Risk Management in response to adverse market conditions, economic or political conditions
Risk is minimized by way of the diversified nature of the Fund's investments; the Fund may invest in securities in Malaysia, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The Fund will hold investment in a variety of equities and collective schemes as a means of diversifying risk. In response to adverse conditions, market, economic, political or otherwise, the Manager may adjust the investment exposure of the Fund and shift investments into cash if conditions are unfavorable overseas and vice versa. The Manager may also decide to alter the investments of the Fund and reduce equity exposure to protect the capital of the Fund and/or use futures to hedge against adverse market conditions when deemed appropriate. A defensive stance can also be taken by investing in permitted investments that have low correlation to market movements.
