Fund performance is sourced from Lipper for Investment Management and the benchmark is from www.djindexes.com, 30 November 2017. Performance is calculated on a Net Asset Value (“NAV”) to NAV to NAV basis with gross income or dividend re-invested. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance.
This 2:1 unit split would lower the price of the Fund’s NAV per unit, making it more affordable for investors. With this unit split, investors will receive 2 units for every 1 unit held, while maintaining the value of their holdings. Where a unit split is declared, the Fund’s NAV per unit will be reduced from pre-unit split NAV to post-unit split NAV following the issue of additional units. The value of the investment in Malaysian Ringgit will remain unchanged after the unit split.
