Risk Disclosure The Fund is suitable for investors who take medium to long-term views. As a marked-to-market Mutual Fund, the Funds net asset value, and total return may fall as well as rise as a result of stock prices and interest rates movements. On redemption of shares, an investor may receive an amount less than the original amount of investment. The Information Ratio evaluates reward-to-risk efficiency relative to the benchmark, while the Sharpe Ratio evaluates reward-to-risk efficiency relative to the risk free rate. The higher the number, the higher the reward per unit of risk.

Managers Report Local Market Review: The Philippine Stock Exchange index tacked on another winning month, advancing by 1.86% in April to close at 5,202.70. The index traded between its support of 5,000 and the psychological resistance of 5,200 for most of the month but managed to break out of the range and closed at a new all-time high of 5,218.97 on April 26. Average daily trade volume slightly declined from US$155 million in March to US$130 million in April.
GT Capital Holdings Inc., the parent company of Metro Bank, conducted its US$440 million IPO (Initial Public Offering) at Php455/share. The offering was wellreceived by the market closing at Php509/share, up by +11.87% by the end of April. Conglomerates were the top performing sector, increasing by 5% for the month of April, led by news that Metro Pacific Inc. (+8.45% MoM) and Ayala Corp. (+5.76% MoM) will team up to bid for the governments LRT-1 South Extension Project which is set to be bided out by the early part of May. The light railway project is projected to be worth Php60 billion, Php30 billion of which will come from the private sector investments. Fund Performance: The Fund outperformed its benchmark by 510 basis points during the month, returning 6.53% in April. Strategy: The local growth story remains on track. Domestic consumption, responsible for over two-thirds of the total Philippine economy, is expected to remain buoyant as OFW remittances grew by 5.6% year-on-year in the first two months of the year, reaching US$3.15 billion. Banks are expected to be re-rated as they start to report better than-expected-earnings on the back of strong trading gains and loans growth. With further developments on the governments Private-PublicProjects, infrastructure companies are also expected to outperform the market. We are keeping our year-end target of 5,500, having an overweight position on banks and infrastructure companies.
