Investment Objectives

This Fund seeks to provide a diversified domestic Shariah-compliant investment portfolio with a medium to long term investment horizon, which historically offered solid performance and is generally less volatile when compared to the broader equity market.
Note:
“medium to long-term” in this context refers to 3 years or more. Any material change to the investment objective of the Fund would require Unit Holders’ approvals..

Asset Allocation

  • Minimum of 70% – 98% of the Fund’s NAV in Shariah-compliant equities listed on BURSA Malaysia; and
  • Minimum of 2% – 30% of the Fund’s NAV in cash and cash equivalent.

TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POSITION

To help achieve the Fund’s objective, in the event of a volatile market or any adverse condition that could affect the Fund, the Manager may take a temporary defensive position in attempting to respond to those conditions and preserve the long term investment returns of the Fund.

This defensive position may take the form of a temporary reduction in the exposure to the investments affected by the adverse conditions and the replacement thereof with investments which the Manager may consider to preserve the value of the Fund although not necessarily meeting entirely the asset allocation of the Fund for a temporary period. Such defensive position may include increasing the exposure in liquid assets/cash and/or cash equivalent assets to more than 30% of the Fund’s NAV.
