age

While 2017 ended with strong economic data and positive sentiments, the headline news during the first half of 2018 have been predominantly occupied with trade tensions around the world. Rising oil prices and interest rates were other headwinds faced by the global economy. Most equity markets ended the first half of 2018 in the red except for the US.

Despite the challenges, our GreatLink global equities strategies, which focus on growth companies, and the GreatLink China Growth Fund, have delivered positive returns.Notably, the GreatLink Global Technology Fund gained 9.5%1 during the first six months of the year.

As Great Eastern celebrates our 110th anniversary this year, we thank you for your continued support and for choosing us as your trusted insurer. We remain committed to optimise your returns to help you achieve your financial goals.

Yours sincerely

Investment OutlookThe optimistic sentiment that started 2018 has turned cautious amid a host of fears. Most prominently, the trade-war tango between the US and China has left much of the world bewildered by the pace of twists and turns. While growth data remains sturdy across US and Europe, this has been offset by slowing momentum in Japan, China and Asia Pacific markets. With politics taking the spotlight away from central bank policies, investors will need to navigate an environment increasingly fraught with uncertainties. Although investors are risk-aware and mindful of the negative catalysts in the market, the environment presents opportunities for security selection, which includes taking advantage of short-term weakness to acquire quality assets at bargain prices.

USWhile announced trade tariffs are expected to have little immediate impact on US economic growth, prolonged trade tensions may dent business confidence and delay capital expenditure. Offsetting this is the likely continuation of strong business spending and recovery in consumer spending, supported by fiscal stimulus and full employment. The impact of Fed normalising interest rates and balance sheet remains modest and continues to be data dependent – a third rate increase is likely in September 2018, with the door open for a fourth increase in December 2018. For the second half of 2018, the US market outlook seems better than other regions given the strong earnings growth and share buybacks.

EuropeEconomic expansion in the euro area remains on track. Recent weakness in data and indicators is attributed to a temporary decline in foreign demand and the lagging impact of EUR appreciation in 2017. Private consumption is supported by employment gains from labour market reform and rising household wealth. Monetary conditions are supportive; while the European Central Bank has decided to end quantitative easing, they have also signalled key interest rates will remain stable through 1H 2019. However, rising US protectionism remains a key risk to Europe’s growth outlook.

JapanThe Japanese stock market has seen a clear shift away from cyclical sectors to defensive sectors in the past few months and the divergence in performance is reaching historically highly-stretched levels. Nevertheless, with the global trade conflict at the forefront of the investment climate, investors are likely to remain in risk-off mode and seek shelter in defensive themes.

Asia Pacific ex JapanThe positive economic momentum since 2017 has been interrupted, with leading indicators suggesting a peak together with news of downward guidance in corporate earnings growth. As the cycle slows, there is less scope for profit

margins and revenues to surprise positively. However, corporate earnings are still expected to continue growing albeit at more moderate paces, supported by sturdy businesses and favourable macro fundamentals. Nevertheless, four main risks pose headwinds to sentiment: trade protectionism, rising oil prices, increasing bond yields and strong USD. Of the four, trade tensions are most severe and impactful for export-dependent Asia. The sense is trade sentiment may improve in the fourth quarter of 2018 and thus on a longer term perspective, the third quarter may be an ideal time to position portfolios with that time frame in mind.

ConclusionWhile risk aversion has dampened sentiment, it has not derailed growth. There are opportunities for investors who remain focused on fundamentals and long-term growth prospects. Undeterred by short-term uncertainty, investors can continue to monitor markets closely for new developments and seek opportunities to invest into high quality assets at distressed prices. Maintaining a well-diversified portfolio can help investors to navigate this current uncertain environment and achieve their long term investment objectives.

ANNOUNCEMENT

1) Change of name to fund manager and underlying funds

Following the completion of the merger between Aberdeen Asset Management PLC and Standard Life plc and as part of the re-branding exercise, there will be a change to the fund names of the Aberdeen Select Portfolio range, effective 3 September 2018.

The name of the fund manager for three ILP Sub-Funds will also be changed from “Aberdeen Asset Management Asia Limited” to “Aberdeen Standard Investments (Asia) Limited” effective 3 September 2018, subject to regulatory approval being obtained. In the event that regulatory approval is not obtained for their proposed company name change, the new effective date shall be updated on www.aberdeen-asia.com.The investment objectives of the ILP Sub-Funds remain the same.

2) Change of investment objective to GreatLink Short Duration Bond Fund

The GreatLink Short Duration Bond Fund (the “ILP Sub-Fund”) invests all or substantially into the LionGlobal Short Duration Bond Fund (“Underlying Fund”) managed by Lion Global Investors Limited (“the Manager”). The investment objective of the ILP Sub-Fund will be amended to delete references to real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and business trusts effective 1 October 2018.

The amendment of the investment objective of the ILP Sub-Fund will:

(i) better reflect the instruments which the Underlying Fund invests in, since the Underlying Fund has not and will not invest in REITs and business trusts; and

(ii) not bring about any substantive change in practice given that there has been no investment in REITs and business trusts by the Underlying Fund since its inception nor any intention to do so in the future.

Funds managed by Lion Global Investors LtdThe soft dollar commissions from various brokers for the period were utilised on research and advisory services, economic and political analyses, portfolio analyses, market analyses, data and quotation analyses and computer hardware and software used for and in support of the investment process of fund managers. Goods and services received were for the benefit of the scheme and there was no churning of trades. These brokers also execute trades for other funds managed by the managers. The trades are conducted on best available terms and in accordance with best practices.

Fund managed by AllianceBernstein (Singapore) Ltd **For the period ended 30 June 2018, the Investment Manager does receive and has entered into soft-dollar commissions/arrangements with brokers relating to portfolios of the Underlying Fund that invest in equity securities, in respect of which certain goods and services used to support the investment decision making process were received. The soft commission arrangements were entered into on the basis that the execution of transactions on behalf of the Underlying Fund will be consistent with best execution standards and brokerage rates will not be in excess of customary institutional full-service brokerage rates. The goods and services received include specialist industry, company and consumer research, portfolio and market analysis and computer software used for the delivery of such services.

The nature of the goods and services received is such that the benefits provided under the arrangement must be those which assist in the provision of investment services to the Underlying Fund and may contribute to an improvement in the Underlying Fund's performance.

2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESa. Basis of accounting The financial statements are expressed in Singapore dollars, and are prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention,

except for investments and derivatives which are carried at fair value.

b. Recognition of income and expenses Dividend income is recognised when the shareholders' right to receive payment is established. Interest income is recognised

using the effective interest method.

Expenses are recognised on an accrual basis.

c. Investments All purchases of investments are recognised on their trade dates, i.e., the date the commitment exists to purchase the

investments. The investments are initially recorded at fair value (or cost representing fair value on trade date) which would include transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the investments. After initial recognition, the unrealised gains or losses on remeasurement to fair value are taken to the capital account. Fair value is determined by using open market valuation at the year-end date. The closing price has been adopted for all investments except for quoted equity investments. For equity investments traded on exchanges, fair value is derived from the last traded price on the respective exchange.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

ounts

113

Certain investments have been valued using valuation techniques based on assumptions that are supported by prices from observable current market transactions. The valuation of these investments have either been provided by brokers or counterparties or valued using internal models.

d. Realised gains/losses from sale of investments All sales of investments are recognised on their trade dates i.e., the date the fund commits to sell the investments. Realised gains/losses from sale of investments are taken to the Capital Account.

e. Foreign currency transactions Foreign currency transactions are translated into Singapore dollars at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates and

foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the approximate rates ruling at year end. Differences on exchange are included in the Capital Account.

f. Derivative financial instruments All derivatives including embedded derivatives are carried at fair value. All fair value changes on derivatives are taken to the

Capital Account. The closing price has been adopted for the valuation of derivatives.

3 DERIVATIVES The GreatLink Funds enter into derivative contracts for the purposes of hedging foreign currency and interest risk exposures,

and efficient portfolio management. The derivative contracts traded include foreign exchange forward contracts, foreign exchange spot contracts, futures and rights.
