Driven by proprietary in-house research, the Fund's active management strategy focuses on strategically positioning the portfolio in fundamentally sound securities which trading at relatively attractive valuations.
Malaysia’s macroeconomic outlook remains highly favorable as it consistently exceeds consensus estimates. This economic outperformance is catalyzed by the nation's strategic alignment with secular global megatrends such as digitalization, deglobalization, decarbonization, and demographics. Consequently, Malaysia continues to secure substantial Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), notably within the Electrical & Electronics (E&E), advanced manufacturing, and data center infrastructure segments. Meanwhile, domestic consumption remains resilient, underpinned by stable employment levels and a favorable demographic.
The Fund maintains its highest weightings in the Industrials, Energy, and Technology sectors. These strategic allocations capitalize on the aforementioned structural tailwinds, which are anticipated to drive multi-year corporate earnings growth both domestically and globally.

Unitholders in the KAF Core Income Fund remain optimally positioned to capture sustained, best-in-class risk-adjusted returns over the long-term investment horizon.
