A 3-year annualized volatility is a global standard used to report on fund volatility as shorter time period would not provide a stable representation as well as being too sensitive to additional data points. 2

Market Review In what has been a rather uninspiring year, global financial markets continued to endure the bumpy path laid out over the final months of Geopolitical tensions including the ongoing US-China trade duel, as well as uncertainties revolving Brexit remained a bane for the most part before sentiment were eventually renewed in January To recap, the US-China trade dispute has seen tariffs implemented on US$250 billion worth of Chinese goods and US$110 billion worth of US goods. The back-and-forth retaliation between both powerhouses felt unending, at least up till end-november In a surprising turn of events, US President Donald Trump and 3
5 China President Xi JinPing agreed to a temporary trade truce at the side-lines of the G20 summit in Buenos Aires. The truce will halt any further implementation of new tariffs for 90 days, and will see both parties attempt to broker a lasting trade agreement during this ceasefire period. Despite warming signs between Trump and Xi, market cheers were quickly subdued following the partial inversion of the US Treasury yield curve; which happened for the first time in more than a decade. Yield for the 5-year Treasury note fell slightly below than that of the 2-year in December 2018, while the more closely studied spread between the 2- and 10-year Treasury continued to trend within a tight range. Historically, a full inversion of the Treasury yield curve has preceded a US recession. Amid market concerns on a potential recession, the US Federal Reserve delivered another 25bps hike in its December meeting, but also revised its 2019 projection down to 2 hikes from 3 previously. This, however, wasn t enough to quell market jitters thus prompting a broad sell-off in the final weeks of December Sentiment however was quickly reignited in January 2019, following assurances from Fed Chair Jerome Powell that the central bank would be more accommodating in steering the course of interest rates and its balance sheet normalisation. Powell also emphasised that the Federal Reserve is sensitive to risks that worry investors and is open to adjust its policy outlook if needed. Nevertheless, safe haven assets still saw notable inflows during the same time, as the 10-year Treasury benchmark yield retreated down markedly to 2.63% as of end January On Asia credits, the said space also saw investors appetite renewed along with the new year albeit the softer patch endured in With some of the headwinds appearing to be easing up (in terms of trade as well as US monetary policy), regional bonds enjoyed a positive stretch of rally in January 2019 where performances were mainly driven by strong support toward new issuances, including those from the HY and AT1 segments. Back home, the Malaysia Budget 2019 revealed in November was a mildly expansionary one; which stuck to fiscal consolidation whilst providing a social safety net to the B40 group. However, the recent slide in oil prices have raised concerns over the government s ability to meet its fiscal targets; especially due to its reliance on oil-related revenues which accounted for 31.0% of the total government revenue. The domestic bond scene endured a softer showing for the most part, as the MGS + GII space saw outflows throughout the period under review losing a collective MYR8.8 billion in the 3-month period. Foreign share of MGS+GII declined to 23.1% as of end-january. Nevertheless, healthy domestic liquidity has provided much support for the local bond scene. Yields for the 10-year MGS benchmark held steady at around the 4.07% range as of end-january On the other hand, the corporate segment has remained quite strong as well; buoyed by the lack of supply as well as domestic pick-up. The Ringgit remained as one of the better performers amongst its regional peers closing the period under review at MYR4.09 against the greenback. Investment Outlook The global economy is poised to continue to grow at an even keel albeit at a slower pace. We do not see major economic imbalances that would lead to a recession in the immediate term. With that said, caution remains a key theme still in this late cycle, and we remain mindful that uncertainty is likely to remain high in terms of economics, politics, and policies. While the temporary trade truce between US and China could provide some comfort to markets for the nearterm, there are still plenty of items to discuss and negotiate on before both powerhouses can engage in a healthier trade relationship. Nevertheless, resumption of dialogue between the two is an encouraging sign. In addition, some of the headwinds from 2018 appears to be receding with a more dovish US Federal Reserve, as well as the USD strength that is starting to top-out. According to Fed Fund Futures as of end January 2019, investors are pricing-in for a pause in interest rate hikes this year, with a chance of a rate cut in
6 Back home, the Malaysian market is likely to remain challenged amid the broader slow-down in growth, as well as the lack of expansionary stimulus. Understandably, clean-up efforts appear to be the main focus of the Pakatan Harapan government; where proactive measures have been taken to reduce operating expenditure including salary deduction for ministers, plugging of leakages and revamps across ministries could stem the bleeding. While change appears to be painful for the short-term, we are optimistic that a solid framework of governance coupled with expansionary policies that would eventually fall in place should lend to business stability that would attract more sustainable forms of FDIs into Malaysia. Treading ahead, we expect the market drivers from 2018 i.e. strong domestic liquidity and lack of supply to be carried forward into this New Year. Nevertheless, the portfolio will continue its focus on consistent income returns and capital preservation by maintaining a high level of investment in domestic fixed deposits that we are comfortable with in respect of the underlying bank s credit and fundamentals. 5
