Web3 ETF

Important Information

• Doo Wealth Selected Web3 ETF (the “Sub-Fund”) is a sub-fund of Doo HK ETF Series OFC (the “Fund”), which is a public umbrella open-ended fund company established under Hong Kong law with variable capital with limited liability and segregated liability between sub-funds.

• The Sub-Fund invests primarily in companies which engage in activities relating to Web3 business. It is an actively managed exchange traded fund (“ETF”) and traded on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “SEHK”). The Sub-Fund employs an actively managed investment strategy and does not seek to track any index or benchmark.

• The Sub-Fund is subject to trading risks that its shares may trade at a substantial premium or discount to the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Sub-Fund. It is also subject to trading time difference risks due to the different trading hours of SEHK and other stock exchanges on which the underlying securities of the Sub-Fund are listed.

• The Sub-Fund is subject to sector concentration risk and the performance of the Sub-Fund may be more volatile than that of a fund having a more diverse portfolio of investments.

• Investments in Web3 business are subject to risks associated with competing platforms and technologies risk, blockchain technology risk, security risk, cyberattack risk, intellectual property risk, governmental intervention risk, regulatory risk, significant capital investment risk, limited operating history risk, reliance on cryptocurrency risk and risks associated with other sectors and themes.

• The Sub-Fund is also subject to currency risk, equity market risk, risks associated with small and mid-capitalisation companies, emerging markets and ADRs and GDRs, early termination risk and reliance on market maker risks.

• The Manager may, at its discretion, pay distributions out of capital or effectively out of capital. This 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 such distributions may result in an immediate reduction in the NAV per share of the Sub-Fund.

Investment involves risks and your investment in the Sub-Fund may suffer losses. Please read the offering documents of the Sub-Fund for further details including the risk factors.

Key risks

1. General investment risk

• The Sub-Fund’s investment portfolio may fall in value due to any of the key risk factors below and therefore your investment in the Sub-Fund may suffer losses. There is no guarantee of the repayment of principal. There is also no assurance that the investment objective of the Sub-Fund will be achieved.

2. Active investment management risk

• The Sub-Fund employs an actively managed investment strategy. The Sub-Fund does not seek to track any index or benchmark, and there is no replication or representative sampling conducted by the Manager. It may fail to meet its objective as a result of the Manager’s selection of investments, and/or the implementation of processes which may cause the Sub-Fund to underperform as compared to other funds with a similar objective.

3. Currency risk

• Underlying investments of the Sub-Fund may be denominated in currencies other than USD (the base currency of the Sub-Fund). The Sub-Fund is subject to the fees and charges associated with the conversion of such other currencies to USD after receiving the proceeds of sale of the underlying investments, and vice versa when purchasing the underlying investments. The performance and the Net Asset Value of the Sub-Fund may therefore be affected unfavourably by movements in the exchange rate between USD and such other currencies and changes in exchange rate control policies.

4. Equity market risk

• The Sub-Fund’s investment in equity securities is subject to general market risks, whose value may fluctuate due to various factors, such as changes in investment sentiment, political and economic conditions and issuer-specific factors.

5. Sector concentration risk

• Due to the concentration of the Sub-Fund’s investments in companies involved in the Web3 Business, the performance of the Sub-Fund may be more volatile than that of a fund having a more diverse portfolio of investments.

6. Risks associated with companies involved in the Web3 Business

• Competing platforms and technologies risk. Companies involved in the Web3 Business face intense competition, and the development and acceptance of competing platforms or technologies may lead to rapid product obsolescence. Any of these may adversely affect the investment of the Sub-Fund.

• Blockchain technology risk. The Sub-Fund holds securities issued by companies for which blockchain technology is essential for their business prospects. Blockchain technology is relatively new and untested technology that operates as a distributed ledger. The risks associated with blockchain technology may not fully emerge until the technology is widely used. Blockchain systems could be vulnerable to fraud, particularly if a significant minority of participants colluded to defraud the rest. There is little regulation of blockchain technology other than the intrinsic public nature of the blockchain system. Any future regulatory developments could affect the viability and expansion of the use of blockchain technology. Because blockchain technology systems may operate across many national boundaries and regulatory jurisdictions, it is possible that blockchain technology may be subject to widespread and inconsistent regulation. Blockchain technology is not a product or service that provides identifiable revenue for companies that implement, or otherwise use it.

• Security risk. Transacting on a blockchain depends in part specifically on the use of cryptographic keys that are required to access a user’s account. The theft, loss or destruction of private or public keys needed to transact on a blockchain and other cyber security incidents may compromise an issuer, its operations or its business and lead to privacy concerns if the issuer is dependent on the blockchain and may in turn affect the Net Asset Value of the Sub-Fund.

• Cyberattack risk. Companies involved in the Web3 Business are prone to failures of or breaches in cybersecurity. Cyber security incidents may also lead to privacy concerns. Such risks could result in substantial loss of business or user data or information and material adverse impact on their performance and hence the performance of the Sub-Fund.

• Intellectual property risk. The business operations of companies involved in the Web3 Business are dependent on intellectual property and licences. The cost associated with patent approvals, litigating patent infringement, the loss of patent, copyright or trademark protection could result in undesirable legal, financial, operational and reputational consequences and may adversely affect the investment of the Sub-Fund.

• Governmental intervention risk. Companies in the Web3 Business are vulnerable to substantial governmental intervention, including restrictions on investments in or import/export of the products of these companies if they are deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. In the event that investments in these companies and/or access to their products are restricted, whether in whole or in part and in one or more countries, the financial condition and operating results of these companies may be adversely affected.

• Regulatory risk. The Web3 Business is subject to increasing regulatory scrutiny, including laws and regulations with respect to privacy, data protection, content regulation, intellectual property and competition. These laws and regulations are subject to change and uncertain interpretation, and could result in claims, changes to business practices, monetary penalties, increased cost of operations or declines in user growth or user engagement or otherwise undermine the Web3 Business. They may also delay or impede the development of new products and services. Compliance with the relevant laws and regulations can be costly. Companies involved in the Web3 Business may also be exposed to adverse regulatory action. Any of these may have a material adverse impact on the business operations and/or profitability of the companies in which the Sub-Fund may invest and may in turn affect the Net Asset Value of the Sub-Fund.

• Significant capital investment risk. As the markets in which companies in the Web3 Business generally compete face rapidly evolving industry standards as well as frequent new service and product introductions and enhancements, these companies generally incur significant capital investments on the research and development of their products or services and may require substantial expenditures to improve or modify its services, products or infrastructure to adapt to rapid technological changes, which may result in competitive pressure on their capital costs and financial condition and in turn affect their profit margins and may even result in significant operating losses in the foreseeable future. There is also no guarantee that the products or services developed by these companies will be successful or widely accepted by the general market or at all. The operating results of these companies may also be significantly affected by aggressive pricing as well as accelerated rate of technological developments.

• Limited operating history risk. The Web3 technologies are relatively new and untested. A lack of expansion in the usage of these technologies could adversely affect an investment in the Sub-Fund. These technologies may never be implemented to a scale that provides identifiable economic benefit to the companies. If the Sub-Fund invests in any of these companies, its investment may be adversely affected. Many companies involved in the Web3 Business have a relatively short operating history and may face dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel.

• Reliance on cryptocurrency risk. Companies which are involved in the Web3 Business rely heavily on the success of the cryptocurrency industry. There is potential risk for fraud or the manipulation, difficulty of valuation and lack of secondary markets of cryptocurrency which may decrease liquidity or volume, or increase volatility of cryptocurrency or other assets trading on a blockchain. Cryptocurrency volatility may have a material adverse effect on a company’s business, financial condition, and results of operation and adversely affect the Sub-Fund.

• Exposure to risks associated with other sectors and themes. In addition, some of the companies in which the Sub-Fund may invest are engaged in other lines of business unrelated to the Web3 and these lines of business could adversely affect their operating results. The performance of the Sub-Fund may also be exposed to risks associated with different sectors and themes, including semiconductor, internet, software, etc. Fluctuations in the business operations of companies in these sectors or themes will have an adverse impact on the Net Asset Value of the Sub-Fund.

7. Risk associated with small and mid-capitalisation companies

• The Sub-Fund may invest in small and/or mid-sized companies. The stock of small and mid-capitalisation companies may have lower liquidity and their prices are more volatile to adverse economic developments than those of larger capitalisation companies in general.

8. Emerging market risk

• The Sub-Fund invests in emerging markets which may involve increased risks and special considerations not typically associated with investment in more developed markets, such as liquidity risks, currency risks / control, political and economic uncertainties, legal and taxation risks, settlement risks, custody risk and the likelihood of a high degree of volatility.

9. Risks associated with ADRs and GDRs

• Exposure to ADRs and GDRs may generate additional risks compared to a direct exposure to the underlying stocks, including the risk of non-segregation of the underlying stocks held by the depositary bank from the bank’s own assets and liquidity risks (as ADRs and GDRs are often less liquid than the underlying stock). Bankruptcy events in respect of the depositary banks may lead to trading suspension and thereafter a freeze of the price of the ADRs and GDRs affected, which may negatively affect the performance and/or liquidity of the Sub-Fund. Also, holders of ADRs and GDRs generally do not have the same right as the direct shareholders of the underlying stocks. The performance of ADRs and GDRs may also be impacted by the related fees.

• In addition, there is a risk that the ADRs and GDRs of Mainland Chinese companies may be delisted as a result of regulatory actions by the local government and/or stock exchange. In such an event, the value of such ADRs and GDRs may be adversely affected as such ADRs and GDRs could become difficult to trade and to value, and certain investors may not be allowed to invest in such ADRs and GDRs. This may in turn have an adverse impact on the Net Asset Value of the Sub-Fund.

10. Trading risks

• The trading price of the Shares on the SEHK is driven by market factors such as the demand and supply of the Shares. Therefore, the Shares may trade at a substantial premium or discount to the Net Asset Value of the Sub-Fund.

• As investors will pay certain charges (e.g. trading fees and brokerage fees) to buy or sell Shares on the SEHK, investors may pay more than the Net Asset Value per Share when buying Shares on the SEHK, and may receive less than the Net Asset Value per Share when selling Shares on the SEHK.

11. Trading time differences risks

• As the stock exchanges in certain regions on which the underlying securities of the Sub-Fund are listed may be open when the Shares in the Sub-Fund are not priced, the value of the securities in the Sub-Fund’s portfolio may change on days when investors will not be able to purchase or sell the Sub-Fund’s Shares.

• Differences in trading hours between the stock exchanges in such regions and the SEHK may also increase the level of premium or discount of the Share price to its Net Asset Value.

12. Early termination risk

• The Sub-Fund may be terminated early under certain circumstances, for example, where there is no market maker, or if the size of the Sub-Fund falls below USD5 million. Any amount recovered by a shareholder on termination of the Sub-Fund may be less than the capital initially invested by the shareholder, resulting in a loss to the shareholder.

13. Reliance on market maker risks

• Liquidity in the market for the Shares may be adversely affected if there is no or only one market maker for the Shares. The Manager will seek to mitigate this risk by ensuring that at least one market maker gives not less than 3 months’ notice prior to terminating market making arrangement under the relevant market maker agreement. It is possible that there is only one SEHK market maker for the Sub-Fund, or the Manager may not be able to engage a substitute market maker within the termination notice period of a market maker. There is no guarantee that any market making activity will be effective.

14. Distributions paid out of capital / effectively out of capital risk

• Payments of distributions out of capital or effectively 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 such distributions may result in an immediate reduction in the Net Asset Value per Share of the Sub-Fund and will reduce the capital available for future investment.

Near Real Time Data

The near real-time indicative Net Asset Value per Share in HKD and the last Net Asset Value per Share in HKD are indicative and for reference purposes only. The near real-time indicative Net Asset Value per Share in HKD uses a real-time USD:HKD foreign exchange rate – it is calculated using the near real-time indicative Net Asset Value per Share in USD multiplied by a real-time USD:HKD foreign exchange rate quoted by Solactive AG when the SEHK is opened for trading. Since the near real-time indicative Net Asset Value per Share in USD will not be updated when any underlying share market is closed, any change in the near real-time indicative Net Asset Value per Share in HKD (if any) during such period is solely due to the change in the foreign exchange rate.

The last Net Asset Value per Share in HKD is calculated using the last Net Asset Value per Share in USD multiplied by an assumed foreign exchange rate using the USD:HKD exchange rate quoted by Bloomberg at 4:00pm London time as of the same dealing day.
