Fund Manager's Report In October, the Fund rose +1.6% in MYR terms, outperforming the Benchmark by 65 basis points (bps) led by China and Taiwan. Year-to-date, the Fund rose +18.2%, outperforming the Benchmark by 496 bps. The global economic recovery appears intact heading into 2021 with most major economies globally posting encouraging PMI levels above 50. Barring sporadic lockdowns in Europe, the Covid situation is broadly under control with populous countries such as India and Indonesia having past its peak in cases. US and China’s relationship is unlikely to change materially given US’s bipartisan view to be more assertive against China sparked under President Trump’s first term. Nevertheless, China’s domestic economy is deep enough and its companies sufficiently innovative to navigate this hostile landscape in the coming years. We are positive on Asian equities with a view that the rally could broaden out in 2021. We are highly invested and favour growth-oriented stocks. Recently, we have increased further our positions in the areas of Chinese industrial automation and electric vehicle batteries. We would be looking out for ideas that will benefit from the broadening out of growth in the upcoming year. ^Based on the fund's portfolio returns as at 15 October 2020, the Volatility Factor (VF) for this fund is 16.310 and is classified as "High" (source: Lipper). "High" includes funds with VF that are above 13.905 but not more than 16.91. The VF means there is a possibility for the fund in generating an upside return or downside return around this VF.

The fund's portfolio may have changed since this date and there is no guarantee that the fund will continue to have the same VF or VC in the future. Presently, only funds launched in the market for at least 36 months will display the VF and its VC.
