IMPORTANT: Investment involves risk, including the loss of principal. Investors should refer to the Prospectus and Key Facts Statement of the iShares Hang Seng TECH 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 the Hang Seng TECH Index (net total return version) (the “Underlying Index”). 
• The ETF is subject to tracking error risk, which is the risk that its performance may not track that of the underlying index exactly.  The underlying Index is a new index and the ETF may be riskier than other exchange traded funds tracking more established indices with longer operating history.
• The ETF’s investments are concentrated in in companies with a technology theme from across the Greater China region listed in Hong Kong. The value of the ETF may be more volatile than that of a fund having a more diverse portfolio of investments or global / regional scope.   
• The ETF’s base currency is in HKD but has units traded in USD (in addition to HKD). Investors may be subject to additional costs or losses associated with foreign currency fluctuations between the base currency and the USD trading currency when trading units in the secondary market.
• If there is a suspension of the inter-counter transfer of units between the counters and/or any limitation on the level of services provided by brokers and CCASS participants, Unitholders will only be able to trade their units in one counter. The market price of units traded in each counter may deviate significantly.
• Termination of the market making arrangement may lead to risk of liquidity in the market for the units being adversely affected if there is no or only one market maker for the units on any counter.  The units of the ETF are traded on the SEHK. The trading price of the units is subject to market factors and may trade at a substantial premium or discount to the ETF’s NAV.
• The Manager may at its discretion pay distributions out of capital, or effectively out of capital, of the ETF. Payment of distributions out of capital or effectively 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 such distributions may result in an immediate reduction of the NAV per unit.
• 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.
