OUTLOOK AND STRATEGY

Market Review. The HSBC Philippine Local Currency Bond Index increased by 1.13% in August. Average bond yields

decreased by 19 basis points, mostly driven by the decrease short term tenors. Twenty year bonds outperformed for the

month declining by 35 basis points. Peso-denominated government bonds continued to see lackluster demand with daily

volumes averaging only PHP14.8Bn.

Inflation surprised the market easing to 0.8% in July. The inflation print brings the average figure for the year to 1.9%,

breaching the low end of the BSP target. Monetary Board members have adjusted inflation forecasts for 2015 from 2.1% to

1.8%.

The Bureau of Treasury announced a bond exchange wherein a minimum of PHP 50Bn will be issued in 10 and 25-year

bonds. Holders of eligible outstanding government securities may opt to swap bonds to the new 10 or 25 year bonds.

Market players will likely focus on the exchange in the near term.

Fund Performance. The Fund gained 0.08% in August, missing the benchmark by 26 basis points. It underperforms the

benchmark on a year-to-date basis by 85 basis points with a return of 0.85%.

Fund Strategy. The fund will maintain its duration of less than 1 and will continue to diversify into corporate notes and

bonds for yield enhancement. Market liquidity coupled with well-anchored inflationary expectations may continue to keep

short term rates relatively low.
