Mirae Asset Launches Global X MSCI Asia Pacific ex Japan ETF (3064/9064) - Offering Efficient Exposure to Asia Pacific Growth
HONG KONG, June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Mirae Asset Global Investments (Hong Kong) Limited ("Mirae Asset" or the "Company") announced the launch of the Global X MSCI Asia Pacific ex Japan ETF (3064/9064), providing investors with targeted access to large- and mid-cap equities across developed and emerging Asia Pacific markets, excluding Japan. The ETF seeks to track the MSCI AC Asia Pacific ex Japan Index, offering diversified exposure to Asia Pacific economies (excluding Japan), encompassing both developed and emerging markets while investing in various sectors, including cyclical and structural growth industries. The fund enables investors to capitalize on the dynamic growth of Asia's markets, from emerging powerhouses like China, India and South Korea to developed innovators such as Australia, all while benefiting from attractive valuations compared to developed markets such as the US. Mr. Wanyoun CHO, Chief Executive Officer of Mirae Asset Global Investments (Hong Kong) Limited, said: " Asia Pacific remains a cornerstone of global growth, and this ETF offers institutional investors a streamlined way to capture that potential. With a disciplined replication strategy and a focus on cost efficiency, we're providing a robust tool for long-term allocations to the region's leading equities." The Global X MSCI Asia Pacific ex Japan ETF (3064/9064) features a management fee as low as 0.18%* and is part of Global X's growing suite of thematic and regional investment solutions, designed to address the evolving needs of investors. *As the Fund is newly set up, this figure is an estimate only and represents the sum of the estimated ongoing charges over a 12-month period, expressed as a percentage of the estimated average Net Asset Value of the Listed Class of Shares over the same period. It may be different upon actual operation of the Fund and may vary from year to year. As the Fund adopts a single management fee structure, the estimated ongoing charges of the Sub-Fund will be equal to the amount of the single management fee, which is capped at 0.18% of the average Net Asset Value of the Listed Class of Shares of the Sub-Fund. Any ongoing expenses exceeding 0.18% of the average Net Asset Value of the Listed Class of Shares of the Fund will be borne by the Manager and will not be charged to the Fund.

Please refer to the Prospectus for details including product features and the risk factors. Investment involves risks. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. There is no guarantee of the repayment of the principal. Investors should note: Global X MSCI Asia Pacific ex Japan ETF (the "Fund")'s investment objective is to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, closely correspond to the performance of the MSCI AC Asia Pacific ex Japan Index (the "Index"). The Fund is subject to concentration risk as a result of tracking the performance of a single geographical region or country (Asia Pacific region excluding Japan). The Fund may likely be more volatile than a broad-based fund, such as a global equity fund, as it is more susceptible to fluctuations in value of the Index resulting from adverse conditions in the Asia Pacific region excluding Japan. The Fund invests in certain countries or regions in Asia Pacific region (excluding Japan) which may be considered as emerging markets. This 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. Listed companies on the ChiNext market and/or STAR Board are usually of emerging nature with smaller operating scale. In particular, listed companies on ChiNext market and/or STAR Board are subject to higher fluctuation in stock prices and liquidity risks, Over-valuation risk, Differences in regulation, Delisting risk, and Concentration risk. The Fund may invest in mid-capitalisation companies, which may have lower liquidity and their prices are more volatile to adverse economic developments than those of larger capitalisation companies in general. The Fund may as a result suffer from a loss or delay when recovering the securities lent out. This may restrict the Fund's ability in meeting delivery or payment obligations from redemption requests. As part of the securities lending transactions, there is a risk of shortfall of collateral value due to inaccurate pricing of the securities lent or change of value of securities lent. This may cause significant losses to the Fund. There are risks and uncertainties associated with the current Mainland China tax laws, regulations and practice in respect of capital gains realized via Stock Connect on the Fund's investments in Mainland China (which may have retrospective effect). Any increased tax liabilities on the Fund may adversely affect the Fund's value. 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 Fund's Net Asset Value. 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 Fund and will reduce the capital available for future investment.
