Daily Morning Note – 9 November 2021

PHILLIP SUMMARY

Asian stocks looked set to rise Tuesday after U.S. equities extended a winning streak on optimism that the economic recovery can weather inflation risks. The dollar and Treasuries declined. Futures for Japan and Hong Kong climbed. Australia inched higher at the open. U.S. futures were steady in early Asian trading. The S&P 500 edged higher for an eighth session, the longest winning streak since 2017. A drop in Tesla Inc. weighed on the Nasdaq 100 after Elon Musk’s Twitter followers in a poll he set up voted in favour of the billionaire selling 10% of his stake in the firm. Treasury yields advanced amid a weak three-year auction. Meanwhile, the yield on 30-year Treasury inflation-protected securities slid to a record low, a sign of ongoing concerns about price pressures shadowing the global economy.

Ban Leong Technologies posted a 64.9 per cent rise in net profit to S$3.9 million for the half year ended Sep 30, 2021, from S$2.3 million a year ago.

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. Past payout yields and payments do not represent future payout yields and payments. Such dividend distributions will reduce the available capital for reinvestment and may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Products.
