore bonds.

Commentary
Portfolio Review:
December has historically been an extremely quiet month with
very limited liquidity in the market. This year is of no exception, but
the negative impact on prices as a result of market illiquidity was
exacerbated by the continuously weak oil prices that are yet to find
a bottom and a few negative headlines in the Asian credit market.
The Asian credit market posted a negative month in December, with
high-yielding bonds underperformed. During the month, the portfolio
was little changed.
Outlook:
In terms of valuation, we see values are more abundant in Chinas
high-yield space (especially property) than other Asian high-yield
credits. While occasional market disruptions as a result of temporary
negative headlines may be expected, those times may present
opportunities for acquiring good credits at attractive prices.

3. Exposure refers to net exposure (long exposure minus short exposure). Due to rounding, percentages shown may not add up to 100%. 4. Cash refers to net cash on hand
excluding cash for collaterals and margins. 5. Investors should note that Yield to Maturity is for reference only and does not represent the actual performance of the Fund or
the dividend yield received by investors, nor does a positive yield imply a positive return. 6. Including bonds whose issuers do not seek credit ratings (Convertible Bonds 9.4%;
Dim Sum Bonds 6.0%; Greater China Bonds 5.3%; Singapore Bonds 1.1%; Philippines Bonds 1.1%). 7. The manager intends to declare and pay monthly dividends equal to
all or substantially all of the net income attributable to each of the Distribution Classes. However, there is neither a guarantee that such dividends will be made nor will there
be a target level of dividend payout. No dividends will be paid with respect to the Accumulation Classes. Distribution may be paid from capital of the fund. Investors should
note that where the payment of distributions are paid out of capital, this represents and amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of the amount that have been originally
invested or capital gains attributable to that and may result in an immediate decrease in the value of units. Please refer to the Explanatory Memorandum for further details
including the distribution policy. 8. The fund may invest in financial derivative instruments (FDI) for hedging purposes. In adverse situations, the funds use of FDI may
become ineffective in hedging and the fund may suffer significant losses. Each hedged share class will hedge the funds base currency back to its currency of denomination
on a best efforts basis. However, the volatility of the hedged classes measured in the funds base currency may be higher than that of the equivalent class denominated in the
funds base currency. Risks associated with FDI include counterparty risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Such exposure may lead to a high risk of capital loss. The AUD/CAD/
NZD/SGD Hedged Classes are not recommended for investors whose base currency of investment is not in the aforesaid currencies. 9. Annualized yield of Class MDis is
calculated as follows: (dividend amount/NAV as of ex-dividend date) x 12. Investors should note that yield figures are estimated and for reference only and do not represent
the performance of the fund, and that there is no guarantee as to the actual frequency and/or amount of dividend payments.

Value Partners China A-Share Select Fund

NAV per unit : Class A RMB (CNH) RMB11.81


RMB355.72 million
Fund size :
Value Partners China A-Share Select Fund (the fund) invests primarily in RMB-denominated equities.
Please pay particular attention to the risk of investment in China and in companies with medium or small capitalization. The value of the
fund can be extremely volatile and could go down substantially within a short period of time. It is possible that the entire value of your
investment could be lost.
The fund is also subject to concentration risk as a result of investing only in a single geographical region. Adverse developments in such
regions may affect the value of the underlying securities in which the fund invests.
The fund intends to invest predominantly in China A Shares directly, via its Managers RQFII quota. Investors will be subject to certain
risks including repatriation risk, custodial risk, regulatory risk and risks associated with the Managers RQFII status. In addition, the RQFII
policy and rules are relatively new and there may be uncertainty in implementation and such policy and rules are subject to change. All
these may adversely impact the fund.
The fund and its primary investments are denominated in RMB. RMB is currently not a freely convertible currency and is subject to
foreign exchange control policies, as well as repatriation restrictions imposed by the PRC government. Investors whose base currencies
of investments are not in RMB should take into account the potential risk of loss arising from fluctuations in value between such
currencies and the RMB.
The fund may invest in debt securities including those that are below investment grade/unrated, and may involve greater risks, including
credit risk, issuer-specific risk, counterparty risk and sovereign debt risk. The fund may also invest in derivatives which can involve
material risks, e.g. counterparty default risk, insolvency or liquidity risk. All these may expose the fund to significant losses.
You should not make investment decision on the basis of this material alone. Please read the explanatory memorandum for details and
risk factors.
