iShares Short Duration China Policy Bank Bond ETF

IMPORTANT:Investment involves risk, including the loss of principal. Investors should refer to the Prospectus and Key Facts Statement of the iShares Short Duration China Policy Bank Bond ETF (the “ETF”) for details, including the risk factors. If in any doubt, you should consult your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other financial adviser for independent financial advice.  Investors should not base investment decisions on this marketing material alone. Investors should note:
• The ETF aims to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, closely correspond to the performance of the FTSE Chinese Policy Bank Bond 6 Months - 3 Years Index (“the Underlying Index”).
• The ETF is subject to general market risk and may fall in value and there is no guarantee of the repayment of principal. There is no assurance that the ETF will achieve its investment objective. The Underlying Index is a new index and the ETF may be riskier than other exchange traded funds tracking more established indices with longer operating history.
• Investments in the PRC may involve increased risks and special considerations not typically associated with investment in more developed markets, such as liquidity risks, currency risks/control, political and economic uncertainties, legal and taxation risks, settlement risks, custody risk and the likelihood of a high degree of volatility. The ETF’s exposure is concentrated in the PRC and in bonds of a few issuers, and may be more volatile than funds adopting a more diversified strategy. 
• Investing in the PRC inter-bank bond market via Bond Connect and/or Foreign Access Regime is subject to regulatory risks and various risks such as volatility risk, liquidity risk, settlement and counterparty risk as well as other risk factors typically applicable to debt securities such as issuer’s credit/ default risk, interest rate risk, downgrading risk, policy bank risk, valuation risk, credit rating risk. The relevant rules and regulations are subject to change which may have potential retrospective effect. If a counterparty defaults in delivering securities, the trade may be cancelled which may adversely affect the value of the ETF.
• The ETF is subject to tracking error risk, which is the risk that its performance may not track that of the Underlying Index exactly.
• The ETF is subject to risks and uncertainties associated with the current PRC tax laws, regulations and practice in respect investments in the PRC via Bond Connect or Foreign Access Regime. Any increased tax liabilities on the ETF may adversely affect its value.
• The ETF’s base currency is in RMB but has units traded in USD or HKD (in addition to RMB). Investors may be subject to additional costs or losses associated with foreign currency fluctuations between the base currency and the USD or HKD trading currency when trading units in the secondary market.
• If there is a suspension of the inter-counter transfer of units between the counters and/or any limitation on the level of services provided by brokers and CCASS participants, Unitholders will only be able to trade their units in one counter. The market price of units traded in each counter may deviate significantly.
• Termination of the market making arrangement may lead to risk of liquidity in the market for the units being adversely affected if there is no or only one market maker for the units on any counter. The units of the ETF are traded on the SEHK. The trading price of the units is subject to market factors and may trade at a substantial premium or discount to the ETF’s NAV.
• The Manager may at its discretion pay distributions out of capital, or effectively out of capital, of the ETF. Payment of distributions out of capital or effectively out of capital amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor’s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Any such distributions may result in an immediate reduction of the NAV per unit.

Overview

Estimated NAV per unit is indicative and for reference purposes only. It is calculated, disseminated on a delayed basis and displayed on this website by ICE Data Services. The estimated NAV per unit for each trading currency other than the Base Currency is calculated using the estimated Net Asset Value per Unit in the Base Currency multiplied by the real time exchange rate provided by ICE Data Services for each such trading currency. The near real time estimated NAV per unit is updated at 15-second intervals during trading hours of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong.

Business Involvement

Business Involvement

Business Involvement metrics can help investors gain a more comprehensive view of specific activities in which a fund may be exposed through its investments.


Business Involvement metrics are not indicative of a fund’s investment objective, and, unless otherwise stated in fund documentation and included within a fund’s investment objective, do not change a fund’s investment objective or constrain the fund’s investable universe, and there is no indication that an ESG or Impact focused investment strategy or exclusionary screens will be adopted by a fund. For more information regarding a fund's investment strategy, please see the fund's prospectus.

Business Involvement metrics are calculated by BlackRock using data from MSCI ESG Research which provides a profile of each company’s specific business involvement. BlackRock leverages this data to provide a summed up view across holdings and translates it to a fund's market value exposure to the listed Business Involvement areas above.


Business Involvement metrics are designed only to identify companies where MSCI has conducted research and identified as having involvement in the covered activity. As a result, it is possible there is additional involvement in these covered activities where MSCI does not have coverage. This information should not be used to produce comprehensive lists of companies without involvement. Business Involvement metrics are only displayed if at least 1% of the fund’s gross weight includes securities covered by MSCI ESG Research.
