Three steps to choose funds
fund
Step 1
Recognize your investment style
Through filling in our Investment Profile Questionnaire, you can understand whether you are a conservative or relatively aggressive investor based on your investment objectives, risk tolerance and investment tenor.
fund
Step 2
Analyze fund characteristics
  • Investment objective of the fund : Bond funds aim to provide stable cash income, whereas balanced funds aim to provide stable cash income while seeking for potential capital appreciation at the same time.
  • Scope of fund investment : Investing in different asset classes , industries or regions can help diversify investment risks . Take regions as an example, global market funds are more dispersed than funds invested in a single region or country.
  • Risks of fund investment : When selecting fund portfolios, conservative  investors may consider to choose bond funds with  lower volatility  and  comparatively more stable returns ; on the contrary, relatively  aggressive  investors may consider to choose balanced funds with  higher volatility  but  considerable higher potential returns . Furthermore, when investing in funds denominated in non-RMB currency, investor should also take the currency risks into consideration.
  • Offering Documents of the fund : Before selecting fund, should read and understand the fund’s offering documents (including but not limited to the Prospectus/Product Key Facts Statement/Financial Reports)
  • Past performance of fund : Investment return is not the only performance indicator of a fund. The past performance of a mutual fund is not a guide to its future performance and yields are not guaranteed.
fund
Step 3
Fund comparison
Although the past performance of funds does not represent future performance, it still holds a certain level of reference value. Fund comparison can distinguish a fund from its category through long-term performance and stability . Both our Online Banking and Mobile Banking provide functions to help investors understand more about funds:
  • Fund search : Set filter criteria to list out all eligible funds under the Southbound Scheme, check basic fund information and performance data, as well as download fund offering documents for more in-depth information.
  • Fund details : On <Fund Details >page, you can view fund information including data related to short-term, medium-term and long-term risks and returns.
  • Fund comparison # : Filter outstanding and stable-performing funds.
  • Funds overview : Frequently provides latest market information, enabling you to grasp market trends.
# Applicable to Online Banking only.
By following the three steps above, investors can choose fund portfolios that fit, decide on investment allocation and make investments. Fund investments should be regarded as long-term investments. Implementation to invest is only the first step for investing. It is more important to continuously review and rebalance investment portfolios based on personal needs and market conditions.
