WHAT ARE THE KEY RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT?
KEY RISKS
You should be aware that the price of Units can go down as well as up. The value of the
Sub-Fund and its distributions (if any) may rise or fall. The following are key risk factors
that may cause you to lose some or all of your investment:
Market and Credit Risks
• You are exposed to market risk
o The price of the securities comprised in the portfolio of the Sub-Fund and the Units, and
the income from them, may be influenced by political and economic conditions, changes
in interest rates, earnings of the corporations whose securities are comprised in the
portfolio, and the market’s perception of the securities.
• You are exposed to interest rate risk and credit risk
o Investments in debt securities are subject to interest rate fluctuations and credit risks,
such as risk of default by the issuer and are subject to adverse changes in general
economic conditions, the financial condition of the issuer, or both, or an unanticipated rise
in interest rates, which may impair the issuer’s ability to make payments of interest and
principal, resulting in a possible default by the issuer.
• You are exposed to foreign currency risk
o As the investments of the Sub-Fund (which is denominated in SGD) may be denominated
in foreign currencies, any appreciation of the SGD against the relevant currencies may
negatively affect the value of the Units.
Liquidity Risks
• The Sub-Fund is not listed and you can redeem only on Dealing Days
o There is no secondary market for the Units. All realisation requests must be made to the
Manager through its approved distributors.
o If there is a surge in realisations at any particular time, the Manager may impose a gate
on realisations and payment of realisation proceeds to you may be delayed.
o In addition, you may not realise your Units during any period where realisation is
suspended.
• You are exposed to liquidity risk
o The extent of market liquidity depends on the size and state of the markets and therefore
affects the Sub-Fund’s ability to acquire or dispose of assets at the desired price and
time.
Product-Specific Risks
• You are exposed to emerging market risk
o Certain Underlying Funds may invest in emerging markets securities which are generally
more volatile than those of developed countries, with the result that Units may be subject
to greater price volatility.
• You are exposed to equity risk
o The Sub-Fund may invest in stocks and other equity securities, which are subject to
Refer to Section II
to Section IV on Pg
4-7 and the
Appendix of the
Prospectus for
further information
on the role and
responsibilities of
these entities.
Refer to Section IX
on Pg 10-16 of the
Prospectus for
further information
on risks of the Sub-
Fund.

market risks and are generally more volatile than investment-grade fixed income
securities. The Units may therefore be subject to greater price volatility.
• You are exposed to the risk associated with the investment strategy of the Sub-Fund
o The performance of the Sub-Fund is subject to the performance of the Underlying Funds
which the Sub-Fund invests in and also to the proportion of the Sub-Fund’s assets
allocated to each of the Underlying Funds. Holders should be aware that the Manager
has limited discretion to vary the allocations to equities and bonds for the Sub-Fund and
this will in turn limit the Manager’s ability to react to changes in market conditions.
• You are exposed to financial derivatives risk
o The Manager may in its absolute discretion, invest in FDIs for the purposes of
hedging, efficient portfolio management and/or optimising returns. While the
prudent and judicious use of derivatives can be beneficial, derivatives involve risks
different from, and in some cases, greater than, the risks presented by more traditional
investments.
You should be aware that your investment in the Sub-Fund may be exposed to other
risks of an exceptional nature from time to time.

Managers through the approved distributor from whom you purchased your Units.
Nikko AM Shenton Eight Portfolios - Eight Portfolio A dated 16 December 2013 Page 3 of 4

If your realisation request is received and accepted by 5 p.m. on a Dealing Day, you will be paid
a price based on the value of the Sub-Fund for that Dealing Day. If your realisation request is
received and accepted after 5 p.m., you will be paid a price based on the value of the Sub-Fund
on the immediate following Dealing Day.
The realisation proceeds that you will receive are calculated by multiplying the number of Units
to be realised by the realisation price, less any applicable charges.
An example is as follows:
Units to be realised x Realisation price (i.e. NAV per Unit) = Realisation proceeds
1,000 x S$1.05 = S$1,050.00
Currently, there is no Realisation Charge payable.
The cancellation or realisation proceeds will normally be paid within seven Business Days after
the relevant Dealing Day subject to the provisions of the Trust Deed.
