PMA Managed Unit Trust
Discretionary unit trust investment accounts with easy access and diversification into the regional and global equity,
bonds and commodity markets.
How do we construct the portfolio?
• Fund Size of at least 50mil and above;
• Percentage growth against peers;
• Higher Sharpe Ratio;
• Lower standard deviation;
• Performance track record of preferably 3 years and above.
Potential Risk
• Currency Risk
Investment into Unit Trust funds that have exposure to foreign investments may be exposed to currency risk. Currency risk is a form of risk that arises from the change in price of one currency against another.
• Liquidity Risk
The various asset classes that the fund manager has invested into may encounter liquidity risk. Liquidity risk can be related to the fund’s ability to easily and quickly trade at a reasonable price, e.g. to sell or buy units. Should a fund comprise a security that has become temporarily or permanently illiquid or difficult to sell, the fund manager may need to sell the security at a deep discount to its fair value, which will negatively affects the fund’s value.
• Market Risk
As unit trust funds principally invest in public listed companies they are exposed to changing market conditions as a result of global, regional and national economic conditions, governmental policies or political developments. Market uncertainties and fluctuations caused by these uncertainties will affect the net asset value (NAV) of unit trusts which may fall or rise, thus causing the returns generated by the fund to fluctuate.

PMA Dividend Enhanced
Discretionary portfolio investing in local equities with the high dividend yielding stocks by adopt Phillip Proprietary
Quantitative System.
How do we construct the portfolio?
• Applying ‘Dogs of the Dow Approach’ which the studies done by Umea University and Wright State University, USA shows that it is more profitable to build portfolio with high dividend yield stock than conventional approaches of stock picking.
• Selecting top market capitalization stocks to minimises the unsystematic risk and liquidity risk.
• Disciplined and systematic, following a rigorously back tested strategy.
• Minimal human interventions bringing about more consistent results.
Income driven focused product generating returns from capital appreciation and income distribution from
selecting advantageous dividend yields.
Potential Risk
• Equity Risk
The equity paying high dividends could be from slow growth sectors because high-growth sectors such as biotech and IT pay little dividend. Careful selection of stock from universe made up of FBMKL30 and FBM70 minimises the unsystematic and liquidity risk.
• Technology Risk
The process of constructing portfolio with high dividend stock is done via Phillip Proprietary Quant Model using Python. Thus, there is a risk of imperfect algorithms which necessitate more stringent back testing.
• Liquidity Risk
Certain securities in the composition of the benchmark may be difficult to trade or momentarily unable to be traded, particularly because of the absence of trades on the market or regulatory restrictions. These market disruptions may reduce the net asset value of the Fund.

PGWA Global ETF
Discretionary portfolio that allows investors invest into ETF globally by utilizing Markowitz’s Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) ie Mean-Variance Optimization (MVO). MVO is a Python-based computer program for identifying portfolios that lie on efficient frontier based on Markotwitz’s MPT (Markowitz, H.M. (March 1952)"Portfolio Selection" , the Journal of Finance. 7 (1): 77–91. doi:10.2307/2975974,JSTOR 2975974) for which he was later awarded a Nobel Prize in Economics. The MPT is the basic portfolio model to derive the expected return and risk measures of a portfolio. Based on the MPT, the variance of return is a meaningful measure of risk given certain assumptions. The assumptions of MPT are summarised as follows:
• Each investment alternative is represented by a probability distribution of expected return over a holding period;
• Investors will maximise their expected utility and their utility curves demonstrate diminishing marginal utility of wealth;
• The risk of a portfolio is estimated based on the variability of expected returns;
• Investors’ decisions are based solely on the expected risk and return of the investment, so their utility curves are a function of expected return and the expected variance (or standard deviation) of returns only; and
• Investors are risk-averse. For a given level of expected return, investors prefer less risk to more risk.
How do we construct the portfolio?
• Globally listed ETF with minimum track record of 3 years.
• Meet minimum AUM size of US$50 million or above.
• Meet minimum requirement of 12 months average daily trading value is higher or equal to USD1mil.
• MVO identifies portfolios that lie on the efficient frontier based on assumption that investors are risk-averse where an efficient portfolio is one that gives either maximum returns per unit of risk or minimum risk per unit of return.
• It rebalance semi-annually to navigate changing opportunities and risks in an increasingly efficient market.
• It uses ETFs which offers good diversification at lower costs for rebalancing.
Potential Risk
• Currency Risk
Investment into foreign investments may be exposed to currency risk. Currency risk is a form of risk that arises from the change in price of one currency against another.
• Management Risk
Performance of the fund depends on the investment acumen of the fund manager. Inferior management of a fund can cause considerable losses to the fund which will negatively affect the returns of the investment.
• Technology Risk
The process of constructing portfolio with high dividend stock is done via Phillip Proprietary Quant Model using Python. Thus, there is a risk of imperfect algorithms which necessitate more stringent back testing.

PMA Environmental, Social, and Governance
Discretionary portfolio investing in stocks with high overall ESG rating based on the list of stocks under the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Index.
How do we construct the portfolio?
• To invest in stocks with a high overall ESG rating which is 3-star and above rating as assessed by FTSE Russell in accordance with FTSE Russell ESG Rating Methodology with a blend of top down and bottom-up approach.
• The portfolio will invest in approximately 15 stocks.
• Target to invest about 95% of the portfolio in stocks.
• Stocks that are not included in the FTSE Russell ESG Rating list or with exposure to controversies or with less than 3-star rating in FTSE Russell assessments will be assessed in accordance with PCM Investment ESG Framework/ Scorecard (“PCMESG”).
Potential Risk
• Inability to exploit/penetrate ESG market
According to the Morningstar, AUM for ESG funds rose by 29% globally in 2020 and Lipper Data showed that ESG funds account for 10% of worldwide fund assets. On domestic front, atleast of six ESG-themed funds were launched in Q1 2021. Limited investment universe is a major concern for maximizing the ESG market and further compounded by potential loss of business opportunity due to lack of first-mover advantage. Introducing right ESG product/services at the earliest opportunity would help to preserve and attract both retail and institutional investors. Furthermore, by having own internal ESG methodology aligns with socially responsible fund requirements, the company can overcome risk of limited investment universe. The rating guidelines could be further improved by descriptions to the scale of 1 (one) to 4 (four) to ensure more objective evaluation.
• Noncompliance with ESG mandates requirements
The risk of underlying stocks being removed or downgraded from ESG listing is inevitable.Thus, there is a need to have automated pre-trade control to prevent fund managers from buying non-ESG stocks. In addition, controls have put in place to identify list of underlying stocks that have been delisted/removed from ESG listing to rectify the mandates. Unregulated ESG third party data providers and agencies also further compounded the problem. The risk is mitigated by establishing own internal methodology with defined parameters. In addition, the proposal could be further improved by adding automated pre-trade controls and “cleansing” process of ESG stocks.
