Investment Objective The Fund seeks to provide positive total return by investing according to an asset allocation strategy.
Fund Category Core – Mixed asset (Islamic TDF)
Target Date 31 December 2050. The Fund will mature on the Target Date, and all Members in the Fund will be switched automatically into the Principal Islamic RetireEasy Income (“iREI”).
Investment Strategy

The Fund seeks to provide sustainable positive total return and to grow the total investment over the long term with retirement as the ultimate goal.

The Sub-Manager will construct a glide path that will guide the asset allocation of the Fund over the Fund’s tenure until its Target Date, taking into account human and market factors.

The Fund’s asset allocation will shift dynamically and progressively from a more aggressive mix to a more conservative mix as the Fund approaches its Target Date.

Currently, exposure is achieved through Islamic CIS (including Islamic ETF and Islamic REITs). The Fund may also utilize Islamic derivative instruments such as Islamic futures and Islamic currency forwards for hedging purposes, subject to prevailing GPRS.

Upon maturity, Members will be switched automatically into the Principal Islamic RetireEasy Income to begin the decumulation journey.
Asset Allocation Up to 100% of the Fund’s NAV may be invested in Islamic CIS (including Islamic ETF and Islamic REITs), Shariah-compliant equities, Sukuk, Islamic money market instruments and/or Islamic Deposits. Notwithstanding:
  • up to 40% of the Fund’s NAV may be invested in Unrated Sukuk; and
  • up to 10% of the Fund’s NAV may be invested in unlisted Shariah-compliant securities.
