Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – 29 September 2025 – Hong Leong Asset Management Bhd (“HLAM”) today launched the Hong Leong Global Equity Fund (“Fund”), an equity growth fund designed to give local investors access to a globally diversified portfolio.
The Fund combines two established equity strategies, each investing in global equities through different investment styles—including value, growth, and ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance)—to create a blended, high-conviction global equity portfolio. Each strategy sleeve is independently managed by a dedicated, specialised investment team, focusing on the best investment ideas within their mandate. The portfolio is designed to remain well-diversified and balanced, with the aim of capturing multiple sources of performance.
Chue Kwok Yan, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of HLAM said, “With the world economy in constant transition, investors in Malaysia are searching for resilient solutions that balance opportunity with strong fundamentals. The Hong Leong Global Equity Fund aims to deliver that balance—combining strategic global exposure with focused, best-ideas investing.”
Amundi Singapore Limited (“Amundi Singapore”) is the appointed external fund manager for the Hong Leong Global Equity Fund. Amundi Singapore is part of Amundi—Europe’s largest and one of the most trusted asset managers with over USD 2.7 trillion in assets under management*. By leveraging global research and investment expertise across the United States, Singapore, and Malaysia, the Fund provides institutional-quality global exposure to local investors.
The Hong Leong Global Equity Fund is available through HLAM offices, its nationwide agency force, and the online portal HL iSmart Invest. Designed as a growth fund, it currently offers three retail share classes: Class MYR, Class MYR-Hedged, and Class USD. Each class will be priced at an initial offer of RM1.0000, RM1.0000, and US$1.0000 per unit, respectively.
