*Effective 17 February 2023, the Fund was renamed from the Asia ex Japan Dividend Fund to the Asia ex Japan Total Return Equity Fund.

The Fund may, at its discretion, pay dividends out of the capital or effectively out of capital in respect of the distribution shares. Dividends may be distributed out of gross income while all or part of the fees and expenses are paid out of capital, resulting in an increase in distributable income for the payment of dividends and, therefore, the Fund may effectively pay dividend out of capital. Payment of dividends out of capital and/or effectively out of capital represents a return or withdrawal of part of an investor's original investment, or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Any distribution may result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share of the Fund.

Please note that a positive distribution yield does not imply a positive return, and past yields are no guarantee of future yields. There is no guarantee that the Fund will pay or continue to pay distributions.

As of April 1, 2014, distributions for this class of the sub fund will be paid out of gross income which may result in expenses being paid out of capital and thereby limit an investor’s potential to generate total return and income.
