Market Review. The HSBC Philippine Local Currency Bond Index gained by 1.52% in October. The decline in yields of government securities spanned the curve, dropping by an average of 32
basis points. The 25-year rate closed the month lower by 49 basis points at 4.67%.
The US government shutdown and debt ceiling impasse weighed on local bonds in the first half of the month. Local bonds traded flat during the period even as the country secured an investment
grade credit rating from Moody’s. Bond prices then rallied after the US Congress reached a new deal to end the government’s fiscal crisis while the US Federal Reserve delayed anew the start of
the tapering of its monthly bond purchases.
The country’s solid macroeconomic fundamentals continue to support renewed buying interest for government securities. The country is now rated investment grade by all three major credit rating
agencies. Moody's cited the country’s robust economic performance, ongoing fiscal and debt consolidation, and political stability and improved governance. The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas held
key interest rates in its last policy meeting, maintaining overnight borrowing rate at 3.5%. Inflation forecast for this year was kept unchanged at 3% while outlook for 2014 was revised upward to 4%
from 3.9%. Meanwhile, inflation forecast for 2015 was cut to 3.4% from 3.5%. Consumer prices rose 2.7% in September due to higher food and electricity charges. Average inflation through the
first three quarters remained below-target at 2.8%. Budget deficit from the January to September reached P101.2 billion, falling below the P144.5-billion target for the period.
Market Update. The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), through circular No. 813 series of 2013, has amended the market valuation of government securities. Moving forward, the valuation of
benchmark tenor bonds shall be determined by the weighted average done deals and simple average bids. For non-benchmark securities, in the absence of both weighted average done deals and
simple average bids, interpolated yields derived from reference rates shall be used. The new pricing methodology may carry with it increased volatility for the local currency fixed income holdings
of your portfolios depending on its duration.
Fund Performance. The Fund gained by 0.05% in October, missing the benchmark by 147 basis points. The underperformance was caused in part by the new valuation procedure for government
securities. It continues to outperform the benchmark on a year-to-date basis by 40 basis points, with a return of 8.97%. Portfolio duration ended below the benchmark at the close of the month.
Fund Strategy. Fund management will remain nimble as the delay in the US Federal Reserve taper adds uncertainty in the market even as inflation still print below full-year target.

Risk Management
In accordance with the provisions in the Declaration of Trust, the Fund employs a risk
management policy based on duration. Duration measures the sensitivity of NAVpu to interest
rate movements. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall. The higher the duration, the more
NAVpu will fluctuate in relation to changes in interest rates. The Fund may also use financial
derivatives to hedge the portfolio against market and credit risks.
