New Fund Launch: Pacific S&P Global STARS

I was attending the launch of Pacific Mutual’s latest fund yesterday at the Le Meridien Hotel at KL Sentral. Well, try not to park in there- First hour RM 6.00 and subsequent hours RM 4.00, and I don’t see any part of the car park being paved with gold.

The Edge Daily on Pacific S&P Global STARS…

“We believe we can achieve double-digit returns as the timing of the fund is quite fortuitous in that we are coming into the market after a correction,� its chief executive officer Michael Auyeung said.

The Star Biz…

“While take-up rate is not a major concern for us where this fund is concerned, we are confident it will be eagerly accepted by investors, especially since the Federal Reserve (Fed) has said it is likely to pause rate hikes,� Auyeung told a press conference after the launch yesterday.


The fund is primarily based on the S&P Stock Appreciation Ranking System (STARS), the Fund will invest in global stocks that are ranked 3 to 5-STARS, where 4 and 5-STARS are the rankings with what is believed to be the greatest potential to outperform their benchmarks over the coming 12 months.

Hence the objective is that by following this strategy the Fund seeks to generate good capital growth potential (see the chart below).
