Overview

Investment Strategy:

KBND is benchmarked to the Bloomberg China Inclusion Focused Bond Index, which is designed to track the performance of China’s onshore renminbi-denominated bond market. The Fund seeks to invest at least 80% of its assets in a basket of fixed income securities.

KBND Overview:

  • Invests in treasuries (i.e.government bonds) and high-quality corporate bonds and attempts to provide attractive yields relative to other government and investment grade bond markets with a monthly distribution.
  • KBND offers access to the securities included in Bloomberg broad fixed income indexes and investment opportunities within the second largest bond market in the world.
  • For investors seeking diversification1 within their global bond portfolios, KBND offers low correlations to other major bond markets.

Bloomberg China Bond Inclusion Overview:

  • The inclusion of onshore, Renminbi-denominated Chinese bonds in Bloomberg indexes began in April 2019 and was concluded at the end of 2020.
  • The market estimates nearly $150 billion of fund inflows into China’s $13 trillion onshore bond market2.
  • China’s government bonds are a focus of the inclusion and China has already replaced South Korea as the top issuer by weight within the Bloomberg Emerging Market Local Currency Government Bond Index.

Carefully consider the Funds’ investment objectives, risk factors, charges and expenses before investing. This and additional information can be found in the Funds’ full and summary prospectus, which may be obtained by visiting: www.kraneshares.com. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There can be no assurance that a Fund will achieve its stated objectives. Indices are unmanaged and do not include the effect of fees. One cannot invest directly in an index.

This information should not be relied upon as research, investment advice, or a recommendation regarding any products, strategies, or any security in particular. This material is strictly for illustrative, educational, or informational purposes and is subject to change. Certain content represents an assessment of the market environment at a specific time and is not intended to be a forecast of future events or a guarantee of future results; material is as of the dates noted and is subject to change without notice.

The Fund depends on the CIBM Program to invest directly in RMB bonds. There is no guarantee the Fund will be able to continue to participate in the program. The Chinese economy is an emerging market, vulnerable to domestic and regional economic and political changes, often showing more volatility than developed markets. Companies face risks from potential government interventions, and the export-driven economy is sensitive to downturns in key trading partners, impacting the Fund. U.S.-China tensions raise concerns over tariffs and trade restrictions, which could harm China’s exports and the Fund. China’s regulatory standards are less stringent than in the U.S., resulting in limited information about issuers. Tax laws are unclear and subject to change, potentially impacting the Fund and leading to unexpected liabilities for foreign investors. Fluctuations in currency of foreign countries may have an adverse effect to domestic currency values.

The Fund may invest in derivatives, which are often more volatile than other investments and may magnify the Fund’s gains or losses. A derivative (i.e., futures/forward contracts, swaps, and options) is a contract that derives its value from the performance of an underlying asset. The primary risk of derivatives is that changes in the asset’s market value and the derivative may not be proportionate, and some derivatives can have the potential for unlimited losses. Derivatives are also subject to liquidity and counterparty risk. The Fund is subject to liquidity risk, meaning that certain investments may become difficult to purchase or sell at a reasonable time and price. If a transaction for these securities is large, it may not be possible to initiate, which may cause the Fund to suffer losses. Counterparty risk is the risk of loss in the event that the counterparty to an agreement fails to make required payments or otherwise comply with the terms of the derivative.

The components of the securities held by the Fund will be rated by Chinese credit rating agencies, which may use different criteria and methodologies than U.S. entities or international credit rating agencies.

The Fund can invest in bonds generally and high yield bonds specifically. High yield bonds involve greater risks of default or downgrade and are more volatile than investment grade securities.

The Fund is subject to interest rate risk, which is the chance that bonds will decline in value as interest rates rise.

The Fund may invest in perpetual bonds, which offer fixed return with no maturity date. Perpetual bonds can be more volatile than other types of bonds that have a maturity date and may be more sensitive to a change in interest rates.

Narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility. The Fund’s assets are expected to be concentrated in a sector, industry, market, or group of concentrations to the extent that the Underlying Index has such concentrations. The securities or futures in that concentration could react similarly to market developments. Thus, the Fund is subject to loss due to adverse occurrences that affect that concentration.

The Fund is subject to sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt risk. The governmental authority that controls the repayment of sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt may be unwilling or unable to repay the principal and/or interest when due. KBND is non-diversified.
