AIA Growth Fund 2During the month, the Fund took advantage of the strong equity performance in early May to lighten our equity weightings. We took profit selectivelyon REITs and property names which have performed well and met our target price objectives. Equity purchases totaled $18.6M while sales were$22.1M. In May, we added to DBS Group and took profit on Overseas Union Enterprise specifically.The first quarter earnings season is largely over with modest downward revisions in overall corporate earnings for 2013. Among the notable 1Q2013reports in May, Noble reported a sharp miss in 1Q2013 earnings while Genting Singapore also reported earnings which were below expectations.Meanwhile, Golden Agri, First Resources and Wilmar managed to buck the weaker trend in earnings by reporting better than expected 1Q2013numbers due to stronger volume growth and processing margins.While we remain cautiously optimistic on equities in general, we also recognize our return expectations in selective stocks/sectors such as financialsand property REITs have been met and target prices achieved. We are also increasingly cautious on the lofty valuations some of the defensiveyield names have traded up to. As a result, over the past few months, we have taken profit on the sector, reducing our positions in Suntec REIT,Capitamalls Asia, Yanlord and Overseas Union Enterprise, where we felt have discounted most of the upside from asset yield compression andare looking less attractive in terms of valuations.Looking forward, we remain more constructive on companies leveraged towards a cyclical growth recovery as we see an improving externalenvironment and the potential for earnings upgrades in 2013/2014. In this regard, we remain positive in selective growth cyclicals primarily Ezion,Wilmar, Neptune Orient Lines and have also closed our underweight in palm oil through Golden Agri.In fixed income, the risk of the U.S. Treasury yields moving higher on better U.S. economic data and on expectations of asset purchase taperingthat could happen as soon at Q3, will keep Singapore rates choppy with an upward bias. Expectations of additional supply in SGS given theupcoming issuances of the 10-year and 20-year in the next two months will also add to investor caution.Performance Indicator Bid-to-bid, net dividends reinvested, SGD, from Inception to 31 May 2013.
