Important Information

1. The Fund will aim to tap into global equity growth via an active asset allocation strategy that is applied between a Growth Asset (global equities) and a Safe Asset (S$ cash instruments) at all times during the life of the Fund. Initial allocation to the Growth Asset is expected to be between 45% and 75%. This allocation percentage should range between zero and the initial allocation percentage throughout the life of the Fund. However in the event of sustained equity market decline, the Fund's exposure to the Growth Asset may fall substantially such that the Fund is comprised almost entirely of the Safe Asset. In such circumstances, the Fund may be terminated.

2. The Minimum Floor on each dealing day is equal to 85% of the last highest price reached on any prior dealing day. This Minimum Floor is on a best efforts basis only and is expected to be achieved provided that equity markets do not suffer a sudden extreme downward movement greater than a defined level (the "Gap Factor"), which will be determined after the inception of the Fund and is expected to be within the range of 20% to 33%. The Minimum Floor is not guaranteed and is also subject to credit risk, i.e. risk of default of the issuers of the bonds within the funds which the Fund invests in and/or the financial institutions in which deposits are placed in, for the Safe Asset.

3. If the 6th or 21st of each month is not a business day, then the Dealing Day will be the following business day.
