The information provided on this website is for informational purposes only and is intended solely for use by Singapore residents and is not intended for distribution to, or use by, any person or entity in the United States, or any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation, or which would subject Manulife Investment Management (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. (Company Registration No. 200709952G) and/or its affiliates (collectively hereafter "Manulife") or any of Manulife's products or services to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country.

None of the information or analyses presented are intended to form the basis for any investment decision, and no specific recommendations are intended.
Investments in any Fund are not deposits in, guaranteed or insured by Manulife and involve risks. The value of units in any Fund and any income accruing to it may fall or rise. Past performance of the Fund is not necessarily indicative of future performance. The Fund may use or invest in financial derivative instruments. Investors should read the prospectus and seek advice from a financial adviser, before deciding whether to subscribe for or purchase units in any Fund. In the event an investor chooses not to seek advice from a financial adviser, he should consider whether the Fund(s) is/are suitable for him. Copies of the prospectus and the product highlights sheets can be obtained from Manulife or its distributors, for further details (including the risk factors) and charges.
The Manager shall have the absolute discretion to determine whether a distribution is to be made in respect of any Fund as well as the rate and frequency of distributions to be made. The intention of the Manager to make the distribution and the distribution yield for the Fund is not guaranteed, and the Manager may review the distribution policy depending on prevailing market conditions. Distributions may be made out of income, net capital gains and/or capital. Past distribution yields and payments are not necessarily indicative of future distribution yields and payments. Any payment of distributions by the Fund may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value per unit.
