No assurance can be given that the Sub-Fund's investment<br />

objective will be achieved.<br />

The Manager will employ a risk management process<br />

which will enable it to accurately measure, monitor and<br />

manage the risks attached to financial derivative positions<br />

and details of this process have been provided to the Central<br />

Bank. The Manager will not utilise FDI which have not<br />

been included in the risk management process until such<br />

time as a revised risk management process has been filed<br />

with the Central Bank.<br />

The Manager will, on request, provide supplementary<br />

information to Unitholders relating to the risk management<br />

methods employed, including the quantitative limits that<br />

are applied and any recent developments in the risk and<br />

yield characteristics of the main categories of investments.<br />

It is not the current intention of the Sub-Fund to use FDI for<br />

investment purposes. Should this intention change the<br />

Prospectus and this Supplement shall be amended accordingly.<br />

A list of the stock exchanges and markets in which the<br />

Sub-Fund is permitted to invest, in accordance with the<br />

requirements of the Central Bank, is contained in Appendix<br />

I to the Prospectus and should be read in conjunction with,<br />

and subject to, the Sub-Fund's investment objective and<br />

investment policy, as detailed above. The Central Bank<br />

does not issue a list of approved markets. With the exception<br />

of permitted investments in unlisted securities, investment<br />

will be restricted to those stock exchanges and markets<br />

listed in Appendix I to the Prospectus.<br />

The risk factors specific to the Sub-Fund are set out in<br />

section 5 below and includes Emerging Markets Risk and<br />

Volatility Risk. These risk factors may not be a complete<br />

list of all risk factors associated with an investment in the<br />

Sub-Fund.<br />

5. Additional Risk Factors<br />

The general risk factors set out in the "Risk Factors" section<br />

of the Prospectus apply to the Sub-Fund. In addition,<br />

the following risk factors apply to the Sub-Fund. These risk<br />

factors may not be a complete list of all risk factors associated<br />

with an investment in the Sub-Fund.<br />

Emerging Markets Risk: Investment in the securities of<br />

companies in 'emerging' or 'developing' countries, or investment<br />

in certain securities markets in 'emerging' or<br />

'developing' markets may involve a high degree of risk and<br />

may be considered speculative. Risks include (i) greater<br />

risk of expropriation, confiscatory taxation, nationalization,<br />

and social, political and economic instability; (ii) the small<br />

current size of the markets for securities of 'emerging' or<br />

'developing' market issuers and the currently low or nonexistent<br />

volume of trading, resulting in lack of liquidity and<br />

in price volatility; (iii) certain national policies which may<br />

restrict the Sub-Fund's investment opportunities including<br />

restrictions on investing in issuers or industries deemed<br />

sensitive to relevant national interests; (iv) the absence of<br />

developed legal structures governing private or foreign<br />

investment and private property; (v) the legal infrastructure<br />

PineBridge Asia Equity Opportunities Fund<br />

and accounting, auditing and reporting standards in<br />

'emerging' or 'developing' markets may not provide the<br />

same degree of shareholder protection or information to<br />

investors as would generally apply internationally; (vi)<br />

potentially a greater risk regarding the ownership and<br />

custody of securities i.e. in certain countries, ownership is<br />

evidenced by entries in the books of a company or its<br />

registrar. In such instances, no certificates representing<br />

ownership of companies will be held by the Trustee or any<br />

of its local correspondents or in an effective central depository<br />

system; and (vii) 'emerging' or 'developing' markets<br />

may experience significant adverse economic developments,<br />

including substantial depreciation in currency exchange<br />

rates or unstable currency fluctuations, increased<br />

interest rates, or reduced economic growth rates than<br />

investments in securities of issuers based in developed<br />

countries.<br />

The economies of 'emerging' or 'developing’ markets in<br />

which the Sub-Fund may invest may differ favourably or<br />

unfavourably from the economies of industrialised countries.<br />

The economies of 'emerging' or 'developing' countries<br />

are generally heavily dependent on international trade<br />

and have been and may continue to be adversely affected<br />

by trade barriers, exchange controls, managed adjustments<br />

in relative currency values and other protectionist<br />

measures imposed or negotiated by the countries with<br />

which they trade. Investments in 'emerging' or 'developing'<br />

markets entail risks which include the possibility of political<br />

or social instability, adverse changes in investment or<br />

exchange control regulations, expropriation and withholding<br />

of dividends at source. In addition, such securities may<br />

trade with less frequency and volume than securities of<br />

companies and governments of developed, stable nations<br />

and there is also a possibility that redemption of Units<br />

following a redemption request may be delayed due to the<br />

illiquid nature of such investments.<br />

Volatility Risk: All markets are subject to volatility based<br />

on prevailing economic conditions. Securities in 'emerging'<br />

or 'developing' markets may involve a higher degree of risk<br />

due to the small current size of the markets for securities<br />

of 'emerging' or 'developing' market issuers and the currently<br />

low or non-existent volume of trading, which could<br />

result in price volatility. Certain economic and political<br />

events in 'emerging' or 'developing' economies, including<br />

changes in foreign exchange policies and current account<br />

positions, could also cause greater volatility in exchange<br />

rates. As stated previously, some of the markets or exchanges<br />

on which a Sub-Fund may invest may prove to be<br />

highly volatile from time to time.<br />
