  • Public e-Flexi Allocation Fund (PeFAF or the Fund) adopts a mixed asset allocation approach whereby the Fund may invest up to 98% of its net asset value (NAV) in equities and/or fixed income securities; with a higher allocation to equities when seeking to capitalise on investment opportunities in the equity markets, and a higher allocation to bonds when fixed income yields are deemed to be attractive. Additionally, up to 30% of the Fund’s NAV may be invested in foreign markets to tap into broader investment opportunities globally.
  • As at 29 February 2024, 87.5% of PeFAF’s NAV was invested in equities while 12.5% of its NAV was invested in money market instruments. The Fund’s equity portfolio focused on the technology, industrial, financial, communications and diversified sectors in the Malaysia, U.S. and North Asian markets.
  • From its commencement on 3 August 2017 to 29 February 2024, the Fund registered a total return of +83.70% to outperform its benchmark’s return of -2.53%. This outperformance was led by the Fund’s selected holdings of technology stocks in the domestic and foreign markets which benefitted from the proliferation of e-commerce and digital products globally. On the domestic front, increased outsourcing from multinational corporations amid the ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions has also benefitted local manufacturers within the technology value chain.
  • For the 3-year and 5-year periods ended 29 February 2024, the Fund registered respective returns of +11.85% and +82.17% to outperform its benchmark’s respective returns of +1.64% and -1.78%.
  • Going forward, the Fund will continue to pursue investment opportunities in the technology and industrial sectors which are underpinned by the long-term structural trends of digitalisation as well as the proliferation of artificial intelligence. The Fund may also look to increase its exposure to the domestic construction sector which stands to benefit from the potential rise in government spending on infrastructure projects.
