2. Changes in investment objectives, policies and strategies a. The Underlying Fund corresponding to Janus Henderson Horizon Fund - China Fund - A2 (Reference Code:

04HU) With effect from the Effective Date, the Underlying Fund will change from a long/short strategy to a long-only strategy. For the avoidance of doubt, there is no change to the Underlying Fund’s existing investment universe with a diversified core exposure to the Chinese and Hong Kong equities (as defined below), as further explained below. From the Effective Date, the Hong Kong Offering Documents will also clarify that the Investment Manager will be able to use derivatives to reduce risk and to manage the Underlying Fund more efficiently. The investment objective and policy of the Underlying Fund as set out in the KFS will read as follows (changes shown in mark-ups): “Investment objective The Sub-Fund aims to provide capital growth over the long term. Investment strategy The Sub-Fund will investinvests at least 80% of its net assets, by taking long (and to a lesser extent short) positionsNAV in equities or equity-related instruments of (i) : • companies having their registered office in China and Hong Kong; (ii) • companies that do not have their registered office in China and Hong Kong but do most of their business, either directly or through subsidiaries, in China and Hong Kong. Notwithstanding the above, the Sub-Fund will maintain a net long exposure of at least 80% of its net assets. The Sub-Fund may invest in companies of any size, including smaller capitalisation companies, in any industry. Equities may include China A-Shares, directly through the Stock Connect Programs and other eligible exchanges or indirectly through derivative instruments. Exposure to China A-Shares, whether directly or indirectly, will not be more than 50% of the Sub-Fund’s NAV. Equity-related instruments may include depository receipts,amongst others. The Sub-Fund’s long positions may be held through a combination of direct investment and/or derivative instruments (such as futures, forwards, structured financial derivatives, equity swaps (also known as contracts-for-differences), swaps, options and warrants), whilst the short positions are achieved entirely through derivative instruments. The Sub-Fund will have significantly greater exposure to long positions than short positions and is therefore likely to demonstrate a high correlation to Chinese equity markets. The Sub-Fund may use derivative instruments as part of the investment strategy (extensively or primarily for investment purposes), hedging and for the purposes of efficient portfolio management. There is a possibility that the NAV of the Sub-Fund may have a higher volatility due to its investment policy or portfolio management techniques. When implementing the Fundamental strategy, the Investment Manager apply “fundamental” research (dealing with the prospects and valuation of companies) to identify undervalued or overvalued securities and create trades that will include both long and covered short directional positions and pairs trades.

The Sub-Fund may use derivative instruments (such as futures, forwards, options and warrants) to reduce risk and to manage the Sub-Fund more efficiently. Under no circumstances shall the use of these instruments and techniques cause the Sub-Fund to diverge from its investment policy. The global risk exposure of the Sub-Fund is determined and monitored using the relative Value at Risk approach. The Sub-Fund’s leverage level is expected to be 100% of the Sub-Fund’s total NAV, based on the sum of notional exposures of FDIs in the investment portfolio including those held for risk reduction purposes. The Sub-Fund’s actual level of leverage might exceed the expected level from time to time under a number of circumstances provided the usage of FDIs is consistent with the Sub-Fund’s investment objective and risk profile. The expected level of leverage is an indicator and not a regulatory limit. The expected level of leverage will be updated from time to time. For the remaining assets, the Investment Manager has the flexibility to invest outside the Sub-Fund’s principal geographies or asset classes. The Investment Manager (“IM”) may from time to time consider hedging currency and interest rates exposure, but will not generally enter into contracts involving a speculative position in any currency or interest rate. No more than 10% of the Sub-Fund’s NAV may be invested in units of UCITS or other UCIs. For the remaining assets, the IM has the flexibility to invest outside the Sub-Fund’s principal geographies or asset classes. On an ancillary basis, and for defensive purposes, the Sub-Fund may invest in: • investment grade fixed income securities instruments, (such as convertible bonds, corporate bonds and government bonds and their associated related derivative instruments securities).; and • money market instruments and may hold cash or treasury bills pending reinvestment. The Investment Manager may consider hedging currency and interest rates exposure, but will not generally enter into contracts involving a speculative position in any currency or interest rate. The Sub-Fund may engage in securities lending transactions. Lending transactions may not be carried out on more than 50% of the NAV of the Sub-Fund. Currently, the Sub-Fund does not engage in repurchase and/or reverse repurchase agreement transactions. Performance Target: The Sub-Fund targets to outperform the MSCI Zhong Hua 10/40 Index by 2.5% per annum, before the deduction of charges, over any 5 year period. The Sub-Fund is actively managed with reference to the MSCI Zhong Hua 10/40 Index, which is broadly representative of the companies in which it may invest, as this forms the basis of the Sub-Fund’s performance target. The IM has discretion to choose investments for the Sub-Fund with weightings different to the index or not in the index, but at times the Sub-Fund may hold investments similar to the index. The IM seeks to identify companies that can generate unexpected earnings growth, at both an industry and stock level, not yet recognised by the broader market.” b. The Underlying Funds corresponding to Janus Henderson Horizon Fund - Asia-Pacific Property Equities

Fund - A(Reference Code: 01HU)and Janus Henderson Horizon Fund - Asia-Pacific Property Equities Fund - A2 – EUR (Reference Code: 05HE)

With effect from the Effective Date, the Underlying Funds’ investment objective will change from achieving capital appreciation over the long term to having an income focus, aiming to provide a sustainable level of income. The investment objective and policy of the Underlying Funds as set out in the KFS will read as follows (changes shown in mark-ups): “Investment objective The investment objective of the Sub-Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation through investment in the quoted equities of companies or Real Estate Investment Trusts (or their equivalents) in the Asia-Pacific region and listed or traded on a regulated market. The Sub-Fund aims to provide a sustainable level of income, with a dividend yield higher than the dividend yield* of the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Asia Dividend Plus Index, plus the potential for capital growth over the long term. * The weighted average of the total dividends declared by the constituent companies in the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Asia Dividend Plus Index over the previous twelve months. Investment strategy The Sub-Fund will investinvests at least 75% of its NAV in the quoted equities or equity-related instruments of real estate companies or Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REIT”) (or their equivalents) having their registered offices in the Asia-Pacific Region and listed or traded on a regulated market, which that derive the predominant main part of their revenue from the ownership, management and/or development ofowning, developing and managing real estate in the Asia-

Pacific Region.region which in the view of the Investment Manager (“IM”) offer prospects for above average dividends or reflect such prospects. For the remaining assets, the Investment Manager (“IM”) has the flexibility to invest outside the Sub-Fund’s principal geographies or asset classes. No more than 10% of the Sub-Fund’s NAV may be invested in units of UCITS or other UCIs. The Sub-Fund may invest in companies of any size, including smaller capitalisation companies. While the Sub-Fund will invest in accordance with the above investment objective and strategy, the Sub-Fund is not subject to any limitation on the portion of its NAV that may be invested in any one country. Equity-related instruments may include depository receipts. The Sub-Fund has the ability to use financial derivative instruments (“FDIs”) such as options, forward foreign exchange, interest rate swap, contracts for difference, and futures on index, interest rate and bond, for hedging and/or efficient portfolio management (“EPM”) purposes. The Sub-Fund will not use FDIs extensively for hedging and/or EPM purposes and neither will it use FDIs extensively or primarily to achieve the Sub-Fund’s investment objective or for investment purposes. The Sub-Fund may use financial derivative instruments (“FDIs”) (such as futures, forwards, options and warrants) to reduce risk and to manage the Sub-Fund more efficiently. Under no circumstances shall the use of these instruments and techniques cause the Sub-Fund to diverge from its investment policy. The IM may from time to time consider hedging currency and interest rates exposure, but will not generally enter into contracts involving a speculative position in any currency or interest rate. No more than 10% of the Sub-Fund’s NAV may be invested in units of UCITS or other UCIs. For the remaining assets, the IM has the flexibility to invest outside the Sub-Fund’s principal geographies or asset classes. On an ancillary basis and for defensive purposes, the Sub-Fund may invest in: • investment grade government bonds and associated derivative instruments; • cash and money market instruments. The Sub-Fund may engage in securities lending transactions. Lending transactions may not be carried out on more than 50% of the NAV of the Sub-Fund. Currently, the Sub-Fund does not engage in repurchase and/or reverse repurchase agreement transactions. The Sub-Fund is actively managed with reference to the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Asia Dividend Plus Index, which is broadly representative of the securities in which it may invest, as this forms the basis of the Sub-Fund’s income target in the Sub-Fund’s investment objective and the level above which performance fees may be charged. The IM has discretion to choose investments for the Sub-Fund with weightings different to the index or not in the index, but at times the Sub-Fund may hold investments similar to the index. The IM seeks to identify listed property companies and REITs which derive the main part of their revenue from the Asia Pacific region, that can deliver a regular and stable dividend with the potential for capital growth over the long term. The investment process follows a high conviction, 'bottom-up' (fundamental company analysis) approach, aiming to identify the best risk adjusted opportunities from across the investment universe. While the Sub-Fund will invest in accordance with the above investment objective and strategy, the Sub-Fund is not subject to any limitation on the portion of its NAV that may be invested in any one country.” A comparison of the current and revised wording of the above Underlying Funds’ investment objective and policy will be available on the website of Janus Henderson www.janushenderson.com1 on or around the Effective Date. 3.

companies in which it may invest. However, the Investment Manager has the discretion to choose investments for the Underlying Fund with weightings different to such New Benchmark / Index or not in it, but at times the Underlying Fund may hold investments similar to it.

07HU Janus Henderson Horizon Fund - Global Technology Fund - A2

Currently waived

Is using MSCI AC World Information Technology Index as reference benchmark to calculate the performance fee

Will be reinstated and reduced from 20% to 10% of the Relevant Amount *

Will use MSCI ACWI Information Technology Index + MSCI ACWI Communication Services Index (the “New Benchmark”) which is a single combined custom index as new reference benchmark

* “Relevant Amount” is defined in the Hong Kong Offering Documents as “equal to the amount by which the increase in total net asset value per Share during the relevant performance period exceeds the increase in the relevant benchmark over the same period (or the growth in value of the net assets per Share where the benchmark has declined). Implications of the changes of reference benchmarks There will not be any change to the performance fee calculation mechanism (with the exception of the Janus Henderson Horizon Fund – China Fund – A2 (Reference Code: 04HU), for which the performance fee will be removed) of the Underlying Funds as disclosed in the Hong Kong Offering Documents. The performance fee will be calculated in accordance with the high water mark principle with reference to the “Target net asset value per Share” as set out in the Hong Kong Offering Documents. For further details regarding the calculation of performance fees, please refer to the section in the Prospectus titled “Fees, Charges and Expenses – Performance Fees” and the section in the HKCD titled “Performance Fees”. 4. Implications of the changes (Part I points 1-3 above) The Directors confirm that the costs and expenses in connection with the above changes will be borne by the relevant Underlying Funds. These costs and expenses will not have a material impact on the fees and expenses incurred by the respective Underlying Funds. The costs incurred in connection with these changes are insignificant by reference to the Underlying Funds’ net asset value. The changes will not result in any change to the overall risk profile of the Underlying Funds. There will be no material change in the operation and/or manner in which the Underlying Fund is being managed. There will not be material adverse impact on the rights or interests of the investors of the Underlying Fund. II. Fund Documentation Changes The Underlying Funds’ investment objectives and policies will be amended to include the following information with effect from the Effective Date. Disclosures relating to active management and index/benchmark usage (if any):

- Where the Underlying Fund is actively managed with reference to an index, this index broadly represents the companies in which the Underlying Fund invests and provides a useful comparator for assessing each Underlying Fund’s performance. The Investment Manager has the discretion to choose investments for the Underlying Fund with weightings different to the index or not in the index but at times the Underlying Fund may hold investments similar to the index.

- Where the Underlying Fund is actively managed and makes reference to a cash benchmark, the Investment Manager has complete discretion to choose investments for the Underlying Fund and is not constrained by the relevant cash benchmark.

Where relevant for each Underlying Fund, disclosures will be added to clarify that the index/benchmark may also form the basis of the Underlying Fund’s performance target, income target and the level above which performance fees may be charged.

Specific fund Performance Targets will be applicable to the Underlying Funds corresponding to the following Investment Choices. Please refer to the Hong Kong offering documents for details.

子基金可投資於任何行業內任何規模的公司,包括小市值公司。 股票可包括透過滬港通及深港通及其他合資格交易所直接或透過衍生工具間接投資的中國A股。於中國A股的直接或間接投資參與將不會超過子基金資產淨值的50%。 股本相關工具可包括預託證券等。 子基金可透過結合直接投資及/或衍生工具(例如期貨、遠期合約、結構性金融衍生工具、股權互換(亦稱為差價合約)、掉期、期權及認股證)持有長倉;短倉則全部透過衍生工具達致。子基金的長倉將顯著多於短倉,因此對中國股票市場的相關性可能偏高。 子基金可運用衍生工具作為投資策略(廣泛地或主要為投資目的)、對沖及有效投資組合管理目的之一部分。 由於子基金的投資政策或投資組合管理技術,子基金的資產淨值可能具有較高波動性。在執行基本分析策略時,投資經理會應用「基礎分析」研究(關乎公司前景及價值),以識別出價位偏低或過高的證券,以及進行包括長倉及有擔保方向性短倉及配對交易在內的交易。 子基金可使用衍生工具(例如期貨、遠期合約、期權及認股證)降低風險及更有效率地管理子基金。在任何情況下,使用此等工具及技術不得導致子基金偏離其投資政策。 子基金的整體風險承擔運用相對風險價值法釐定及監控。預期子基金的槓桿水平為子基金資產淨值總額的 100%,此乃按照金融衍生工具在投資組合中的名義投資總和,包括為減低風險而持有者計算。 倘使用金融衍生工具符合子基金的投資目標及風險概況,在若干情況下,子基金的實際槓桿水平可能不時超過預期水平。預期槓桿水平是一個指標,並非具監管性的限制。預期槓桿水平將不時予以更新。 投資經理可將其他資產靈活投資於子基金的非首要地區或資產類別 投資經理可能不時會考慮就貨幣及利率風險進行對沖,但一般不會訂立任何貨幣或利率投機持倉的合約。 不超過子基金資產淨值的10%可投資於 UCITS 或其他 UCIs 的單位。 投資經理可將其他資產靈活投資於子基金的非首要地區或資產類別。 在附帶的基礎上,以及為達到防禦性目的,子基金可能會投資於:

•投資級別定息工具證券(例如可兌換債券、公司債券及政府債券和其相關聯屬衍生工具證券);及 •貨幣市場工具,並可能會持有現金或國庫券,以待再作投資。

投資經理可能會考慮就貨幣及利率風險進行對沖,但一般不會訂立任何貨幣或利率投機持倉的合約。 子基金可從事證券借出交易。借出交易不可超過子基金資產淨值的50%。 現時,子基金並無意訂立回購及/或反向回購交易。 表現目標:子基金的目標是在任何五年期間,表現每年領先摩根士丹利中華10/40指數2.5%(扣除收費前)。 子基金參考摩根士丹利中華10/40指數進行積極管理,該指數廣泛代表子基金可能投資的公司,因其構成子基金表現目標的基礎。投資經理有酌情權為子基金選擇比重與指數不同或並非指數成份的投資,但子基金某些時候可持有與指數相若的投資。投資經理尋求物色可在行業及股票層面締造意料之外的盈利增長,而未被廣泛市場發掘的公司。” b. 有關連繫至駿利亨德森遠見基金 - 亞太地產股票基金 - A2(參考編號: 01HU)及駿利亨德森遠見基金 - 亞太地產股票基金 - A2 - 歐元(參考編號: 05HE ) 之該等相連基金
