1st Annual General Meeting of the OCM Trust Management Committee
The 1st Annual General Meeting of the OCM Trust Management Committee Meeting was held at  on 14th June 2011 at OCM Boardroom.  The Trust Management Committee agreed in principle to disburse a maximum of RM50,000/= for the first half of 2011 and a maximum of RM200,000/= for the second half of 2011.  As only 5 NSAs had applied for grants from the OCM Trust Fund for the first half of 2011, each NSA would be granted a maximum of RM10,000/=.  The final grant to be approved would be based on the details provided by each of the 5 NSAs.

On the investments of the Trust Fund, the current value of the Trust Fund as at 10th June 2011 was RM13,641,432.99, which was an increase of RM529,548.36 or 4.07% from the last date of valuation, which was end of 2010.  The Committee decided that the current asset allocation of the fund was a little risky as around 54% of the fund was on equity.  The target was to reduce the equity portion to around 20%.
