OSK-UOB Thematic Growth Fund
Making your money work for you

Investment Objective

The Fund aims to provide investors with medium to long term* capital appreciation through investments in securities of Malaysian companies that will benefit from evolving domestic and/or global trends.

*Note: "medium to long term" in this context refers to a period of between 3 - 7 years.


Investment Policies and Strategies


The Fund will focus on a minimum of 3 themes from the evolving domestic and/or global trends identified by the Manager as having strong potential to outperform the benchmark return of 8.00% growth per annum in Net Asset Value of a Unit.

The Manager views Malaysia as dynamic, with a high-growth and rapidly expanding economy, undergoing long term structural changes. Our strategy is to identify the said themes in its early phase to capitalize on its growth. After identifying the most promising themes, the Manager will proceed to select companies with strong fundamentals and attractive valuations. Undervalued securities are uncovered through intensive and independent fundamental research.

Within a theme, our focus is on companies with

a)   Sustainable business model;
b)   Ability to expand locally and/or regionally;
c)   Ability to deliver above average growth;
d)   Consistently strong underlying profitability;
e)   Reasonable valuations; and
 f)   Strong balance sheet.

The portfolio's asset allocation will comprise as follows:


Up to 98% of Net Asset Value - Investments in equity and equity-related securities of Malaysian companies that will benefit from evolving domestic and/or global trends.
 
2% - 100% of Net Asset Value - Investments in fixed income securities, money market instruments, cash and deposits with licensed financial institutions.
 
Hence, the Fund will generally have an equity exposure of up to 98% of the Fund's Net Asset Value to generate returns to the Fund. However, the Manager may lower the equity exposure of the Fund in favour of fixed income securities such as government bonds and corporate debt securities and which include money market instruments in order to help achieve the benchmark return and/or to help preserve capital. Accordingly, the Fund's exposure to fixed income securities may increase up to 100% of the Fund's Net Asset Value.
