2018 was a challenging year. Financial markets globally faced many uncertainties from changes in monetary policies, geopolitical tensions and trade disputes among major trading partners. Against this difficult backdrop, all financial markets were negatively impacted particularly during the 4th quarter, and our investments were similarly affected.
We remain committed to provide you with a wide range of funds invested in varied asset classes and geographical regions and will continue to work with our fund managers to ensure the quality of the investment performances to help you meet your financial goals.
We thank you for your continued trust and support.
Yours sincerely

Investment OutlookThe environment for 2019 grows increasingly challenging as the global economic cycle matures. At this turning point of global growth, geopolitical tensions, and central bank policy, markets have seen the return of volatility and drawdowns. The confluence of moderating growth, trade tensions and political risks has driven valuations to historically-attractive levels. With history as a guide, this may prove a compelling entry point for patient investors.
USGrowth in the US is expected to weaken to 2.6% in 2019. As the stimulus from tax reform wears off, growth will be underpinned by domestic consumption with strength in the labour market lifting wages. Inflationary pressure remains within Fed targets and is supportive of a pause in the rate hike cycle. That said, following the correction, valuations for US equities are no longer overvalued and closer to historical averages. Returns from equities are expected to moderate as profit margins come under pressure from slower growth and rising wages. However, two risks could shake confidence further. First, further deterioration in US-China trade conflicts and the rise of continued political tensions as US seeks to contain China’s rise. Second, a gridlocked US government could hamper policy making, while the potential investigations into President Trump’s business interests could increase uncertainty.
EuropeGrowth in Europe is likely to moderate to 1.6% in 2019, driven partly by a combination of factors. Transient factors such as weakness in the automobile industry from new emission standards will work out over time, while the weakness in the global trade outlook will take longer to resolve as China engineers a smooth slowdown. Inflationary pressures are likely to rise and monetary policy will be less supportive. The European Central Bank has stopped balance sheet expansion and guided rate hike expectations in the fourth quarter 2019. Politics in Europe remains a source of uncertainty and may increase in the May 2019 European parliament elections. Meanwhile, Italy and peripheral economies continue to push for regional fiscal tools, and the outlook remains uncertain with Brexit weighing down growth expectations for the UK.
JapanMarket valuations have reached historically-attractive levels. However, global economic indicators have weakened further across the major economies. The earnings outlook for Japanese companies has also weakened. Nevertheless, the domestic picture in Japan seems favourable and stable. Hence, on balance, Japanese stocks have retained their value proposition.

Asia Pacific ex JapanDespite the headwinds of macro risks, Asian equities are trading at relatively attractive valuations. Short of a recessionary environment, valuations are trading at near bottom levels. However, the key concerns remain with the impact of Fed rate hikes, and the potential risk of monetary policy mistakes and a possible global recession. In the near term, continuous positive dialogue between the US and China may pave the way for a de-escalation of trade tensions.
ConclusionWhile staying aware of risks, investors may adopt a selective mindset in a mature economic cycle. The investment environment will continue to pose challenges, and navigation through such uncertain times requires patience with portfolio diversification and prudent risk management.

AnnouncementChange of benchmark to GreatLink Global Technology Fund
The benchmark of the GreatLink Global Technology Fund is changed from the “MSCI AC World IT Free (Net) Index” to the “MSCI AC World Custom Technology Index, net of dividends reinvested, converted into Singapore dollars”, with effect from 1 January 2019. This customized index consists of all of the securities in the MSCI All Country World Index within the Information Technology sector, the Internet & Direct Marketing Retail industry within the Consumer Discretionary sector, the Interactive Media & Services industry within the Communications Services sector, and the Interactive Home Entertainment sub-industry within the Communications Services sector.
The new benchmark is more representative of the true opportunity set in the “technology” space after the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) updated the industry classification and introduced a new Communication Services sector to their industry classification scheme.
There is no change to the investment objective and no material change in the portfolio positioning.
GreatLink ASEAN Growth Fund and GreatLink Far East ex Japan Equities Fund (the “Fund”)
Effective 18 April 2019, the investment philosophy and process to the Fund shall be updated as below. The Manager, Lion Global Investors Limited, has provided more details to the process. The Fund’s respective investment objective remains the same. The updated fund details and product highlights sheet may be obtained at www.greateasternlife.com or through your financial representative on or around 18 April 2019.
ANNOUNCEMENT
Investment Philosophy
The Manager believes that Asian equity markets are structurally inefficient and this inefficiency provides the opportunity for the Manager to add value through a disciplined investment process. The Manager believes that consistent long term returns can be achieved through in-depth fundamental research, a disciplined focus on valuations, understanding what is “priced in” by the market and what the key stock catalysts are.

Investment Process
The investment process comprises research and portfolio construction. Research is a critical component to the Manager’s investment approach. Direct company management contact coupled with industry data and feedback form the backbone of the Manager’s research effort. Risk reward analysis for each stock combines fundamental bottom up analysis with a rigorous examination of stock drivers. Below are the key areas of the Manager’s focus:
Business• Industry outlook• Company’s trend in market share and profitability• Barriers to entry and pricing power dynamics• Business risks
Management• Business strategy• Execution track record• Corporate dynamics• Capital management potential, like share buybacks or dividend
payout increase
Valuation• Varied valuation approach depending on the industry and what
point of the cycle the industry is in• Valuation relative to historic range as well as at similar points of
the industry cycle• Valuation relative to market average
Catalysts• Positive/negative earnings surprises• M&A opportunities• Improving/deteriorating industry cycle• Restructuring/turnaround• Capital management/capital raising risks
The Manager constructs the portfolio in a manner consistent with the objective of the Fund as well as taking into account the prevailing macro directions and sector/thematic considerations. Positions in the Fund are sized according to several factors:• Expected returns based on fundamentals and valuations• Specific risk factors• Conviction on management’s ability to deliver• Liquidity and market capitalization

Funds managed by Lion Global Investors LtdThe soft dollar commissions from various brokers for the year were utilised on research and advisory services, economic and political analyses, portfolio analyses, market analyses, data and quotation analyses and computer hardware and software used for and in support of the investment process of fund managers. Goods and services received were for the benefit of the scheme and there was no churning of trades. These brokers also execute trades for other funds managed by the managers. The trades are conducted on best available terms and in accordance with best practices.
Fund managed by AllianceBernstein (Singapore) Ltd *For the period ended 31 December 2018, the Investment Manager does receive and has entered into soft-dollar commissions/arrangements with brokers relating to portfolios of the Underlying Fund that invest in equity securities, in respect of which certain goods and services used to support the investment decision making process were received. The soft commission arrangements were entered into on the basis that the execution of transactions on behalf of the Underlying Fund will be consistent with best execution standards and brokerage rates will not be in excess of customary institutional full-service brokerage rates. The goods and services received include specialist industry, company and consumer research, portfolio and market analysis and computer software used for the delivery of such services. The nature of the goods and services received is such that the benefits provided under the arrangement must be those which assist in the provision of investment services to the Underlying Fund and may contribute to an improvement in the Underlying Fund's performance.
For the avoidance of doubt, such goods and services do not include travel, accommodations, entertainment, general administrative goods or services, general office equipment or premises, membership fees, employees' salaries or direct money payments. Disclosure of soft commission arrangements will be made in the periodic reports of the Underlying Fund.
* AllianceBernstein (Singapore) Ltd has confirmed that their Investment Professionals are strictly prohibited from engaging in any portfolio or market manipulative practices, including, but not limited to churning of trade. The Investment Manager will not enter into unnecessary trades in order to qualify for soft-dollar commissions/arrangements.
Fund managed by JPMorgan Asset Management (Singapore) Ltd **The Investment Managers or Sub-Investment Managers (where applicable), may enter into commission sharing arrangements only where there is a direct and identifiable benefit to the clients of the Investment Managers or Sub-Investment Managers (where applicable), including the Fund, and where the Investment Managers or Sub-Investment Managers (where applicable), are satisfied that the transactions generating the shared commissions are made in good faith, in strict compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in the best interests of the Fund and the Shareholders. Any such arrangements must be made by the Investment Managers or Sub-Investment Managers (where applicable), on terms commensurate with best market practice. Due to their local regulatory rights, certain Investment Managers or Sub-Investment Managers (where applicable), may make use of soft commission to pay for research or execution services. Other jurisdictions may have other arrangements in place to pay for such services in accordance with local regulatory obligations. From 1 January 2018, only certain Sub-Funds as disclosed on www.jpmorganam.com.sg may use commission sharing/soft commission to pay for external research.

SOFT DOLLAR COMMISSIONS report as at 31 December 2018
Fund managed by Schroders Investment Management (Singapore) LtdIn the management of the Fund, the Manager may accept soft dollar commissions from, or enter into soft dollar arrangements with, stockbrokers who execute trades on behalf of the Fund and the soft dollars received are restricted to the following kinds of services:
(i) research, analysis or price information; (ii) performance measurement; (iii) portfolio valuations; and (iv) administration services.
The Manager may not receive or enter into soft dollar commissions or arrangements unless (a) such soft dollar commissions or arrangements shall reasonably assist the Manager in their management of the Fund, (b) best execution is carried out for the transactions, and (c) that no unnecessary trades are entered into in order to qualify for such soft dollar commissions or arrangements. The Manager shall not receive goods and services such as travel, accommodation and entertainment.
Fund managed by Capital GroupPrior to January 1, 2019, we had a long-standing practice of paying for our external research from client commissions and our own resources. Where we used client commissions to pay for third-party research, we utilized Commission Sharing Arrangements (or “CSAs”). Our CSAs separated – or “unbundled” – charges for research and execution. Our approach was designed to meet regulatory requirements across the multiple jurisdictions in which we operated, while ensuring that each client, no matter their location or the size of the assets that we managed for them, was able to benefit from the research resources and terms available to an asset manager of our size.
However, we are pleased to be able to inform you that Capital Group has decided, as of 1 January 2019, to bear the costs of all third-party investment research services for all client accounts it advises, including for CGEGILU, the fund in which Great Eastern is currently invested.

2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESa. Basis of accounting The financial statements are expressed in Singapore dollars, and are prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention,
except for investments and derivatives which are carried at fair value.
b. Recognition of income and expenses Dividend income is recognised when the shareholders' right to receive payment is established. Interest income is recognised
using the effective interest method.
Expenses are recognised on an accrual basis.
c. Investments All purchases of investments are recognised on their trade dates, i.e., the date the commitment exists to purchase the
investments. The investments are initially recorded at fair value (or cost representing fair value on trade date) which would include transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the investments. After initial recognition, the unrealised gains or losses on remeasurement to fair value are taken to the capital account. Fair value is determined by using open market valuation at the year-end date. The closing price has been adopted for all investments except for quoted equity investments. For equity investments traded on exchanges, fair value is derived from the last traded price on the respective exchange.
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
Notes
to th
e Acc
ounts
113
Certain investments have been valued using valuation techniques based on assumptions that are supported by prices from observable current market transactions. The valuation of these investments have either been provided by brokers or counterparties or valued using internal models.
d. Realised gains/losses from sale of investments All sales of investments are recognised on their trade dates i.e., the date the fund commits to sell the investments.
Realised gains/losses from sale of investments are taken to the Capital Account.
e. Foreign currency transactions Foreign currency transactions are translated into Singapore dollars at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates and
foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the approximate rates ruling at year end. Differences on exchange are included in the Capital Account.
f. Derivative financial instruments All derivatives including embedded derivatives are carried at fair value. All fair value changes on derivatives are taken to the
Capital Account. The closing price has been adopted for the valuation of derivatives.
3 DERIVATIVES The GreatLink Funds enter into derivative contracts for the purposes of hedging foreign currency and interest risk exposures,
and efficient portfolio management. The derivative contracts traded include foreign exchange forward contracts, foreign exchange spot contracts, futures and rights.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT FOR FUNDSTo the Board of Directors of The Great Eastern Life Assurance Company Limited
OPINIONWe have audited the financial statements of GreatLink Funds (“Funds”) of The Great Eastern Life Assurance Company Limited (“Company”), set out on pages 102 to 113 which comprise the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as at 31 December 2018, the Capital Account for the year end ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, as set out in Note 2 to the accounts.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements of the Funds for the year ended 31 December 2018 are prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 2 to the accounts.
BASIS FOR OPINIONWe conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing (“SSAs”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements of the Funds section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the Funds in accordance with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (“ACRA”) Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Public Accountants and Accounting Entities (“ACRA Code”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Singapore, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ACRA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
OTHER INFORMATION Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Message, Investment Outlook, Announcement and Fund Factsheets, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
EMPHASIS OF MATTER – BASIS OF ACCOUNTINGWe draw attention to Note 2 to the accounts, which describes the basis of accounting. The financial statements are prepared to assist the Company to comply with the requirements of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (“MAS”) Notice 307 Investment-Linked Life Insurance Policies. As a result, the financial statements may not be suitable for another purpose. Our report is intended solely for the use of the Company. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND DIRECTORS FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSManagement is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements of the Funds in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 2 and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Funds’ ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Funds or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The directors are responsible for overseeing the Funds financial reporting process.
AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSOur objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
As part of an audit in accordance with SSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of these financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates, and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Funds’ ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Funds to cease to continue as a going concern.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
