RES5Financial Advisory Services✓A plain authorised retail bond fund with no leverage or derivatives is best classified as:
Under the Securities and Futures (Capital Markets Products) Regulations 2018 and MAS Notice SFA 04-N12, a fund is an Excluded Investment Product if it invests only in deposits, gold or EIP-class assets such as bonds, and uses derivatives, if at all, only for hedging or efficient portfolio management.
