Effective from 16 December 2025 (inclusive), please take note of a few updates impacting the following ILP Sub-Fund(s) offered for Etiqa’s ILP products:

1. Changes to the statement of investment objectives and policy of the Fund

From the Effective Date, the investment strategy of the Fund will amend certain Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) characteristics, reflecting evolving best practices to better align the Fund with its ESG commitments.

The Investment Adviser decided to remove the 10% expected investments (in the limit of 20%) of the Fund’s NAV in debt securities issued by and/or guaranteed by governments of certain non-investment grade countries (namely Brazil, Hungary, Indonesia, Russia, Republic of South Africa, and Turkey) as this does not represent the actual risk and portfolio allocation of the Fund.

2. Changes to the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (“SFDR”) section and Fund Name

As a result of these changes, the Fund will not have any ESG commitments as part of its investment objective and policy anymore and therefore, the Fund will be reclassified from Article 8 to Article 6 under the meaning of the SFDR.

To reflect these changes, the Fund Name will also be updated. Please refer to the table below for the revised name.
