Investment policy and strategy The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in equities and equity related securities of undervalued listed companies which are domiciled or have significant operations in China, India and Indonesia markets which offer attractive valuations and medium-term to long-term growth potential. The target companies are companies which are traded at attractive valuations and have the potential to ride on the future recovery and growth of China, India and Indonesia.

The ‘significant operations’ means the major business of the company. The Fund can invest in companies not only listed in China, India and Indonesia, but also those that have major businesses in China, India and Indonesia markets. For example, the Fund can invest in a company with business/operations in China but listed on Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The threshold for ‘significant operations’ would be if more than 30% of total group revenue derive from China, India or Indonesia. Whereas, the ‘attractive valuations’ means stocks or companies that have valuations based on price/earnings or price-to-book ratios that are lower than the respective sector or country valuations at that time. With effect from 16 August 2021, the Fund may also invest up to 20% of its NAV in companies that are listed globally with some operations or businesses within the China, India and Indonesia to capture growth opportunities. Where necessary, we will obtain the licenses/permits for investments in countries that require licenses/permits. If we are unable to obtain the necessary licenses/permits, or the licenses/permits are revoked or not renewed (as the case may be), we will seek to invest in other accessible markets.

The Fund will generally invest between 70% to 98% (both inclusive) of its NAV in equities and equity related securities with at least 2% of the Fund’s NAV invested in liquid assets for liquidity purposes. The Fund may also invest up to 28% of its NAV in other permissible investments. The Fund’s allocation to each of the aforesaid countries will vary depending on the Manager and its delegate’s outlook for each country. The Fund may also opt to seek investment exposure via CIS that is in line with the Fund’s objective, subject to the requirement of the GUTF. The asset allocation strategy for this Fund is as follows:
  • between 70% to 98% (both inclusive) of the Fund’s NAV will be invested in equities and other equity related securities;
  • up to 28% of the Fund’s NAV in permissible investments; and
  • at least 2% of the Fund’s NAV in liquid assets.
