Core Mixed Assets
Fund Name Geography Deliberation
Maybank Global Global Launched since Jun 2019 with a fund size of MYR 351.0mil.
Mixed-Assets-i Fund The fund provides investors with a balanced approach to
(S) global companies that are ESG-compliant.
Allows investors to enjoy the best of both worlds: equity
exposure for capital growth opportunities while fixed income
exposure provides income sleeves.
Fund manager adjusts the exposure between equities and
fixed income based on market outlook, e.g. a constructive
global economic outlook may warrant a higher equity
exposure.
While the fund has a relatively short performance history, its
capabilities have been evidenced by the COVID-19 market
drawdown, where the fund manager has managed to recoup all
losses and recorded higher NAV compared to pre-COVID levels.
Year-to-date, the fund has clocked returns of 4.8%. The fund
posted a 23.7% return since inception (MYR, 31 Mar 2021).
RHB Asian Income Asia Launched since June 2012 with MYR 3.3bil AUM.
Fund The fund will actively allocate between Asian equities and
fixed income by adopting a cyclical approach to asset
allocation where the asset mix will be adjusted according to
the phases of the economic cycle.
For equities, the fund manager prefers companies that can
create true shareholder value, have a strong and stable
earnings stream and sustainable dividend yield.
For fixed income, the fund manager invests in companies that
deliver attractive yield and capital growth taking into account
valuation, demand and supply conditions as well as liquidity.
The fund recorded an annualised return of 5.6% and 6.8% over
the past 3 and 5 years, respectively (MYR, 31 March 2021).
