Listed Index Fund Australian REIT (S&P/ASX200 A-REIT)

Investors are not guaranteed the investment principal that they commit. Investors may incur a loss and the value of their investment principal may fall below par as the result of a decline in market price or NAV. All profits and losses arising from investments in the Fund belong to the investors (beneficiaries). This fund is different from saving deposit.

The Fund invests primarily in REITs. The NAV of the Fund may fall and you may suffer a loss for reasons such as a drop in the price of REITs or deterioration in the financial conditions and business performance of an issuer of REITs, deterioration in real estate market, etc. Losses may also be incurred due to exchange rate fluctuation when investing in assets denominated in foreign currencies.

Major risks are as follows:

1. Price Fluctuation Risk The source of revenue in real estate investment trusts comes from income and capital gains by way of investment in real estate and real estate securitization products. Prices will fluctuate due to various factors, such as regulations on the real estate environment, rent levels, occupancy rates, trends in the real estate market and long and short-term interest rates, or changes in the macro economy. There is also the possibility that prices will be affected by losses and damage to real estate resulting from deterioration, changes in location's condition, fire or natural disaster. There is a risk that the Fund will incur losses due to a decrease in dividends and prices of real estate investment trusts if there is deterioration in their financial standing, or worsening performance and market conditions.

Corporate and government bonds generally have a price fluctuation risk arising from changes in interest rates. Generally, their prices go down when interest rates rise, causing the NAV of the funds to fall. The degree of price fluctuation varies depending on the remaining time to maturity, coupon rate and other issuance conditions.

2. Liquidity Risk Where the market size or trading volume is small, buying and selling prices for securities may be largely affected. This results in the risk that securities cannot be traded at the expected prices, sold at the appraised prices, or that trading volume is limited regardless of prices. This creates the risk of unexpected losses.

3. Credit Risk There is a risk that this Fund will incur material losses in the event that the real estate investment trusts are in a state of insolvency or excessive debt or if it is expected that such a situation will arise.

If a default has occurred or is expected to occur, for issuers of public and corporate bonds or short-term financial assets, the prices of such public and corporate bonds or short-term financial assets decline (the value could even fall to zero). This results in a decline of the Fund's NAV. In addition, if default in fact occurs, there is a high possibility of being unable to collect investment funds.

4. Currency Fluctuation Risk For foreign-currency-denominated assets, in general, if the yen is stronger than the currencies of such assets, the Fund's NAV will decline.

5. Security-lending Risk Lending of securities is accompanied by counterparty risks, which are the risks of default or cancellation of lending agreements as result of bankruptcy, etc., by the counterparties. As a result, there is a risk that the Fund will suffer unanticipated losses. Following the default or cancellation of a lending agreement, when liquidation procedures are implemented by using the collateral that is set aside in the lending agreement, the procurement cost of buying back the securities can surpass the collateral value, due to price fluctuations in the market.

Factors Contributing to the discrepancies between yen-converted S&P/ASX200 A-REIT Index and NAV

This Fund seeks to ensure that its NAV has the same volatility as the yen-converted S&P/ASX200 A-REIT Index; however, we cannot always guarantee that the Fund will have the same volatility as the Index due to the following factors attributable to this Fund and to the investment trust securities invested in by this Fund:

• Lag in the timing of fund inflows and to the purchase of investment trust securities;
• The potential market impact from the trading, etc., of individual issues when portfolio adjustments are made due to changes in selected issues on S&P/ASX200 A-REIT Index or capital transfers, or costs borne by the Fund such as trust fees, brokerage commission, and audit costs, etc.
• The share-lending fee from lending securities or dividends of incorporated issues.
• When derivative transactions such as futures are conducted, discrepancies in price movements between such transactions and part or all of the constituent issues of the S&P/ASX200 A-REIT Index.

Discrepancies between the market prices at which REITs are traded on the exchange and the NAV This Fund is listed on and will be publicly traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange; however, the market price of the units will depend mainly on the demand for the Fund, its investment performance, and how attractive it is to investors in comparison to alternative investments, etc. We cannot predict whether this fund will be traded at a market value below or above its NAV.

Concentrated Investment Investments may be concentrated in only some investment targets in order to track the movement of the S&P/ASX200 A-REIT Index.If losses arise due to price fluctuations in some of the investment targets subject to concentrated investment, there is a risk that such losses will be significantly larger in comparison to when investment is diversified.

*The prices of securities targeted for investment of this Fund will fluctuate due to the effects of the aforementioned risks. Therefore, please note that this Fund itself has these risks as well.

*The factors that contribute to fluctuations in the NAV are not limited to those listed above.
