Daily Morning Note – 21 Oct 2020

PHILLIP SUMMARY

Asian stocks looked poised to track modest U.S. gains Wednesday as lawmakers continued to haggle over an aid package to bolster the economic recovery. The dollar held losses.

Futures were little changed in Japan, as were shares in Australia. S&P 500 edged higher after the benchmark bounced back from Monday’s selloff as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi continued to negotiate with the White House on a deal near $2 trillion. Tech shares mostly shook off the U.S. Justice Department’s decision to sue Google for allegedly abusing its power. Netflix Inc. plunged in late trading after it added fewer subscribers than predicted in the third quarter and issued a forecast that missed Wall Street estimates.

An ETF is not like a typical unit trust as the units of the ETF (the “Units“) are to be listed and traded like any share on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX-ST”). Listing on the SGX-ST does not guarantee a liquid market for the Units which may be traded at prices above or below its NAV or may be suspended or delisted. Investors may buy or sell the Units on SGX-ST when it is listed. Investors cannot create or redeem Units directly with PCM and have no rights to request PCM to redeem or purchase their Units. Creation and redemption of Units are through PDs if investors are clients of the PDs, who have no obligation to agree to create or redeem Units on behalf of any investor and may impose terms and conditions in connection with such creation or redemption orders. Please refer to the Prospectus of the ETF for more details.  

Investments are subject to investment risks including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. The purchase of a unit in a fund is not the same as placing your money on deposit with a bank or deposit-taking company. There is no guarantee as to the amount of capital invested or return received.
