WEEKLY MARKET OUTLOOK WEBINAR

PHILLIP SUMMARY

The S&P 500 edged higher Thursday, as investors contended with a mixed bag of corporate profit reports that offered a murky outlook on the state of the U.S. economy.

The broad index rose in the final hours of trading to clinch a 0.2% gain after bobbing around the flatline during the busiest day of the corporate earnings season. The tepid move obscured bigger swings in shares of individual companies that reported quarterly results.

The S&P 500 added 5.77 points to 3010.29, as technology stocks within the broad index jumped 1.5% following upbeat earnings from that sector. The Nasdaq Composite added 66 points, or 0.8%, to 8185.80, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average continued to underperform broader benchmarks, falling 28.42 points, or 0.1%, to 26805.53.

A copy of the Prospectus and PHS are available from PCM, any of its Participating Dealers (“PDs“) for the ETF, or any of its authorised distributors for the unit trust managed by PCM.  

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.

The regular dividend distributions, out of either income and/or capital, are not guaranteed and subject to PCM’s discretion.
