At the beginning of this year, it was widely expected that global economic growth will recover in 2020, due to the positive effects of monetary and fiscal policy stimuli, as well as diminished trade war risk. Unfortunately, with the COVID-19 coronavirus now a global pandemic simultaneously and severely affecting Asia, the US and Europe, the risk of a global recession has risen. The external shock caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has ravaged global economies and financial markets. In March, global equities had encountered unprecedented volatility on the downside, reflecting the heightened risk of a global recession. Meanwhile, global bond markets have also experienced significant disruption in funding and trading. The economic and financial market turmoil have prompted global policy makers to implement various monetary and fiscal stimulus measures to counteract the disruption caused by the pandemic.

In the near term, equities will remain vulnerable as COVID-19 cases rise and spread, and as disappointing economic data and corporate profit warnings hit the news headlines. If the outbreak is contained, economic activity and corporate earnings should recover in 2H20, supporting a recovery in global equities. However, if containment strategy fails and there is prolonged COVID-19 spread leading to significant fatalities, we are likely to experience another global recession, resulting in more downside risk for equities.

With the recent movements in financial markets, staying invested in a thoughtful diversified portfolio with discipline regular investment would provide a gentler ride through volatile times.

We remain committed to work with the fund managers to uncover opportunities and be vigilant with your financial goals.

Thank you for your continued support.

Yours sincerely

Investment OutlookUSThe US economy has been supported by steady consumer spending and expectations that the outlook for manufacturing should improve with the bottoming of new orders index and easing of trade tensions. However, the rosy outlook at the beginning of 2020 has changed due to the worldwide spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus, with cases of new infection soaring in the US.

The Federal Reserve has extended almost unlimited funding to banks, USD swap lines to other central banks, and launched a purchase program for corporate commercial papers, standing ready to do more if needed. The Trump administration would soon be sending cheques to US households and small businesses via a $2 trillion fiscal package. However, for the US, which has been slow in responding to the threat of COVID-19, an aggressive and effective containment and control strategy is critical to end the current crisis of confidence and the ensuing market turmoil.

EuropeThe pre-emptive European Central Bank (ECB), together with a weaker Euro, have helped the Euro-zone to skirt around a recession. Despite a weak manufacturing sector, the services sector has been resilient, with improving employment and wages. After a year of contraction, the manufacturing Purchasing Manager’s Index surveys have been showing signs of bottoming. Political uncertainty is also set to decline with Brexit uncertainty removed. Unfortunately, economic activity will be adversely affected by the fallout from the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. With infections and fatalities rising sharply, Europe has become the new epicentre of the pandemic, resulting in major disruptions to the economy and financial markets. The ECB has committed to further large scale quantitative easing including open-ended purchases of peripheral European government bonds. Fiscal deficit limits would also be eased. However, the risk is that a loss of confidence in the social health infrastructure could render fiscal and monetary policies much less effective. Hence, signs of effective containment would be necessary for risk assets to find a bottom.

JapanEven before the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak started, Japan’s economy had faltered following the imposition of a higher national sales tax in October 2019. In the fourth quarter of 2019, real GDP fell at an annualized rate of 6.3% from the previous quarter, the steepest decline since 2014 when the national sales tax was last increased. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted Japan’s manufacturing supply chain. It has also adversely affected tourism, a key source of demand for services. Hence, it is likely that GDP could contract again in the first quarter, placing Japan in a recession. In the short term, markets will Inv

remain vulnerable to headline news relating to the virus. Nevertheless, Japan is well positioned to benefit from a recovery in global growth if the coronavirus outbreak is contained. Improving corporate governance will be an additional tailwind.

Asia Pacific ex JapanWhile Asian markets ended 2019 on a firm footing, buoyed by the first phase of the US-China trade deal being effectively done and the expected recovery in global growth, 2020 has proven to be as volatile as the previous year. The anticipated recovery has been disrupted as the coronavirus pandemic is likely to depress global growth over the next few months, and possibly longer if the brewing crisis is not contained. In Asia, where the transmission cycle of COVID-19 is more advanced, monetary and fiscal stimuli have already been aggressively applied. In countries where epidemic containment and control measures have been more successful (e.g. China, Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore), stimulative monetary and fiscal measures can be expected to be more effective. Nonetheless, the economic outlook will still be highly uncertain because of supply-chain disruptions and poor external demand, which could generate renewed weakness in manufacturing and export oriented sectors.

ConclusionComing into 2020, global growth was widely expected to stage a modest recovery in 2020 due to accommodative monetary policy, an improvement in the global manufacturing inventory cycle, reduced Brexit and trade war risks, as well as ongoing policy stimulus out of China. The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has altered the optimistic outlook, as the risk of a global recession has risen. Recovery in growth would be dependent on how soon the outbreak is contained and the extent of supportive policy response globally.

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

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

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.

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.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements of the Funds for the year ended 31 December 2019 are prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 2 to the accounts.

BASIS FOR OPINIONWe conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing (“SSAs”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements of the Funds section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the Funds in accordance with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (“ACRA”) Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Public Accountants and Accounting Entities (“ACRA Code”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Singapore, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ACRA Code.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND DIRECTORS FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSManagement is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements of the Funds in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 2 and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Funds’ ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Funds or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The directors are responsible for overseeing the Funds financial reporting process.

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSOur objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

As part of an audit in accordance with SSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of these financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates, and related disclosures made by management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Funds’ ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Funds to cease to continue as a going concern.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
