Invest in Asia

IMPORTANT: Investment involves risk, including the loss of principal. Investors should refer to the relevant Prospectus and Key Facts Statement of iShares DAX Index ETF, iShares Nasdaq 100 Index ETF, iShares EURO STOXX 50 Index ETF, iShares FTSE 100 Index ETF, iShares Core Kospi 200 Index ETF and iShares Core MSCI Taiwan Index ETF (singly the “ETF” or collectively the “ETFs”) for details, including the risk factors. 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 its underlying Index.
• Due to the ETF’s concentration in a geographic market or industry sector, the price volatility of the ETF may be greater than that of ETFs tracking more broad-based indices.
• The majority of investments of the ETF are denominated in the currency of the underlying constituents instead of the ETF’s base currency. The ETF’s Net Asset Value (“NAV”) may be affected unfavorably by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the currency of the underlying constituents and the ETF’s base currency or by any change in exchange rate controls.
• All units will receive distributions in the base currency only. In the event that a unitholder has no base currency account, the unitholder may have to bear (i) the fees and charges associated with the conversion of such dividend distributions from the base currency to HKD, RMB or any other currency; and (ii) other bank or financial institutional fees and charges associated with the handling of the distribution payment in currencies other than the base currency. Unitholders are advised to check with their brokers regarding arrangements for distribution.
• Investors may be subject to additional costs or losses associated with foreign currency fluctuations between the base currency and the HKD or RMB trading currency. Furthermore, RMB is currently not freely convertible and is subject to exchange controls and restrictions.
• The ETF may be subject to tracking error risk, which is the risk that its performance may not track that of the underlying index exactly.
• The units of the ETF are traded on the SEHK. The trading price of the units is subject to market forces and may trade at a substantial premium or discount to the ETF’s NAV, which may also increase due to the differences in trading hours between the stock exchange of where the underlying constituents listed (“Stock Exchange”) and the SEHK. As the Stock Exchange may be open when units of the ETF are not priced, the securities’ values in the ETF may change on days when investors cannot trade the units.
• The price of units traded in different counters may deviate significantly. If there is a suspension of the transfer of units between the trading counters and/or any limitation on the level of services provided by brokers and CCASS participants, unitholders may only be able to trade their units in one counter.
• 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 may amount 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 distribution may result in an immediate reduction of the NAV per unit.
• iShares Core Kospi 200 Index ETF’s exposure is concentrated in the South Korean market and a greater portion of its assets may be represented in a single security or group of securities. It may be more susceptible to adverse economic, political, policy, foreign exchange, liquidity, tax, legal or regulatory event affecting the South Korean market. The ETF may also be subject to risks associated with potential intervention on foreign exchange rates, a more volatile, concentrated or illiquid securities market, and the restrictions imposed on foreign investors.
• iShares Core MSCI Taiwan Index ETF’s exposure is concentrated in the Taiwanese market and a greater portion of its assets may be represented in a single security or group of securities. It may be more susceptible to adverse economic, political, foreign exchange, liquidity, tax, legal or regulatory event affecting the Taiwanese market. The ETF may also subject to risks associated with the social factors, governmental changes, substantial government intervention, policies regarding inward investment and the restrictions on currency repatriation in Taiwan. Commodity market fluctuations and appreciation of the New Taiwan Dollar (“TWD”) may also affect the ETF’s Net Asset Value (“NAV”).
