Dividend disclaimers
# Dividends are not guaranteed and may be paid out of capital. The Fund(s) aim(s) to provide dividend on a monthly, half-yearly, quarterly basis depending on the respective share class.
^ Annualised Dividend Yield (%) = (Dividend per Share/ ex Dividend date NAV per unit x Frequency) x 100
The annualised dividend yield is calculated based on the latest dividend distribution. For Frequency, if distribution frequency is monthly = 12, quarterly = 4, semi annual = 2.
For newly launched share class(es), the first annualized dividend yield is calculated on a pro-rata basis, taking into account the number of days since inception. (Dividend per Share/ ex Dividend date NAV per unit x total number of days in a year / number of days since inception) x 100
Annualized dividend yield is calculated based on the latest dividend distribution, and may be higher or lower than the actual annual dividend yield. A positive distribution yield does not imply a positive return. Dividend is not guaranteed. Historical yield is not an indicator of future dividend payout.
Dividend source: First Sentier Group.
Warning: Investors should not make any investment decision solely based on information contained in the table above. You should read the relevant offering document (including the key facts statement) of the fund for further details including the risk factors.
“Net Distributable Income” generally means the investment income (e.g. dividend income) net of fees and expenses attributable to the relevant share class and may also include net realised gains (if any) based on unaudited financial accounts. Net Distributable Income which has not been paid as dividends can be carried forward within the same financial year".
Payment of dividends out of capital, or payment of fees and expenses out of capital to increase distributable income, 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 distribution involving payment of dividends effectively out of the Fund’s capital may result in an immediate decrease of the Net Asset Value per share.
