The AIA Global Dynamic Income Fund

The AIA Global Dynamic Income Fund is a dividend-paying fund, available for selection only via AIA Invest Easy, an investment-linked plan.  The fund is managed by AIA Investment Management, and backed by the expertise of world class asset managers.  The plan provides regular income, and total return over the long-term, through a variety of attractive income-generating asset classes.

The AIA Global Dynamic Income Fund aims to distribute dividends of 4% to 5% per annum on a quarterly basis.  Investors should take note that dividend distributions could change according to prevailing market conditions.  Both capital and dividend distributions are not guaranteed.  Dividend rate does not represent the overall return of the fund, and a high distribution yield does not imply a positive or high return on the total investments.  Dividend rate will be declared in Singapore dollar per unit and the resulting percentage dividend yield per annum.  AIA Singapore will review dividend distribution periodically, and has the sole discretion to determine the dividend rate and frequency of the distribution. 

Investors should also be aware that when dividend distributions are made out of the capital, it may lead to a reduction in investor’s original investment, and may also result in reduced future returns to the investor.  When dividend distributions are declared and paid out with respect to the sub-fund, the net assets of the sub-fund will reduce by an amount equivalent to the distributions declared.  This will be reflected as a reduction in the unit price.

The major attraction of the fund is because AIA Investment Management has partnered with world class asset managers to leverage on their experience and expertise in running specific investment strategies within the AIA Global Dynamic Income Fund.  The chart below shows the strategic asset allocation of each underlying funds, along with a brief description of the underlying fund managers and their strategies.
