funds whilst only Class B shareholders may switch into Class B Shares in a sub-fund which historicallyissued Class B Shares.DividendsYour Board of Directors proposes to clarify that dividends will be declared on the first Business Day ofthe month after period-end (for all sub-funds, whether declaring dividends for yearly, six monthly,quarterly or monthly periods).Investors should note that the Summary Prospectus will be updated to incorporate additionalrisk factors set out below, however, these are subject to regulatory approval and therefore, theymay be further amended / enhanced.Risk FactorsYour Board of Directors are also taking the opportunity to amend the “Risk Factors” section of theSummary Prospectus. The following additional information and/or clarifications:“Bond and Fixed Interest FundsUnlike income from a single bond, the level of income from an open ended investment companyis not fixed and may fluctuate. Yields are estimated figures and may fluctuate.Interest rate fluctuations affect the capital value of investments. Where long-term interest ratesrise, the capital value is likely to fall, and vice versa.The value of a bond will fall in the event of the default or reduced credit rating of the issuer (or ifcredit spreads widen, relative to gilts), similarly an increase in credit rating (or narrowing of creditspreads) can lead to capital appreciation. Generally the higher the rate of interest on any bond,the higher the perceived credit risk of the issuer.The yield (and hence market price) at any given time will depend on the market environment.However, the impact of any default is reduced by diversifying the portfolio across a wide spreadof issuers and sectors.”“Suspension of Share DealingInvestors are reminded that in certain circumstances their right to redeem from or switch Fundsmay be suspended (See Appendix C, section 10, “Suspension”).”“Asset Backed Securities and Mortgage Backed SecuritiesSome Funds may invest their assets in Asset Backed Securities (ABS) including Mortgage BackedSecurities (MBS), which are debt securities based on a pool of assets or collateralised by the cashflows from a specific pool of underlying assets. ABS and MBS assets may be highly illiquid andtherefore prone to substantial price volatility. Unless otherwise specifically stated for a Fund, ABSand/or MBS will not represent more than 20% of the Net Asset Value of a Fund.”“Repurchase/Reverse Repurchase or Securities Lending AgreementsIn the event of insolvency, bankruptcy or default of the counterparty under a repurchase/reverserepurchase agreement or securities lending agreement, the Fund may experience both delays inliquidating the underlying securities and losses, including the possible decline in the value ofsecurities, during the period while it seeks to enforce its rights thereto, possible sub-normal levelsof income and lack of access to income during the period and expenses in enforcing its rights.Whilst value of the collateral will be maintained to at least equal to the value of the securitiestransferred, in the event of a sudden market movement there is a risk that the value of suchcollateral may fall below the value of the securities transferred. The Fund will seek to mitigatethis risk by requiring any securities lending agent to indemnify the relevant Fund against such afall in the value of collateral (save where such collateral has been re-invested at the instructionsof the Fund).”3
“Potential Conflicts of InterestThe Investment Manager/Adviser and other companies in the Aberdeen Group may effecttransaction in which they have, directly or indirectly, an interest which may involve a potentialconflict with their duty to the Fund. Neither the Investment Manager/Adviser nor othercompanies in the Aberdeen Group shall be liable to account to the Fund for any profit,commission or remuneration made or received from or by reason of such transactions or anyconnected transactions nor will the Investment Manager/Adviser’s fees, unless otherwiseprovided, be abated. The Investment Manager/Adviser will ensure that such transactions areeffected on terms which are not less favourable to the Fund than if the potential conflict had notexisted. Such potential conflicting interests or duties may arise because the InvestmentManager/Adviser or other members in the Aberdeen Group may have invested directly orindirectly in the Fund. More specifically, the Investment Manager/Adviser, under the rules ofconduct applicable to it, must try to avoid conflicts of interests and, where they cannot beavoided, ensure that its clients (including the Fund) are fairly treated.”“Exchange ratesThe Funds may invest in securities denominated in a number of different currencies other thanthe Base Currency in which the Funds are denominated. Changes in foreign currency exchangerates may adversely affect the value of a Fund’s investments and the income thereon.”Investors should note that Appendix G - Glossary of Terms in the Summary Prospectus will beupdated to incorporate the revised definition for “Debt and Debt-Related Securities”, however,the revised definition is subject to regulatory approval and may therefore be further amended /enhanced. The definition of “Debt and Debt-Related Securities” was first introduced in thenotice to shareholders dated 21 July 2007.Change to Definition of “Debt and Debt-Related Securities”The definition of “Debt and Debt-Related Securities” in the Glossary in Appendix G of the SummaryProspectus is being updated to clarify that asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are alsospecifically included in this definition.Change to payment methodWith effect from 1 January 2009, the section “Payment method” under the sub-heading “Applicationfor investment” in the Investment Application Form is amended as follow:USDHKDAUDJPYBeneficiary Bank Bank of America N.A.
