our key beliefs We strongly believe that a valuation driven investment approach generates superior longterm returns. Security mispricing driven by investor ‘greed and fear’ is an enduring phenomenon. Investments are made at a significant discount to intrinsic value, which called an investor’s “margin of safety”. We build in an adequate margin of safety between the market price and the intrinsic value to protect against forecast error, event risk and extreme volatility. Eastspring Investments Indonesia seeks to appraise the worth of securities by appraising its “intrinsic value”. Our overriding belief is that the intrinsic value of any security is the present value of future cash flows accruing to us as the owner of the security. Successful and sustainable exploitation of security mispricing requires the disciplined application of our valuation driven approach. Our process seeks to eliminate the behavioral biases that lead to mispricing in the first instance.


15 / OUR KEY BELIEFS

We believe valuation driven investment generates superior long-term returns.�

17 / SYSTEM AND INFRASTRUCTURE

System and Infrastructure We are proud of our highly qualified and experienced team members. We also have a profound belief in our investment philosophy and have created a robust process to ensure that we are always attached to and disciplined with it. Nevertheless, it is equally important to us to build sophisticated and reliable system and infrastructure to support the whole process of our investment activities, from front office, middle office, to back office. A world class technology that places us ahead of the competition and, more importantly, to help us deliver our clients’ needs. We have built and run a range of systems that support every aspect of investment management within our company. This encompasses market and data access, research analysis and database, portfolio management, pre and post compliance, dealing and execution, portfolio analysis, settlement, book keeping, and performance measurement. We are also able to leverage state of the art systems at our regional office. While various systems are at play, Charles River Trading System (CRTS) is at the core of

them all. CRTS bring portfolio management, order management, compliance, as well as dealing and execution onto one integrated platform. PruSearch is another example. This research analysis and database platform is our proprietary system which allows us to benefit most from the excellent works of our strong research team, which truly stands as the starting point of our investment thinking process. On the other end of the process, performance measurement and attribution, Eastspring Investments has for years used cutting-edge performance system of Sylvan.

Of course, we continuously ensure that our investment and dealing teams have access to leading data, market, and news providers, such as Bloomberg. Eastspring Investments believes that investing in system and infrastructure is an essential investment. This investment should bode well for our investment performance, our clients’ asset performance.
