Strategy
To achieve its investment objective, the Fund will invest a minimum of 95% of the Fund’s NAV in a portfolio of Islamic CIS that aims to provide capital appreciation through exposure into China and India markets. The Fund will invest in at least two (2) Islamic CIS at all times with investment objective that is similar to the Fund. The Provider shall issue a supplementary / replacement disclosure document and notify Members of the Fund on any amendments to the markets which the Fund may invest in.

The remaining NAV of the Fund will be invested in Islamic liquid assets such as cash, Islamic money market instruments, general investment accounts and/or Islamic deposits with financial institutions for liquidity purposes.

The Fund adopts a passive strategy by equally allocating the Fund’s NAV among the Islamic CIS which the Fund invests in. The Fund’s portfolio will be closely monitored and rebalanced from time to time to ensure that the Fund’s asset is allocated in accordance with its prescribed asset allocation.
