For the twelve months ended 31 December 2020, the asset value of both Class SGD Acc and Class SGD Dist decreased by 3.84% and 3.81% respectively (in Singapore Dollar terms). Class SGD Acc (Hedged) and Class SGD Dist (Hedged) decreased by 2.76% and 2.85% respectively (in Singapore Dollar terms) while Class USD Acc, Class USD Dist and Class P USD Dist (Tactical Hedged) decreased by 2.16%, 2.13% and 1.48% respectively (in United States Dollar term). The Fund is sub-managed by Wellington Management Singapore Pte Ltd and the commentary that follows reflects the views of the sub-manager. In the first quarter, the Fund delivered negative returns, driven by losses across the asset classes with global equities (-8.4%), global fixed income (-4.0%) and alternatives (-1.7%) detracting from performance. Within global equities, performance was negative across the regions, led by the United States and Japan as global markets were sold off significantly during the last 2 months of the quarter. On a sector level, performance was similarly negative across the sectors, driven by weakness from Real Estate and Financials (which declined as a series of emergency interest-rate cuts by the Federal Reserve helped stabilise the financial system but also further hurt banks’ net-interest margins).
