Fund manager’s outlook

Fixed income outlook

◼ Regardless of the 50 basis points (Bps) policy rate cut on March 25th, 2024, Treasury bill rates did not react in proportion.
Consequently, during March, T-bill rates experienced a slight increase of 20-28 Bps, while most other medium to long-term
tenures remained unchanged.

◼ We anticipate a gradual growth in credit to the private sector throughout 2024 as borrowing costs decrease. This moderate
level of credit demand is expected to coincide with the gradual economic recovery driven by improvements in household
disposable income.

◼ Based on fiscal provisional data for FY 2023, we observed a primary surplus of approximately LKR 160 billion, reflecting a
commendable achievement in terms of the country's fiscal stance. Looking ahead, the need for additional borrowing is
anticipated to be relatively lower due to this significant primary surplus. However, it's crucial to acknowledge the potential
utilization of these buffers for various election-targeted expenditures.

◼ Year-on-year inflation for March 2024 was reported at 0.9%, as we anticipated the negative base effect from the
corresponding month of the last year dragged the inflation down. Additionally, reductions in electricity tariffs, fuel prices,
and vegetable prices contributed to the sharp decline in inflation. The appreciation of the LKR also has a positive implication
on inflation, leading us to expect a easing of inflationary pressures in the medium term. However, the base effect's impact is
expected to correct in April 2024, potentially causing inflation to bounce back to the range of 3-5%.

◼ Year-on-year inflation for March 2024 was reported at 0.9%, as we anticipated the negative base effect from the
corresponding month of the last year dragged the inflation down. Additionally, reductions in electricity tariffs, fuel
prices, and vegetable prices contributed to the sharp decline in inflation. The appreciation of the LKR also has a
positive implication on inflation, leading us to expect a easing of inflationary pressures in the medium term. However,
the base effect's impact is expected to correct in April 2024, potentially causing inflation to bounce back to the range
of 3-5%..

◼ The top five contributors to the ASPI index movement in March 2024 were HNB Bank PLC, LOLC PLC, Ceylon Tobacco
PLC, Sampath Bank PLC, and Commercial Bank PLC, respectively. According to our estimates, these top five contributors
accounted for approximately 37% of the ASPI index growth.

◼ The market multiple increased to 9.87X, marking an 8% rise during the month, while the average daily turnover
remained around LKR 1.8 billion. However, March saw net foreign outflows from the market totaling LKR 4.7 billion,
with only six trading days showing net foreign buys. This indicates that the Sri Lankan equity market was
predominantly driven by local investor participation.

▪ How does AIA manage Unit Linked funds?


AIA maintains a prudent investment strategy for its investment portfolios, in line with its investment philosophy and guidelines, as set
out in the Company’s investment policy. The investments of each fund are carried out in line with the investment objectives of the
respective fund. The Company advocates a long-term investment strategy supporting long-term growth. The equity strategy is driven
by in-depth research with emphasis on growth and sustainability of earnings whilst principles such as liquidity, solvency and corporate
governance also play a significant role in stock selection.

▪ Why do unit prices of the Growth & Balanced Funds fluctuate in comparison to the other Unit Linked
Funds?
The prices of all unit linked funds move in tandem with the price movements or market values of their underlying investments. The
Growth & Balanced funds invest in shares listed on the Colombo Stock Exchange. As prices of shares can be volatile at times, the unit
prices of Growth & Balanced funds too can move higher or lower in tandem with these movements in share prices.

▪ Is the All Share Price Index (ASPI) or S&P20 movement comparable with AIA Growth & Balanced Funds
Performance?
The Growth and Balance fund performance may differ from the performances of the ASPI and the S&P SL 20 stock indices due to the
fund portfolios holding different stocks and different proportions of stocks when compared to those used in the computation of the
indices. The ASPI measures the movement of share prices of all listed companies on the Colombo Stock Exchange based on market
capitalization and the S&P SL 20 measures the movement of share prices of 20 of the leading companies selected and rebased on
certain criteria including market capitalisation.
