Summary Particulars Fund Name : ABF Malaysia Bond Index Fund Category of Fund : Fixed Income Exchange Traded Fund Type of Fund : Income Benchmark Index : iBoxx® ABF Malaysia Bond Index Investment Objective : A listed bond fund that is passively managed against the Benchmark Index and the returns will be expected to correspond closely to the performance of the Benchmark Index Investment Scope : Includes RM denominated sovereign, quasi-sovereign and supranational's debt securities, derivatives (including options and futures on Malaysian interest rates, underlying securities and/or on the Benchmark Index) and cash and cash equivalents Investment Strategy : A passive strategy whereby the Manager aims, by way of representative sampling, to achieve a return on the Fund Assets that closely tracks the returns of the Benchmark Index Investors’ Profile : The Fund is designed for investors who seek an "index-based" approach to investing in a portfolio of RM denominated Government and quasi-Government debt securities. Units may also be used as an asset allocation component or as a trading instrument. Whilst the Fund mainly invests in a portfolio of bonds issued by the Government and other Index Securities, the Fund itself is not guaranteed by the Government or any Government agency. Unlike most conventional unit funds and mutual funds, which are only bought and sold at closing NAV, the Units have been designed to be tradable in the secondary market on Bursa Securities on an intra-day basis, and to be created and redeemed principally in-kind in a Creation Unit and Redemption Unit or multiples thereof at the NAV calculated with respect to each Dealing Day. These in-kind creation and redemption arrangements are designed to protect ongoing investors from adverse effects on the portfolio of the Trust that could arise from frequent cash creation and redemption transactions.
