About the FTSE China A50 Index (the “Index”)

 

The FTSE China A50 Index is free-float market capitalisation-weighted and consists of the 50 largest A-share stocks listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges.

Index Approach

 

Index Features

Simple and predictable composition

  • Free float market capitalisation approach; constituents with higher capitalisation are assigned higher weightings
  • No complex index methodology that might introduce higher unsystematic risks

Low index turnover

  • Largest stocks typically retain their dominant positions, leading to lower index turnover during rebalancing
  • Reduces transaction costs for passive management approach

Quarterly rebalancing

  • Quarterly review and rebalancing in March, June, September and December which aligns with earnings season and China central bank meetings
  • Buffer zone provides stability and reduces the turnover of the index

Represents the China A-Share market

  • While the Index has a small number of constituents, it represents about a third of the broader China A-share market, based on market capitalisation1
  • Highly correlated to the broader China A-share market based on historical performance2

 

Index methodology

SSE 50 Index methodology

 

Index sector distribution

The Index offers diversification across a variety of industries, each with different sensitivities to market conditions. This balanced allocation helps reduce risk while capturing growth potential across multiple sectors.




 


Buffers against market instability4

Because of its exposure to large cap stocks, the Index typically experiences higher upside during China market rallies, and lower drawdowns during market corrections, compared to all-cap indices such as the FTSE China A All Cap Index.

Note: Performance relative to the FTSE China A All Cap Index (in CNY). Data as of 29 November 2024, based on three years of historical data.

This document is for general information only. It does not constitute an offer or solicitation to deal in units in the Fund (“Units”) or investment advice or recommendation and was prepared without regard to the specific objectives, financial situation or needs of any particular person who may receive it.

The information contained in this document, including any data, projections and underlying assumptions, are based upon certain assumptions, management forecasts and analysis of information available and reflects prevailing conditions and UOB Asset Management Ltd’s (“UOBAM”) views as of the date of the document, all of which are subject to change at any time without notice. In preparing this document, UOBAM has relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of all information available from public sources or which was otherwise reviewed by UOBAM. While the information provided herein is believed to be reliable, UOBAM makes no representation or warranty whether express or implied, and accepts no responsibility or liability for its completeness or accuracy. Nothing in this document shall, under any circumstances constitute a continuing representation or give rise to any implication that there has not been or there will not be any change affecting the Fund. No representation or promise as to the performance of the Fund or the return on your investment is made. Past performance of the Fund or UOBAM and any past performance or prediction, projection or forecast of the economic trends or securities market are not necessarily indicative of the future or likely performance of the Fund or UOBAM. The value of Units and the income from them, if any, may fall as well as rise, and is likely to have high volatility due to the investment policies and/or portfolio management techniques employed by the Fund. Investments in Units involve risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested, and are not obligations of, deposits in, or guaranteed or insured by United Overseas Bank Limited (“UOB”), UOBAM, or any of their subsidiary, associate or affiliate (“UOB Group”) or distributors of the Fund. The Fund may use or invest in financial derivative instruments and you should be aware of the risks associated with investments in financial derivative instruments which are described in the Fund's prospectus. The UOB Group may have interests in the Units and may also perform or seek to perform brokering and other investment or securities-related services for the Fund.

Investors should note that the Fund is not like a conventional unit trust in that an investor cannot redeem his Units directly with UOBAM and can only do so through the participating dealers if his redemption amount satisfies a prescribed minimum that will be comparatively larger than that required for redemptions of units in a conventional unit trust. An investor may therefore only be able to realise the value of his Units by selling the Units on the Singapore Exchange Limited (“SGX”). Investors should also note that any listing and quotation of Units on the SGX does not guarantee a liquid market for the Units.

An investment in unit trusts is subject to investment risks and foreign exchange risks, including the possible loss of all or part of the principal amount invested. Investors should read the Fund's prospectus and product highlights sheet, which are available and may be obtained from UOBAM or any of its appointed agents or distributors, before deciding whether to subscribe for or purchase any Units. You are responsible for your own investment decisions. You may wish to seek advice from a financial adviser before making a commitment to invest in any Units, and in the event that you choose not to do so, you should consider carefully whether the Fund is suitable for you.
