1 Monthly Fund Update Fund Performance As at 30 April 2016, in SGD 1 month Year to date 1 Year 3 Years (p.a.) Since launch* (p.a.) Fund (Bid-Bid) (%) Fund (Offer-Bid) (%) Source: MorningStar, SGD, net dividends reinvested. The fund is benchmark unconstrained. *Launch date is 24 October Market Overview Asia ex Japan equities delivered slightly negative returns in April as the rebound in global stock prices during March was short-lived. Investor caution surrounding China and a pullback in the oil price weighed on returns. Chinese equities finished marginally down as data showed that the world s second-largest economy had grown 6.7% year-on-year in the first quarter, its lowest quarterly figure in seven years. However, there was cause for some optimism given a strong rebound in exports and better data in manufacturing and services. Hong Kong stocks finished slightly up while over the strait in Taiwan, the market declined as technology firms led losses. In Korea, stocks fell slightly as foreign investors took profits following the market s recent bounce. The MSCI AC Asia Pacific ex Japan Index fell slightly by -0.1% in April in USD terms. Asian USD credit delivered positive returns as the minor increase in Treasury yields was offset by credit spread tightening. High yield credits outperformed investment grade bonds. Indonesia sovereigns and quasi-sovereigns were among the best performers amid more positive macro news. Commodity and resources names also saw strong buying as energy prices recovered. Asian local currency bonds finished the month marginally positive, with Indonesia again being the best performer while the China names were weighed upon by rising onshore defaults. Over the month, the Singapore dollar appreciated by 0.3% against the US dollar. Performance Commentary The fund gained 0.9% in April bringing the year to date return to 1.9%. The equity portfolio delivered positive returns of 1.0% outperforming the broader market which fell slightly over the month. Our positive return was mainly due to the strong performance of our REITs holdings in Singapore and telecoms in Hong Kong, which saw demand in the low yield environment. In Thailand, the telecom name came under pressure as the company expressed interest in bidding for the band spectrum at a price which was considered to be overvalued by the market. The fixed income portfolio also delivered positive returns and performed in line with the broad market. Our Indonesia government bonds rallied on the expectation of further monetary easing, together with commodities names in Indonesia due to the recovery of commodity prices. Our financial and property names in China also performed well due to the stabilisation of Chinese economic indicators. The global 1
2 allocation also rose and slightly outperformed the Asian markets. In risk management, currency hedges added value, in particular on the AUD which depreciated by 1% against SGD. The duration hedges and equity hedges ended the month flat. Asset Allocation Strategy and Outlook In April we slightly increased the physical allocation to Asian equities to 58%, while maintained the allocation to Asian fixed income and global assets at 31% and 7% respectively. Over the month, the put option on Taiwan equities expired, and we replaced it with a put option on Australia equities. We have also rolled forward the put option on Hong Kong equities. Overall, we have increased the protection on equities and the net equity exposure remained at 55% in April. In currencies, we have reduced our hedge on USD on the expectation of the return of strong USD environment; while we have increased the hedge on AUD by 1% as more monetary easing is expected to boost the economy. Elsewhere, there was no change to the Fund s currency hedging strategy keeping our hedges on the CNH, THB and TWD in the portfolio. The overall exposure to USD & HKD was increased to 26% and the exposure to SGD was reduced to 58%. The combination of weaker hiring but better wage growth ties in with a maturing economic cycle in the US. The Federal Reserve left monetary policy on hold and we will need to see across-the-board strength in activity for the authorities to move as soon as June. The Bank of Japan surprised the market with no easing decision, which seems to imply that the policy committee feels more time is needed to judge the impact of the most recent changes before extending policy further. In China, trade data in April failed to meet expectations after a strong rebound in March, and we expect more uncertainty down the road as the economy rebalances. Our defensive income strategy is well positioned in a world where most central banks commit to the ultra-accommodative policies which suppress the yields to the lowest levels. Many Asian stock prices are still at attractive levels although risk management, security selection and nimble asset allocation remain key to navigate this environment when investing for income and growth in Asian markets. Equity Strategy and Outlook Over this month, we added our exposure to a bank name in Hong Kong with sustainable and attractive yield, which has executed effective cost cutting measures. We reduced the telecom name in Thailand as its dividend may come under pressure after the aggressive bid for mobile spectrum, and rotated into a telecom holding in Indonesia due to its benign competition, strong balance sheet and free cash flows. We continued reducing a Singapore telecommunication name due to lower earnings growth guidance and competition from internet media service delivery, which will put pressure on the dividend payment. We also continued trimming our holdings in a Thailand bank on the concern of rising Non-performing Loans (NPLs). Overall growth outlook in Asian economies remains sluggish due to weak global trade, slowing credit growth, high debt levels and emergence of asset quality cycles in some countries. We expect that revenue growth is likely to be quite muted over the next months. There is also likely to be profitability pressure during such sluggish end-demand conditions. Therefore, it is important for investors to focus on high quality companies with strong balance sheets and solid fundamentals which can offer more sustainable dividend yields. Fixed Income Strategy and Outlook In April, we bought a Macau gaming name due to its stabilising earnings, limited capital expenditure and extra earnings from a new project opening. We also bought a Chinese oil & gas name with strong government support and ready to benefit from the stabilization of energy prices. We continued buying the short-term Chinese property bonds from strong players on improved valuations. The recent measures to cool down the property markets in tier-one cities are widely expected, and the scale is likely to be relatively small given the sluggish economy. On the other hand, we took profit on a Chinese bank on rich valuation and rotated into a Chinese insurance name, which has solid solvency ratio, and benefits from the improved industry environment and regulatory requirements.
3 The market remains concerned about Chinese onshore corporate defaults which started from a very low base but we expect to see more rating downgrades in China corporates. We maintain a cautious approach to invest in Asian credits. Within the materials or commodities sectors, we prefer state-owned-enterprises (SOEs), which are strategic assets supported by the governments and less likely to fail, and we also prefer investment grade non-soe names which have attractive yields with sound fundamentals. We have kept the duration hedge in the portfolio and the portfolio duration was slightly reduced to 1.4 years.
