Fund, which may be obtained from the Trustee, before deciding to invest.

KEY RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
You should not invest in this Fund if you do not understand or are not comfortable with the accompanying risks.
Interest Rate Risk. This is the possibility for an investor to experience losses due to changes in interest rates. The purchase and
sale of a debt instrument may result in profit or loss because the value of a debt instrument changes inversely with prevailing
interest rates.
Market/Price Risk. This is the possibility for an investor to experience losses due to changes in market prices of securities. It is
the exposure to the uncertain market value of a portfolio due to price fluctuations.
Liquidity Risk. This is the possibility for an investor to experience losses due to the inability to sell or convert assets into cash
immediately or in instances where conversion to cash is possible but at a loss.
Credit Risk/Default Risk. This is the possibility for an investor to experience losses due to a borrower’s failure to pay the principal
and/or interest in a timely manner on instruments such as bonds, loans, or other forms of security, which the borrower issued.
Reinvestment Risk. This is the risk associated with the possibility of having lower returns or earnings when maturing funds or the
interest earnings of funds are reinvested.

OTHER DISCLOSURES
INVESTMENT POLICY / PROSPECTIVE INVESTMENTS
The Fund may invest in deposits in the trustee’s bank or in other banks, securities issued or guaranteed by the Philippine
Government or the BSP, tradable securities issued by any supranational entity and exchange-listed fixed income securities.
Subject to BSP guidelines and the Trustee's Trust Committee approval, the Fund may also avail itself of financial derivative
instruments solely for the purpose of hedging risk exposures, as well as invest in other tradable outlets/categories as may be
deemed suitable for the Fund.
OUTLOOK AND STRATEGY
January Consumer Price Index (CPI) further fell to 2.4% from the previous month's 2.7%, failing to reflect the slight increase in oil
prices, which rose to $60/barrel. While other countries such as China and Indonesia began cutting rates, citing the need to monitor
global trends of policy rate cuts, the BSP maintained its policy stance. Yields of government securities rose after bids for the 10yr
auction was rejected, pushing the yields of securities maturing 2024 up by 13 basis points. Belly securities slightly increased up to
10 basis points, while the longer part of the curve remained stable. PBF's portfolio was further rebalanced during the month,
increasing the Fund's duration.
