Prospectus and Key Investor Information

A prospectus is a public document containing all the information investors need to make an informed decision about a fund or issue, its rights and its risks; the key investor information form is a short summary of the fund’s structure, strategy and risks. The investment fund communiqué defines the prospectus as the public disclosure document on the fund’s features and related rights and risks, and the investor information form as a summary showing the fund’s structure, investment strategy and risks.

Key Points

  • Both are published on KAP.
  • Even when two funds have similar names, differences in strategy, fees and settlement in their prospectuses can change return and risk markedly.
  • the documents are long and technical; do not skip the sections on fees, settlement and strategy.

How It Works

the prospectus covers the investment strategy and asset limits, benchmark, risk value, trading rules and settlement, management fee and other expenses, maximum total expense ratio and tax information. The investor information form summarises these points and shows past performance.

Interpretation

Even when two funds have similar names, differences in strategy, fees and settlement in their prospectuses can change return and risk markedly. Prospectus changes require CMB approval and are announced on KAP.

Pitfalls

the documents are long and technical; do not skip the sections on fees, settlement and strategy. CMB approval of a prospectus does not mean the fund will make money or is risk-free.

Official Sources

Official regulation and sources the definition is based on.
