Based on the Fund’s portfolio returns as at 31 October 2024, the Volatility Factor (VF) for this Fund is 2.5 and is classified as “Very Low” (Source: Lipper). “Very Low” generally includes funds with VF that are higher than 0.000 but not more than 5.335. The VF means that there is a possibility for the Fund in generating an upside return or downside return around this VF. The Volatility Class (VC) is assigned by Lipper based on quintile ranks of VF for qualified funds. VF is subject to monthly revision.

The Fund’s portfolio may have changed since this date and there is no guarantee that the Fund will continue to have the same VF or VC in the future. Presently, only funds launched in the market for at least 36 months will display the VF and its VC.
