Distributions are not guaranteed and may fluctuate. Past distributions are not necessarily indicative of future trends, which may be lower. Distribution payouts and its frequency are determined by the Board of Directors, and can be made out of (a) income; or (b) net capital gains; or (c) capital of the Fund or a combination of any of (a) and/or (b) and/or (c). The payment of distributions should not be confused with the Fund’s performance, rate of return or yield. Any payment of distributions by the Fund may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value per share. Funds with Monthly and Quarterly Distribution Frequency: Annual Dividend Yield = (Dividend amount / Reference NAV) x (No. of calendar days in a year / No. of calendar days in distribution period) x 100%. Funds with Yearly Distribution Frequency: Annual Dividend Yield = (Dividend amount / Total Net Assets) x (No. of calendar days in a year / No. of calendar days in distribution period) x 100%. *Or their near equivalent in any major freely convertible currency of the amounts specified. "N.A.": This share class does not distribute dividends.

Eastspring Investments – Asian Bond Fund COMMENTARY Commentary sources 1. Eastspring Investments (Singapore) Ltd

Market Review The Asian USD bond market (represented by the JP Morgan Asia Credit Index) posted a positive return of 1.77% in June. This was largely driven by the decline in US Treasury (UST) yields across the curve as spread returns dipped into negative territory over the month. In June,10-year UST yields fell by 38 basis points to close the month at 1.47%. Disappointing May nonfarm payroll numbers and a more dovish than expected Federal Open Market Committee statement released after the June meeting casted doubts about the US economic recovery and re-introduced uncertainty over when the next Federal Reserve interest rate hike will occur. Further pushing yields down later in the month were flight to safety flows that were triggered by the unexpected outcome of Britain’s referendum decision to leave the European Union (Brexit). Overall Asian credit spreads ended the month only slightly wider than the previous month in spite of a bout of spread widening when the surprising Brexit outcome was first announced. Risk sentiment quickly recovered after the initial shock as central banks in Asia expressed readiness in taking action to stabilize financial markets if necessary. Positive developments such as the passing of the tax amnesty bill in Indonesia also helped to boost investor sentiment. Sovereign bonds led performance over the month, followed by quasi-sovereigns and lastly corporates. Investment grade sovereign bonds outperformed over the month as their long-dated profile benefited from the sharp decline in longer-dated UST yields. Indian financials were the key underperformers among corporates. By country, Indonesian bonds outperformed across sectors as investors welcomed the passing of the tax amnesty bill. Year-to-date, the Asian USD bond market delivered a positive return of 6.54% due to overall tighter spreads and declines across the UST yield curve. Investment grade sovereign bonds led performance, helped by their long duration profile. Additionally, the strong outperformance by Indonesian sovereign bonds further boosted the sector’s returns. Investor sentiment towards Indonesia has been improving due to positive macroeconomic developments and a stabilising Indonesian Rupiah. On the other end of the spectrum are investment grade corporates, which have been dragged down by underperforming financial credits and widening spreads in China.

Fund Review Month-to-date, the Fund's overweights in Indonesian high yield corporates and Mongolian sovereigns were positive contributors. Additionally, the overweight in the longer-dated investment grade bonds in China also added value. However, the Fund's overall slight duration underweight detracted from performance. The Fund’s overweight in financials also weighed relative performance down. Year-to-date, positive credit selection in India and Indonesia were key contributors to the Fund's outperformance. In addition, the Fund's moderate overweight in the high yield sovereign sector through Mongolia and Sri Lanka sovereign bonds also contributed positively. However, the Fund’s underweight in Philippine sovereigns, as well as the overweight in the financial sector were key detractors.

Outlook A strong rebound in the US payroll figure for June, released after month-end, alleviates concerns over the US economy. Yet the market believes that a moderating job creation trend and the uncertainties following “Brexit” would keep Fed rate hike at bay for a prolonged period. This, coupled with expectations of additional policy accommodation around the world, helps boost risk appetite. Nevertheless, we remain mindful that Asian credit fundamentals are still weakening with continued negative credit migration, and valuation is looking un-compelling vis-à-vis the fundamental picture after the relentless rally of late. We would therefore maintain our defensive stance and take the opportunity of the market rally to “move up the credit curve” by adding higher-quality investment grade credits and trimming exposure to riskier ones. We also look to more actively manage the interest rate risk as any shift in US rate hike expectations could trigger substantial volatility in US Treasury yields. We continue to see value in longer-dated investment grade credits. In contrast, we may further reduce exposure to potential “fallen angel” investment grade credits, weak commodity-related high yield names and Additional Tier 1 bank capital papers.
