Source: Oasis Crescent Capital (Pty) Ltd (Target Fund’s Investment Manager) Fund Performance (as at 31 March 2018) Cumulative performance over the period (%) 120.00 100.00 80.00 60.00 Target Fund Manager's Commentary 40.00 The global economy entered 2018 with a synchronised upswing firmly underway, driven by improving manufacturing output, trade volumes and commodity prices. In January 2018, the IMF upgraded its forecasts further and now expects global economic growth to firm to 3.9% in both 2018 and 2019, after 3.6% in 2017, a pace comfortably above the 3.2% recorded in 2016, when there were widespread concerns over secular economic stagnation. The synchronised global economic upswing has led to narrower output gaps and, together with higher oil prices, has provided the basis for reflation. However, inflation increases have remained measured suggesting some economic ‘slack’ is still prevalent in key economies. From 0.8% in 2016, the IMF projects inflation in Developed Markets will average 1.7% in 2018 and 2.1% in 2019, in line with most central bank’s target levels. 20.00 0.00 -20.00 -40.00 -60.00 Apr-06 Global Equity markets extended their strong run into January 2018 supported by the global macro recovery and higher earnings expectations in the US post the tax reforms. The momentum was disrupted in February and market volatility has risen sharply as investors fret over the impact of the US Fed rate hike cycle on inflation and funding costs, increasing risk of a trade war emanating from the imposition of the trade tariffs by the US and more recently the threat of regulation on the megatech companies. Despite the recent contraction, most global indices are still trading at close to the long term average on key valuation metrics, driven by technology stocks. With increasing volatility and geo-political risks, we believe some caution is warranted and stock picking will be even more critical to generate long term value. During uncertain times, the market is likely to draw greater distinction between low and high quality companies which should play out favourably for our portfolio positioning. Since inception of the Oasis Crescent Global Equity fund, we have constantly maintained a Beta less than that of the DJIM, illustrating that the fund's market-related risk has been kept low. The portfolio offers significantly higher sustainable Return on Equity than the DJIM while trading at substantially discounted valuations across most metrics. In addition to our portfolio’s attractive valuations, a considerable number of companies are involved in share buybacks, which implies that a change in sentiment from growth to value could result in significant upside opportunity for the portfolio. The companies in our portfolio have strong balance sheets which should provide downside protection in a normalizing interest rate environment while strong free cash flow yields should allow for value enhancing opportunities to be pursued. Our companies have a proven track record of delivering strong returns throughout the cycle, but are still trading at a significant discount to the market. We are confident that our portfolio is well positioned to provide attractive risk adjusted performance for our clients over the long-term while taking on relatively lower risk.

Past performance is not indicative of future performance. Source: AmFunds Management Berhad Against the backdrop of US economic upswing, the Federal Reserve has raised the Funds Rate six times since December 2015, each by +25 basis points, to reach 1.75% in March 2018. The improving job market has supported growth in disposable income and helped underpin consumer spending. A series of tax cuts have been implemented with a view of boosting investment and employment. As things stand, the plans are unfunded and will over the long-term add significantly to the fiscal deficit. The global economy faces a number of key risks. Most importantly, the normalisation of monetary policy in developed markets, in particular the US, may cause a faster than expected tightening of global financial conditions, which could impact market valuations and increase market volatility. Steps by President Trump to add tariffs on steel and aluminum imports has led to corresponding steps by the Chinese authorities, leading to fears of an escalating ‘tit-for-tat’ trade war. Finally, China’s high level of corporate indebtedness and lack of transparency on local government balance sheets also poses a key risk to the domestic economy and, by extension, the global economy too.
