03/2018 AXA Insurance Pte Ltd Company Reg No. 199903512M 8 Shenton Way, #24-01, AXA Tower Singapore 068811 Thank you for investing with AXA We are pleased to present to you the Annual Report of AXA Pulsar, AXA Polaris and AXA Optimus range of sub-funds for the 12 months ending 31 December 2017. Bullish markets with low volatility 2017 was considered a very good year for investments in general as stock markets around the world had strong returns with very low volatility. Worries over the new US President Donald Trump initiating trade protectionist measures simmered down as he focused more on immigration measures and verbal sparring with the North Koreans. Economies around the world also reported generally better growth than previous years with unemployment numbers falling. Inflation remained weaker than expected, likely due to slow wage increases and technology disruptions bringing down costs. Global equity markets had another good year (MSCI World was up about 14% in Singapore dollar terms) with the European markets driving the best returns in Singapore dollar terms. Emerging markets have outperformed global markets in 2017 as economic growth in this region is improving as well (MSCI Emerging Markets was up more than 27% in Singapore dollar terms with China being the main contributor). Fixed income markets on the other hand continue to face challenges with the anticipation of more Federal Reserve rate hikes and the gradual ending of Quantitative Easing by the other developed nations. Government bonds were mainly flat while bonds with higher risks delivered low positive returns. We are pleased to share that our fixed income delivered mostly positive returns ranging from -2% to 11% while our mixed assets funds delivered positive returns from 4% to 12% (all in Singapore dollar terms). Our equity and alternatives funds also achieved mostly positive returns ranging from -1% to 55%, with the JPMorgan Funds - Greater China Fund delivering the highest return in 2017. Staying attuned to your needs As part of our on-going review and due diligence, we are pleased to inform you that we have added one new fund in the second half of 2017: Fundsmith Equity Fund (EUR) from Fundsmith, a new manager on our platform.
