---

The HK Funds Capital Appreciation Index uses a proprietary objective rules-based methodology for portfolio construction:

• Primarily mid-cap dividend paying companies 
• Excludes sectors with high commodity and interest rate risk 
• Long history of consistently paying and growing their dividend 
• No prior history of dividend cuts, only growth 
• Long runway for future dividend growth, i.e., low payout ratio 
• Consistent historical stock price performance 
• Data analytic driven predictive replicability of stock price performance
