OCBC, Amundi float dollar cost averaging fund in Singapore

It leverages the cost-averaging effect when it allocates assets to equity ETFs.

OCBC and asset manager Amundi have launched the Amundi-OCBC Momentum Fund, the first fund in Singapore claimed to harness a dollar cost averaging feature.

The Momentum Fund allows the portfolio manager to initiate dollar cost averaging for the investor. The fund leverages the cost-averaging effect when it allocates assets from an initial pool of fixed income securities to equity ETFs.

Investors are also paid a regular dividend and can enjoy further capital appreciation even as markets move higher.

The Momentum Fund allows up to a maximum of 25% into non-investment grade bonds, with investors potentially earning quarterly dividend of up to 3% per annum.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
