IMPORTANT: Investment involves risk, including the loss of principal. Investors should refer to the Prospectus and Key Facts Statement of the the iShares Core MSCI China Index ETF (the “ETF”) for details, including the risk factors. If you are in any doubt, you should consult your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other financial adviser for independent financial advice.  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 MSCI China Index.
• Generally, investments in emerging markets, such as the A Share market, may involve increased risks such as liquidity risks, currency risks/control, political and economic uncertainties, legal, regulatory and taxation risks, settlement risks, custody risk and the likelihood of a high degree of volatility. The A Share market may be more volatile and unstable than those in the more developed markets. The ETF’s exposure is concentrated in the PRC and may be more volatile than funds adopting a more diversified strategy.
• The relevant rules and regulations on the Stock Connect are subject to change. The Stock Connect is subject to quota limitations. Where a suspension in the trading through the programme is effected, the ETF’s ability to invest in A shares through Stock Connect will be adversely affected.
• The Manager may at its discretion pay dividends out of the capital of the Index Fund. Payment of dividends out of capital 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 distributions involving payment of dividends out of the Index Fund’s capital may result in an immediate reduction of the Net Asset Value per Unit.
• The units of the Index Fund are traded on the SEHK. Their prices on the SEHK are based on secondary market trading factors and may deviate significantly from the net asset value of the Index Fund.
• The Fund may use derivatives for hedging and for investment purposes. However, usage for investment purposes will not be extensive. The Fund may suffer losses from its derivatives usage.
• The ETF is subject to securities lending transactions risks. In particular, the borrower may fail to return the securities in a timely manner and the value of the collateral may fall below the value of the securities lent out.
