Filipino Fund, Inc. is a closed-end investment company registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act. It is externally managed by AB Capital & Investment Corporation, which is responsible for the Fund’s portfolio management, administration, and day-to-day operations.
The Board of Directors oversees risk management at the Fund level. While no Board Risk Oversight Committee has been created, considering the Fund’s size, risk profile, and operational simplicity, the Board has stated that one may be established in the future if warranted.
Risk management functions are primarily embedded in the operations of AB Capital, which maintains its own Chief Risk Officer and internal risk management protocols. The Board monitors the performance of the Fund Manager and ensures that a sound enterprise risk management framework is in place to manage financial, operational, and regulatory risks appropriately.
The Board, thus far, has deemed it not necessary to create a Related Party Transactions Committee, considering the Corporation’s current size, risk profile and complexity of operations. However, all related party transactions shall be reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee. Please refer to attached link.
