About the Investment Strategy

  • The Investment Manager views Singapore as dynamic, high-growth and rapidly expanding. The Investment Manager believes that a combination of rapid market expansion and consolidation of the sell-side community has resulted in a growing section of the market being under-researched.
  • The Managers have found that companies with large capitalizations (i.e. large cap stocks) have extensive coverage from the sell-side community while middle capitalization companies (i.e. mid-cap stocks) and small capitalization companies (i.e. small-cap stocks) are under-covered by sell-side community. As a result, the Managers' strategy when investing in large-cap stocks is to use a systematic, thematic approach in information gathering and analyses to capture periodic market mis-pricing in the large-cap stocks area where there are sufficient market signals and data points available. The Managers intend to devote more of their internal research resources to seek out and analyse mid-cap and small-cap stocks where opportunities for significant securities mis-pricing are more abundant.

In addition, the interest rate for the CPF Special Account will be pegged to the yield of 10-year Singapore government bond plus 1%.
