Investment Policies and Strategies
The fund will invest in 2-year zero-coupon negotiable instruments of deposits (ZNIDs) which seeks to protect investors' capital, and an option that derives its appreciation from upward as well as from downward movements in the EUR/USD exchange rate. Thus, the fund stands to benefit from the rise as well as from the fall in the underlying currency pair.
The fund may have yearly distributions based on the option payouts. The annual distributions would consist of two components:
- Return arising from the upward and downward movements in the EUR/USD exchange rate. The payout will be calculated based on the difference between average of six best and average of the six worst monthly movements in the underlying exchange rate.
- There is an additional payout arising from difference between average of the six best and average of the six worst monthly movements in the EUR/USD exchange rate being at or above a trigger level.
Asset Allocation:
The Fund has 2 main parts; see 1.1 Fund Structure Diagram.
Part 1 : Capital Protection - Fixed Income
The fund manager will invest at least 90% of the NAV of the Fund in fixed income securities; zero coupon negotiable instruments of deposits (ZNIDs), which will reach 100% of the initial principal in 2 years time (upon maturity). There will be up to 8 issuers by Malaysian incorporated banks and denominated in Ringgit.
Part 2 : Option linked to volatility of EUR/USD
Up to 5% of the NAV of the Fund is allocated to buy an option that is linked towards the volatility of the EUR/USD.
