Matthews Pacific Tiger Active 

The Matthews Pacific Tiger Active ETF (ASIA) aims to allocate capital to equity securities, including both common and preferred shares, issued by Asian enterprises poised for sustainable long-term expansion. Its geographic scope encompasses the broader Asia Pacific region, specifically excluding Japan, spanning a spectrum of economies from developed nations to rapidly evolving emerging markets and nascent frontier economies. Although the portfolio generally favors mid-to-large capitalization companies, the fund retains flexibility to invest in firms of varying sizes. Selection is informed by a comprehensive assessment of metrics like book value, sales figures, profitability, cash flow generation, dividend distributions, and employee numbers. The investment process is fundamentally driven, emphasizing companies distinguished by strong balance sheets, consistent cash flow, operational adaptability, high integrity, compelling product arrays, shrewd marketing tactics, robust corporate governance, sound financial footing, and experienced leadership. Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors are also considered as part of the investment analysis. However, it is important to note that not every portfolio holding will necessarily demonstrate strong ESG attributes, and there may be occasions when a comprehensive ESG profile for a company is unavailable or indeterminable. Furthermore, the fund is permitted to invest in various depositary receipts, such as American, European, and Global Depositary Receipts.
