FAQs

What is the investment objective?

The investment objective of the equity fund is to achieve long term capital growth by investing mainly in quoted equities in CSE.

Where will the funds be invested in?

The fund may invest into the following;

  1. Equity: Max of 97%, Min 50%
  2. Fixed Income: Max of 50%, Min 3%
What are the risks?

The risk profile of the fund is high as the fund will be investing listed equities, which are subject to volatility. The following details the key risks and our strategy on mitigating these risks.

  • Equity risk - The fund invests into listed equities/equity linked, where the market value of the individual stocks/linked are subject to changes on a daily basis. This can lead to a substantial decline in the fund performance. We mitigate this risk by basing our investment in equities on thorough fundamental analysis while leveraging our team’s substantial expertise in global capital markets.
  • Interest rate risk - The fund invests in short term fixed income instruments which exposes it to interest rate movements. As such, and significant increase/declines in interest rates will lead to an impact in short term fund performance, depending on the exposure to short term fixed income instruments.
  • Credit risk - This is the risk that an issuer of a debt obligation will not or is unable to pay the interest and/or the capital. As a mitigating strategy, the fund will only invest its cash in short term Government Securities, which carry sovereign risk ratings.
  • Inflation risk - Risk that inflation will exceed investment returns leading to negative real returns. This risk sees a substantial level of natural mitigation as short-term interest rates react rapidly to inflation and the Fund is predominantly exposed to short-term interest rates.
  • Liquidity risk - This is the risk that the Fund may not be able to readily liquidate an investment into cash or will have to liquidate at a substantial discount which would impact performance. We mitigate this risk by keeping part of the Fund’s assets in highly liquid instruments such as treasury bills as well as through the inherently short duration of the Fund.
