Interim Report

Congruix Investment Management (a registered business of Legg Mason Asset Management Singapore Pte. Limited) was formerly known as the Legg Mason International Equities division of Legg Mason Asset Management Singapore Pte. Limited (the former name of Legg Mason Asset Management Singapore Pte. Limited), and was renamed pursuant to a rebranding exercise. Some offering documents may not yet have been updated to reflect the rebranding.

This document, prepared by Legg Mason Asset Management Singapore Pte. Limited ("Legg Mason"), is for information only and does not constitute an offer nor solicitation to buy or sell any units of the Fund. The prospectus of the Fund is available and may be obtained from Legg Mason or its authorised distributors. Investors should read the prospectus prior to any subscription. All applications for units in the Fund must be made on the application forms accompanying the prospectus.

The CPF interest rate for the Ordinary Account (OA) is based on the 12-month fixed deposit and month-end savings rates of the major local banks. Under the CPF Act, the Board pays a minimum interest of 2.5% per annum when this interest formula yields a lower rate. The interest rate for the Special, Medisave and Retirement Account (SMRA) will be pegged to the 12-month average yield of 10-year Singapore government securities plus 1%. For the year 2010, the minimum interest rate for the SMRA is 4.0% per annum. After 31 December 2010, the 2.5% per annum minimum interest rate, as prescribed by the CPF Act, will apply to the SMRA. In addition, the CPF Board will pay an extra interest rate of 1% per annum on the first S$60,000 of a CPF member's combined balances, including up to S$20,000 in the OA. The first S$20,000 in the OA and the first S$30,000 in the Special Account may not be invested under the CPFIS. With effect from 1 July 2010, the first S$40,000 in the CPF Special Account will not be allowed to be invested under the CPFIS.
