1 FUND REVIEW All data as at 31 July 2014 unless otherwise stated Eastspring Investments Funds Monthly Income Plan 1 FUND UPDATE Investment objective The investment objective of the Eastspring Investments Funds - Monthly Income Plan (the Fund ) is to seek to provide investors with regular income and capital growth by investing: (i) 30% to 70% of its assets into the Luxembourg domiciled Eastspring Investments - US High Yield Bond Fund; and (ii) 30% to 70% of its assets into the Luxembourg domiciled Eastspring Investments - Asian Bond Fund, (collectively, the Underlying Funds ). The Fund may in addition, at Eastspring Investments (Singapore) Limited s ("the Manager") absolute discretion, invest up to 20% of its assets in any other Asia Pacific investments (including real estate investment trusts, dividend yielding equities and any other sub-funds of the Eastspring Investments, subject to the prior approval of the Authority where necessary). COMMENTARY Market overview US High Yield Bond 2 In July, US high yield fixed income delivered its first month of negative performance during the year, returning -1.32% and reducing year-to-date gains to 4.24% 3. Negative performance was primarily driven by spread widening; credit spreads increased 51bps and ended the month at 404 bps above duration-matched Treasuries 4. Retail investors became more cautious during the month. Negative headlines regarding valuations and a tempered outlook for future performance contributed to investor anxiety. Asian Bond 5 - In July, the Asian USD Bond market posted another month of positive return as seen by the 0.72% gain of the JPMorgan Asia Credit Index. The resilient performance of the Asian bond market was attributed to generally tighter credit spreads and coupon accrual; although modest increases in US interest rates offset the gains somewhat. On a year-to-date basis, Asian USD Bonds has returned +6.63% in USD terms. The positive performance was driven primarily by credit spread compression and coupon accrual. Additionally, yield declines at the long end of the US Treasury curve also boosted performance of long-dated Asian USD-denominated bonds. Fund performance During the month, the Fund s Class A and Class M were both flat (0% bid-to-bid in SGD terms and both -5.0% offer-to-bid), whilst the Fund benchmark dropped 0.3% in SGD terms. Class M (RMB hedged) edged up by 0.1% (bid-to-bid) in CNH terms (-4.9% offer-to-bid), whilst the Fund benchmark declined 0.4% in CNH terms. Year-to-date, the Fund s Class A and Class M both increased 5.4% (bid-to-bid) in SGD terms (both +0.1% offer-to-bid), whilst the Fund benchmark also increased 5.4% in SGD terms. Class M (RMB hedged) rose 6.0% (bid-to-bid) in CNH terms (+0.7% offer-to-bid), whilst the Fund benchmark rose 4.9% in CNH terms. 1

3 Factors affecting performance The Fund s outperformance in July was mainly contributed by the off-benchmark allocation to equities and the security selection effect of Eastspring Investments US High Yield Bond Fund 2. Year-to-date, the largest positive contributor to the Fund performance is the off-benchmark allocation to equities, which increased 13.7% in SGD terms over the same period. Security selection within Eastspring Investments Asian Bond Fund and Eastspring Investments US High Yield Bond Fund 2 also added value. Eastspring Investments US High Yield Bond Fund 2 In July, exposures to cash contributed positively. On the other hand, the overweight to Arch Coal Inc (ACI) and Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) were the primary detractors. Year-to-date the overweight to United Continental Holdings (UAL) unsecured longer dated paper and the overweight to Atlas Energy Holdings (ARP) contributed positively. However the cash position, as well as the overweight to Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) and the underweight to Energy Future Holdings (TXU) detracted value. Eastspring Investments Asian Bond Fund In July, overweight in high yield corporates and Indonesian government bonds contributed positively to performance. However, the duration overweight in investmentgrade corporates detracted from performance. Year-to-date the increased exposure to long-dated investment grade credits since April this year, and the offbenchmark exposure to Indonesian Rupiah bonds also contributed positively. The underweight in selected high yield sovereign issues, such as Pakistan, detracted from performance. Strategy & outlook The US macro data has firmed over the past quarter and inflation appears to have passed an inflection point. This has brought forward expectations on when the US Federal Reserve will pivot. Developments in the labor market are no longer consistent with zero interest rates. Trend unemployment claims are now back to levels when the US economy was last at full employment. Although the broad stock market in the United States and World Index has pushed to new all time highs, weakness in growth sensitive sectors and bond yields, might suggest some near term caution is warranted. The Fund manager continues to believe that an earlier anticipated pivot by the US Federal Reserve might contribute to a rapid and disruptive rise in US short rates (the cost of capital) and the US Dollar. The Fund maintains its preference for US high yield (target allocation: 50%) over Asian US dollar bonds (40%). The former has historically been relatively less susceptible to a rise in government bond yields. US high yield, with its higher absolute yield level, offers more carry to offset any negative impact from a rise in government bond yields. Additionally, the Fund manager continues to remain confident in the credit fundamentals of the US high yield corporates. Debt service and leverage metrics, as well as debt maturity profiles remain very healthy for the US corporates. Singapore dividend stocks and REITs continue to offer value given their attractive yields and sound fundamentals. The Fund maintains its 10% target allocation. Focus remains on investing in companies with strong balance sheets, visible and resilient recurring cashflows to support dividend payouts. The overall Fund s running yield is 5.8% as of 31 July
