Fund Description

Under normal circumstances, the Matthews Asia Total Return Bond Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets, which include borrowings for investment purposes, in debt and debt-related instruments issued by governments, quasi-governmental entities, supra-national institutions, and companies in Asia. Debt and debt-related instruments are commonly referred to as bonds and typically include various types of bonds, debentures, bills, securitized debt instruments (which are vehicles backed by pools of assets such as loans or other receivables), notes, certificates of deposit and other bank obligations, bank loans, senior secured bank debt, convertible debt securities (including contingent capital financial instruments or “CoCos”), exchangeable bonds, credit-linked notes, inflation-linked debt instruments, repurchase agreements used to finance debt securities, payment‑in‑kind debt securities, preferred bonds and derivative instruments with debt characteristics. The Fund’s investments in debt securities may be denominated in any currency, may be of any quality or may be unrated, and may have no stated maturity or duration target.
Asia consists of all countries and markets in Asia, such as China and India, and includes developed, emerging, and frontier countries and markets in the Asian region. Certain emerging market countries may also be classified as “frontier” market countries, which are a subset of emerging market countries with newer or even less developed economies and markets, such as Sri Lanka and Vietnam. A company or other issuer is considered to be “located” in a country or a region, and a security or instrument is deemed to be an Asian (or specific country) security or instrument, if it has substantial ties to that country or region. Matthews currently makes that determination based primarily on one or more of the following criteria: (A) with respect to a company or issuer, whether (i) it is organized under the laws of that country or any country in that region; (ii) it derives at least 50% of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed, or has at least 50% of its assets located, within that country or region; (iii) it has the primary trading markets for its securities in that country or region; (iv) it has its principal place of business in or is otherwise headquartered in that country or region; or (v) it is a governmental entity or an agency, instrumentality or a political subdivision of that country or any country in that region; and (B) with respect to an instrument or issue, whether (i) its issuer is headquartered or organized in that country or region; (ii) it is issued to finance a project with significant assets or operations in that country or region; (iii) it is principally secured or backed by assets located in that country or region; (iv) it is a component of or its issuer is included in a recognized securities index for the country or region; or (v) it is denominated in the currency of an Asian country and addresses at least one of the other above criteria. The term “located” and the associated criteria listed above have been defined in such a way that Matthews has latitude in determining whether an issuer should be included within a region or country.
The Fund may invest a significant portion of its total net assets, 25% or more, in securities of issuers from a single country (including the government of that country and its 
agencies, instrumentalities and political subdivisions, quasi-governmental entities of that country, supra-national institutions issuing debt deemed to be of that country, and companies located in that country), and up to 25% of the Fund’s total net assets may be invested in the securities issued by any one Asian government (including its agencies, instrumentalities and political subdivisions). The Fund has from time to time invested, and expects to invest, more than 25% of its assets in China (which includes Hong Kong and Macau). 
The Fund may engage in derivative transactions for speculative purposes as well as to manage credit, interest rate and currency exposures of underlying instruments or market exposures. The Fund may use a variety of derivative instruments, including for example, forward contracts, option contracts, futures and options on futures, swaps (including interest rate swaps and credit default swaps) and swaptions. The Fund may seek to take on or hedge credit, currency, and interest rate exposure by using derivatives, and, as a result, the Fund’s exposure to credit, currency, and interest rates could exceed the value of the Fund’s assets denominated in that currency and could exceed the value of the Fund’s net assets. Although the Fund does not limit its foreign currency exposure, may invest without limitation in non‑U.S. dollar-denominated securities and instruments and is permitted to hedge currency risks, it does not normally seek to hedge its exposure to foreign currencies. 
The Fund is permitted to invest in debt securities of any quality, including high yield debt securities rated below investment grade (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) and unrated debt securities. The Fund may invest up to 50% of its net assets in bank loans. The Fund has no stated maturity or duration target and the average effective maturity or duration target may change. Matthews has implemented risk management systems to monitor the Fund to reduce the risk of loss through overemphasis on a particular issuer, country, industry, currency, or interest rate regime. 
The implementation of the principal investment strategies of the Fund may result in a significant portion of the Fund’s assets being invested from time to time in one or more sectors, but the Fund may invest in companies in any sector.
