KEY RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
You should not invest in this Fund if you do not understand or are not comfortable with the accompanying risks.
Interest Rate
Risk:
The fund invests in short term domestic fixed income securities, exposing investors to the risk of loss arising

that may lead to a rise in interest rates include adverse market conditions, issuer-specific factors/ events and/
or negative developments in domestic political and economic conditions.
Liquidity Risk:
Investors are exposed to the risk of loss due to the fund’s inability to convert security holdings to cash
immediately or in instances where conversion to cash is possible but at a highly disadvantageous price due to
limited buyers/ sellers in the market, low trading volumes or market disruptions, among other reasons/ factors.
Credit/Default
Risk:
Investors are exposed to the risk of loss due to the failure of the borrower/ debt issuer to make timely interest
and/ or principal payments on its deposit liabilities, loans, bonds or other debt instruments due to a

ability to repay financial obligations such as negative developments in domestic political and economic

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.
