Any material change to the investment objective of the Fund would require Unit Holders’ approval.

Investor Profile The ideal investor for this fund should have the following characteristics:
  • Willing to accept risks for returns presented by the stock market;
  • Want to capitalise on the value investment approach when investing in equity markets; and
  • Possessing an investment horizon in excess of 5 years.
 
Benefits for Investors Provides investors with an alternative approach when investing in equity markets. Value Investments do not necessarily behave in a similar fashion when compared to growth oriented investments.

This is generally due to the fact that value funds are normally associated with neglected or “out-of-favour stocks” while growth funds are focused on stocks with the above average growth.

 
Specific Benefits of Investing in AMBVTF Free Insurance Protection Coverage for AMBVTF
Eligible Unit Holders (natural persons) of AMBVTF will be given free Group Personal Accident (GPA) insurance coverage. Unit Holders holding a minimum of 2,000 Units and above will automatically be covered under the GPA insurance coverage. The sum covered would be RM0.50 for every Unit held subject to a minimum investment of 2,000 Units and maximum coverage of RM200,000.
 
The GPA Insurance Coverage covers:
  1. Death due to accidental causes only;
  2. Total Permanent Disability (TPD) due to accidental causes; and
  3. Funeral expenses as follows:

                     Units               Funeral Expenses
             2,000 to 49,999             RM1,000
           50,000 and above           RM2,000

While the policy is in force, the amount of coverage shall be based on the amount of Units held at the time of accident which led to claim.

Eligible Unit Holders must be aged between 18 and 69 years old. The GPA coverage ceases automatically when you attain the age of 70 years old. Eligible principal Unit Holder and jointholder(s) will be covered under the GPA insurance coverage but the sum covered will be shared equally.

Asset Allocation • 90% to 98% in equities and/ or debt Instruments
• 2% to 10% in cash/ money market Instruments
• Min 50% 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:

  1. Where there is a sharp downturn in the equity market;
  2. When there is high risk of capital loss on fixed income instruments due to interest rate fluctuations ;
  3. When there is insufficient liquidity in either equity or fixed income instruments for the Fund to transact   efficiently;and/or
  4. When there is redemption affecting the liquidity position of the Fund.
