Investment policy

To achieve a combination of income and growth by investing mostly in shares of companies based or carrying out much of their business in Asia Pacific countries (excluding Japan), bonds (which are like loans that pay a fixed or variable rate of interest) issued by companies, governments or other bodies based or carrying out much of their business, in Asia Pacific countries (excluding Japan), short term instruments (such as money market instruments), cash and cash-equivalent instruments directly or indirectly through the use of investment funds. The bonds will be of any credit quality, as defined by international agencies that provide such ratings. No more than 30% of the Fund may be invested in Mainland China securities; 10% of the fund may be invested directly in shares of Mainland Chinese companies through available QFII and RQFII quotas, the Shanghai-Hong Kong and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect programme or by any other available means. The fund may have exposure to currencies other than the base currency of up to 100% of its Net Asset Value. Hedged share classes aim to provide you with a return that is as close as possible to the base currency performance of a Fund, by reducing the effect of exchange rate movements between the Fund base currency and the currency of the share class. This currency exposure is not related to the currency positions within the Fund's portfolio of investment and therefore could impact your return. Also, it is important to note that the techniques used in this share class have transaction costs which will reduce the value of your investment. The fund is intended for investors willing to accept a high level of risk. We may use investment techniques (including derivatives) to seek to protect and enhance the value of the Fund and to manage the Fund's risks. Derivatives, such as futures, options and swaps, are linked to the rise and fall of other assets. In other words, they "derive" their price from another asset. They can generate returns when share prices and/or indices fall. Recommendation: This Fund may not be appropriate for investors who plan to withdraw their money within 5 years. The Fund is actively managed within its objective and is not constrained by a benchmark. You can buy and sell shares in the Fund usually on any working day in Luxembourg, by 13.00 hours CET. Please refer to www. aberdeenstandard.com for details of any non-dealing days. Income from investments in the Fund will be rolled up into the value of your shares. Further information on the Fund's investment objective and Policy can be found in the Fund's Prospectus.
