Strategy
Investment Strategy for Fixed Income Investments
Our approach is one, which recognizes the need to exploit anomalies and opportunities as they arise. At the same time, we also seek to optimize returns (based on our interest rate outlook) at minimal risk; hence, a well-diversified portfolio with stringent credit analysis will be adopted in the portfolio.
Investment Strategy for Equity Investments
In managing the equity portfolio, we employ a combination of top down and bottom up investment techniques, recognizing that these are not mutually exclusive processes. The disciplines governing these processes are closely intertwined and the interaction between asset allocation determination and stock selection is a strong one. Although we take into account the macroeconomic picture, our approach is value driven with emphasis on growth.
We will constantly access all upcoming IPOs and use research and statistical information on IPOs in selecting stocks for the equity portfolio. This research analyse the business, fundamentals, financial results, management control issues and proposed valuation of the IPO. We also employ proprietary statistical information on IPO performance trends, number of pending IPOs, industry sectors and valuation trends to determine the overall tone of market activity. Other information sources used by us include the IPO's prospectus, the results of discussions and meetings with management, periodic corporate financial reports, press releases, general economic and industry data supplied by government agencies and trade associations and research reports prepared by brokers.
Asset Allocation:
- Min of 85% in Fixed Income Securities and money market.
- No more than 15% in IPOs. (If no availability of quality IPOs, then the Fund will have all its assets in fixed income securities and money market.
