5. Disclaimers and other important information<br />
5.1 The Sub-Fund offered in this Prospectus is an authorised scheme under the Securities and<br />
Futures Act. A copy of this Prospectus has been lodged with and registered by the Monetary<br />
Authority of Singapore (the “Authority”). The Authority assumes no responsibility for the<br />
contents of this Prospectus. Registration of this Prospectus by the Authority does not imply<br />
that the Securities and Futures Act or any other legal or regulatory requirements have been<br />
<strong>com</strong>plied with. The Authority has not, in any way, considered the investment merits of the<br />
Sub-Fund.<br />
5.2 The Managers accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information set out in this<br />
Prospectus and confirm, having made all reasonable enquiries, that to the best of their<br />
knowledge and belief, there are no other facts the omission of which would make any<br />
statement in this Prospectus misleading.<br />
5.3 This Prospectus does not constitute an offer or solicitation for the purchase of Units to any<br />
one in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not authorised or to any person<br />
to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation and may be used only in connection<br />
with this offering of Units by the Managers or their approved distributors.<br />
5.4 Investment in the Sub-Fund requires consideration of the normal risks involved in<br />
investment and participation in securities. Details of the risks involved are set out in<br />
Paragraph 7 of this Prospectus. <strong>Investors</strong> should consider these risks carefully before<br />
making an investment decision.<br />
5.5 <strong>Investors</strong> should seek professional advice to ascertain (i) the possible tax consequences, (ii)<br />
the legal requirements and (iii) any foreign exchange restrictions or exchange control<br />
requirements which they may encounter under the laws of the countries of their citizenship,<br />
residence or domicile, and which may be relevant to the subscription, holding or disposal of<br />
Units. <strong>Investors</strong> should inform themselves of and observe all such laws and regulations in<br />
any relevant jurisdiction that may be applicable to them.<br />
5.6 No application has been made for the Scheme or the Sub-Fund to be listed on any stock<br />
exchange. <strong>Investors</strong> may purchase or sell Units through the Managers or their approved<br />
distributors in accordance with the provisions of this Prospectus and the Deed.<br />
6. Important risk disclosure<br />
6.1 The Sub-Fund invests into <strong>Allianz</strong> RCM Internet Fund (the “Underlying Fund” and formerly<br />
known as <strong>Allianz</strong>-dit Internet Fund). The Underlying Fund is a sub-fund of an umbrella fund,<br />
<strong>Allianz</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>Investors</strong> Fund V (“AGIF V”). AGIF V is an open-ended unit trust established as<br />
an Undertaking for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (“UCITS”) in Ireland<br />
pursuant to the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in<br />
Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2003, as amended (“UCITS III”). As at the date of this<br />
Prospectus, the Underlying Fund may invest in financial derivative instruments (“FDIs”)<br />
other than for purposes of efficient portfolio management in accordance with the<br />
Underlying Fund’s prospectus (the “Underlying Fund Prospectus”) and the applicable laws to<br />
which it is subject.<br />
iii
6.2 In view of the equity-orientation of the Underlying Fund and the ability to use FDIs for<br />
hedging and investment purposes, the decline in prices (whether of the securities or the<br />
overall market) can have a negative impact on the Underlying Fund’s assets. The value of<br />
units of the Underlying Fund may also be subject to a high level of fluctuation.<br />
Consequently, investors should note that the Sub-Fund’s net asset value may be subject to a<br />
high level of fluctuation.<br />
Please refer to Paragraph 7 of this Prospectus for further details.<br />
7. Glossary<br />
7.1 The meaning of some of the terms and abbreviations used in this Prospectus can be found in<br />
the Glossary of Terms at the end of this Prospectus. The meaning of terms not defined in<br />
this Prospectus can be found in the Deed constituting the Sub-Fund.<br />

5. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, FOCUS AND APPROACH<br />
5.1 The investment objective of the Sub-Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital<br />
growth appreciation, by investing all or substantially all of its assets directly into the<br />
Underlying Fund.<br />
The Underlying Fund aims to provide investors with long-term capital growth primarily<br />
through investment in <strong>com</strong>panies that are listed on the Inter@ctive Week Internet Index or<br />
derive the majority of their revenues and/or profits from the internet or associated<br />
technologies, including hardware, software, electronic <strong>com</strong>ponents and systems, media and<br />
information services, tele<strong>com</strong>munications and internet <strong>com</strong>panies as well as technology<br />
groups or <strong>com</strong>panies associated with the <strong>com</strong>puter and internet business (“collectively<br />
“Internet Companies”) via the equity markets. To achieve the investment objective, the<br />
assets of the Underlying Fund will be invested in accordance with the principle of risk<br />
diversification outlined in the Underlying Fund Prospectus. Briefly, the Underlying Fund will<br />
invest at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of Internet Companies (including<br />
investments in index certificates and other certificates whose risk profiles typically<br />
correlate with equity securities of Internet Companies). The Underlying Fund may invest up<br />
to 10% of its net assets in equity securities of issuers which are not Internet Companies. The<br />
Underlying Fund is also permitted to invest up to 10% of its net assets in other collective<br />
investment schemes, including UCITS and Non-UCITS, provided that these collective<br />
investment schemes are equity funds or money market funds managed directly or indirectly<br />
by the manager or by a member <strong>com</strong>pany of the <strong>Allianz</strong> Group. The Underlying Fund is<br />
permitted to place cash on deposit and to purchase money market instruments. In each<br />
case, investments will be made depending on the investment manager/investment adviser’s<br />
2
assessment of the market situation and in accordance with the Underlying Fund Prospectus.<br />
As at the date of this Prospectus, all units issued under the Underlying Fund to the Sub-Fund<br />
are “A EUR Units” although other classes of units may be issued in the future. The “A EUR<br />
Units” invested into by the Sub-Fund are denominated in Euro, which currency exposure is<br />
not hedged. <strong>Investors</strong> should note the risks stated in Paragraph 7 of this Prospectus.<br />
5.2 The Managers may change the investment policy of the Sub-Fund in accordance with the<br />
provisions of the Deed.<br />
6. FEES AND CHARGES<br />
6.1 The fees and charges payable in relation to the Sub-Fund are set below:<br />

the Managers for their own benefit or, at the sole discretion of the Managers, paid in whole<br />
or in part to their approved distributors. Any rounding adjustments shall be retained by the<br />
Sub-Fund (unless permitted by the Authority to be retained by the Managers). Any<br />
<strong>com</strong>mission, remuneration or other sum payable to the approved distributors in respect of<br />

the issue or sale of any Units will not be added to the price of such Units but will be paid by<br />
the Managers.<br />
6.3 The Managers may at any time differentiate between investors as to the amount of the Initial<br />
Sales Charge and the Realisation Charge where applicable (subject to the maximum<br />
permitted) or allow discounts on such basis or on such scale as the Managers may think fit.<br />
6.4 The Managers are entitled to charge for any additional expenses incurred where investors<br />
are resident outside Singapore and to deduct such additional amounts from the<br />
subscription moneys paid by such investors or the realisation proceeds due to them, as the<br />
case may be.<br />
6.5 As required by the Code on Collective Investment Schemes issued by the Authority, all<br />
marketing, promotional and advertising expenses incurred in relation to the Scheme and<br />
the Sub-Fund will be borne by the Managers and not charged to the deposited property of<br />
the Sub-Fund.<br />
7. RISKS<br />
7.1 General risks of investing in Collective Investment Schemes<br />
Investment in a collective investment scheme is meant to produce returns over the long<br />
term. <strong>Investors</strong> should not expect to obtain short-term gains from such investments. The<br />
prices of units in a collective investment scheme and the in<strong>com</strong>e from them may go up as<br />
well as down. A possible loss of the principal invested cannot be ruled out. The risks of<br />
investments made by a collective investment scheme include economic, political, foreign<br />
exchange, liquidity, regulatory, interest rate, default and repatriation risks.<br />
7.2 Risks specific to the Sub-Fund<br />
The risks specific to the Sub-Fund are set out below:-<br />
<br />
As the Sub-Fund (denominated in Singapore Dollars) will invest in the Underlying<br />
Fund which is denominated in Euro, fluctuations in the exchange rates between the<br />
Singapore Dollar and the Euro may have an impact on the in<strong>com</strong>e and value of the<br />
Sub-Fund.<br />
In addition, as the currency exposure of the Underlying Fund is not hedged against<br />
the currency denomination in which the assets of the Underlying Fund are<br />
denominated, the Sub-Fund will be exposed to the currency risks of the Underlying<br />
Fund.<br />
<br />
<br />
As the Underlying Fund invests in securities in various markets, the net asset value<br />
of the Underlying Fund will be influenced by the prices of these investments. This<br />
will in turn have an impact on the value of Units of the Sub-Fund. The Underlying<br />
Fund’s equity-market orientation renders the Underlying Fund vulnerable to<br />
investment risks, industry risks, general market risks, <strong>com</strong>pany-specific risks, risks<br />
associated with investment in small capitalisation <strong>com</strong>panies, creditworthiness<br />
risks, risks of insolvency, counterparty risks and liquidity risks.<br />
The investments of the Underlying Fund will each be denominated in a number of<br />
different currencies and will be subject to fluctuations in currency exchange rates<br />
and in certain cases, exchange control regulations. There may be state regulations<br />
governing the outward remittance by foreign investors of their share of net profits<br />
and dividends and the repatriation of their investments in a foreign currency.<br />
4
Investments in emerging markets and some Asian markets may be more volatile<br />
than those in the developed countries. The prices of investments in these markets<br />
may be influenced by economic and political conditions and interest rates. Some of<br />
the investments which will be made in smaller markets may be less liquid and the<br />
limited liquidity of these markets may therefore affect the Underlying Fund’s ability<br />
to acquire or dispose of securities at the price and time it desires. There may also be<br />
state regulations governing the outward remittance by foreign investors of their<br />
share of net profits and dividends and the repatriation of their investments in a<br />
foreign currency. Many of the emerging markets and some of the Asian markets may<br />
not have well developed consolidated bodies of securities laws and regulatory<br />
frameworks. Disclosure and regulatory standards in these countries may be less<br />
stringent than those in developed markets. Accounting, auditing and financial<br />
standards and requirements may not have been established in some respects or<br />
may differ significantly from international standards and, as a result, information<br />
on the <strong>com</strong>pany’s accounts may not be an accurate reflection of its financial<br />
strength.<br />
The investments of the Sub-Fund are subject to normal market fluctuations and<br />
other risks inherent in investing in securities. There can be no guarantee against<br />
loss, nor any assurance that the Sub-Fund’s investment objective will be attained.<br />
The value of investments and the in<strong>com</strong>e from them and therefore the value of, and<br />
in<strong>com</strong>e from, the Units of the Sub-Fund can fall as well as rise and investors may not<br />
realise the same amount that they invest. Changes in exchange rates between<br />
currencies may also cause the value of an investment to diminish or increase. In<br />
addition to favourable and unfavourable currency rate developments, the Sub-Fund<br />
is subject to the possible imposition of exchange control regulations or currency<br />
blockages with respect to its investments.<br />
While there are also the usual risks of investing in bonds and other fixed in<strong>com</strong>e<br />
securities, bonds and other fixed in<strong>com</strong>e securities are subject to interest rate<br />
fluctuations and credit risks, such as risk of default by issuers. <strong>Investors</strong> should note<br />
that the Underlying Fund will have limited exposure to money market assets,<br />
thereby increasing the risks of interest rate changes, general market risks,<br />
<strong>com</strong>pany-specific risks, creditworthiness risks, counterparty risks and liquidity<br />
risks to the Sub-Fund.<br />
<strong>Investors</strong> should be aware that investments in single country, sectoral or regional<br />
funds which may present greater opportunities and potential for capital<br />
appreciation, may be subject to higher risks as they may be less diversified than a<br />
global portfolio. It is re<strong>com</strong>mended that an investment in the Sub-Fund should not<br />
constitute a substantial proportion of an investor’s portfolio.<br />
<strong>Investors</strong> should be aware that technology, <strong>com</strong>munications and entertainment<br />
industries may be subject to greater government regulation than many other<br />
industries in certain countries; changes in government policies and the need for<br />
regulatory approval may have a material adverse effect on these industries. The<br />
<strong>com</strong>panies which the Sub-Fund invests in may also be subject to risks of developing<br />
technology and <strong>com</strong>munications, <strong>com</strong>petitive pressures and other factors and are<br />
dependent upon consumer and business acceptance as new technologies evolve.<br />
Trading in such securities may be subject to more abrupt price movements.<br />
Investment in the Sub-Fund may only be suitable for investors who can accept the<br />
associated volatility and are prepared to take a medium to longer term view of their<br />
investment.<br />
5
The Underlying Fund is exposed to concentration risks, emerging market risks,<br />
political risks, country/transfer risks, custodial risks, risks of settlement default,<br />
risks associated with the use of FDIs, the specific risks of investing in target funds,<br />
fund size risks, risks of dealing restrictions and <strong>com</strong>pulsory actions, inflation risks,<br />
risks of general changes, risks of changes in constitutional documentation,<br />
investment objective and policies and general conditions, key person risks, risks of<br />
transaction costs due to subscriptions and redemptions affecting the Sub-Fund and<br />
performance fee risks.<br />
7.3 Risks specific to use of FDIs<br />
(a)<br />
(b)<br />
(c)<br />
(d)<br />
(e)<br />
The Underlying Fund may, but is not required to, use FDIs for hedging and/or<br />
investment purposes, in accordance with the terms of and the limits and conditions<br />
set out in the Underlying Fund Prospectus, subject to applicable laws. The FDIs<br />
which may be used by the Underlying Fund include but are not limited to futures,<br />
options (including options on futures), swaps, swaptions, forwards, caps and floors,<br />
contracts for differences, credit derivatives, structured notes (including index<br />
certificates, index linked notes, convertible securities, exchangeable securities and<br />
mortgage-backed securities), investment certificates and hybrid securities.<br />
The Underlying Fund is permitted to effect repurchase agreements, reverse<br />
repurchase agreements and stocklending agreements in accordance with the<br />
Underlying Fund Prospectus.<br />
The Underlying Fund is required to ensure that its global exposure relating to FDIs<br />
does not exceed its total net asset value. This means that the Underlying Fund’s<br />
overall risk exposure may not exceed 200% of the net asset value. The overall risk<br />
exposure of the Fund may not be increased by more than 10% by means of<br />
temporary borrowing so that the Underlying Fund’s overall risk exposure may not<br />
exceed 20% of the net asset value at any time.<br />
The use of FDIs involves increased risks for the Underlying Fund, and consequently,<br />
the Sub-Fund. The ability to use such instruments successfully depends (amongst<br />
others) on the relevant manager’s ability to accurately predict movements in stock<br />
prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates or other economic factors and the<br />
availability of liquid markets. If the predictions of movements in the direction of the<br />
stock prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates or other economic factors are<br />
inaccurate or if the FDIs do not produce the desired economic effect as anticipated,<br />
then the Underlying Fund could suffer greater losses than if it had not used the FDIs.<br />
The ability to use strategies using FDIs may be limited by market conditions and<br />
regulatory limits and there can be no assurance that the objective sought to be<br />
attained from the use of such strategies will be achieved. Participation in the<br />
options or futures markets and in swap contracts and in currency exchange<br />
transactions involves investment risks and transaction costs to which the<br />
Underlying Fund would not be subject if it did not use such strategies.<br />
The Underlying Fund is required to employ a risk management process to monitor,<br />
measure and manage the risks attached to FDI positions. <strong>Allianz</strong>GI Ireland employs<br />
a risk management process which enables it to continuously and accurately<br />
measure, monitor and manage the various risks associated with the FDIs held by the<br />
Underlying Fund, including all FDI positions, and to ensure <strong>com</strong>pliance with the<br />
relevant investment restrictions as regards FDIs. The risk management process is<br />
submitted to and cleared by the regulatory authority of the Underlying Fund.<br />
<strong>Allianz</strong>GI Ireland will ensure that the risk management and <strong>com</strong>pliance procedures<br />
and controls adopted are adequate and that it has the necessary expertise to control<br />
and manage the risks relating to the use of FDIs. At the written request of an<br />

investor, the Managers will procure that supplementary information relating to the<br />
risk management methods employed, including the quantitative limits that are<br />
applied and any recent developments in the risk and yield characteristics of the<br />
main categories of the investments, be provided to the investor, save for any<br />
information which <strong>Allianz</strong>GI Ireland may consider confidential.<br />
8. SUBSCRIPTION AND ISSUE OF UNITS<br />
8.1 How Units may be purchased and paid for<br />
(a)<br />
Cash subscriptions<br />
<strong>Investors</strong> may apply to subscribe for Units in the Sub-Fund by submitting the<br />
enclosed Application Form to the Managers or their approved distributors, together<br />
with such other documents as may be required by them and the subscription<br />
moneys in full in the manner stipulated by them.<br />
Payment shall be in the form of a Singapore Dollar cheque or a banker’s draft made<br />
payable to, or via telegraphic transfer to, the account name specified in the<br />
Application Form.<br />
(b)<br />
Subscriptions through use of SRS moneys<br />
<strong>Investors</strong> may also subscribe for Units by paying with their SRS moneys. <strong>Investors</strong><br />
paying with their SRS moneys will have to give a written authorisation to the<br />
relevant SRS Operator for moneys to be withdrawn from their SRS Accounts for the<br />
subscription of Units.<br />
(c)<br />
Central Provident Fund Investment Scheme (“CPFIS”)<br />
As of 1 July 2007, the Sub-Fund is no longer included under the CPFIS and no longer<br />
accepts subscriptions with CPF moneys. <strong>Investors</strong> are not required to but may<br />
realize their existing Units purchased with CPF moneys in accordance with<br />
Paragraph 10 below.<br />
8.2 Applications through an ATM<br />
When an investor applies for Units via an automated teller machine (“ATM”) of the Relevant<br />
Participating Bank, the investor confirms:<br />
(i)<br />
(ii)<br />
that he has read a copy of this Prospectus; and<br />
his permission to the Relevant Participating Bank to disclose relevant particulars of<br />
his account to the Relevant Persons.<br />
During any period when the issue of Units is suspended, the application for Units via the<br />
ATM will also be suspended. Any charges to be imposed by the Relevant Participating Bank<br />
in connection with any application for Units via the ATM will be borne by the investor. Upon<br />
the investor’s request, the Managers will provide him with hard copies of this Prospectus,<br />
the Deed and any supplemental deed for the time being in force subject to any charge which<br />
may be levied for a copy of the Deed and any such supplemental deed (not exceeding a<br />
maximum of S$50 per copy).<br />
7
8.3 Applications through the Internet<br />
The Managers may offer Units to the public via the Internet subject to applicable laws,<br />
regulations, practice directions and other requirements by the relevant authorities. By making<br />
an electronic online application for the subscription or realisation of Units on or through the<br />
web-site of the Managers or the Relevant Participating Distributor (as the case may be), or by<br />
an application form printed from such a web-site, the investor confirms:-<br />
(i)<br />
(ii)<br />
(iii)<br />
that he has read a copy of this Prospectus;<br />
that he is making the application for the subscription of Units while being present in<br />
Singapore; and<br />
his permission to the Relevant Participating Distributor to disclose relevant<br />
particulars of his account to the Relevant Persons.<br />
During any period when the issue or realisation of Units is suspended, the application for<br />
subscription or realisation of Units via the Internet will either be suspended or not<br />
entertained. Any charges to be imposed by the Managers or the Relevant Participating<br />
Distributor in connection with any application for the subscription or realisation of Units<br />
via the Internet will be borne by the investor.<br />
8.4 Minimum initial investment and minimum subsequent investment<br />
The minimum initial investment and minimum subsequent investment for Units in the<br />
Sub-Fund are S$500 and S$100 respectively.<br />
8.5 Pricing and Dealing Deadline<br />
As Units are issued on a forward pricing basis, the Issue Price of Units will not be<br />
ascertainable at the time of application. If an investor’s application is received by the<br />
Managers before 3.00 p.m. on a Dealing Day, the application will be taken to have been<br />
received on that Dealing Day and the investor will be issued Units at that Dealing Day’s Issue<br />
Price. If the application is received after 3.00 p.m. on a Dealing Day or on a day which is not a<br />
Dealing Day, the application will be taken to have been received on the next Dealing Day and<br />
the investor will buy Units at the next Dealing Day’s Issue Price.<br />
The Issue Price of Units on a Dealing Day is calculated by ascertaining the Value per Unit as<br />
at the Valuation Point in relation to that Dealing Day, by adding the applicable Initial Sales<br />
Charge and appropriate Transactions Adjustment and by adjusting the total figure upwards<br />
to three decimal places (or such other number of decimal places as the Managers may from<br />
time to time determine with the approval of the Trustee).<br />
8.6 How the number of Units are allotted to an investor<br />
The following is an illustration of the number of Units that an investor in a Sub-Fund will<br />
receive based on an investment amount of S$500 and a notional Issue Price of S$1.00. (The<br />
actual Issue Price of the Units will fluctuate according to the Value of the Sub-Fund<br />
Property):-<br />
S$500 / S$1.00 = 500.00<br />
Your Notional No. of<br />
investment Issue Price* Units<br />
(*includes the Initial Sales Charge)<br />
8
8.7 Confirmation of purchase<br />
A trade confirmation will be sent to Holders within 7 Business Days of the receipt and<br />
acceptance of their application by the Managers.<br />
8.8 Issue of Units<br />
(a)<br />
(b)<br />
The Managers have the exclusive right to effect the creation and issue of Units in the<br />
Sub-Fund and the acceptance or non-acceptance of applications for purchase of<br />
Units are at the absolute discretion of the Managers acting in consultation with the<br />
Trustee and in the best interest of the Sub-Fund. If any application is rejected by the<br />
Managers, the subscription moneys will be refunded (without interest) to the<br />
applicant within a reasonable period of time in such manner as the Managers may<br />
determine. No certificates will be issued by the Managers unless requested for by the<br />
investor and subject to a fee of S$30 (or such other amount as the Managers may<br />
determine).<br />
The Managers may, in consultation with the Trustee and in accordance with the<br />
Deed, from time to time invite the public to apply for Units of the Sub-Fund at a fixed<br />
price in accordance with the provisions of the Deed.<br />
8.9 Cancellation of subscriptions by new subscribers<br />
(a)<br />
(b)<br />
A new subscriber (as defined in Paragraph 8.9(b) below) will have the right to<br />
cancel his subscription of Units (which shall include an agreement to participate in<br />
a regular savings plan (“RSP”) under Paragraph 9 of this Prospectus) within 7<br />
calendar days of the date on which he signed the subscription agreement or such<br />
other longer period as the Managers may allow or the Authority may prescribe (the<br />
“Cancellation Period”).<br />
A “new subscriber” is an investor who:<br />
(i)<br />
(ii)<br />
(iii)<br />
is an individual;<br />
is not an existing Holder who is purporting to cancel a subsequent<br />
subscription of Units made after the Cancellation Period applicable to his<br />
initial subscription of Units; and<br />
is not an existing Holder participating in a RSP and effecting a second or<br />
subsequent payment towards the RSP.<br />
(c)<br />
(d)<br />
(e)<br />
A cancellation request form is included with the Application Form for the<br />
subscription of Units or may be obtained from the Managers or their approved<br />
distributors.<br />
The new subscriber must exercise his right to cancel his subscription of Units within<br />
the applicable Cancellation Period, by sending a cancellation request to the<br />
Managers or their approved distributors by hand or post. The relevant date for<br />
determining whether a cancellation has been exercised within the Cancellation<br />
Period is the date on which the cancellation request was delivered by hand or was<br />
posted (as determined by its postmark). Where the last day of the Cancellation<br />
Period falls on a Sunday or a public holiday, the Cancellation Period is deemed to be<br />
extended to the next calendar day, not being a Sunday or public holiday.<br />
A cancellation request received by the Managers or their approved distributors on or<br />
before 3.00 p.m. on a Dealing Day will be deemed to have been received on that<br />
9
Dealing Day. A cancellation request received by the Managers or their approved<br />
distributors after 3.00 p.m. on a Dealing Day, or on a day which is not a Dealing Day,<br />
will be deemed to have been received on the next Dealing Day.<br />
(f)<br />
(g)<br />
The Managers or their approved distributors will pay the proceeds arising from the<br />
cancellation of a subscription of Units under this Paragraph 8.9 (the “cancellation<br />
proceeds”) within 6 Business Days (or such other period as the relevant authorities<br />
may require from time to time) after the Dealing Day on which the cancellation<br />
request is received by the Managers, unless the determination of the amount of<br />
cancellation proceeds has been suspended pursuant to the provisions of the Deed.<br />
In such event, the payment of the cancellation proceeds will be deferred until after<br />
the end of the suspension.<br />
The cancellation proceeds payable in relation to the cancellation of a subscription of<br />
Units under this Paragraph 8.9 will be determined as the lower of:<br />
(i)<br />
(ii)<br />
the Market Value (as defined below); or<br />
the Original Subscription Amount (as defined below),<br />
and any excess in the Market Value over the Original Subscription Amount, or in the<br />
Original Subscription Amount over the Market Value (as the case may be), will be<br />
retained by the Sub-Fund.<br />
“Market Value” in relation to Units, the subscription of which is being cancelled by a<br />
new subscriber, means the value of such Units on the relevant Dealing Day<br />
calculated as the aggregate of (a) the total value of such Units based on the<br />
Realisation Price on such Dealing Day (but without deducting the Realisation<br />
Charge (if any)), and (b) the total Initial Sales Charge paid for such Units.<br />
“Original Subscription Amount” in relation to Units, the subscription of which is being<br />
cancelled by a new subscriber, means the total amount (including the Initial Sales<br />
Charge) paid by the new subscriber for the subscription of those Units.<br />
<strong>Investors</strong> should note that the published Realisation Price is indicative in nature<br />
and can change during the period between the submission and processing of the<br />
cancellation request.<br />
(h)<br />
(i)<br />
(j)<br />
(k)<br />
The Realisation Charge, if any, will not be imposed on a new subscriber who<br />
exercises his right to cancel his subscription of Units.<br />
In the case where a new subscriber has more than one subscription and chooses to<br />
cancel one or more (but not all) of his subscriptions to which he has a right to<br />
cancel, the cancellation of the new subscriber’s subscription or subscriptions must<br />
not result in the new subscriber holding fewer Units than the Minimum Holding for<br />
the Sub-Fund.<br />
Any distributions to a new subscriber who has cancelled his subscription of Units<br />
which have been declared but not paid will be due to the new subscriber in<br />
accordance with the provisions of the Deed (whether or not an election for such<br />
distributions to be reinvested has been made by the new subscriber).<br />
A new subscriber may choose to realise his Units under Paragraph 10 of this<br />
Prospectus instead of cancelling his subscription of Units but should note that he<br />
will not be able to enjoy the benefits of a cancellation under this Paragraph 8.9 (i.e.<br />
there will be no refund of the Initial Sales Charge and the Realisation Charge (if<br />
applicable) may be imposed) and the realisation proceeds may be lower than the<br />
10
cancellation proceeds if the appreciation in the value of the Units is less than the<br />
Initial Sales Charge.<br />
(l)<br />
(m)<br />
Paragraph 10.2 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the cancellation of a subscription of<br />
Units under this Paragraph 8.9.<br />
Further information on the terms and conditions applicable to the Cancellation<br />
Period and the steps which a new subscriber must take to effect such a cancellation<br />
are contained in the Application Form for the subscription of Units. New subscribers<br />
should read such information carefully before subscribing for Units in the Sub-Fund.<br />
8.10 Switching of units<br />
Applications for switching of Units of the Sub-Fund (the "original Sub-Fund") into Units of<br />
another sub-fund under the Scheme (the "new Sub-Fund") may be made via switching forms<br />
which may be obtained from the Managers or their approved distributors. Provided that no<br />
switching of Units may be made which would result in the investor holding fewer units than<br />
the Minimum Holding in the Sub-Fund.<br />
Save as hereinafter provided, the switching of Units shall be made on the day which is both a<br />
Dealing Day in relation to Units of the original Sub-Fund and a Dealing Day in relation to<br />
Units of the new Sub-Fund ("Common Dealing Day") on which the switching form is received<br />
by the Managers or (if not received on a Common Dealing Day) on the next following<br />
Common Dealing Day.<br />
Switching of the Units of the original Sub-Fund shall be effected by the cancellation of such<br />
Units and by the issue of Units of the new Sub-Fund, such cancellation and issue taking place<br />
on the relevant Common Dealing Day, and the number of Units of the new Sub-Fund to be<br />
issued on switching shall be determined by the Managers in accordance with the provisions<br />
of the Deed.<br />
9. REGULAR SAVINGS PLAN<br />
9.1 A Holder may apply for Units via a RSP with a minimum monthly contribution of S$100 or<br />
any amount above this sum, or such amount as the Managers and the Trustee may agree<br />
from time to time. No minimum initial investment is required before starting on a RSP.<br />
9.2 Holders must <strong>com</strong>plete a Direct Debit Authorisation (“DDA”) Form authorising the payment<br />
for the RSP and submit the DDA Form together with the Application Form.<br />
9.3 The monthly contribution for the RSP will be deducted (from the Holder’s relevant bank<br />
account, or SRS Account as the case may be) as authorised in the DDA Form and the<br />
Application Form. The debit date will be on the 8 th of each month (or the next Business Day<br />
if that day is not a Business Day). After the monthly contribution is received by the<br />
Managers, the investment will be made and the Units will be allotted to the Holders on the<br />
10 th of each month (or the next Business Day if that day is not a Business Day).<br />
9.4 A Holder may cease his participation in the RSP without penalty by giving not less than 30<br />
days’ prior notice in writing to the Managers.<br />
11
10. REALISATION OF UNITS<br />
10.1 How Units may be realised or sold<br />
Holders may realise their Units by submitting to the Managers or their approved<br />
distributors a written realisation request in such form and together with such other<br />
documents as may be required by them.<br />
The Managers may refuse any realisation request if all relevant documentation has not been<br />
submitted, if such realisation would result in non-<strong>com</strong>pliance with the Minimum Holding<br />
requirement relating to the Sub-Fund, or in any other circumstances agreed with the<br />
Trustee in writing and upon giving prior written notice of such circumstances to the Holders<br />
of the Sub-Fund.<br />
10.2 Limit on realisation<br />
With a view to protecting the interests of Holders, the Managers may, with the approval of<br />
the Trustee, in certain instances stipulated in the Deed, limit the total number of Units<br />
which Holders may realise on any Dealing Day to ten per cent of the total number of Units of<br />
the Sub-Fund then in issue. If so, requests for realisation of Units in the Sub-Fund on such<br />
Dealing Day will be reduced rateably and be treated as if made in respect of each<br />
subsequent Dealing Day until all Units in the Sub-Fund to which the original request related<br />
have been realised. Where, pursuant to Paragraph 8.9, one or more new subscribers also<br />
exercise(s) his/ their right(s) to cancel his/ their subscription(s) of Units, such Units shall be<br />
included in the calculation in determining whether the ten per cent limit has been<br />
exceeded.<br />
10.3 Minimum Holding<br />
A Holder will not be entitled to realise only part of his holding of Units in the Sub-Fund<br />
without the approval of the Managers and the Trustee if due to such realisation, his holding<br />
would be reduced to less than the Minimum Holding for the Sub-Fund.<br />
The Minimum Holding for the Sub-Fund is the number of Units which may be purchased for<br />
S$100 based on the price at which the Units were subscribed for (or such other amount as<br />
the Managers may determine with prior notice to the Trustee and as permitted by the<br />
relevant authorities).<br />
10.4 Pricing and Dealing Deadline<br />
As Units are priced on a forward pricing basis, the Realisation Price of Units will not be<br />
available at the time of submission of the realisation request. If an investor’s realisation<br />
request is received before 3.00 p.m. on a Dealing Day, the realisation request will be taken to<br />
have been received on that Dealing Day and the investor will realise his Units at that Dealing<br />
Day’s Realisation Price. If the realisation request is received after 3.00 p.m. on a Dealing Day<br />
or on a day which is not a Dealing Day, the realisation request will be taken to have been<br />
received on the next Dealing Day and the investor will realise his Units at the next Dealing<br />
Day’s Realisation Price.<br />
The Realisation Price of a Unit on a Dealing Day is calculated by ascertaining the Value per<br />
Unit as at the Valuation Point in relation to that Dealing Day, by deducting the applicable<br />
Realisation Charge and appropriate Transactions Adjustment and adjusting the total figure<br />
downwards to three decimal places (or such other number of decimal places as the<br />
Managers may from time to time determine with the approval of the Trustee). Any rounding<br />
adjustments shall be retained by the Sub-Fund (unless permitted by the Authority to be<br />
retained by the Managers).<br />
12
10.5 How the realisation proceeds are calculated<br />
The following is an illustration of the realisation proceeds that an investor will receive based<br />
on a realisation of 1000 Units and a notional Realisation Price of S$1.10. (The actual<br />
Realisation Price of the Units will fluctuate according to the Value of the Sub-Fund):-<br />
1000 x S$1.10 = S$1100.00<br />
Your Notional Realisation<br />
Holding Realisation Price* Proceeds<br />
(*currently, there is no Realisation Charge)<br />
10.6 Payment of realisation proceeds<br />
(a)<br />
(b)<br />
(c)<br />
(d)<br />
The realisation proceeds will be paid to investors within 4 Business Days in the case<br />
of a bond fund and 6 Business Days in the case of all other funds or 7 Business Days<br />
in the case of a feeder fund (or such other period as the relevant authorities may<br />
require from time to time) after the Dealing Day on which the relevant realisation<br />
request is received by the Managers unless the realisation of Units has been<br />
suspended in accordance with the provisions of the Deed.<br />
In the case of an investor who has purchased Units with cash, any moneys payable<br />
to him under the provisions of the Deed in respect of such Units will be paid by<br />
cheque sent through the post to his registered address or by telegraphic transfer to a<br />
nominated bank account.<br />
In the case of an investor who has purchased Units with SRS moneys, any moneys<br />
payable to him under the provisions of the Deed in respect of such Units will be paid<br />
by transferring the moneys to the relevant SRS Operator for credit of the investor’s<br />
SRS Account or otherwise in accordance with the provisions of any applicable laws,<br />
regulations or guidelines. Where his SRS Account has been closed, the moneys will<br />
be paid to the investor in accordance with Paragraph 10.6(b) or otherwise in<br />
accordance with any applicable laws, regulations or guidelines.<br />
In the case of an investor who has purchased Units with CPF moneys from his CPF<br />
Investment Account, any moneys payable to him under the provisions of the Deed in<br />
respect of such Units will be paid by transferring the moneys to the relevant<br />
Approved Bank for credit of the investor’s CPF Investment Account or CPF ordinary<br />
account or otherwise in accordance with the provisions of any applicable laws,<br />
regulations or guidelines. Where both his CPF Investment Account and CPF ordinary<br />
account have been closed, the moneys will be paid to the investor in accordance<br />
with Paragraph 10.6(b) or otherwise in accordance with any applicable laws,<br />
regulations or guidelines.<br />
11. OBTAINING PRICES OF UNITS<br />
11.1 The prices of Units will be published two Business Days after the relevant Dealing Day in,<br />
The Business Times, Lianhe Zaobao, Reuters and Bloomberg (subject to the respective<br />
publisher’s discretion) and are also posted on the Managers’ internet website at<br />
http://www.<strong>Allianz</strong><strong>Global</strong><strong>Investors</strong>.<strong>com</strong>.sg.<br />
13
12. SUSPENSION OF DEALINGS<br />
12.1 The Managers or the Trustee may, with the prior written approval of the other, suspend the<br />
issue, realisation, cancellation or switching of Units or the calculation of the value of the<br />
Sub-Fund Property:<br />
(i)<br />
(ii)<br />
(iii)<br />
(iv)<br />
during any period when the Recognised Market on which any material proportion of<br />
the Authorised Investments forming part of the Sub-Fund Property are listed or dealt<br />
in is closed (otherwise than for ordinary holidays) or during which dealings are<br />
restricted or suspended;<br />
during any period when any market for any material proportion of any Authorised<br />
Investments is closed (otherwise than for ordinary holidays);<br />
during any period when there is in existence any state of affairs which in the opinion<br />
of the Managers might seriously prejudice the interests of the Holders of the Sub-<br />
Fund as a whole (including where withdrawal of deposits held for the account of the<br />
Sub-Fund or the realisation of any material proportion of any Authorised<br />
Investments cannot be effected normally or without seriously prejudicing the<br />
interests of Holders of the Sub-Fund as a whole);<br />
during any breakdown in the means of <strong>com</strong>munication normally employed in<br />
determining<br />
(a)<br />
(b)<br />
(c)<br />
(d)<br />
(e)<br />
the price of any such Authorised Investments;<br />
the current price of such Authorised Investments in a Recognised Market;<br />
the Value of any of the Authorised Investments;<br />
the amount of any cash for the time being <strong>com</strong>prised in the Sub-Fund<br />
Property;<br />
the amount of any liability of the Trustee for account of the Sub-Fund,<br />
or when for any reason the matters under sub-Paragraphs (a) to (e) cannot be<br />
promptly and accurately ascertained;<br />
(v)<br />
(vi)<br />
(vii)<br />
(viii)<br />
(ix)<br />
during any period when remittance of moneys which will or may be involved in the<br />
realisation of any material proportion of such Authorised Investments or in the<br />
payment for such Authorised Investments cannot, in the opinion of the Managers,<br />
be carried out promptly at normal rates of exchange;<br />
for 48 hours (or such longer period as the Managers and the Trustee may agree)<br />
prior to the date of any meeting of Holders (or any adjourned meeting) convened in<br />
accordance with the Deed;<br />
for any period pursuant to an order or direction of the Authority;<br />
during any period when the fair value of a material portion of the Authorised<br />
Investments cannot be determined; or<br />
during any period when the issue, realisation, cancellation or switching of units or<br />
the calculation of the fair value of the Underlying Fund is suspended;<br />
14
12.2 Such suspension shall take effect forthwith upon the declaration in writing thereof to the<br />
Trustee by the Managers (or, as the case may be, to the Managers by the Trustee) and shall<br />
terminate on the day following the first Business Day on which the condition giving rise to<br />
the suspension shall have ceased to exist and no other conditions under which suspension<br />
is authorised under this Paragraph 12 shall exist upon the declaration in writing thereof by<br />
the Managers (or, as the case may be, by the Trustee).<br />
12.3 The Managers may also, with the approval of the Trustee, suspend the realisation of Units<br />
for such reasonable period as may be necessary to effect an orderly realisation of<br />
investments of the Sub-Fund in accordance with Clause 15.9 of the Deed.<br />
12.4 Payment for any Units of the Sub-Fund realised before the <strong>com</strong>mencement of any such<br />
suspension but for which payment has not been made before the <strong>com</strong>mencement thereof<br />
may, if the Managers and the Trustee so agree, be deferred until immediately after the end<br />
of such suspension.<br />
12.5 The “material proportion” of any Authorised Investment means such proportion of any<br />
Authorised Investment which when sold would in the opinion of the Managers in<br />
consultation with the Trustee cause the Value of the Sub-Fund Property to be significantly<br />
reduced.<br />

the Underlying Fund may retain cash or other rebates from a broker or dealer in<br />
consideration of directing transactions in the Sub-Fund’s or the Underlying Fund’s<br />
deposited property, as the case may be, to the broker or dealer save that goods and services<br />
(soft dollars) may be retained if:<br />
(i)<br />

the goods and services are of demonstrable benefit to the Sub-Fund or the<br />
Underlying Fund, as the case may be;<br />
transaction execution is consistent with best execution standards and brokerage<br />
rates are not in excess of customary institutional full-service brokerage rates; and<br />
periodic disclosure is made in the Sub-Fund’s or the Underlying Fund’s annual<br />
report and semi-annual report, as the case may be, in the form of a statement<br />
describing the Managers’, <strong>Allianz</strong>GI Ireland’s or the investment<br />
manager/investment adviser’s soft dollar practices, as the case may be, including a<br />

15.2 The Managers may from time to time have to deal with <strong>com</strong>peting or conflicting interests of<br />
the other funds which they manage with the Sub-Fund. For example, the Managers may<br />
make a purchase or sale decision on behalf of the <strong>Allianz</strong>GI Enhanced In<strong>com</strong>e & Growth<br />
Fund without making the same decision on behalf of the Sub-Fund, as a decision whether or<br />
not to make the same investment or sale for the Sub-Fund depends on factors such as the<br />
cash availability and portfolio balance of the Sub-Fund. However, the Managers will use<br />
their reasonable endeavours at all times to act fairly and in the interests of the Sub-Fund. In<br />
particular, after taking into account the availability of cash and the relevant investment<br />
guidelines of the <strong>Allianz</strong>GI Enhanced In<strong>com</strong>e & Growth Fund and the Sub-Fund, the<br />
Managers will endeavour to ensure that securities bought and sold will be allocated<br />
16
proportionately as far as possible between the <strong>Allianz</strong>GI Enhanced In<strong>com</strong>e & Growth Fund<br />
and the Sub-Fund.<br />
15.3 The Managers and the Trustee will conduct all transactions with or for the Sub-Fund on an<br />
arm’s length basis.<br />
15.4 The Managers or the Trustee or their respective affiliates (together the “Parties”) are or may<br />
be involved in other financial, investment and professional activities which may on<br />
occasion cause conflict of interest with the management of the Sub-Fund. Each of the Parties<br />
will ensure that the performance of their respective duties will not be impaired by any such<br />
involvement. In the event a conflict of interest does arise, the Parties will endeavour to<br />
ensure that it is resolved fairly and in the interest of the Holders.<br />
15.5 The Managers or the Trustee may own, hold, dispose or otherwise deal with Units as though<br />
they were not a party to the Deed. In the event of any conflict of interest arising as a result of<br />
such dealing, the Managers and the Trustee, following consultation with the other, will<br />
resolve such conflict in a just and equitable manner as they deem fit.<br />
15.6 The affiliates of the Trustee may be engaged to offer financial, banking and brokerage<br />
services to the Sub-Fund provided these services are being provided on an arm’s length<br />
basis.<br />
16. REPORTS<br />

diligence required of them as trustee and managers, exempt them or indemnify them<br />
against any liability for breach of trust.<br />
