NOTE FROM CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Dear Policyholder,

Hearti est greeti ngs to you and your family!

Thank you, once again, for your support in Tokio Marine Life Insurance Singapore’s investment-linked plans. As at 31 December 2013, we have a suite of 6 ILP sub-funds that off er opti ons for diff erent risk appeti tes, ranging from the TMLS China Equity Fund for the aggressive investor to the TMLS Global Bond Fund for the cauti ous investor.

Investment climate in 2013 has been challenging. The largest economy in the world, US, struggled with problems of fi scal defi cit, debt ceiling and politi cal deadlock. On a positi ve note, the economy displayed strong signs of recovery in property market, industrial producti on and consumer senti ments throughout the year.

Similarly in Europe, politi cal stability and stress level in the fi nancial system remained in 2013. Market senti ment improved as the European Union relaxed its austerity drive by granti ng deadline extensions for member countries to reach their fi scal targets in the hopes of boosti ng near term growth. European Central Bank’s unexpected rate cut also provided further boost to the market.

In Asia, tapering of quanti tati ve easing (“QE”) in the US has put signifi cant pressure on markets in emerging economies, especially in countries like India and Indonesia which have large budget defi cits. Thailand also performed poorly, plagued by persistent politi cal tensions.

China’s transiti on of politi cal leadership saw clarifi cati on of its medium-term growth strategy and fi rm stance against more credit-driven growth. Reforms announced during China’s Third Plenum of country leaders in November, including easing of one-child policy and pledging for market-driven resource allocati on, boosted senti ments for the China equity market.

Back home, Singapore’s GDP growth managed to recover from a mid-year slowdown as a result of strong growth in services and constructi on sectors, and a ti mely recovery in manufacturing.

Looking ahead, market volati lity is likely to persist as QE tapering conti nues. Market consensus expects US growth to accelerate into 2014 as headwinds from ti ghtening of fi scal policy fade. In Europe, high unemployment is expected to conti nue, but growth recovery may fi nally be under way. While there is risk of capital fl ight from fragile economies like India and Indonesia following QE tapering, Asian economies,

NOTE FROM CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

in general, are expected to be well-positi oned to ride on improvement in export earnings as external environment improves. In China, short-term pain may be felt when growth slows, but the Chinese Government’s eff ort to pursue more stable, quality growth can be promising over the long term.

Notwithstanding the negati ve eff ects of market forces, we are pleased to announce that TMLS Global Bond Fund and TMLS China Equity Fund have outperformed their respecti ve benchmarks in 2013 by more than 3%.

Headline infl ati on in Singapore is expected to exceed bank deposit rates and is likely to remain for the foreseeable future. With this in mind, we encourage our policyholders to conti nue to stay invested so as to leverage any opportuniti es that may arise. In view of the current environment, we would also like to remind policyholders to review their portf olios regularly and to remain diversifi ed.

Tokio Marine Life Insurance Singapore conti nues to look into expanding our investment-linked portf olio of funds as well as investment-linked products, so that you can conti nue to have a wide choice of investment mix to match your risk appeti te through innovati ve and comprehensive products.

We are pleased to send you this copy of our Annual ILP Fund Report for the period between 1 January and 31 December 2013. We trust this report will keep you abreast of the important and relevant informati on pertaining to the TMLS family of ILP sub-funds, in which you have invested in, to make further informed decisions.

Thank you for your conti nued confi dence and trust in us with your investments.

TMLS ASIAN EQUITY FUND01 January 2013 - 31 December 2013

Manager Comments

Market ReviewCompared with the strong gains of the previous year, Asian equiti es had a muted 2013. Notably, it was concerned over a reducti on in US asset purchases that triggered sharp falls in the middle of the year. Uncertainty prevailed right up to December, when the Federal Reserve decided conclusively that it would reduce its monthly asset purchases starti ng from January. Investors were also cauti ously opti misti c when China ushered in a new leadership, which vowed to restructure the economy and narrow the wealth gap. Some markets, however, were buff eted by domesti c struggles. India and Indonesia faced large defi cits and weakening currencies while Thailand was beset by politi cal tensions.

Portf olio ReviewBoth asset allocati on and stock selecti on were negati ve. At the country level, our overweight to both India and Indonesia were key detractors, mainly because of the negati ve currency impact as both the rupee and rupiah weakened sharply. The overweight to Singapore also hurt returns as the local market rose but lagged the regional benchmark. Losses were partly pared by the overweight to Hong Kong as the market was among the best performing. As bott om-up stock pickers, our country and sector allocati ons are driven by where we can fi nd quality companies with att racti ve valuati ons. This approach may lead to signifi cant deviati ons from the index.

At the stock level, the Aberdeen Indonesia Equity Fund detracted most from performance. Worries over the current account defi cit, infl ati on and slowing growth weighed on the domesti c market, as did concerns over the Fed’s bond-buying programme. The holding in the Aberdeen Singapore Equity Fund also proved negati ve as the local market underperformed most of its regional peers amid ongoing government att empts to cool the buoyant property market, which depressed the real estate sector.

Elsewhere, not holding Tencent detracted. We like its core business but what holds us back, aside from valuati on, is the company’s transiti on from a PC-based business to a mobile one, where competi ti on is more intense. Additi onally, the corporate structure is not appealing. Chinese law restricts foreign ownership of companies in certain strategic industries, including internet businesses. Companies listed off shore, such as Tencent, use variable interest enti ti es to get around the law. Hence, its foreign shareholders do not have direct claims on the fi rm’s assets and earnings. On a positi ve note, stock selecti on in Korea added to performance. Our holdings E-Mart and Samsung Electronics posted strong gains. E-Mart’s margins

improved, helped by cost cuts initi ated by its new CEO, while Samsung conti nued to post record results driven by its mobile division.

OutlookWe expect volati lity to persist as the Fed’s tapering decision may trigger capital fl ight. As well, Asian economies conti nue to face domesti c headwinds. India and Indonesia, encumbered by large defi cits, could face further currency volati lity should fund outf lows accelerate. Additi onal risks include mid-year electi ons in both countries. In Thailand, prolonged politi cal uncertainty would undermine investor confi dence. Against this backdrop, we envisage muted earnings growth for Asian companies. But we believe that our holdings, with their well tested management and solid balance sheets, will be able to weather the lean periods and emerge fi tt er to tap the region’s growing middle class and rising discreti onary spending over the long term.

TMLS GLOBAL EQUITY FUND01 January 2013 - 31 December 2013

Manager Comments

Market ReviewGlobal equiti es rallied signifi cantly during the year under review, generally thanks to supporti ve monetary policies and improved economic data. Dominati ng investor senti ment was the Federal Reserve’s repeated about-turns with regards to its views on tapering. Towards the end of the period, developed markets applauded the Fed’s long-awaited decision to reduce its asset purchases gradually from January 2014, which ended months of uncertainty. Senti ment also strengthened following loose monetary policy in the developed world, such as the European Central Bank’s unexpected rate cut, as well as the Bank of Japan’s conti nued eff orts to expand the monetary base, which weakened the yen.

Portf olio ReviewThe fund’s underperformance was a result of both negati ve asset allocati on and stock selecti on. The non-benchmark exposure to Brazil cost the fund the most. Brazilian equiti es and the real were generally aff ected by slowing growth and violent protests. As such, our holdings, including Banco Bradesco, Petrobras and Vale, were among the main underperformers. Bradesco also suff ered from concerns over a lawsuit by depositors, which was dated back to the 90s and could cost the domesti c banking sector an esti mated US$65 billion. At present, the top court has suspended judgement on the case. The lender also forecast lower net interest income as a result of high interest rates. Although the government allowed Petrobras to raise fuel prices, it failed to meet the company’s request for a clear policy on phasing out fuel subsidies.

The underweight to Japan detracted from relati ve performance as well. The Japanese market outperformed most stockmarkets worldwide, as the economy responded to prime minister Shinzo Abe’s aggressive expansionary fi scal and monetary policies. Stock selecti on there was weak though. Shin-Etsu Chemical underperformed on concerns over demand for silicon wafers.

Against this, holdings that miti gated losses included UK telco Vodafone, which was the top contributor to relati ve return. Vodafone’s stock price rallied aft er its partner, Verizon, agreed to buy out its stake in their wireless joint venture. Speculati on of a possible takeover by US network company AT&T also boosted its stock. Our health care holdings miti gated losses as well. Roche gained aft er its arthriti s drug was approved for use in the European Union; it also formed a partnership with AstraZeneca to share research data, while Novarti s was supported by healthy operati ng profi ts.

Annual Report 2013 |13

In portf olio acti vity, we introduced US energy group Chevron, a well-managed integrated oil business with a solid asset base and stable growth driven by its upstream operati ons. We also initi ated positi ons in global miner BHP Billiton because of its high quality assets and att racti ve valuati ons, as well as South African-listed telecoms company MTN Group, given its att racti ve growth profi le, cash fl ow generati on and progressive dividend policy. Against this, we sold China Mobile and Japan’s Canon in view of more att racti ve investment opportuniti es elsewhere.

OutlookThe US Federal Reserve’s upcoming reducti on of its asset purchase programme will likely dominate investor senti ment in the fi rst quarter. Its future policy acti ons could add to market volati lity, but this is likely to be temporary. In Europe, economic acti vity could remain dependent on exports, although the euro’s strength portends headwinds ahead. The lack of meaningful signs of job creati on could mean high unemployment trends may conti nue. Additi onally, ongoing fi scal adjustments will hinder a recovery in domesti c demand for some ti me.

Investment and Market Review

2013 proved to be a very strong year for developed markets equiti es although other asset classes were more mixed. The spectacular rally last year helped key indices (MSCI World, S&P 500, Stoxx600) close 2013 at or near record territory. Away from developed markets equiti es, 2013 proved to be a relati vely subdued year for fi xed income performance. With the excepti on of the European periphery, total returns for the core government bond market were generally in the red. Indeed Treasuries, Gilts and Bunds were down -3.4%, -4.2% and -2.2% respecti vely.

The DWS Premier Select Trust delivered a return of 10.28% in 2013. Main contributors to performance were the equity positi ons with the DWS Global Equity Focus Fund returning +24.78%. At the same ti me, the DWS Lion Bond Fund was nearly fl at with +1.59%. However, our positi on in gold was a drag to the portf olio.

Market Outlook and Investment Strategy

The fund started the year with a ti lt towards equiti es as global growth should rebound to trend-level this year with most developed economies cutti ng fi scal defi cits slowly in 2013. The US GDP is poised to accelerate into 2014 as the severe fi scal ti ghtening of 2013 is signifi cantly relaxed.

However, on balance emerging economies are sti ll ti ghtening less than developed markets (-0.2% vs. -0.8% respecti vely). Therefore, emerging markets will grow faster in 2014 but remain vulnerable to the path of global interest rates, commodity prices, and politi cal instability. We expect investors to place a premium on countries that reform to raise growth potenti al.

Last but not least, main central banks can conti nue to sti mulate because infl ati on remains weak and outright defl ati on is unlikely. Summing up, we prefer developed market equiti es over emerging market equiti es.

Investment and Market Review2013 saw equity markets run up to record levels as recovering developed markets drove risk appeti tes higher, shrugging off the mid-year blip. The S&P Index gained 27% aft er momentum in US GDP growth built up over the second half of the year. US Treasuries yields fell for the fi rst half of the year before rising on the back of expectati ons that monetary policy would fi nally begin to normalise – the quanti tati ve easing (“QE”) taper. SGS yields similarly followed this trend but conti nued to lag behind at ti mes.

The US PMI Index indicated expansion almost throughout 2013, though the usual mid-year slowdown occurred in Apr-Jun’13. Industrial producti on grew steadily throughout, picking up momentum in Nov’13. This set the tone for an improving jobs market as unemployment fell to a cycle low of 7.0% with average hourly earnings rising about 2% year-on-year. Retail sales and housing prices also rose over the year and were supporti ve of the recovery narrati ve. Subdued infl ati on implies that the economy could potenti ally accommodate much more growth before the Fed needs to ti ghten meaningfully.

Meanwhile, the Eurozone also improved as politi cal hurdles were overcome, boosti ng confi dence. Ireland’s formal exit from the bailout could signal the end of more austerity. GDP growth stopped falling as spending and investments began to rise. Even the long-intractable unemployment rate looked poised to fall from its current 12% level.

In Asia, China’s politi cal leadership transiti on clarifi ed its medium term growth strategy whilst fi rmly turning against more credit-driven growth. The impending end of QE drove emerging Asian economies to start adjustments aimed at reversing credit and trade imbalances.

Singapore’s GDP growth was moderately strong, recovering from the mid-year slowdown to end at a 3.5%-4% year-on-year pace on the back of conti nued strong growth in Services and Constructi on, aided by a ti mely recovery in Manufacturing. Exports were relati vely weak over the year but began to recover in line with Manufacturing. Leading indicators such as the PMI indices were choppy as external demand rotated from China to the US and EU.

Annual Report 2013 |27

Market Outlook and Investment StrategyRelati ve growth momentum has shift ed decisively to developed economies. The Singapore economy must rebalance growth from investments to exports which may be tricky in the context of the ongoing structural reforms.

Interest rates globally have risen sharply from the May’13 lows and will likely rise further when the “QE taper” starts. Although liquidity will fall, SGD assets should remain in demand as a high quality alternati ve within Asia. Companies could see bett er operati ng environments on bett er external demand, resulti ng in subdued credit risk.

The Fund starts 2014 with a relati vely shorter durati on and will deploy capital in higher yielding instruments as the “QE taper” progresses. Credits remain the preferred overweight but acti ve durati on management will be necessary.

Manager Comments

Investment and Market ReviewThe fund outperformed the benchmark this year mainly due to good asset allocati on. The fund’s overweight positi on in Informati on Technology and positi ve stock selecti on in Health Care were the key contributors. Conversely, our stock selecti on in Informati on Technology and Consumer Discreti onary detracted the relati ve performance.

Chinese equiti es market ended lower in the beginning of the year. China’s new property measures introduced by the central government in early March, in an eff ort to curb red-hot property prices in Chinese citi es, dampened market senti ment. The equity markets declined further on comments concerning tapering of the Federal Reserve’s quanti tati ve easing program. Chinese equiti es were subsequently up strongly in the second half of the year on the back of the China’s Third Plemum of the country’s leaders in November. Announced reforms, from easing the one-child policy to pledging to give markets a ‘decisive role’ in resource allocati on, boosted senti ment for Chinese equiti es.

Market Outlook and Investment Strategy Following on from China’s landmark Third Plenum in November, and subsequent planned reforms, investors should remain conscious that economic rebalancing and reforms are long, drawn-out processes. Short term pain is likely to be felt when growth slows as the economy and companies make adjustments, with earnings and margins as a result coming under pressure. The reform process and its longer term success really rest on eventual policy details and implementati on. Following the initi al market euphoria, whether this momentum can be sustained into the longer term depends on the country’s leadership. Developments will require careful monitoring in 2014 and beyond, including China’s commitment to staying on course with their reform roadmap and plans, parti cularly in the face of growth and unemployment headwinds.

For long-term investors, even as the country’s growth rate slows near term, the transiti on from an investment-driven to consumer-led growth model off ers a promising structural backdrop for a variety of industries. The investment case for domesti c consumpti on and services sectors remains very much intact as urbanisati on conti nues apace, supported further by new tax policies. Opportuniti es in insurance, internet and technology are also driven by the increasing demand for goods and services, while clean energy-related industries, educati on and healthcare will receive further government support.

TMLS ASIAN BOND FUND01 January 2013 - 31 December 2013

Investment and Market ReviewMost Asian short-dated local currency bonds and currencies fell over the year, as US policy developments held sway over fi nancial markets. Towards the period-end, the Federal Reserve fi nally announced that it will start trimming bond purchases from 2014. The Indonesian market underperformed its regional peers by a wide margin, as hikes in interest rates and cuts in fuel subsidies deepened infl ati on worries. Short-dated yields spiked by more than 300 basis points, while the rupiah fell by almost 20% against the US dollar. In contrast, the Philippine market was resilient amid a supporti ve macroeconomic backdrop, although the peso was weak.

Portf olio Review The fund marginally underperformed the benchmark over the review period. The currency allocati ons weighed down performance, in parti cular, the exposure to the Indian rupee, Malaysian ringgit and Philippine peso. This was miti gated by the positi ve contributi on from interest rate strategies. The overweight to Malaysia and the Philippines contributed most to relati ve return, together with the exposure to the Chinese off shore market.

Outlook The manager remains biased towards reducing risk and positi oning the portf olio for higher rates over the next six months, given the start of the Fed tapering in January. The fund’s short durati on positi on conti nues to support its defensive bias. The manager maintains an underweight to markets with higher correlati ons to US Treasuries, including Hong Kong and Singapore. The manager reduced its Asian currency risk and moved to a long US dollar positi on by trimming the exposure to the Singapore dollar.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial StatementsManagement is responsible for the preparati on of the Statements in accordance with the accounti ng policies disclosed in Note 3. This includes determining that these accounti ng policies form an acceptable basis for the preparati on of the Statements in the circumstances, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable preparati on of the Statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on the Statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditi ng. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the enti ty’s preparati on of the Statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the eff ecti veness of the enti ty’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluati ng the appropriateness of the accounti ng policies used and the reasonableness of the accounti ng esti mates made by management as well as evaluati ng the overall presentati on of the Statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
