Fund strategy
In the target fund, a security will only be invested in only if it passes three levels of filter;
1) Suitability Analysis (filter from 77,000 global equities to 1,000 global equities)
2) Financial Analysis (filter to 300 global equities)
3) Momentum Analysis (filter to 100 global equities which will be invested by the target fund)
Some of the areas considered during the filtration process are sustainability performance based on ESG score, business activities screening for prohibited activities under Shariah law, financial statement analysis, risk/return profile, amongst others.
The investment portfolio will also go through daily optimization to ensure that invested securities meet the filtration criteria. This is done using Arabesque’s adaptive risk technology, part of the their risk management strategy.
Looks good.
Question - the performance largely correlate with the other funds and index albeit overperforming the rest; but in Oct-Dec, this fund seemed to have 'defy gravity' and continue to do well when others r not. What contributes to that?
- The chart is in MYR terms right? If in USD terms can compare with index at least? or with other USD funds available in say Singapore?
Petty question - how does one purchase USD funds in Malaysia? Would the fund house provide a daily exchange rate if I pay in RM? Or must pay USD by bank transfer in which I would lose out on bank selling rate?
