Investment policy and principal investment strategy

The Fund will invest between 70% to 98% (both inclusive) of its NAV primarily in large and/or mid-cap equities (A-shares and/or H-shares) of companies that will benefit from the development in the Greater Bay Area, of which we believe will exhibit good growth potential when compared against its peers or the overall market. These companies may be domiciled in, listed in, derive revenue from, and/or have business or economic activities related to the Greater Bay Area. The Fund will focus mainly in the equities from sectors under the Benchmark Index, which includes but not limited to technology, financials and consumer sector. Up to 20% of the NAV of the Fund may be invested in equities outside of the Benchmark Index universe. The Fund may also opt to seek investment exposure via CIS that is in line with the Fund’s objective, subject to the requirements of the GUTF. The Fund may invest the remaining of its NAV in liquid assets, i.e. Deposits and money market instruments for liquidity purpose.

CCB Principal Asset Management Co. Ltd (“CCBPAM”) will advise and provide investment research and stock recommendation to us in accordance with the investment objective and within the investment restrictions of the Fund.

The asset allocation strategy for the Fund is as follows:

  • between 70% to 98% (both inclusive) of the Fund’s NAV will be invested in equities, of which up to 20% of the Fund’s NAV may be invested in equities outside of the Benchmark Index; and
  • up to 30% of the Fund’s NAV may be invested in liquid assets.
