^ With effect from 1 November 2017, the benchmark for the Singapore Dividend Equity Fund (i.e. Straits Times Index) has been removed and there will no longer be any benchmark for the Fund. This is because pursuant to the investment objective of this Fund, this Fund is managed on a total return basis and as such, it does not seek to outperform any benchmark. Prior to 1 July 2001, the benchmark was DBS 50 Index.
