Investment
Strategy
To achieve the investment objective, 70% to 98% of the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be invested in REITs listed in the Asia Pacific region, which includes but not limited to Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. In addition to country diversification, the Fund will also diversify into different REITs sectors such as residential, commercial and industrial. The Fund will hold between 2% to 30% of its NAV in liquid assets.

The Investment Manager employs an active allocation strategy, which means the asset allocation decisions will be made after reviewing the macroeconomic trends and REITs market outlook of the respective countries in the Asia Pacific region. The Investment Manager will be targeting REITs that have been generating regular income returns and have potential for capital growth. In evaluating the suitability of a REIT, the Investment Manager, amongst other factors, will review the track record, investment portfolio, financial status, income distribution policy and cost factors of the REIT.

In an adverse market condition, the Investment Manager may increase its asset allocation to lower risk assets such as liquid assets to safeguard the investment of the Fund. During this period, the Fund’s investment may differ from the stipulated investment strategy. In order to achieve the investment objective, the Investment Manager will invest in REITs directly.
