Customised Portfolio for Every Investor

1. The Conservative Investor

Objective: Preserve capital, minimise risk, and generate income.
Suggested Allocation:

Why it works:
The bond fund anchors the portfolio with regular income and low volatility, while the All Seasons (Standard) provides a touch of equity exposure for gradual, inflation-beating growth. This combination prioritises security without fully sacrificing growth potential.


2. The Balanced Investor

Objective: Achieve moderate growth with manageable risk.
Suggested Allocation:

Why it works:
The portfolio balances capital preservation with long-term equity growth. The Short Duration Bond Fund adds stability, while the Growth fund and Asia Pacific equities provide higher return potential through diversification across asset classes and regions.


3. The Aggressive Investor

Objective: Maximise long-term capital appreciation.
Suggested Allocation:

Why it works:
Ideal for investors with a high risk tolerance and long investment horizon. This allocation skews heavily toward equities, especially in high-growth Asia Pacific markets. The small bond allocation offers liquidity and buffers extreme market swings, while the All Seasons fund adds global diversification.


Risks to Be Aware Of

It is important to understand that all investments in unit trusts carry inherent risks, including the potential for capital loss.

Here are some key risks retail investors should be aware of:

  • Capital Risk: Unit trust investments are not capital guaranteed. The value of your investment can go up or down depending on market conditions.
  • Dividend Risk: Although some of the funds aim to provide regular payouts, dividends are not guaranteed and may fluctuate depending on the performance of the underlying securities and the interest rate environment.
  • Liquidity Risk: During periods of market stress or low demand, certain underlying assets may be difficult to sell quickly without affecting their market price.

As always, it is vital for investors to assess these risks against their own financial goals and risk tolerance, and to seek professional advice where needed.
