Principal Hong Kong Bond Fund - R6 Class Units

Important Notes

  • Principal Hong Kong Bond Fund (“Sub-Fund”) will invest primarily in Hong Kong dollar debt securities including government bonds, corporate bonds, floating rate notes, bills, commercial papers and certificates of deposit. It may also invest in assets denominated in other currencies. The Sub-Fund is therefore subject to interest rate risk, credit rick, currency risk, downgrading risk and liquidity risk.
  • For R6 Class Units of the Sub-Fund, dividend is not guaranteed. The manager may at its discretion pay dividend effectively out of the capital attributable to the R6 Class Units of the Sub-Fund (i.e. making the distribution from gross income while charging all or part of the fees and expenses attributable to the R6 Class Units to the capital out of such Units of the Sub-Fund), resulting in an increase in distributable income for the payment of dividend by the R6 Class Units of the Sub-Fund and may result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per unit of the R6 Class Units of the Sub-Fund. Such payment of dividend effectively out of capital amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor’s original investment in the R6 Class Units of the Sub-Fund or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment.
  • Investment involves risk. There is no assurance on investment returns and you may not get back the amount originally invested.
  • The investment decision is yours and you should not invest in this Sub-Fund unless the intermediary who sells it to you has advised you that it is suitable for you and explained how it is consistent with your investment objectives.
  • You should not rely solely on this website when making your investment decision. You should read the Explanatory Memorandum of Principal Life Style Fund for further details (including investment strategies, risk factors, fees and charges, and fund information).

Investment Strategy

The types of debt securities that the Principal Hong Kong Bond Fund primarily intends to invest into are government bonds, corporate bonds/debentures, floating rate note, bills, commercial paper and certificates of deposit. In addition, the Sub-Fund will invest not more than 30% of its assets in other short-term investments such as bills and deposits or may hold cash. The Sub-Fund may invest less than 30% of its net asset value in debt instruments with loss-absorption features, which may include instruments classified as Additional Tier 1/Tier 2 capital instruments, contingent convertible bonds, non-preferred senior bonds which may also be known as Tier 3 bonds and other instruments eligible to count as loss-absorbing capacity under the resolution regime for financial institution, in compliance with its investment policy and limits. These instruments may be subject to contingent write-down or contingent conversion to equity on the occurrence of trigger event(s). The Sub-Fund may enter into financial futures contracts, financial option contracts and currency forward contracts for hedging purposes. For details please refer to Explanatory Memorandum.

1. The Risk/Return Spectrum includes 4 levels of risks: Low, Moderate, Moderate to High and High. The classifications of Risk/Return Spectrum for each constituent fund are determined by the Investment Manager of the Scheme, Principal Asset Management Company (Asia) Limited, based on past volatility (i.e. annualized standard deviation of returns) and relative risk levels among the constituent funds in the Scheme. The classifications of Risk/Return Spectrum will be reviewed by the Investment Manager on an annual basis and are provided for reference only.

2. The 3 Years Annualized Volatility shows the risk of a constituent fund and is calculated as an annualized standard deviation based on the monthly rates of return of the constituent fund over the past three years. However, it is not required to indicate the 3 Years Annualized Volatility if the period between the reporting date of the website and the inception date for the fund is less than 3 years.

3. For Retail Class Units and R6 Class Units: the ongoing charges figures are based on expenses for the year ended 31 December 2023. These figures may vary from year to year.

4. Investors should note that (i) the above ranges of asset and geographic allocations are for indication only and long-term allocations may vary with changing market conditions; and (ii) the geographic allocation for equity investments is classified by the principal place of business of the issuers and the geographic allocation for debt investments is classified by their currency denomination.
