Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – June 2025 — Kenanga Investors has introduced the Kenanga Alternative Series: Global Real Assets Fund, a new open-ended retail fund designed to provide investors with diversified access to global real estate, precious metals, and commodities through exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Managed by GAX MD, the fund leverages proprietary algorithms and quantitative models to select ETFs based on liquidity, expense ratios, and tracking efficiency. This data-driven approach aims to deliver steady asset growth and stable income for medium-term investors seeking portfolio diversification.
Available in Malaysian ringgit with a minimum investment of RM1,000, the fund complements Kenanga Investors’ existing alternative offerings, including the Income Opportunities Fund and the Islamic Global Responsible Strategies Fund.
Datuk Wira Ismitz Matthew De Alwis, Executive Director and CEO of Kenanga Investors, commented:
“Amidst today’s complex economic landscape, physical assets such as real estate, commodities, and precious metals often appreciate, helping investors preserve the real value of their wealth. By integrating real assets into portfolios, we provide a robust hedge against market uncertainties and offer sustainable growth potential for steady returns.”
Ronnie Tan, CEO of GAX MD, added:
“Our fund’s approach maximizes efficiency while maintaining the flexibility to adapt to evolving market conditions, giving investors diversified exposure to real assets without the high costs and complexities of direct ownership.”
