RISK FACTORS
This presentation is a financial promotion for Pacific Assets Trust plc (the “Trust”) only for those people resident in the UK for tax and investment
purposes.
Investing involves certain risks including:
•   The value of investments and any income from them may go down as well as up and are not guaranteed. Investors may get back
    significantly less than the original amount invested.
•   Emerging market risk: Emerging markets tend to be more sensitive to economic and political conditions than developed markets. Other factors
    include greater liquidity risk, restrictions on investment or transfer of assets, failed/delayed settlement and difficulties valuing securities.
•   Specific region risk: investing in a specific region may be riskier than investing in a number of different countries or regions. Investing in a
    larger number of countries or regions helps spread risk.
•   Currency risk: the Trust invests in assets which are denominated in other currencies; changes in exchange rates will affect the value of the Trust
    and could create losses. Currency control decisions made by governments could affect the value of the Trust's investments.
•   The Trust’s share price may not fully reflect net asset value.
Reference to specific securities (if any) is included for the purpose of illustration only and should not be construed as a recommendation to buy or
sell. Reference to the names of any company is merely to explain the investment strategy and should not be construed as investment advice or a
recommendation to invest in any of those companies.
All information included in this presentation has been sourced by Stewart Investors and is displayed as at 31 January 2021 unless otherwise
specified and to the best of our knowledge is an accurate reflection as at this date.
For an overview of the terms of investment, risks, returns and costs and charges please refer to the Key Information Document which can be
found on the Trust’s website: www.pacific-assets.co.uk.
If you are in any doubt as to the suitability of the Trust for your investment needs, please seek investment advice.

Source for Trust: Lipper IM/Bloomberg/Trust Administrator. The NAV performance data is calculated on a net basis after deducting all fees (e.g. investment management fee) and costs
(e.g. transaction and custody costs) incurred by the Trust. The NAV includes dividends reinvested on a net of tax basis. NAV performance is the theoretical total return over the periods
shown and assuming dividends paid to shareholders were reinvested at Net Asset Value per share at the time the shares were quoted ex-dividend. This is a way of measuring
investment management performance of investment trusts which is not affected by movements in discounts or premiums. Source for comparator: FactSet. Table data is shown versus the
comparator index: MSCI AC Asia ex-Japan Index, calculated on an income reinvested net of tax basis. Source for CPI data: FactSet. CPI data is quoted on a one month lag. Performance
calculated from when Stewart Investors became Investment Manager of the Trust on 1 July 2010.
