Available Portfolios Member Choice Wealth Creation Wealth Preservation Capital Protection Guarantee Money Market Shari’ah Compliant Life Stage

Market Linked Portfolios  Returns generated directly from the market  No guarantee of capital protection  Should provide better returns than Guarantee portfolio  Ideal for members with long-term investment horizon

Wealth Creation  Balanced portfolio with flexible asset allocation.  Aims to achieve inflation + 7 % in the long- term.  Potentially high volatility. Equity exposure may range from 45% to 75%  Normally members more than 10 years from retirement

Wealth Preservation  Positive return portfolios with some exposure to higher risk balanced portfolios  Aims to achieve inflation + 5 % in the medium to long-term  Aims to preserve wealth in real terms while maintaining exposure to growth assets  Lower equity exposure and risk than Wealth Creation  Normally members with five to 10 years from retirement

Capital Protection  Aims to minimize the risk of negative returns over the short-term  100% of capital and growth declared is guaranteed on retirement, withdrawal, retrenchment, death and disability  A positive return portfolio with no explicit guarantees provided  Aims to achieve inflation + 3 % over 3 years  Market linked portfolios (excl Money Market) should outperform this portfolio over long term  Normally members with less than five years to retirement

Money Market  100% money market instruments  Lowest risk profile  Suitable for investors who have a low appetite for volatility risk, investors with short-term investment horizons  Normally members within one year from retirement

Guarantee Portfolio  Smooth bonus portfolio (underlying assets diversified exposure to all asset classes)  Objective to achieve inflation + 3.5% over longer term.  Fixed guarantee on capital, contributions and declared positive investment returns (on benefit payments and other specified events)  Returns declared monthly in advance, once declared cannot be taken away  Switch at book value (10% of assets limit)  Suitable for risk averse investors (close to retirement/avoid volatility of full market-linked investments)

Risk Profile – Where do I fit in? The most important factor is: How much risk can I take?

Risk Profile – Where do I fit in?  Member’s investment horizon - i.e. duration of membership of the Fund  Member’s dependence on Fund’s assets  Member’s tolerance for investment risk

Guidelines for Investment Choice  Members who fall within the following categories should consider the applicable portfolios: Members younger than 53 – Wealth Creation Members between 53 and 60 – Wealth Preservation Members 60 years and older – Capital Protection

LifeStage Model – Default/Trustee Choice  Based on the assumption that younger members can accept more risk due to their long investment time horizon  As a member ages, his/her risk is reduced by reducing his/her equity exposure  Portfolio suitable for members who are uncomfortable with making an investment choice
