Fund Category Core – Mixed asset (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 RetireEasy Income (“REI”).
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. In constructing the glide path, the Sub-Manager will take into consideration various factors such as human elements and market data.

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, ensuring an age-appropriate asset mix.

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

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