1. Background
The AJA MPF - Prime Value Choice (the "Scheme") is a master trust scheme established by a master trust deed dated 31st January 2000, as amended (the "Trust Deed"). The sponsor of the Scheme is AJA Company Limited (the "Sponsor"). The trustee of the Scheme is AJA Company (Trustee) Limited (the "Trustee"). The investment managers of the Scheme are PineBridge Investments Hong Kong Limited, JF Asset Management Limited, Allianz Global Investors Asia Pacific Limited (ceased to be an investment manager of the Scheme on 15th November 2018), Amundi Hong Kong Limited and FIL Investment Management (Hong Kong) Limited (the "Managers"). The Scheme is registered under the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance (the "MPF Ordinance") and has been authorised by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong. (Not, I)
Whilst the Scheme has been designed to ensure that participating employers can comply with the requirements of the MPF Ordinance in respect of those employees covered by MPF legislation, it is also possible for self-employed persons and non-employed persons to join the Scheme. If an employee member changes employment, he/she can leave the whole or any part of his/her accrued benefits in the Scheme and become a personal account member. Employees, self-employed and nonemployed members are all collectively referred to as "Scheme members" hereinafter.
Mandatory contributions in accordance with the MPF Ordinance are fully vested and belong immediately to Scheme members from the date the contributions were received by the Trustee. Participating employers, employees and self-employed members can choose to make additional voluntary contributions at their own discretion. However, benefits accruing on employers' voluntary contributions need not belong immediately to the employees, but will be subject to a vesting scale determined by length of employment or other conditions.
In accordance with the Trust Deed of the Scheme, the Trustee must procure that the trust assets of the Scheme members are invested in constituent funds. During the year, twenty-eight constituent funds (No1,,i, each having a separate and distinct investment objective and policy, were offered exclusively for Scheme members' selection. They are free to allocate their accrued benefits to one or more of the constituent funds in ratios (at 5 percent intervals) that best suit their investment objectives and constraints.

26. Age 65 Plus Fund The Age 65 Plus Fund is a feeder fund investing entirely in an approved pooled investment fund, namely, the Vanguard Income Fund. The investment objective of the Age 65 Plus Fund is to provide stable growth to Members in a globally diversified manner.
The investment manager of the Vanguard Income Fund will adopt a passive investment strategy in managing the portfolio by investing substantially all of the assets in constituent securities included in the Reference Portfolio of the Age 65 Plus Fund using sampling techniques. The investment manager of the Vanguard Income ·fund will seek to hold a range of securities that, in the aggregate, approximate the Reference Portfolio of the Age 65 Plus Fund in terms of the key characteristics: (i) for the equity investments, they will consist of a broadly diversified collection of stocks that approximate those included in the Reference Portfolio of the Age 65 Plus Fund in terms of factors such as country weightings, industry weightings, market capitalization and other financial characteristics of stocks; and (ii) for the bond investments, they will be made in consideration of factors such as country weightings, duration and cash flow. At the time of launch, the Reference Portfolio of the Age 65 Plus Fund is identified as follows: 20% FTSE MPF All-World Index (HKD unhedged total return)+ 77% Citi MPF World Government Bond Index (HKD hedged total return) + 3% cash or money market instruments providing a return at MPF Prescribed Savings Rate (HKD unhedged total return). The Reference Portfolio is subject to change from time to time. Please visit www.hkifa.org.hk for further information.
Sampling techniques are an approach whereby the investment manager of the Vanguard Income Fund tracks the Reference Portfolio of the Age 65 Plus Fund by investing in a representative portion, or sample, of the full list of the constituent securities of the Reference Portfolio of the Age 65 Plus Fund such that the overall characteristics of the portion of securities invested by the Vanguard Income Fund would be similar to those of the full list of constituent securities of the Reference Portfolio of the Age 65 Plus Fund.
Under such sampling techniques, the vast majority of the Vanguard Income Fund's holdings will be constituent securities that are within the universe of the Reference Portfolio of the Age 65 Plus Fund, except in limited circumstances where it is in the best interest of the Vanguard Income Fund. Such limited circumstances may include but not limited to where:
(i) it is not possible or it is difficult to buy or hold constituent securities ( e.g. due to liquidity or restrictions of ownership of such constituent securities);
(ii) the holding of non-constituent securities which were originally constituent securities is, in the opinion of the investment manager of the Vanguard Income Fund, more cost efficient to reflect the overall characteristics of the Reference Portfolio of the Age 65 Plus Fund;

28. China HK Dynamic Asset Allocation Fund The China HK Dynamic Asset Allocation Fund is a feeder fund investing entirely in an approved pooled investment fund, Value Partners Asset Allocation Fund, a sub fund of Value Partners Choice Investment Funds. The objective of the China HK Dynamic Asset Allocation Fund is to aim to achieve long-term capital growth potential with medium-high volatility through the Value Partners Asset Allocation Fund which (i) mainly invests in Hong Kong and China equities and debt securities, with up to 9% of its assets investing in exchange-traded funds that track the price of gold, and (ii) performs dynamic asset allocation. The China HK Dynamic Asset Allocation Fund is suitable to investors who are willing to accept an above average level of risk in order to aim to achieve long-term capital growth potential.
Depending on the China and Hong Kong market conditions, Value Partners Asset Allocation Fund may, through investing in other approved pooled investment funds, allocate between 10% to 90% of its assets to Hong Kong and China equities, with the remaining balance mainly invested in Hong Kong and China debt securities (including debt securities that are denominated in offshore Renminbi, "Offshore RMB Bonds") and up to 9% of its assets investing in exchangetraded funds that track the price of gold.
The equities will be selected from the FTSE MPF Hong Kong Index by the adoption of a screening model, which aims to identify investment opportunities within the FTSE MPF Hong Kong Index through analyzing multiple quantitative data such as valuation, return on equity, volatility, and market capitalisation.
The majority of the debt securities will be China and Hong Kong debt securities issued by (i) companies or issuers listed, established in or operating principally in·, or which derive or are expected to derive a significant portion of their earnings or revenues from or which have part of their assets, production activities or other business interests based in or related to China and/or Hong Kong, and (ii) governments and government related entities in China or Hong Kong. Offshore RMB Bonds may be invested, including fixed and floating rate securities, convertible bonds and notes issued or distributed outside China by sovereigns, government agencies, supranationals, banks, corporations and exempt authorities. Currently, debt securities issued within China will not be invested. Debt securities issued by issuers (including corporations, government and government related entities) established outside China and Hong Kong but within the Asian region, and which are linked to or have part of their operations, revenue, assets, production activities or other business interests based in or related to China and / or Hong Kong, may also be invested.
Value Partners Asset Allocation Fund, through investing in other approved pooled investment funds, may invest up to 9% of its assets in exchange-traded funds that track the price of gold and are approved by the MPF A as permissible investments from time to time.
The asset allocation of the Value Partners Asset Allocation Fund will change based on its investment manager's view on the economic and market outlook, with higher allocation to equity when equity market outlook is positive, balanced allocation between equity and debt securities when equity market outlook is neutral and higher allocation to debt securities and cash when equity market outlook is negative.

General Investment Climate
1. North American Eqnity Markets
The US market continued its upward trend to new all-time highs during the final month of 2017, capping off a strong year for US equities. Markets were optimistic as the sweeping tax r.eform bill was signed into law during the month in time for the new year. Over the year, equities experienced record inflows as incremental fundamental improvement and a rosy economic outlook had been a catalyst for US equity market outperformance.
The US equity markets continued to rally into the year 2018 as continued positive sentiment from tax reform and improving fundamentals of economic growth boosted investor confidence. In somewhat of a carryover effect, the optimism of tax reform passed into law in December of 2017 led to a sustained market rally in January as indices continued to push record highs. The US market underperformed in the month of February. The sell-off in equities from end of January intensified through the beginning of February as the S&P saw the worst daily performance since 2011 related to elevated volatility. The period of elevated volatility persisted as US equity markets ended the month of March further in the red. In the second quarter, the general theme seemed to be strength in underlying fundamentals signaling a continuously strong US economy while a series of disruptive geopolitical developments tapered index performance.
US equity index performance was largely positive as the Fed expressed confidence in the US economy, drowning out the noise from trade disputes with China which were consistently headline news as the Trump administration reiterated a hard line in trade negotiations. In July, there was scattered talk regarding tariff concessions with some US trading partners but the announcement of tariffs on approximately $200 billion worth of Chinese goods rendered other trade developments secondary.
Over the one-year period ending 30th November 2018, the Fund underperformed its benchmark index by 216bps on an HKD basis. From a sector perspective, the Industrials and Utilities sectors contributed the most to relative performance while Financials and Consumer Discretionary were the worst performing sectors over the one-year period. From a growth category perspective, Mature Turnaround names contributed the most to performance while the laggards were mostly in the Mature Cyclical life cycle categorization.
The Valuation factor continued to be volatile with some reversion in July, underperformance in August, then again some reversion as September came to a close. While Value ended slightly higher in the third quarter, model performance was bolstered by steady performance in Sentiment and Quality. There was a deterioration in Sentiment performance as well as Value which led to underperformance for the model in November.
While the equity markets bounced back after a painful October, there are looming concerns for equity investors as 2018 winds to a close. We have not seen the full effect of Chinese tariffs that are being implemented and will likely hear of more US companies being adversely affected by the Trump administration's trade policy absent a longer term trade agreement between the US and China. A major theme moving forward will be whether or not strength in the US economy is enough to give investors confidence or if the continued back and forth between the US and China results in avoidance of US equities.

2. European Equity Markets
European equity markets struggled in 2018, and returns were negative for almost all countries and sectors. The index overall fell by I 0% in local currency terms, with the best-performing sectors Utilities and Pharma. Real Estate and Financials were the worst performers. In country terms Norway was the best performer, and Greece was the worst.
After a strong start to the year equities started to struggle as the blistering pace of GDP growth from 201 7 started to slow, and the slowdown was very protracted, even though the overall rate of growth for the year was above trend at around or just under 2.0%. Central banks in the region retained a very accommodative policy and credit continued to expand. Corporate earnings for the year grew by a mid-single digits, but investors remained very cagy as a series of political events overshadowed sentiment. The new Italian government caused concerns as the populist coalition threatened to cause a confrontation with the EU over budget policy, and Italian bond yields moved sharply higher, although in the event the budget was adjusted to avoid breaching rules and spreads narrowed again. The UK continued to negotiate its departure from the EU, but Prime Minister May struggled to get the deal she had agreed past the UK Parliament, which increased the risk of a no-deal departure. More importantly internationally was President Trump's announcement of trade tariffs, which had a discernible effect on trade volumes and on corporate sentiment as companies struggled to plan for the impact on global supply chains.
The fact that earnings continued to grow, despite the negative sentiment engendered by politics, meant that equity valuations fell sharply during the year, and this leaves some support for 2019, given that earnings are expected to grow this year as well. Relative to bonds and cash equities look especially attractive, but we will have to see ifthere is a positive outcome to the UK's exit process and to the trade tensions globally before trusting that sentiment will turn decisively better.
3. Pacific Asia Equity Markets
Asian equities had a challenging year in 2018. Positive tailwinds supporting markets two years ago including a synchronized global recovery, weaker US dollar and positive earnings revisions all reversed their courses and became headwinds. In addition, rising trade frictions between the US and China further exacerbated risk aversion and market volatility. All Asian markets corrected against this backdrop. Thailand and Malaysia held up relatively better while Korea, China and the Philippines suffered badly. Overall, growth sectors notably consumer discretionary and technology underperformed.
Looking ahead, there are apparent reasons why investors would remain cautious towards Asian equities. However, one principal reminder is that Asia tends to outperform the developed markets when the US dollar weakens. We have already seen it retracing some of its gains towards the end of 2018, and a narrower spread in policy rate and growth expectations between the US and the rest of the world should favour a continuous US dollar retracement.

Policy should also become a tailwind in 2019, with governments of China and Korea expected to further implement accommodative monetary/ fiscal/ administrative policies to boost domestic growth. Most importantly, we believe there are ample opportunities spanning from premium and quality businesses that we closely monitor in Asia which, at current valuation levels, are compelling long term investment candidates. The headline valuation of Asia ex Japan, as measured by trailing price-to-book, is I standard deviation below its average since 1995. Our Expected Return framework indicates the region is forecasted to generate a compound annualized return of 15.5% over the next 5 years, compared to 8.7% as of end-December 2017. Both indicators underline the possibility that much of the risks are already in the price.
Overall, considering risks to gradually subside and fundamentals remain solid, we remain constructive towards long term growth of Asia.
4. Global Bond Markets
2018 is set to be the worst year on record for returns across a broad spectrum of assets. Indeed at 89%, in USD terms this is the worst year ever with data back to 190 I, after 2017 was the best year ever by the same measure. We have seen a regime change in developed countries: between 2010 and 2017, growth was on average below trend, but central banks were doing Quantitative Easing ("QE") and keeping interest rates around or below zero and volatility kept decreasing. Over the last 18 months or so growth has generally improved but importantly for financial markets, central banks have moved from peak QE to Quantitative Tightening, resulting in assets being correlated on the downside and volatility rising sharply. The story for local currency returns might not be quite so dramatic given the dollar has had a strong year, but a similar story holds true with 2018 being very close to being the worst year on record on this measure.
The year has been characterized by a trade war between the US and mainly China, further political turmoil in Europe - this time Italy and the UK taking the spotlight - while the Fed kept the auto-pilot and raised interest rates four times this year. Government bonds in the G4 markets had a mixed performance with the US underperforming while German bunds outperforming. The I 0years UST was at 2.41 % at the beginning of the period and closed at 2.99%. JGBs moved from 0.04% to 0.09%, UK Gilts from 1.33% to 1.36% and I 0years Bunds went from 0.37% to 0.31 %. At the same time, credit markets had a very poor year with the US posting negative excess returns of l 50bps during the period while these returns were negative 220 in Europe and negative 260bps in the UK. In terms of currencies, the USD had a very strong 12 months appreciating against all GIO currencies except the NZD; the DXY index moved from 93.0 to 97.3. Finally, the oil had a volatile year, but it ended pretty much where it started 12 months ago.

5. Asia Bond Markets
2018 has been a transition year to a higher volatility regime, to the late stages of the economic cycle, and to a world of quantitative tightening. Investors have had to contend with rising US central bank interest rates, a sharp slowdown in eurozone business confidence, weaker Chinese growth and rising geopolitical concerns, including Brexit, Italian politics and the ongoing trade conflict between the US and China.
In the US, the Fed raised interest rates four times, by 25 bps each time over this period, on the back of strong and broad-based growth in the US. The rate hikes the Fed has delivered this year have brought it closer to being to the neutral fed funds rate which neither stimulates nor restrains growth. U.S. policy normalization has continued at a slow and steady pace. Over the period, The Fed has lifted its short-term Fed Funds rates by 1 00bps and started to shrink its balance sheet in an effort to normalize its policy stance and to give it added simulative capacity if needed. The ECB did not raise rates during this period; confrrmed that it will cease net asset purchases at the end of this year, in line with its previous guidance. President Mario Draghi had previously stated that the central bank's key interest rates would stay at their present levels "at least through the summer of2019".
In China, headline data pointed out to continued weakness in the economy, with decade-low real GDP growth rate, due to rising internal and external uncertainties since February 2018, the Chinese government has kept stepping up its counter-cyclical economic policies. The monetary easing started with the PBoC's RRR cuts in April, July and October of 2018. PBoC introduced targeted medium-term lending facility, Targeted re-lending and MLF to stimulate bank's lending to SME's. China's Ministry of Finance reversed its fiscal consolidation measures since July 2018 and improved financial conditions of local government bonds and tax reductions.
In the local currencies space, most Asia local currencies depreciated against USD during this period, driven majorly by unexpected US exceptionalism which propelled USD higher amidst a desynchronization of global growth, and against Europe and China in particular. Trade conflict, Brexit and Italian budget stress also contributed to a challenging environment. The Marki! iBoxx Asian Local Bond Indices returned -0.88%. In Asia USD credit market, the J.P. Morgan Asia Credit Index returned -1.92% over this period as the credit spread widened on the back of trade war headlines uncertainties, tightening in financial conditions and softer economic data. Technical factor for Asian credit remained relatively weak driven by high market volatility and weak sentiment.

During the past financial period ended 30th November 2018, Japanese equities were volatile, with Japan's broad market index (TOPIX) falling over -13% in USD terms. Global economic slowdown and earnings downgrades have weighed on markets. Both sector allocation and stock selection detracted from the performance. The positive contribution from stock selection in basic materials and industrials was more than offset by the detraction from the underweight and stock selection in consumer services.

During the past fmancial period ended 30th November 2018, the fund's underperformance was driven by yield curve positioning and asset allocation, slightly offset by security selection. In terms of yield curve positioning, the fund was hurt by the underweight positions in Canada and South Africa as well as the overweight position in the US. On the positive side, the positioning in the UK and Japan helped performance. For asset allocation, the main detractor was the overweight to credit relative to sovereign as credit spreads widened during the year. On the bright side, security selection in the sovereign holdings in Italy and Spain proved positive for performance.

Overall, security selection was the major detractor over the 1-Y ear period, yet asset allocation also contributed to the underperformance but to a lesser extent on a relative basis. The Fund is a total-return focused strategy as it seeks to achieve real return outcomes with moderate volatility over market cycles which the Investment Manager measure over rolliµg 5 year cycles.

When the market was performing well in the second half of 2017, the fund had a higher weightage in equities (approx. 70%). Meanwhile, the fund only had a less than 30% weighting in the more defensive VP China HK Bond and Gold Fund. This relatively more aggressive positioning of the underlying AP!Fs was the primary reason for the fund's positive performance in comparison to its peers and the portfolio benchmark.

Trustee's Commentary (continued)
B. Supporting Information in relation to trustee's assessment framework for deriving its commentary and trustee's action, if any, to address its concerns raised in its commentary in Section A
The Board of Directors of the Trustee ("the Board") meets on a regular basis to review the result of fund performance monitoring of the AJA MPF - Prime Value Choice ("the Scheme") conducted by the Fund Review Committee, a governance committee established by the Board, which comprises of relevant functional heads. The performance of constituent funds under the Scheme are assessed regularly against relevant market medians and benchmarks. During the year ended 30th November 2018, 13 constituent funds in the Scheme aligned with or outperformed the market medians / benchmarks. Proper actions had been taken on the constituent funds with underperformance issues. This includes short term actions such as requesting investment manager to provide more regular updates on the funds' strategies and attributions and longer term ones such as requesting a full review of the investment process and an action plan for improving the fund performance.
With effect on 20th September 2018, the Greater China Equity Fund and Hong Kong Equity Fund under the Scheme ("the Relevant Equity Funds") had been restructured from feeder fund to portfolio management fund structure, allowing investment in more than one Approved Pooled Investment Fund ("APIF") and/or Index-Tracking Collective Investment Scheme ("ITCIS"). JF Asset Management Limited had been appointed as the new investment manager of the Relevant Equity Funds. It is believed that the changes will generate a more consistent return of the Relevant Equity Funds in the long run.
With effect on 15th November 2018, the Allianz Growth Fund, Allianz Stable Growth Fund, and Allianz Capital Stable Fund under the Scheme ("the Allianz Funds") had no operations and investments. The redemption proceeds of the Allianz Funds had been transferred to, and used to acquire units in, each of the Fidelity Growth Fund, Fidelity Stable Growth Fund, and Fidelity Capital Stable Fund respectively. MPF A approved the termination of the Allianz Funds to take effect on 13th March 2019. It is believed that the changes would simplify the choice of the constituent funds available under the Scheme and enhance its overall competitiveness in terms of fund performance.
The Scheme recorded a positive return during the year and the Investment Report set forth on pages 38 to 71 serves to summarise the following:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEE OF AIA MPF - PRIME VALUE CHOICE (THE "SCHEME")
Opinion
What we have audited
The financial statements of the AJA MPF - Prime Value Choice (the "Scheme") and each of its constituent funds, Growth Portfolio, Balanced Portfolio, Capital Stable Portfolio, Guaranteed Portfolio, MPF Conservative Fund, Hong Kong Equity Fund, European Equity Fund, Japan Equity Fund, North American Equity Fund, Asian Equity Fund, Greater China Equity Fund, Allianz Capital Stable Fund, Allianz Growth Fund, Allianz Stable Growth Fund, Green Fund, Global Bond Fund, World Fund, Manager's Choice Fund, Fidelity Capital Stable Fund, Fidelity Stable Growth Fund, Fidelity Growth Fund, Asian Bond Fund, Eurasia Fund, Hong Kong and China Fund, American Fund, Age 65 Plus Fund, Core Accumulation Fund and China HK Dynamic Asset Allocation Fund for the year ended 30th November 2018 and as at 30th November, set out on pages 76 to 206, which comprise:
• the statement of net assets available for benefits of the Scheme and the statement of net assets of each of its constituent funds as at 30th November 2018;
• the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits of the Scheme and the statement of changes in net assets attributable to members of each of its constituent funds for the year then ended;
• the statement of comprehensive income of each of its constituent funds for the year then ended;
the statement of cash flows of the Scheme and the statement of cash flows of each of its constituent funds for the year then ended; and
• the notes to the financial statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies.
Our opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Scheme as at 30th November 2018, and of its financial transactions and cash flows for the relevant periods then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA").
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing ("HKSAs") and with reference to Practice Note 860.1 (Revised), "The Audit of Retirement Schemes" issued by the HKICPA. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are .independent of the Scheme in accordance with the HKICPA's Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the "Code"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
72
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEE OF AIA MPF - PRIME VALUE CHOICE (THE "SCHEME") (CONTINUED)
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 2(a) to these financial statements, which states that the Trustee has resolved to terminate Allianz Capital Stable Fund, Allianz Growth Fund and Allianz Stable Growth Fund. As a result, these financial statements have not been prepared on a going concern basis, and are prepared in accordance with the basis set out in Note2(a). Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.
Other Information
The Trustee of the Scheme is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all of the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Trustee for the Financial Statements
The Trustee is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA, and for such internal control as the Trustee determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustee is responsible for assessing the Scheme's' ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustee either intends to liquidate the Scheme and its constituent funds or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
In addition, the Trustee is required to ensure that the financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with sections 80, 81, 83 and 84 of the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes (General) Regulation (the "General Regulation").
73
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEE OF AIA MPF - PRIME VALUE CHOICE (THE "SCHEME") (CONTINUED)
Auditor's Respousibilities for the Audit of the Fiuaucial Statemeuts
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. We report our opinion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with section 102 of the General Regulation, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. In addition, we are required to assess whether the financial statements of the Scheme have been properly prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with sections 80, 81, 83 and 84 of the General Regulation.
As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Scheme's internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Trustee.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Trustee's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Scheme's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Scheme to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the Trustee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH NOVEMBER 2018
1 The Scheme
AIA MPF - Prime Value Choice (the "Scheme") is established and governed by its Trust Deed dated 31st January 2000, as amended. The Scheme is registered under Section 21 of the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance (the "MPF Ordinance") and is required to comply with the MPF Ordinance and the relevant regulations, guidelines and codes issued by the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority (the "MPFA") and the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong (the "SFC").
The Scheme comprises 28 constituent funds as at 30th November 2018 (2017: 28). Each of the constituent funds is approved by the MPF A and authorised by the SFC, and has its own investment policy and predetermined fees and charges. Contributions and benefits are dealt with at the scheme level whereas investments in approved pooled investment funds and approved index-tracking collective investment schemes are dealt with at the constituent funds level.
Allianz Capital Stable Fund, Allianz Growth Fund and Allianz Stable Growth Fund ("the 3 Allianz Funds") had no investments and operations since 15th November 2018. MPFA had approved the termination of the 3 Allianz Funds to take effect on 13th March 2019.
The financial information of the Scheme comprises (i) the statement of net assets available for benefits as at 30th November 2018, and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits and statement of cash flows for the year ended 30th November 2018 of the Scheme on a standalone basis; and (ii) the statement of financial position as at 30th November 2018, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in net assets attributable to members and statement of cash flows for the year ended 30th November 2018 for each of the Scheme's constituent funds.
2 Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements of the Scheme and its constituent funds are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
(a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRS") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities (including derivative financial instruments) held at fair value through profit or loss.
Allianz Capital Stable Fund, Allianz Growth Fund and Allianz Stable Growth Fund (the "Terminating Funds") ceased operations on 15th November 2018. The Trustee has resolved to terminate the Terminating Funds and the termination has been deemed effective as of 13th March 2019. As a result, the financial statements for the year ended have not been prepared on a going concern basis. The Trustee has assessed that the values of all assets and liabilities at the reporting date approximate their net realizable value, and therefore no changes of accounting policies or adjustments have been made in the financial statements in order to reflect the fact that the Scheme, will be able to realise its assets or to extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH NOVEMBER 2018
2 Summary ofsiguificaut accouutiug policies (coutiuued)
(a) Basis ofpreparatiou (coutiuued)
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRS requires AIA Company (Trustee) Limited (the "Trustee") to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
All references to net assets throughout the financial statements refer to net assets attributable to members unless otherwise stated. All the Scheme and its constituent funds' assets and liabilities are held for the purpose of being traded or are expected to be realised within one year.
Standards and amendments to existing standards effective I st December 2017
There are no standards, interpretations or amendments to existing standards that are effective for the first time for the financial year beginning 1st December 2017 that have a material impact on the Scheme and its constituent funds.
New standards and amendments issued but not effective for the financial year beginning 1st December 201 7 and not early adopted
HKFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and liabilities. It replaces the multiple classification and measurement models in HKAS 39 and is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2018.
Classification and measurement of debt assets will be driven by the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. A debt instrument is measured at amortised cost if the objective of the business model is to hold the financial asset for the collection of the contractual cash flows and the contractual cash flows under the instrument solely represent payments of principal and interest ("SPPI"). A debt instrument is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if the objective of the business model is to hold the financial asset both to collect contractual cash flows from SPPI and to sell. All other debt instruments must be recognised at fair value through profit or loss. An entity may however, at initial recognition, irrevocably designate a fmancial asset as measured at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency. Derivative and equity instruments are measured at fair value through profit or loss unless, for equity instruments not held for trading, an irrevocable option is taken to measure at fair value through other comprehensive income. HKFRS 9 also introduces a new expected credit loss impairment model.
On adoption of HKFRS 9 the Scheme and its constituent funds' investment portfolio will continue to be classified as fair value through profit or loss. Other financial assets which are held for collection will continue to be measured at amortised cost with no material impact expected from application of the new impairment model. As a result, the adoption of HKFRS 9 is not expected to have a material impact on the Scheme and its constituent funds' financial statements.
There are no other HKFRSs or HK (IFRIC) interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Scheme and its constituent funds.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(b) Investments
All investments have been classified by the Trustee as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. These financial assets are classified as held for trading or designated by the Trustee at fair value through profit or loss at inception. ·
Purchases and sales of investments are accounted for on the trade date basis. Investments are initially recognised at fair value, excluding transaction costs which are expensed as incurred, and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Realised and unrealised gains and losses on investments are included in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the Scheme and the statement of comprehensive income for the constituent funds in the period in which they arise. Investments are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Scheme and its constituent funds have transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.
Investments in unitised constituent funds are valued at their respective closing net asset value per unit. Investments in approved pooled investment funds and approved index-tracking collective investment schemes are valued at their respective closing bid prices. The value attributable to the approved pooled investment funds which are insurance policies is the value of the right to claim against the insurance company.
(c) Derivative financial instruments
Derivatives including forward foreign exchange contracts are recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices in active markets and valuation techniques, as appropriate. All derivatives are carried as assets when fair value is positive, and as liabilities when fair value is negative. The best evidence of the fair value of a derivative at initial recognition is the transaction price. Subsequent changes in the fair value of any derivatives are recognised immediately in the income statement of comprehensive income of the constituent funds.
( d) Income and expenses
Declared investment return is recognised when declared by the underlying investment. Dividend income from investments is brought into account on the ex-dividend dates. Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method. Other income is accounted for on an accruals basis.
Expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(e) Translation of foreign currencies
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of the Scheme and its constituent funds are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate (the "functional currency"). The financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Scheme and its constituent funds.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the year end date.
Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from translation are included in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the Scheme and the statement of comprehensive income for the constituent funds.
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the Scheme and the statement of comprehensive income for the constituent funds within exchange losses. Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits within net unrealised losses on investments in constituent funds and net realised gains on redemption of units in constituent funds for the Scheme and in the statement of comprehensive income within net gains/(losses) on investments for the constituent funds.
(I) Proceeds and payments on issue and redemption of units
The net asset value of the constituent funds is computed on each business day. Prices for issues and redemptions on each business day are based on the closing valuation of that business day.
Proceeds and payments for units subscribed and redeemed are included in the statement of changes in net assets attributable to members of the respective constituent funds.
(g) Cash and cash equivalents
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise bank deposits with a maturity of three months or less from the date of placement, net of bank overdraft, if any.
(h) Amounts receivable on sale of investments/payable on purchase of investments
Amounts receivable on sale of investments/payable on purchase of investments represent receivables for investments sold and payables for investments purchased that have been contracted for but not yet settled or delivered by the end of the year respectively.
(i) Contributions
Contributions are accounted for on an accruals basis.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies ( continued)
(j) Benefits
Benefits are accounted for on an accruals basis.
(k) Transfers in/out
Transfer-in amounts are recognised when the right to receive payment is established. Transfer-out amounts are accounted for when the obligation to make payment is established.
(I) Forfeitures
If a member ceases to be a member, the part of the employer's voluntary balance not otherwise disposed of in accordance with the rules of the Scheme may be applied in reducing the contributions of the employer, or in such other manner as the Trustee may determine, having consulted the employers (including payment to the employers). Forfeitures arising from such cases which have not been designated for the benefit of existing members and which have not been returned to the employers would be treated as liabilities of the Scheme.
(m) Redeemable value/uuits
The redeemable value attributable to the Guaranteed Portfolio and the redeemable units issued by all other constituent funds, which are redeemable at the holder's option and are classified as equity in accordance with the HKAS 32 (Amendment).
Should the redeemable value's/units' terms or conditions change such that they do not comply with the strict criteria contained in the HKAS 32 (Amendment), the redeemable value/units would be reclassified to a financial liability from the date the instrument ceases to meet the criteria. The financial liability would be measured at the instrument's fair value at the date of reclassification. Any difference between the carrying value of the equity instrument and fair value of the liability on the date of reclassification would be recognised in equity.
Redeemable value/units are redeemed at the members' option. The redeemable value is issued value based on the ratio of outstanding holding balance of the Guaranteed Portfolio's net assets attributable to members as at the close of business on the relevant dealing day, and the redeemable units are issued at prices based on the respective constituent funds' net asset value per unit as at the close of business on the relevant dealing day. The net ·asset value per unit of the respective constituent fund is calculated by dividing the net assets attributable to members with the total number of outstanding units of the respective constituent funds.
(n) Interest in structured entities
A structured entity is an entity that has been designed so that voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who controls the entity, such as when any voting rights relate to administrative tasks only, and the relevant activities are directed by means of contractual arrangements. A structured entity often has some or all of the following features or attributes: (a) restricted activities, (b) a narrow and well-defined objective, such as to provide investment opportunities for investors by passing on risks and rewards associated with the assets of the structured entity to investors, ( c) insufficient equity to permit the structured entity to finance its activities without subordinated financial support and ( d) financing in the form of multiple contractually linked instruments to investors that create concentrations of credit or other risks.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH NOVEMBER 2018
2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(n) Interest in structured entities (continued)
The Scheme and its constituent funds consider all of their investments in other funds ("Underlying Funds") to be investments in unconsolidated structured entities. The Scheme and its constituent funds invest in Underlying Funds whose objective is to achieve long term capital growth. The Underlying Funds are managed by investment managers who apply various investment strategies to accomplish their respective investment objectives.
The Scheme's and its constituent funds' maximum exposures to losses arising from their interests in these unconsolidated structured entities are limited to the carrying amount of the assets. The change in fair value of each Underlying Fund is included in the statement of comprehensive income in 'net gains on investments and derivative financial instruments'.
(o) Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
3 Financial risk management
The Scheme and its constituent funds are exposed to various risks which are discussed below.
(a) Strategy in using financial instruments
Growth Portfolio The primary objective of the Growth Portfolio is to maximise its long term capital appreciation in Hong Kong dollar terms. The secondary objective is to outperform Hong Kong salary inflation over the long term. The Growth Portfolio seeks to achieve these investment objectives through a professionally managed portfolio, invested in two or more approved pooled investment funds (and to the extent permitted, any other permissible investment as approved by the MPFA and SFC).
The Growth Portfolio asset allocation policy is normally to have an equity content of 90% with the balance invested in bonds and cash. Investments may be made in any market in any country where permitted by the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes (General) Regulation (the "General Regulation").
Balanced Portfolio The primary objective of the Balanced Portfolio is to maximise its long term capital appreciation in Hong Kong dollar terms within moderate risk parameters. The secondary objective is to outperform Hong Kong price inflation over the long term. The Balanced Portfolio seeks to achieve these investment objectives through a professionally managed portfolio, invested in two or more approved pooled investment funds (and to the extent permitted, any other permissible investment as approved by the MPF A and SFC).
The Balanced Portfolio asset allocation policy is normally to have an equity content of 50% with the remainder in cash and bonds. Investments may be made in any market in any country where permitted by the General Regulation.

Capital Stable Portfolio The primary objective of the Capital Stable Portfolio is to minimise its short term capital risk in Hong Kong dollar terms. The secondary objective is to enhance returns over the long term through limited exposure to global equities. The Capital Stable Portfolio seeks to achieve these investment objectives through a professionally managed portfolio, invested in two or more approved pooled investment funds ( and to the extent permitted, any other permissible investment as approved by the MPFA and SFC). The Capital Stable Portfolio does not guarantee the repayment of capital.
The Capital Stable Portfolio asset allocation policy is normally to have the greater proportion of assets invested in bonds and cash, with the balance invested in equities. Investments may l;>e made in any market in any country where permitted by the General Regulation.
Guaranteed Portfolio The primary objective of the Guaranteed Portfolio is to minimise capital risk in Hong Kong dollar terms. The secondary objective is to achieve a stable, consistent and predictable rate of return.
Due to the nature and inclusion of the guarantee, it is possible that there may be a dilution in performance of the Guaranteed Portfolio.
Except for a small portion that may be held in cash or cash based investments for operational purposes, the Guaranteed Portfolio is a feeder fund investing solely in an approved pooled investment fund. The underlying approved pooled investment fund is a guaranteed insurance policy investing entirely in a pooled investment fund approved by the MPF A in the form of a unit trust which invests at least 70% of its non-cash assets in bonds and other fixed income instruments either denominated in Hong Kong dollars or, if they are not denominated in Hong Kong dollars, the effective currency exposure shall be hedged back into Hong Kong dollars in order to ensure that the approved pooled investment fund in the form of a unit trust has an effective currency exposure of at least 70% to the Hong Kong dollar. The remaining assets of the approved pooled investment fund will be held in cash and/or deposits. When investing in a pooled investment fund in the form of a unit trust approved by the MPF A, the underlying investments of such pooled investment fund shall be used to determine whether the relevant percentage limits stated in this section are adhered to. For the avoidance of doubt, units or shares of such pooled investment fund shall not be treated as equity investments for purposes of this section.
The investments of the approved pooled investment fund in the form of a unit trust in bonds are required to comply with the minimum credit rating requirements set by the MPF A in Guidelines on Debt Securities (Guidelines III.I), where appropriate. ·

Age 65 Plus Fund The Age 65 Plus Fund is a feeder fund investing entirely in an approved pooled investment fund, namely, the Vanguard Income Fund. The investment objective of the Age 65 Plus Fund is to provide stable growth to Members in a globally diversified manner.
The investment manager of the Vanguard Income Fund will adopt a passive investment strategy in managing the portfolio by investing substantially all of the assets in constituent securities included in the Reference Portfolio of the Age 65 Plus Fund using sampling techniques. The investment manager of the Vanguard Income Fund will seek to hold a range of securities that, in the aggregate, approximate the Reference Portfolio of the Age 65 Plus Fund in terms of the key characteristics: (i) for the equity investments, they will consist of a broadly diversified collection of stocks that approximate those included in the Reference Portfolio of the Age 65 Plus Fund in terms of factors such as country weightings, industry weightings, market capitalization and other financial characteristics of stocks; and (ii) for the bond investments, they will be made in consideration of factors such as country weightings, duration and cash flow. At the time of launch, the Reference Portfolio of the Age 65 Plus Fund is identified as follows: 20% FTSE MPF All-World Index (HKD unhedged total return) + 77% Citi MPF World Government Bond Index (HKD hedged total return) + 3 % cash or money market instruments providing a return at MPF Prescribed Savings Rate (HKD unhedged total return). The Reference Portfolio is subject to change from time to time. Please visit www.hkifa.org.hk for further information.
Sampling techniques are an approach whereby the investment manager of the Vanguard Income Fund tracks the Reference Portfolio of the Age 65 Plus Fund by investing in a representative portion, or sample, of the full list of the constituent securities of the Reference Portfolio of the Age 65 Plus Fund such that the overall characteristics of the portion of securities invested by the Vanguard Income Fund would be similar to those of the full list of constituent securities of the Reference Portfolio of the Age 65 Plus Fund.
Under such sampling techniques, the vast majority of the Vanguard Income Fund's holdings will be constituent securities that are within the universe of the Reference Portfolio of the Age 65 Plus Fund, except in limited circumstances where it is in the best interest of the Vanguard Income Fund. Such limited circumstances may include but not limited to where:
(i) it is not possible or it is difficult to buy or hold constituent securities (e.g. due to liquidity or restrictions of ownership of such constituent securities);

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a fmancial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.
Except for bank balances, the majority of the financial assets and liabilities of the Scheme and its constituent funds are non-interest bearing. As a result, the Scheme and its constituent funds are not subject to significant amounts of risk due to fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates. However, certain constituent funds are indirectly exposed to interest rate risk in respect of their underlying investment funds that invest in debt securities and money market instruments, and is reflected under market price risk.
The Scheme and its constituent funds had interest bearing bank deposits ofHK$170,356,301 (2017: HK:$143,879,731) and HK$1,210,039,061 (2017: HK$828,008,505) respectively as at year end and are therefore exposed to interest rate risk on these bank deposits.
As at year end, should the relevant market interest rates have risen/lowered by 1 % with all other variables held constant, the increase/decrease in net assets of the Scheme and its constituent funds for the year would amount to approximately HK$1,703,563 (2017: HK:$1,438,797) and HK$ 12, 100,391 (2017: HK$8,280,085) respectively, arising mainly from the increase/decrease in the bank interest income.

( d) Credit and cnstody risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will be unable to pay amounts in full when due.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at year end is the carrying amount of the financial assets as shown in the statement of net assets available for benefits for the Scheme and the statement of net assets for the constituent funds. None of the assets is impaired nor past due but not impaired.
The Scheme's financial assets which are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of bank deposits. As at 30th November 2018, bank deposits of HK$2 l l,870,745 (2017: HK$201,864,972) are placed with Citibank N.A. with a credit rating by Moody's of Al (2017: Al).
Certain transactions entered into by the constituent funds may expose them to risks associated with counterparties not able to fulfil their obligations. To mitigate this risk, the constituent funds only buy and sell through brokers who have been approved as an acceptable counterparty according to the Managers' inteqial counterparty credit review procedures.
All derivative financial instruments represent outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts as disclosed in note 9. The counterparty of these forward foreign exchange contracts is The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited with a credit rating by S&P of A (2017: A).
The constituent funds' financial assets which are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of bank deposits and investments held with the custodian. The table below summarises the assets placed with the banks and custodian at 30th November 2018 and 2017:

3 Financial risk management ( continued)
(I) Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the value of assets and liabilities will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
As at 30th November 2018 and 2017, the Scheme and its constituent funds had assets and liabilities mainly denominated in Hong Kong dollar, the functional and presentation currency, and United States dollar. Since Hong Kong dollar is pegged to United States dollar, the currency risk is considered minimal. In addition, the constituent funds have entered into forward foreign exchange contracts designed to hedge some or all of the exposure to United States dollar. Please refer to note 9 for details on forward foreign exchange contracts.
(g) Fair value estimation
The Scheme and its constituent funds classify fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
• Quoted prices ( unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 ). • Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the a.sset or
liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2). • Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable
inputs) (level 3).
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety is determined on the· basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety. If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a level 3 measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.
The determination of what constitutes "observable" requires significant judgment by the Scheme and its constituent funds. The Scheme and its constituent funds consider observable data to be such market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.

The investments held by the Scheme and its constituent funds are not traded in active markets and are valued based on quoted prices supported by observable inputs, and are therefore classified within level 2. The other financial assets and financial liabilities held by the Scheme and its constituent funds are carried at value that reflects a reasonable approximation of their fair value.
There has been no transfers between levels for the year ended 30th November 2018 and the year/period ended 30th November 2017.
(h) Capital risk management
The capital of the constituent funds is represented by the units in the constituent funds, and shown as net assets attributable to members in the statement of net assets. The amount of net assets attributable .to members for each constituent fund can change significantly on a daily basis as the constituent funds are subject to daily subscriptions and redemptions at the discretion of members. Subscriptions and redemptions of units during the year are shown in the statement of changes in net assets attributable to members. The constituent funds' objective when managing capital is to safeguard the constituent funds' ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide retirement benefits to members. In order to achieve the investment objectives, the constituent funds endeavour to invest their capital in accorda9ce with the investment policies as outlined in note 3(a), whilst maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet redemption requests. Such liquidity is augmented by the holding of liquid investments.
The Trustee and the Investment Managers monitor capital on the basis of the value of net assets attributable to members.
