Higher investment value in a bond fund is typically achieved over the medium to long-term. Bonds tend to generate positive returns over time as the benefit of reinvesting and compounding at higher interest rates can outweigh any short term drop in prices from volatility in interest rates. Investors who have been invested with the Fund for the past 3 years are enjoying a cumulative return of 15%, while cumulative return for the past 5 and 10 years are 41% and 110%, respectively. The Fund’s cumulative returns highlight the ability of the Fund to deliver consistent positive returns over the long-term, increasing shareholder value.
Despite most investors opting for virtually risk-free investments in a year that was marked with uncertainty, the peso bond fund industry grew by 2.84% in 2009. The industry’s total net asset value amounted to Php29.7 billion as of year end.
The Fund’s portfolio profile as of Dec. 31, 2009 consists of: 35% in medium term gs, 30% in corporate notes and bonds, 12% in money market instruments and other receivables, 9% in long term gs, 7% in short term gs, 6% in preferred shares and 1% in an index bond fund. This positioning continues to emphasize the key principle of portfolio diversification to manage market and credit risks, to achieve long-term returns that outperform the benchmark. In 2009, we actively managed the duration of the Fund to respond to changes in interest rate outlook and better manage its exposure to market risk. Duration is a measure of interest rate risk. The higher the number, the more sensitive the movement of the portfolio to changes in interest rates. ALFM was well-positioned to take advantage of interest rate movements. The Fund’s duration as of year-end was at 2.94.
With prudent investment strategy and risk management policies in place, the Fund has delivered steady and superior returns relative to its benchmark, the 91-day Treasury Bill, as shown in the historical annual returns. In 2009, the Fund showed a consistent positive return throughout the year, outperforming the benchmark by 110 basis points, yielding a full year return of 4.75%.
