A."The Financial Supervisory Commission has approved this futures trust fund, but that does not indicate that this fund is risk-free. The past management performance of this futures trust enterprise does not guarantee any minimum return on investment for this fund. Apart from exercising its duty of due care and diligence, this futures trust enterprise will not be responsible for the gains or losses of this fund, and does not guarantee any minimum return."
B."The futures trust fund engages in futures trading that involves a high degree of leverage because of low margin requirements. This means that such trading can lead to large losses as well as large gains, and consequently result in a substantial decrease or increase in the net asset value of the beneficial units of the fund. Therefore, before making any investment, investors should carefully consider whether such investing is suitable for them in light of their financial resources and circumstances, and carefully study the prospectus and consider at least the various risk factors disclosed starting from page __, the information on redemption commencement date at page __, the information on short-swing trading at page__, and the information on break-even point analysis at page__."
C.For a principal protection futures trust fund that is a capital guaranteed fund, print the following statement: "The Financial Supervisory Commission has approved this futures trust fund, but that does not indicate that this fund is risk-free. If, and only if, investors keep this fund until the maturity date, can they enjoy a ____% principal guarantee. The guarantee does not cover cases in which investors redeem prior to maturity, or in which there occurs any of the situations requiring termination (as set out in subparagraphs__ through__ of Article__ of the trust deed for this fund), and investors are responsible for all relevant fees for the entire investment period, with the redemption price to be calculated using the net asset value at that time. Investors should be aware that prior to the maturity date the net asset value of this fund may fluctuate due to various market factors. Therefore, before investing, investors should be certain that they are fully aware of the risks and features of this fund."
D.For a principal protection futures trust fund that is a capital protected fund, state the following: "This futures trust fund is not guaranteed by a guarantor, but achieves the function of principal protection through the use of various investment tools. The Financial Supervisory Commission has approved this fund, but that does not indicate that this fund is risk-free. If, and only if, investors keep this fund until the maturity date, can they enjoy a ____% principal protection. The guarantee does not cover cases in which investors redeem prior to maturity or in which there occurs any of the situations requiring termination (as set out in Article ____ of the trust deed for this fund), and investors are responsible for all relevant fees for the entire investment period, with the redemption price to be calculated using the net asset value at that time. Investors should be aware that prior to the maturity date the net asset value of this fund may fluctuate due to various market factors, and that, because capital protection is not a guarantee, the purpose of principal protection will be unable to be achieved if, for example, an issuer defaults or a credit risk materializes with respect to an investment instrument. Therefore, before investing, investors should be certain that they are fully aware of the risks and features of this fund." The latter part of the paragraph shall be printed in an especially conspicuous manner, such as enlarged bold typeface or a different color.
E.In the event there is any misrepresentation or nondisclosure in this prospectus, the futures trust enterprise, its responsible persons, and any other persons whose signature or seal appear on the prospectus shall be held legally liable.
F.Web addresses for inquiries regarding the prospectus, including the web address of the information reporting website designated by the competent authority, and the web address where the company discloses the relevant prospectus materials.
