Announcement of Addition of investible assets to the Fund’s investment universe of SCBNEXT and SCBFINTECH

21 March 2025

         SCB Asset Management Company Limited (SCBAM) would like to inform you that SCBNEXT and SCBFINTECH have been approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to add digital assets as the Fund’s investible assets in accordance with the SEC announcement regarding the revised criteria of mutual funds investing in digital assets. This change will be effective from 19 March 2025 onwards per following details.

         The Fund may indirectly invest in digital assets through investment units of foreign ETFs and/or CIS that invest in one or more of the following digital assets:

1. Investment Token that are legally issued and offered or authorized or approved to be traded in the registered countries. Also, the investment in Foreign Investment Tokens must be in the countries that are a member of IOSCO.

2. Crypto Asset that are authorized or approved to be traded in the registered countries. Also, in case the Fund invests in investment units of foreign ETFs and/or CIS that invest in Crypto Asset, the Maximum Limit must not exceed 5% of NAV, and the Total Specific Investment Product must not exceed 15% of NAV.

         Such amendment is made to align with the Fund's portfolio and does not impact the Fund’s current risk and investment universe since the Funds have already indirectly invested in digital assets via the investment units of foreign ETFs as follows: (data as of 28 February 2025)
