Daily Morning Note – 9 Oct 2020

PHILLIP SUMMARY

U.S. equity futures opened higher after the White House appeared to shift tack and signaled the Trump administration is again leaning toward a large-scale stimulus bill. Crude oil surged ahead of a storm. S&P 500 contracts were about 0.4% higher following news that Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told Nancy Pelosi that President Donald Trump wants agreement on a comprehensive aid package. Australian shares opened modestly higher, while futures were little changed in Japan, and rose in Hong Kong. All eyes will be on the reopening of Chinese markets Friday after a week-long holiday.

BREAKING NEWS

GS Holdings announced on Thursday that its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Hao Kou Wei, has entered into a joint venture (JV) agreement with an individual, Xing Zhiyuan, to expand its businesses in the food and beverage (F&B) industry. The JV company has an existing issued and paid-up share capital of S$20,000, comprising 20,000 ordinary shares.

HC Surgical Specialists announced on Thursday that it has entered into a framework agreement with Prudential Assurance Company to provide “high-quality and cost-efficient health services” for certain eligible insured customers. Further details on the benefits available to these customers of Prudential will be announced in due course, said the Catalist-listed firm in a bourse filing. The agreement takes effect on Oct 8 and will last for at least two years.

PROPERTY developer Rich Capital Holdings on Thursday said PrimePartners Corporate Finance will no longer be its continuing sponsor from Nov 1. In a bourse filing, the Catalist-listed company said the decision was made “after deliberations and for commercial reasons”. It had on Oct 1 issued a written notice to terminate the agreement with PrimePartners. Rich Capital added that it has commenced the process of selecting a new continuing sponsor and will provide an update to shareholders when one is engaged.

SINGAPORE Telecommunications (Singtel) has deployed Singapore’s first 5G standalone trial network at its testing facility. The network offers enterprises early access to 5G to develop and trial 5G solutions, the telco said in a press statement on Thursday. It uses 3.5 gigahertz spectrum and Ericsson’s advanced Massive MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) technology to deliver ultra-fast speeds and low latency or response times.

CATALIST-LISTED investment firm Pine Capital has reached a settlement with its subsidiary, Advance Capital Partners Asset Management (ACPAM), and former interim chief executive and chairman Tan Choon Wee in relation to “outstanding obligations” from the previous settlement agreement. Mr Tan had sued the group last year, saying that ACPAM’s affairs had been conducted in a manner prejudicial to him. The group had, in April last year, called for an extraordinary general meeting to propose his removal from the board of ACPAM – when he was its sitting chief executive and director.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

This material is provided by Phillip Capital Management (S) Ltd (“PCM”) for general information only and does not constitute a recommendation, an offer to sell, or a solicitation of any offer to invest in any of the exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) or the unit trust (“Products”) mentioned herein. It does not have any regard to your specific investment objectives, financial situation and any of your particular needs. You should read the Prospectus and the accompanying Product Highlights Sheet (“PHS”) for key features, key risks and other important information of the Products and obtain advice from a financial adviser (“FA“) pursuant to a separate engagement before making a commitment to invest in the Products.

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 value of the units and the income accruing to the units may fall or rise. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of the future or likely performance of the Products. There can be no assurance that investment objectives will be achieved.  

Where applicable, fund(s) may invest in financial derivatives and/or participate in securities lending and repurchase transactions for the purpose of hedging and/or efficient portfolio management, subject to the relevant regulatory requirements. PCM reserves the discretion to determine if currency exposure should be hedged actively, passively or not at all, in the best interest of the Products.  

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. Please refer to <www.phillipfunds.com> for more information in relation to the dividend distributions.
