The Fund invests primarily in equities and equity-related securities in any company where the majority of earnings of issuers or holding companies are derived from activities related to any commodities which are grown or raised, commonly known as agricultural or soft commodities.
The Fund is subject to risks, such as investment, equities and equity related instruments, counterparty, liquidity, currency risks and the risks of investing in small and mid-capitalisation companies.
The Fund’s investment may be concentrated in the agricultural sector or a single country/region and the value of the Fund may be more volatile. Agricultural and soft commodities markets may be adversely affected by natural events and human errors. Investing in emerging markets may involve increased risks, including liquidity, currency/currency control, political and economic uncertainties, legal and taxation, settlement, custody and volatility risks.
The Manager integrates environmental, social and governance (ESG) information into the investment process, which may affect the Fund’s investment performance and, as such, may perform differently compared to similar collective investment schemes.
The Fund may invest in derivatives for investment or efficient portfolio management purposes which may involve counterparty/credit, liquidity, valuation, volatility and over-the-counter transaction risks. Exposure to derivatives may lead to a high risk of significant loss by the Fund.
Investors may suffer substantial loss of their investments in the Fund.
