Fund of the Month: KAF Millennium Fund
KAF Millennium Fund has continued its streak of delivering consistent returns over the past three years, as reflected by its recent wins at the LSEG Lipper Fund Awards and Morningstar Awards. Owing to its mandate to invest in larger-cap companies, with up to 30% of assets in foreign stocks, the fund exhibits resiliency during market turbulence. Coupled with alpha generated from active sector allocation and stock selection, the fund has performed well in terms of risk-adjusted returns.
Anchored by dividend income from blue-chip companies operating in the financial, utilities, and consumer sectors, KAF Millennium Fund aims to provide stable returns for its investors. To take advantage of the current commodity upcycle, the fund has also built significant exposure in the energy, plantation, and transportation sectors.
Looking ahead, KAF Millennium Fund will remain focused on Malaysian large-cap stocks for stable returns. This is underpinned by Malaysia’s stable macroeconomic environment and robust corporate earnings. Opportunistic positioning in overseas stocks may be pursued when there are attractive propositions.
By maintaining stringent investment standards and targeting essential growth sectors, KAFMillennium Fund is fortified against market fluctuations. Investors are favourably positioned to capture long-term growth opportunities within Malaysia, alongside selected prospects across the ASEAN region.
