IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Wellington Asia Quality Income Fund

1. The Fund primarily invests in companies domiciled in or that conduct significant business in the Asia ex Japan region.
2. The Fund is therefore exposed to general equity market risks, risks associated with small-cap and mid-cap companies, risks associated with high volatility of equity markets, risk associated with securities exchanges of equity markets, geographic concentration risks, emerging markets risks and currency risks including conversion risk for Renminbi denominated classes.
3. The Fund may use financial derivatives instruments (FDIs) for investment and hedging purposes. The use of leverage can result in a loss significantly greater than the amount invested in the FDIs by the Fund. Exposure to FDIs may lead to a high risk of significant loss by the Fund.
4. The Fund may at its discretion pay dividend out of capital. The Fund may also at its discretion pay dividend out of gross income while charging all or part of the Fund’s fees and expenses to the capital of the Fund, resulting in an increase in distributable income for the payment of dividends by the Fund and therefore, the Fund may effectively pay dividend out of capital. 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 Fund’s capital or payment of dividends effectively out of the Fund’s capital (as the case may be) may result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share/unit. The distribution amount and net asset value of a hedged share class may be adversely affected by differences in the interest rates of the reference currency of the hedged share class and the Fund’s base currency, resulting in an increase in the amount of distribution that is paid out of capital and hence a greater erosion of capital than other non-hedged share classes.
