Mr. Dennis Lim, President, MFC Asset Management Public Company Limited, announced today that MFC will be launching the MFC Karnjanasap Fund 9 Series 1 or MK9S1 during 10-18 June 2019. The Fund is a domestic fixed income fund with a 9-month maturity. Investors will receive automatic redemption of returns at a rate of 1.70% per annum of par value (Baht 10.00). When the Fund reaches maturity, all units will be automatically redeemed and switched to MFC Government Money Market Fund (MM-GOV). Since investors may not redeem during the 9 months, should there be any negative factors impacting the investment, investors could lose a significant portion of their investment.

MK9S1 has the investment policy to invest in domestic fixed income instruments and quality debentures such as treasury bills, government bonds, Bank of Thailand bond, state enterprise bonds, fixed income instruments issued by juristic person under specific law, fixed income instruments issued by commercial banks, deposits or investment grade fixed income instruments issued by private sector.

Example of instruments that MK9S1 will invest are as follows: Thai Government bonds investment portion 70.73% return 1.75% p.a. return to Fund 1.24% p.a. / TPI Polene PCL debenture rating BBB+ investment portion 9.76% return 2.50% p.a. return to Fund 0.24% p.a. / MUANGTHAI CAPITAL PCL debenture rating BBB+ investment portion 9.76% return 2.25% p.a. return to Fund 0.22% p.a. and Asia Sermkij Leasing PCL debenture rating BBB+ investment portion 9.76% return 2.25% p.a. return to Fund 0.22% p.a.

The estimated return from investment is 1.92% per annum with estimated expenses of 0.22% per annum and net return of 1.70% per annum. Should the Asset Management Company not be able to invest as stated due to market conditions or changes in taxes, the Asset Management Company may not redeem units at the aforementioned rate.

The Asset Management Company has the discretion to change the invested assets or the investment ratios when it is deemed that it is necessary and appropriate for the utmost benefit of the investors, without causing the risk of the invested assets to change significantly.

MK9S1 is suitable for investors who expect higher returns than deposits, can accept a lower return than stocks and are able to invest for a period of 9 months. Investors should study the information available to understand features of the product, conditions of the returns and the risks before making the decision to invest.
