Minibond Series 35

Dear Mr. Tan,

Please give your advice about minibond series 35, issuer Pacific International limited. The notes have a AAA rate, it means the lowest risk to invest ?

REPLY:
Sorry, I am not able to advice you on this investment.

You have to be careful about the AAA rating. Some CDO (collaterised debt obligations comprising of subprime mortgages) have AAA rating and are found to be of poor quality. I am not sure if the investments of this fund fall in this category.

My general views about structured products (not specifically related to this product) are set out in this FAQ:
