Important Notes:

  1. Manulife Global Fund – Global Equity Diversified Income Fund (Manulife Global Equity Diversified Income Fund, or the “Fund”) is primarily designed to provide income with the secondary goal of medium to long term capital growth by investing at least 70% of its net assets in a portfolio of equity and equity related securities of companies listed globally (including in emerging markets from time to time). Equity and equity related securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, depositary receipts and real estate investment trusts, which may involve investment, equity market, small-cap/mid-cap risk, geographical concentration and currency risks. Certain investors may also be subject to the risk relating to RMB hedged share class.
  2. The relevant distributing class of the Fund does not guarantee distribution of dividends, the frequency of distribution and the amount/rate of dividends. Dividends may be paid out of income, realized capital gains and/or out of capital of the Fund in respect of Inc share class(es). Dividends may be paid out of realized capital gains, capital and/or gross income while charging all or part of their fees and expenses to capital (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital) in respect of MDIST (G), R MDIST (G) and F MDIST (G) share class(es)). Dividends paid out of capital of the Fund amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of the amount of an investor’s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment and may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value per share in respect of such class(es) of the Fund. Fixed yield share classes pay out a pre-determined annualized fixed percentage of their NAV, which can be adjusted by the Directors with at least one month’s prior notice, do not entirely reflect the actual or expected income or performance of the Fund. These distributions may exceed the actual income, leading to capital erosion, especially during negative returns or losses, and may reduce future capital growth. A positive distribution yield does not guarantee a positive return, and the absolute distributions vary with the NAV, resulting in fluctuating monthly payouts for investors.
  3. The Fund intends to use financial derivative instruments (“FDIs”) for efficient portfolio management and/or investment purposes. The use of FDIs exposes the Fund to additional risks, including counterparty/credit risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, volatility risk and over-the-counter transaction risk. The Fund may adopt options overlay strategy such as covered calls and/or collateralised puts to generate additional income. The outcome of such strategy depends on market conditions and the Investment Manager’s ability to anticipate price movements, which cannot be guaranteed. The Fund may sustain a loss in excess of the fixed premium received from writing an option. The Fund’s strategy of generating extra income from options overlay strategy may reduce the potential capital growth and future income of the Fund.
  4. Investment involves risk. The Fund may expose its investors to capital loss. Investors should not base on this material alone to make investment decisions and should read the offering document for details, including the risk factors, charges and features of the Fund and its share classes.

A unified equity solution for income and growth

 

Holding cash is typically regarded as a short-term, stable approach; however, it can constrain the potential for long-term capital appreciation. In addition, different equity styles tend to perform differently across market cycles.

Our unified equity portfolio combines four powerful pillars – growth, value, income, and option overlays – seeking to deliver attractive yield and long-term capital growth.
