Investing involves risks, please choose carefully. Bosera S&P 500 ETF (513500) Risk Level: Medium-High Bosera Nasdaq 100 ETF (513390) Risk Level: Medium-High Dear Investor: Funds carry risks, investing requires caution. Publicly offered securities investment funds (hereinafter referred to as "Funds") are long-term investment tools whose primary function is to diversify investments and reduce the specific risks associated with investing in a single security. Funds differ from financial instruments like bank savings that can provide fixed income expectations. When you purchase a fund product, you may share in the investment returns generated by the fund based on your held shares, but you may also bear the losses resulting from the fund's investments.

Before making an investment decision, please carefully read the fund contract, fund prospectus, fund product key facts statement, and other legal documents of the product, as well as this risk disclosure statement. Fully understand the risk-return characteristics and product features of this fund, carefully consider the various risk factors associated with this fund, and based on factors such as your investment objective, investment horizon, investment experience, and asset status, fully consider your own risk tolerance. On the basis of understanding the product situation and the suitability opinion, make rational judgments and investment decisions cautiously.

In accordance with relevant laws and regulations, Bosera Fund provides the following risk disclosures: I. Depending on their different investment objects, funds are categorized into different types such as stock funds, hybrid funds, bond funds, money market funds, fund of funds, and commodity funds. Investing in different types of funds will yield different return expectations and also entail varying degrees of risk. Generally, the higher the expected return of a fund, the greater the risk you assume. II. Funds may face various risks during their investment operation, including not only market risks but also the fund's own management risks, technical risks, and compliance risks, among others. Large-scale redemption risk is a risk unique to open-end funds. That is, when the net redemption applications on a single open day exceed a certain percentage of the total fund shares (10% for open-end funds, 20% for定期开放 funds, except for special products specified by the China Securities Regulatory Commission), you may be unable to redeem all applied fund shares in a timely manner, or the redemption proceeds may be delayed. III. You should fully understand the difference between fund systematic investment plans (e.g., dollar-cost averaging) and savings methods like installment savings. Systematic investment is a simple way to guide investors toward long-term investment and average investment costs, but it does not avoid the inherent risks of fund investment, cannot guarantee investors will obtain returns, and is not an equivalent savings replacement method. IV. Special Type Product Risk Disclosure: The product you purchase can invest in overseas securities. In addition to bearing general investment risks similar to those of domestic securities investment funds, such as market volatility risk, this fund also faces special investment risks associated with investing in overseas securities markets, such as exchange rate risk.
