The encouraging performance of the Fund can be attributed to the resilient Malaysian consumer sector and strong domestic demand. This is also evident through the investment team’s stock picks in companies with proven track record, high dividend payout and steady sales growth.

This also marks the first income distribution for HLHKEOF. The Fund has delivered an astounding return of 18.06%* since its inception in 2009 up till 31 March 2013. Hong Kong is the key financial centre where opportunities in China and the international economy converge. Hong Kong is expected to benefit from the long-term economic growth of China.
