| Asset Allocation | • 90% to 98% in equities and/or bonds The above asset allocation of the Fund is only indicative and will be reviewed from time to time depending on economic and market conditions. The bulk of investments will be invested over a medium to long-term period with active disposal and liquidation of the investments, a strategy to control risk as well as to optimise capital gains. This is especially so when the full growth potential of the investment is deemed to have been reduced over a prolonged bull run and the resultant liquidity may prove handy for further investments along similar lines when the market has sufficiently eased off. The External Investment Manager in making its investment decision shall at all times comply with the investment restrictions and requirements as set out in the Deed. The equity and fixed income allocation may be reduced to below the minimum levels indicated at the discretion of the Manager only during exceptional circumstances. Exceptional circumstances would include situations: i) Where there is a sharp downturn in the equity market; |
