The LionGlobal Short Duration Bond Fund (the “Fund”) is not like a typical unit trust offered to the public in Singapore. The Fund comprises both classes of units listed and traded on the Singapore Exchange (“SGX-ST”) and classes of units which are neither listed on the SGX-ST nor any other stock exchange.

You should read the prospectus and Product Highlights Sheet for the Fund, which is available and may be obtained from Lion Global Investors Limited (“LGI”) or any of the appointed Participating Dealers (“PDs”), agents or distributors (as the case may be) for further details including the risk factors and consider if the Fund is suitable for you and seek such advice from a financial adviser if necessary, before deciding whether to purchase units in the Fund. Applications for units in the listed or unlisted classes of the Fund must be made in the manner set out in the prospectus. Investments are subject to investment risks including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Investments in the Fund are not obligations of, deposits in, guaranteed or insured by LGI or any of its affiliates and are subject to investment risks including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. The performance of the Fund is not guaranteed and the value of units in the Fund and the income accruing to the units, if any, may rise or fall. Past performance, payout yields and payments as well as any predictions, projections, or forecasts are not necessarily indicative of the future or likely performance, payout yields and payments of the Fund. Any extraordinary performance may be due to exceptional circumstances which may not be sustainable. Any dividend distributions, which may be either out of income and/or capital, are not guaranteed and subject to LGI’s discretion. Any such dividend distributions will reduce the available capital for reinvestment and may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value of the Fund. Any references to specific securities are for illustration purposes and are not to be considered as recommendations to buy or sell the securities. It should not be assumed that investment in such specific securities will be profitable. There can be no assurance that any of the allocations or holdings presented will remain in the Fund at the time this information is presented. Any information (which includes opinions, estimates, graphs, charts, formulae or devices) is subject to change or correction at any time without notice and is not to be relied on as advice.

The Fund is an actively managed fund. Please refer to the Prospectus for further details, including a discussion of certain factors to be considered in connection with an investment in the listed units of the Fund on the SGX-ST.

The listed units of the Fund are listed and traded on the Singapore Exchange (“SGX”), and may be traded at prices different from their net asset value, suspended from trading, or delisted. Such listing does not guarantee a liquid market for the units. You cannot purchase or redeem listed units in the Fund directly with the manager of the Fund, but you may, subject to specific conditions, do so on the SGX or through the PDs.
