CIMB Evergreen Index tracks a wide range of markets across major economic regions and asset classes. It will adopts a Risk/Return Optimisation strategy by finding the best possible asset class allocations to maximise returns with controlled volatility (Standard Deviation) of around 10%.

CIMB Evergreen Index also adopts a Long/Short strategy which proactively trades when markets are bullish or bearish.

CIMB is doing a Monte Carlo simulation on the fund performance based on historical data. The parameters used to generate the 3 scenarios are more conservative than the actual realised historical parameters since 6 June 2002.
