IMPORTANT:
• The Fund may invest in debt securities that are subject to actual or perceived ratings downgrade. The Fund may invest in assets denominated in various currencies. Changes in exchange rates and currency controls may affect the value of the Fund's assets. The Fund invests in certain emerging markets and may be subject to political, tax, economic, social and foreign exchange risks. An increase in interest rates may adversely affect the value of the bonds held by the Fund. The Fund invests in bonds issued or guaranteed by governments or authorities, which may involve political, economic, default or other risks.
• The Fund is subject to foreign investments restrictions risk, non-Investment grade and unrated bond risks, smaller companies’ volatility and liquidity risks, securities lending counterparty risk, currency conversion risk including Renminbi denominated Classes and contingent convertible bonds risk.
•  Class 9 Shares pay dividends gross of expenses and/or from capital at the Directors’ discretion. Dividend payment on an annual basis must be at least equal to the Dividend Threshold Amount, and in the event of a shortfall, a material portion of any dividend payment may be made out of capital. The Dividend Threshold Amount may be reduced during the year and it is not an alternative to a savings account or fixed-interest paying investment. Class 10 Shares and Class 11 Shares pay dividends gross of expenses and/or from capital at the Directors’ discretion. Paying dividends gross of expenses may result in more income being available for distribution; however these shares may effectively pay dividends from capital – may amount to a partial return or withdrawal of an investor’s original investment or capital gains. All declared dividends result in an immediate reduction in the NAV price of the share class on the ex-dividend date. 
• The Fund may use derivatives for hedging and for investment purposes. However, usage for investment purposes will not be extensive. The Fund may suffer losses from its derivatives usage.
• The value of the Fund can be volatile and can go down substantially within a short period of time. It is possible that a certain amount of your investment could be lost.
• Investors should not make investment decisions based on this document alone. Investors should refer to the Prospectus and Key Facts Statement for details including risk factors.

Overview

Investment Objective

The Global Allocation Fund seeks to maximise total return. The Fund invests globally in equity, debt and short term securities, of both corporate and governmental issuers, with no prescribed limits. In normal market conditions the Fund will invest at least 70% of its total assets in the securities of corporate and governmental issuers. The Fund generally will seek to invest in securities that are, in the opinion of the Investment Adviser, undervalued. The Fund may also invest in the equity securities of small and emerging growth companies. The Fund may also invest a portion of its debt portfolio in high yield fixed income transferable securities. Currency exposure is flexibly managed.

Loading

All currency hedged share classes of this fund use derivatives to hedge currency risk. The use of derivatives for a share class could pose a potential risk of contagion (also known as spill-over) to other share classes in the fund. The fund’s management company will ensure appropriate procedures are in place to minimise contagion risk to other share class. Using the drop down box directly below the name of the fund, you can view a list of all share classes in the fund – currency hedged share classes are indicated by the word “Hedged” in the name of the share class. In addition, a full list of all currency hedged share classes is available on request from the fund’s management company
