Risk Considerations
Market risk – the value of assets in the Portfolio is typically dictated by a number of factors, including political, market and general economic conditions. Deterioration or uncertainty regarding any of these conditions may result in declines in the market values of actual or potential investments, and/or increased illiquidity of investments.
Counterparty risk – a party that the Portfolio transacts with may fail to meet its obligations which could cause losses. • The Portfolio may also be exposed to credit risk and exchange rate risk.
The Portfolio may not always find another party willing to purchase an asset that the Portfolio wants to sell which could impact the Portfolio’s ability to meet redemption requests on demand.
Equity risk – the Portfolio invests in shares and similar instruments which typically experience higher levels of price fluctuation than fixed income securities.
Contingent convertible (“Coco”) bond risk – investment in this particular type of bond may result in material losses to the Portfolio based on certain trigger events. The existence of these trigger events creates a different type of risk from traditional bonds and may more likely result in a partial or total loss of value or alternatively they may be converted into shares of the issuing company which may also have suffered a loss in value.
Writing (selling) call options – in exchange for up front income from selling call options, the Portfolio’s gains from an increase in the market value of its underlying shares may be limited where sold call options are exercised. The Investment Adviser will generally seek to balance the level of income generation with the potential for limiting any capital gains, however in a rising market the Portfolio could underperform.
Operational risk – material losses to the Portfolio may arise as a result of human error, system and/or process failures, inadequate procedures or controls.
Custodian risk – insolvency, breaches of duty of care or misconduct of a custodian or sub-custodian responsible for the safekeeping of the Portfolio’s assets can result in loss to the Portfolio.
Interest rate risk – when interest rates rise, bond prices fall, reflecting the ability of investors to obtain a more attractive rate of interest on their money elsewhere. Bond prices are therefore subject to movements in interest rates which may move for a number of reasons, political as well as economic.
Derivatives risk – derivative instruments are highly sensitive to changes in the value of the underlying asset that they are based on. Certain derivatives may result in losses greater than the amount originally invested.
Emerging markets risk – emerging markets are likely to bear higher risk due to lower liquidity and possible lack of adequate financial, legal, social, political and economic structures, protection and stability as well as uncertain tax positions.
High yield risk – high-yield instruments, meaning investments which pay a high amount of income generally involve greater credit risk and sensitivity to economic developments, giving rise to greater price movement than lower yielding instruments.
Sustainability risk – an environmental, social or governance event or condition that could cause the value of the portfolio to go down. Examples of sustainability risks include physical environmental risks, climate change transition risks, supply chain disruptions, improper labour practices, lack of board diversity and corruption.

Equity investments are subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors and/or general economic conditions. Different investment styles (e.g., “growth” and “value”) tend to shift in and out of favour, and, at times, the strategy may underperform other strategies that invest in similar asset classes. The market capitalization of a company may also involve greater risks (e.g. "small" or "mid" cap companies) than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements, in addition to lower liquidity.

Offering Documents: This material is provided at your request for informational purposes. It only contains selected information with regards to the fund and does not constitute an offer to buy shares in the fund. Prior to an investment, prospective investors should carefully read the latest Singapore Prospectus or Product Highlight Sheet (‘PHS’), which contain inter alia a comprehensive disclosure of applicable risks. The Singapore Prospectus, PHS and latest annual/semi-annual report are available free of charge from the fund’s Singapore representative, Goldman Sachs Asset Management (Singapore) Pte Ltd, 1 Raffles Link, #07-01 South Lobby, Singapore 039393, from our website http:// www.gsamfunds.com/sg or via your financial adviser.
Distribution of Dividends
The investment manager may at its discretion pay dividend out of the capital of the fund, or out of gross income while charging/ paying all or part of the fund’s fees and expenses to/out of the capital of the fund, resulting in an increase in distributable income for the payment of dividends by the fund and therefore, the fund may effectively pay dividend out of capital.
Payment of dividends out of capital amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor’s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment.
Any distributions involving payment of dividends out of the fund’s capital or payment of dividends effectively out of the fund’s capital (as the case may be) may result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share/unit.
Distribution of dividends (if any) is not applicable to all share classes and is not guaranteed, and is subject to the sole and absolute discretion of the Management Company. Dividend yield is not indicative of your investment’s return.
Investment Advice and Potential Loss
Financial advisers generally suggest a diversified portfolio of investments. The fund described herein does not represent a diversified investment by itself. This material must not be construed as investment or tax advice. Prospective investors should consult their financial and tax adviser before investing in order to determine whether an investment would be suitable for them. An investor should only invest if he/she has the necessary financial resources to bear a complete loss of this investment.
Swing Pricing
Please note that the fund operates a swing pricing policy. Investors should be aware that from time to time this may result in the fund performing differently compared to the reference benchmark based solely on the effect of swing pricing rather than price developments of underlying instruments.
Index Benchmarks
Indices are unmanaged. The figures for the index reflect the reinvestment of all income or dividends, as applicable, but do not reflect the deduction of any fees or expenses which would reduce returns. Investors cannot invest directly in indices.
The indices referenced herein have been selected because they are well known, easily recognized by investors, and reflect those indices that the Investment Manager believes, in part based on industry practice, provide a suitable benchmark against which to evaluate the investment or broader market described herein. The exclusion of “failed” or closed hedge funds may mean that each index overstates the performance of hedge funds generally.
