3.5 Market Review, Outlook and Strategy
3.5.1 Malaysian Bond Market
3.5.1.1 Bond Market Review
The Malaysian bond market made history on 8th February 2013 with the debut of the firstretail bond which was issued by DanaInfra Nasional Berhad. Although bonds is relativelya new asset class to most retailers, we believe participation rate has the potential toincrease as retail investors become more knowledgeable about the advantages ofdiversification and having a fixed income component in their portfolios.
Market conditions in the Malaysian fixed income market throughout the early part of the1st half of 2013 might be described as relatively positive with, the overnight policy rate(OPR) maintained at 3.00%. According to Bank Negara Malaysia’s Monetary PolicyCommittee (MPC), the stance on monetary policy was considered to be appropriate giventhe outlook for inflation and growth. Buying interests were also attributed to quantitativeeasing measures undertaken in the US, with some of the liquidity flowing to emergingmarkets for their higher yields. Malaysia has been one of the beneficiaries, for instance,foreign holdings in local currency government bonds surged to 31.2% as end-March 2013from 13.3% as at end-December 2009.
Post-election, which was in the early month of May, the Malaysian Government Securities(MGS) garnered further buying interest as the ruling coalition, Barisan Nasional wasreturned to power. It resulted in a surged in capital flows which brought yields of shortdated MGS to below 3.00%. However, prices slumped towards the end of May and Juneon concerns that the scaling back of the quantitative measures in the US may cause ahike in interest rates. The market seems braced for an outflow by foreign investors hencethe softening bond prices.
That being said, we do not expect a total withdrawal of foreign participation in the localbond market as interest rate differential between US and Malaysia still means thatMalaysia remains a good investment destination for foreign investors. Furthermore,

Malaysia’s strong macroeconomic fundamentals as well as stable sovereign credit ratingwould continue to be supportive of the local bond market.
3.5.1.2 Bond Market Outlook and Strategy
Looking ahead, there is growing conviction that the Federal Reserve’s massive bondpurchases may be scaled back following the late May announcement by Federal ReserveChairman Ben Bernanke that it would be appropriate to moderate the monthly pace ofpurchases later this year and perhaps end the program by mid-2014, subject to the USeconomic recovery continuing its present trajectory.
In view of this, we do not discount the possibility of a hike in the Malaysian OPR rate in theyear 2014. Although inflation rate remains manageable at 1.8% in May, it could inchhigher towards the end of the year 2013 on the back of the minimum wage policy, tightdomestic labour market and potential reduction in subsidies.
Due to the challenging economic and financial environments, we would continue to adopta prudent credit assessment approach in any purchase of fixed income securities. Thus,issuers’ credit profile, management, financial performance, asset quality, risk managementand industry outlook rank high on our list of purchase criteria. We would continue to focuson investment grade bonds/sukuk. Further, in view of the interest rate outlook, we aremaintaining our stance of investing in fixed income securities with a maturity of less than 3years in order to mitigate interest rate risk.
3.5.2 Stock Markets Review
3.5.2.1 Malaysia Market – Bursa Malaysia Securities
For the first half of 2013, the FBM KLCI registered a gain of 5.0%, slightly bettercompared to the 4.5% gain registered in the same period last year. The Index wasgenerally traded range bound in the first three months amid generally weaker resultsreported by companies and investors anticipation towards the announcement ofparliament dissolution and the General Election. It surged right after the results of theGeneral Elections was announced. After reaching its all-time high of 1,788.43 on 14 May2013, the KLCI entered into a correction phase, mainly due to the concerns onquantitative tapering by Federal Reserve and slowdown in China’s economy growth,. TheIndex closed at 1,773.54 points as at end of June 2013.
Gross domestic product expanded by 4.1% y.o.y in first quarter 2013, slower than the6.5% y.o.y growth recorded in fourth quarter 2012 and 5.5% median expectation ofeconomists. The external environment remains a major worry for Malaysia’s economy,with sluggish US growth and the downturn in the Eurozone. Bank Negara has maintaineda GDP growth of 5% to 6% for 2013, led by private investment growth mid an improvingexternal trade landscape.
Inflation in May inched up to 1.8% y.o.y in May after rising to 1.7% in April mainly due to afaster increase in the core inflation rate. This was mainly due to the increase in the prices

of food and non-alcoholic beverages as well as miscellaneous goods and services. Thebenchmark interest rate was maintained at 3.00% throughout the first half 2013 since itwas last adjusted from 2.75% in 2011. The inflation is expected to remain benign for therest of the year.
Trade surplus narrowed to RM943 mil in April compared to the surplus of RM4.9 bil inMarch. The trade surplus was at 16-year low, driven by the lower shipments to China,Japan and European Union. The narrowing trade balance should remain a theme for therest of the year, as the exports tail off with lower commodity prices and uncertainties inexternal demand.
We remain cautiously optimistic on the Malaysia economy given the resilient domesticdemand, supported by stable consumer spending, young population and favourablelabour market conditions. We are positive on the construction, property and oil & gassectors, which will benefit from the pick-up in business activities and the on-going roll-outof economic transformation programme. We continue to take profit on stocks which areovervalued. We believe the current market volatility provides opportunity to position ourportfolio holdings. Going forward, we remain selective and continue to invest inundervalued stocks. We would also like to concentrate on Malaysia small and mid-capundervalued stocks as valuation is cheaper than the big cap stocks..
3.5.2.2 Singapore Market - Singapore Exchange (SGX)
The FSSTI index closed the half year marginally down 0.53% at 3,150.44 points on theback of concerns that the tapering of the bond purchases in US may have significantnegative implications for the financial markets. SGD depreciated 3.50% against the USDto close at 1.2646 on weak export outlook.
According to the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI), Singapore’s 1Q2013 grew by 0.2%y.o.y which was slower than the 1.5% growth seen in the 4Q2012. Due to the challengingeconomic outlook, the MTI maintained its 2013 GDP growth forecast at 1.0% to 3.0%.
Singapore’s May inflation rate was at 1.6%, lower than the consensus estimate of 1.7%.Should the haze situation persist, there may be downward pressure on prices especiallyin the tourism sector.
In the 1st quarter of 2013, unemployment rate in Singapore increased to 1.9% from 1.8%the previous quarter. Understandably, unemployment rate in Singapore remains low withdemand for professional talent buoyant supported by domestic-oriented activities.
Going forward, we expect moderate economic growth for Singapore backed by theconstruction and financial services sectors. Although the FSSTI index is no longer cheap,we believe the downside for the FSSTI index remains limited for its “safe haven” statusamong investors.

3.5.2.3 Hong Kong/ China Market – Hong Kong Exchanges (HKSE)
The Hang Seng Index for 1H13 closed at 20,803, down by 8.1% comparing to the2H12. This was due to China’s weaker macro figures. Those that contributed to theindex decline for the period were CNOOC, CCB and Petro China. However stocks likeTencent, AIA Group and Hengan limit the downside.
In Hong Kong, the exports picked up in Mar, growing by 11.2% y.o.y after a drop of16.9% in Feb as a result of seasonal distortions and compared with +0.3% in Jan-Feb.The rebound in exports was mainly fuelled by stronger demand from most major Asianmarkets, including Mainland China, and a lower base of 2012. Exports to majoradvanced economies, on the other hand, remained weak. The recent reported retailsales growth slowed in May. Based on value of sales, retail sales rose 12.8% y.o.y,weaker than market consensus estimate of a 19.4% increase and compared with+20.7% in Apr. The lower than expected retail sales was mainly due to a fall in thesales of consumer durable goods and slower sales of jewellery, watches and valuablegifts, although the latter posted the biggest growth among all the retail categories inMay.
The China industrial production and FAI growth were slightly lower than marketexpectation in May 13, the However we feel that the broad picture shows China’seconomy has stabilized. Although growth may not pick up quickly, but it is unlikely forthe economy to further deteriorate in the near term. The government will take thischance to speed up its economic restructuring and resolve the overcapacity problemfor industrial sectors.CPI in China was pulled down by easing vegetable price given improved weathercondition, but the rebound of pork price will gradually push up the headline CPI in thelonger term. Meanwhile, demand recovery remained slow, as shown by lower-than-expected PPI reading. Liquidity condition will be hard to predict going forward, giventhe surge in short-term rates. However, it is likely the central bank will stay with openmarket operations in the near term to curb the increase.
Both export and import growth in China surprised the market on the downside, giventhe government’s crackdown on unreliable trade data. As external demand remainedweak, a significant improvement in export and the growth rate will stay in the single-digit level in the next few months. But import growth is likely to be supported by state-led investment activities in the medium term, along with support from a low baseeffect.
In line with the consensus, China’s official manufacturing PMI fell to 50.1 in June from50.8 in May, suggesting a slowdown in manufacturing expansion. However the figureis still pointing to a growing manufacturing sector in China although the pace ofexpansion has slowed partly due to a weak recovery in domestic demand andunfavourable foreign orders. In 2Q13, the official PMI remained in the expansionterritory with an average reading of 50.5, similar to the previous quarter. Based on thedata we believed that overall manufacturing activity has remained broadly stable,although certain industries would continue to face downside risks from over-investment and on-going government policies to eliminate inefficient productioncapacity. The Chinese economy should be able to sustain its growth in 2013, with thecontinued expansion in the manufacturing sector in the coming quarters as global

3.5.2.4 Indonesia Market – Jakarta Stock Exchange (JSE)
The Indonesian stock market was the top performing market in the first half of 2013 asthe JCI rose by 11.6% in local currency terms to close at 4,819 points. The Rupiahdepreciated by 2.1% against the Dollar to close the 1H13 at IDR10,004/USD.
Bank Indonesia (BI) increased its benchmark rate (BI rate) by 25 bps to 6.00% in Juneafter it was maintained at 5.75% since February 2012. The surprising but well receiveddecision was made as a pre-emptive response to the inflation outlook after thegovernment had cut the subsidies for fuel, increasing the subsidized fuel prices by 33%on average.
Inflation had been inching up after the government implemented a minimum wage policyand increased the electricity tariffs earlier this year. CPI inflation in June increased to5.9% y.o.y from the 5.47% recorded in May, mainly due to the higher food prices inanticipation of the fuel price hike announcement in late June. The Central Bank said itexpects inflation to peak at 8.0% after the fuel hike, but slow down to 7.6%, and revert to4.5% in FY14.
GDP growth continued to slow down to 6.02% y.o.y in 1Q13 compared to the 6.11% pacerecorded in 4Q12. The full year of 2012 growth was recorded at 6.23%. Bank Indonesia,in its latest June Monetary Policy Report forecasted the 2Q13 GDP growth to dip belowthat of the preceding quarter on continued weakness of the global economic conditionespecially in Europe and China. A slight slowdown in the domestic consumption was alsoexpected amid rising inflation.
Moody’s Investor Service has appreciated Indonesia’s government move in raisingsubsidized fuel prices as an effort to provide healthier 2013 state budget. Fitch Ratingalso has affirmed Indonesia’s sovereign rating of “BBB-“ and “stable” outlook as higherfuel prices could ease overheating symptoms and provide improved fundamentals onIndonesia’s economy over the longer term. On the other hand, Standard & Poor’sbelieves the impact of the fuel-price hike would be minimal. It downgraded Indonesia’scredit rating outlook to “stable” from “positive” in May due to uncertainty over theincreasing fuel subsidies.
We are in the view that the government’s move to increase subsidized fuel prices wouldbe good for the economy in the long term as the government would have the fiscal roomto stimulate it should the growth undershoots. While being cautiously optimistic on theIndonesian market, we will continue to follow our philosophy in the search for stocks withvalue and growth.

3.5.2.5 Thailand Market – Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET)
The SET index wrapped with a total return of 1.5% for the 1H13 in local currency terms toend at 1451.9 points. CPI tumbled 33.6% and core inflation plunged 44.7% during the firsthalf of the year as the government administered controls and tightening measures.Headline CPI averaged at 2.71% and inflation remained benign at 2.5% at end June. TheBath depreciated by 4.0% against US Dollar to Baht31.05 compared to US Dollar toBaht29.85 in January.
Strong index gain was contributed by mixed sector performances by various domesticand external sectors in the first two months. Thailand remained strong regionally, butbegan battling turbulences leading into March, regarding market concerns on the postrapid appreciation of baht, changes in margin loans together with negative news onpolitics which involved the rice pledging scheme. Steeping into 2Q13, the index startedwith a plunged of almost 5% in the first week over potential measures to curb lending bythe central bank on concerns over surging property and equities trade and the ruling onPrime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra’s assets concealment charges. The Monetary PolicyCommittee decided to bring the policy rate down by 25bp to 2.5% from 2.75% previouslyon the 29th of May, citing weaker-than-expected global recovery which led to weaker-than-expected GDP growth and inflation conditions. Production output was weaker thanexpected for the second month in June and exports fell 3.1% m.o.m with both auto andelectronics exports falling in the month. On the 30th of June, His Majesty the Kingendorsed Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra’s fifth cabinet.
Thailand’s market performance for 1H13 took many investors by surprise as the yearstarted off riding high but took the opposite direction starting May. The month of Junerecorded Thailand as one of the worst performing market in Asia, driven by a hugeforeign sell down. We believe this wave will linger for a while and therefore we arecautiously on the watch for hidden gems going into 2H13 as the Thai market mightcorrect when the majority investors perceive the SET index has bottom up.
3.5.2.6 Taiwan Stock Market – Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE)
The TWSE increased by 4.7% year to date to close at 8,062.21 points as at end of June,mainly due to further policy stimulus by government to boost economy, such as the newlysigned Taiwan Strait Services Trade Pact, more cross-strait collaboration in tourism andfinancial industries and the implementation of free economic pilot zone projects. TheTaiwanese Dollar depreciated by 3.17% against US Dollar to TWD29.982/USD.
Taiwan export orders dropped for the 4th consecutive month in May, indicating that itsexport outlook remains flattish. Export orders increased slightly (+1.8% m.om) in May butdeclined 0.4% y.o.y. Total exports for the first five months stood at USD17.4 mil, adecrease of 1.4% as compared to preceding period last year. This was mainly due tolower export to Europe and Japan, which dropped 6.8% y.o.y and 16.5% y.o.yrespectively.
Taiwan’s economy grew 1.54% y.o.y in first quarter 2013, weighed down by sluggishexports and private consumption. The growth was well down from the 3.72% growth inthe fourth quarter 2013. In addition, the figure was barely half of the 3.26% growth

estimated by the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics. As a result ofweaker than expected GDP growth in first quarter 2013, the government has lowered its2013 GDP growth forecast to 2.4% from initial forecast of 3.59%.
For technology sector, the PC shipments are expected to fall given the shift fromcomputers to tablets continues to gather momentum. The smart phone supply chain isexpected to benefit from the increasing demand in emerging market, especially the low-end smart phone segments. In addition, there are many new Apple’s products in thepipeline, including iPhone 5s, low-cost iPhone, iPad 5 and iPad mini 2. The Apple’ssupply chain is expected to benefit from the upcoming new launches in second half 2013.
Looking ahead, Taiwan economy growth, which is highly dependent on the export sector,would be capped by the flattish global economic outlook, slower growth in China and fundoutflow caused by the concerns of quantitative tapering by Federal Reserve.
3.5.2.7 Philippine Market – The Philippines Stock Exchange (PSE)
The PSEi was the one of the best performing market in the region for the first half of2013, rising by 11.2% in local currency terms to close at 6,465.25 points. Pesodepreciated 5.2% against the USD to PHP43.135 /USD.
Philippine 1Q13 GDP surprised the market with a 7.8% y.o.y growth, up from a revised7.1% in the fourth quarter of 2012 thanks to government expenditure and privateconsumption.
The Monetary Board of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) maintained the interest rateovernight borrowing and lending rates unchanged at 3.5% and 5.5% respectively. On theother hand, BSP cut the interest rate on special deposit accounts (SDAs) three times in1H13 to 2%.
Overseas foreign worker (OFW) remittances rose by 6% y.o.y in April to USD1.8 bil. On acumulative basis, 4 months 2013 remittances reached USD6.9 bil, a 5.7% y.o.y growth,above the BSP’s 5% growth forecast for the year.
Fitch has become the first credit rating agency to raise Philippines’ credit rating toinvestment grade, cited persistent current account surplus and stable growth trajectory.Subsequently, Standard & Poor’s followed suit to become the second rating agency togive Philippines an investment grade rating.
The Philippine market is expected to be challenging due to its high valuation of 19x 2013PE and worries on external economics especially on potential QE tapering in the US andChina credit squeeze. We remain watchful on the Philippine market after the recent selldown but eyeing on high dividend-yielding stocks and undervalued growth companies.

3.5.2.8 Korea Market – Korean Stock Exchanges (KSE)
The KOSPI index declined 6.07% to close at 1,863.32 points on concerns that the SouthKorean economy may be affected by an economic slowdown in China. Heightenedgeopolitical risks (from the military posturings by North Korea) and the weak Japaneseyen caused the KRW to depreciate by 7.30% against the USD to close at 1,142.06 in1H13.
For the 1st quarter of 2013, South Korea’s GDP grew by 1.5% y.o.y. On a q.o.q basis, theeconomy grew by 0.8%. According to the Bank of Korea, the country’s growth trajectoryremains largely intact based on the latest set of economic data.
For the month of June, inflation increased by 1.0% from a year earlier. Due to thepersistently stable prices of farm goods and oil, we expect inflationary pressure to remainlow in the coming quarters.
The unemployment rate in South Korea inched marginally higher to 3.2% in May from3.1% April. Job prospects in South Korea may continue to be sluggish in the immediateterm due to a slowdown in the manufacturing sector.
We expect the KOPSI index to remain range bound on concerns that there could bedownward revision in earnings in the 2nd half of the year due to sluggish economicoutlook. In addition, the sharp depreciation on the Japanese yen may continue to hurt thecompetitiveness of Korean exporters.
3.5.2.9 Australian Stock Market
The ASX 200 index recorded a gain of 3.3% to close the 1H13 at 4,803 points, retreatingafter a strong run-up in April. The Aussie Dollar depreciated by 13.6% against the USDollar to AUD1.09/USD.
Australia’s GDP grew just 0.6% q.o.q in 1Q, yielding a growth of 2.5% y.o.y (+3.1% in4Q12), the slowest pace since mid-2011. The expansion was supported by 1% rise inexports and a rise in in household spending of 0.3% but they failed to offset a sharp dropin government investment.
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) cut its benchmark interest rate by 25bps to a recordlow of 2.75% in May. The benign inflation outlook, a softening labour market, and anelevated currency that had been negatively affecting manufacturing gave the central bankthe scope for easing.
The CPI rose only by 2.5% y.o.y and 0.4% q.o.q in 1Q. The low 1Q outcome was mainlydue to the declines in the prices of fruits, vegetables, and auto fuel. The previous CPIwas 2.2% and economists were expecting 2.8% for 1Q. Although it has improved, thesubdued inflation rate is expected to increase the possibility of further interest rate cut.

3.5.3 Market Outlook and Strategy
The MSCI Far East ex-Japan (USD) declined by 6.84% in 1H2013, underperforming theMSCI World index which rose 7.1%. During the 1st half of the year, institutional fundswere seen reducing their exposures to emerging markets in favour of the developedmarkets. This has been due mainly to data which shows the US economy has beengaining traction with steady job growth and continued recovery in the housing market.The Dow Jones Industrial index managed to register a gain of 13.8% for the 1st half of2013 – during which it recorded a new record high. Within the Asia ex-Japan equitymarkets, the top three performing markets were Vietnam (+16.3%), Indonesia (+11.6%)and Philippines (+11.2%). On the other hand, the worst performing markets were ChinaH-Shares (-18.6%), Hong Kong (-8.2%) and Korea (-6.7%).
Global stock markets rallied at the beginning of the year following a short-term deal thatstaved-off US “fiscal cliff”. However, major pullbacks were seen in the equities markettowards the month of June with investors turning cautious at the potential tapering off ofthe monthly bond purchases (under QE3). The concern was that the ultra-low borrowingrates which have helped to support economic growth and drive equity stocks to its all-timehigh may come to an end more sooner than later. China, which has been a major driverof global growth has also shown signs of an economic slowdown, The World Bankslashed China’s economic growth forecast this year to 7.7% from 8.4%, warning of apotentially “sharp” slowdown due to a fall in investment.
In anticipation of a potentially higher interest rate environment and a reduction of liquidityin the financial markets, we are taking profit on selective stocks. We would not be overlyconcerned about the prospect for a tapering of the quantitative easing in the US, as webelieve it would be done on a gradual basis without seriously harming the US economicrecovery.
We are cautiously optimistic on the Asia Pacific ex-Japan equity market region backed bya combination of improving demand and unchallenging valuations. We believe thefundamentals of the economy of the region remain largely intact backed by investments ininfrastructures and favourable fiscal and monetary policies.
Among the Asia-Pacific ex-Japan region, we are overweight on Hong Kong/China due itsundemanding valuation where both the price to book and price to earnings ratios aretrading below their longer term historical averages. Although there are signs that China isfacing an economic slowdown, we believe China would avoid a hard landing. In fact,China’s projected GDP growth is still one of the highest in the world and it may beunjustifiable for the Hong Kong/China equity markets to trade at their historical lows.
We would continue to adopt our value approach to investment, which is buying equitieswhich are fundamentally undervalued and that offer good upside potential. In addition, wewould take profit on stocks which have rallied beyond their fundamentals. In the eventthat we believe that the equities market is near its peak, we may seek to trim our equityexposure as we do not believe in fully invested at all times. Conversely, we may seek toincrease the equity exposures of the funds when we believe that the equity market isrelatively undervalued.

2.4 Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Financial Assets
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL")
Financial assets are recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, theFund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instruments. Regular way ofpurchase and sale of investments in financial instruments are recognised on trade dates. Whenfinancial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus attributabletransaction cost, for investment not at fair value through profit or loss.
The Fund determines the classification of its financial assets at the initial recognition, and thecategories include financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financialassets and loans and receivables.
The Fund will adopt the above MFRSs and amendments to MFRSs when they become effectiveand they are not expected to have any significant impact on the financial statements of the Fundupon their initial application other than the classification and measurement of financial assetsunder MFRS 9. MFRS 9 replaces the multiple classification and measurement models in MFRS139 with a single model that classifies financial assets into only two categories: measured at fairvalue through profit or loss, or at amortised cost, depending on the entity's business model formanaging the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets.
Financial assets are classified as financial assets at FVTPL if they are held for trading or aredesignated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets held for trading includesecurities and fixed income securities and collective investment schemes acquiredprincipally for the purpose of selling them in near term.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at thedate of the statement of financial position. Changes in the fair value of those financialinstruments are recorded in "Net gain or loss on financial assets at FVTPL". Interest earnedand dividend revenue elements of such instruments are recorded separately in "Interestincome" and "Gross dividend income", respectively. Foreign exchange differences onfinancial assets at FVTPL are not recognised separately in profit and loss but are included innet gain or net loss on changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTPL.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)
(a) Financial Assets (Contd.)
(ii) Available-for-sale ("AFS") financial assets
(iii) Loans and receivables
AFS financial assets are financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are notclassified as financial assets at FVTPL or loans and receivables.
After initial recognition, AFS financial assets are measured at fair value. Gains or lossesfrom changes in fair value of the AFS financial assets are recognised in other comprehensiveincome, except that impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losses on monetaryinstruments, dividend income and interest income calculated using effective interest methodare recognised in profit or loss.
The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income isreclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment when the financialasset is derecognised. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method isrecognised in profit or loss. Dividends on an AFS equity instrument are recognised in profitor loss when the Fund's right to receive payment is established.
Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or liability settled, betweenknowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction. The fair value for financialinstruments traded in active markets at the reporting date is based on their quoted price orbinding dealer price quotations, without deduction for transaction costs.
A financial asset is derecognised when the asset is disposed and the contractual right toreceive cash flows from the asset has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in itsentirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the considerationreceived and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensiveincome is recognised in profit or loss.
Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that requiredelivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in themarket place concerned. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets arerecognised or derecognised on trade date, i.e. the date that the Fund commit to purchase orsell the asset.
Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active marketare classified as loans and receivables. The Fund includes short term receivables such asbalances due from broker, Manager and other receivables in the classification. Loans andreceivables are recognised initially at fair value including transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised costusing effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when theloans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.

(b) Impairment of Financial Assets
(i) AFS financial assets
(ii) Trade and other receivables and other financial assets carried at amortised cost
The Fund assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financialasset is impaired.
Significant or prolonged decline in fair value below cost, significant financial difficulties ofthe issuer or obligor, and the disappearance of an active trading market are considerations todetermine whether there is objective evidence that investment securities classified as AFSfinancial assets are impaired.
If an AFS financial asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost(net of any principal payment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less anyimpairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss, is transferred from equity to profitor loss.
Impairment losses on AFS equity investments are not reversed in profit or loss in thesubsequent periods. Increase in fair value, if any, subsequent to impairment loss isrecognised in other comprehensive income. For AFS debt investments, impairment lossesare subsequently reversed in profit or loss, up to the amount previously recognised asimpairment loss, if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively relatedto an event occuring after the recognition of the impairment loss in profit or loss.
To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assetshas been incurred, the Fund considers factors such as the probability of insolvency orsignificant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments.
If any such evidence exists, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the differencebetween the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flowsdiscounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss isrecognised in profit or loss.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for allfinancial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the amount is reduced throughthe use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable becomes uncollectible, it is writtenoff against allowance account.
If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can berelated objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previouslyrecognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset doesnot exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in profitor loss.

(c) Classification of Realised and Unrealised Gain and Losses
(d) Financial Liabilities
(e) Foreign Currencies
Unrealised gain and losses comprise changes in fair value of financial instruments for the periodfrom reversal of prior period's unrealised gain and losses for financial instruments which wererealised (i.e. sold, redeemed or matured) during the reporting period.
Realised gains and losses on disposals of financial instruments classified as part of "at fair valuethrough profit or loss" are calculated using weighted average method. They represent thedifference between an instrument's initial carrying amount and disposal amount, or cashpayments or receipts made of derivative contracts (excluding payments or receipts on collateralmargin accounts for such instruments).
Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangementsentered into and the definitions of a financial liability.
Financial liabilities, within the scope of MFRS 139, are recognised in the statement of financialposition when, and only when, the Fund become a party to the contractual provisions of thefinancial instrument. Financial liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities.
The Fund's financial liabilities which include amount due to broker, Manager and other payablesare recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and subsequentlymeasured at the amortised cost using effective interest method.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished. Gainsand losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through theamortisation process.
The financial statements of the Fund are measured using the currency of the primary economicenvironment in which the Fund operates ("the functional currency"). The financial statements arepresented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM), which is also the Fund's functional currency.
In preparing the financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the Fund's functionalcurrency (foreign currencies) are recorded in the functional currency using the exchange ratesprevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, foreign currencymonetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the end of thereporting period. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency aretranslated using exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
Exchange differences arising from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from thetranslation of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss.
Exchange differences arising from the translation of non-monetary items carried at fair value areincluded in profit or loss for the period except for the differences arising on the translation ofnon-monetary items in respect of which gains or losses are recognised directly in equity.Exchange differences arising from such non-monetary items are recognised directly to equity.

(f) Unitholders' Capital
(g) Income Distribution
(h) Cash and Cash Equivalents
(i) Income Recognition
Income distributions are at the discretion of the Manager. Income distribution to the Fund'sunitholders is accounted for as a deduction from realised reserves except where the distribution issourced out of distribution equalisation which is accounted for as a deduction from unitholders'capital.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and deposits with financial institutions whichhave insignificant risk of changes in value.
Income is recognised to the extent that is probable that the economic benefits will flow to theFund and the income can be reliably measured. Income is measured at fair value of considerationreceived or receivable.
Dividend income is recognised when the Fund's right to receive payment is established.
Interest income is recognised using effective interest method.
The unitholders' contributions to the Fund meet the definition of puttable instruments classified asequity instruments under MFRS 132.
Distribution equalisation represents the average distributable amount included in the creation andcancellation prices of units. This amount is either refunded to unitholders by way of distributionand/or adjusted accordingly when units are cancelled.

(j) Income Tax
(k) Segment Reporting
2.5 Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from orpaid to the tax authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that areenacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Current taxes are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to itemsrecognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
No deferred tax is recognised as there are no material temporary differences.
For management purposes, the Fund is managed by 2 main portfolios, namely (1) equity securitiesand (2) fixed income instruments. Each segment engages in separate business activities and theoperating results are regularly reviewed by the Manager, External Investment Manager and theFund's Investment Committee. The External Investment Managers and the Fund InvestmentCommittee jointly assumes the role of chief operation decision maker, for performance assessmentpurposes and to make decision about resources allocated to each investment segment.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with MFRS and IFRS requires the use ofcertain accounting estimates and exercise of judgements. Estimates and judgements are continuallyevaluated and are based on past experience, reasonable expectations of future events and otherfactors.
No major judgements have been made by the Manager in applying the Fund's accounting policies.There are no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimationuncertainty at the reporting date, that have significant risk of causing material adjustment to thecarrying amounts of assets and liabilities within next year.

Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable forthe asset or liability either directly or indirectly
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data

The following table shows a reconciliation from the beginning balance to the ending balancefor the fair value measurement under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy :
The transfer of financial assets at FVTPL from Level 1 to Level 3 in the previous financialyear was due to loss of active trading market resulted from the suspension in trading of thosequoted equities.
Financial instruments not carried at fair value comprise financial assets and financialliabilities classified as loans and receivables and financial liabilities at amortised costrespectively. The carrying amount of these financial instruments at the end of the periodapproximated their fair values due to their short term to maturity.
The Fund maintains investment portfolios in a variety of quoted and unquoted financial instruments asdictated by its Trust Deed and investment management strategy.
The Fund is exposed to a variety of risks including market risk (which includes interest rate risk, equityprice risk and currency risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk Whilst these are the most important types offinancial risks inherent in each type of financial instruments, the Manager and the Trustee would like tohighlight that this list does not purport to constitute an exhaustive list of all the risks inherent in aninvestment in the Fund.
The Fund’s objective in managing risk is the creation and protection of unitholders’ value. Risk isinherent in the Fund’s activities, but it is managed through a process of ongoing identification,measurement and monitoring of risks. Financial risk management is also carried out through soundinternal control systems and adherence to the investment restrictions as stipulated in the Trust Deed, theSecurities Commission’s Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds and the Capital Market and Services Act,2007.

The Fund's principal exposure to market risk arises primarly due to changes or developments inthe market environment and typically includes changes in regulations, politics and the economy ofthe country. Market risk is also influenced by global economics and geopolitical developments.The Fund seeks to diversify away some of this risk by investing into different sectors to mitigaterisk exposure to any single asset class.
The Fund's market risk arises primarily due to changes in market prices and interest rates andforeign currency exchange rates.
Equity price risk is the adverse changes in the fair value of equities as a result of changes inthe levels of equity indices and the value of individual shares. The equity price risk exposurearises from the Fund’s investments in quoted equity securities.
The table below summarises the effect of sensitivity from the Fund's underlying investmentsin quoted equities on the profit or loss and equity of the Fund due to possible changes inequity prices, with all other variables held constant:

(c) Currency Risk
This risk refers to the effect of interest rate changes on the market value of fixed incomesecurities and deposits with financial institutions. In the event of rising interest rates, thereturn on deposits with financial institutions will rise while prices of fixed income securitieswill decrease and vice versa, thus affecting the net asset value of the Fund. This risk will beminimized via the management of the duration structure of the portfolio of fixed incomesecurities and deposits with financial institutions.
The following table demonstates the sensitivity of the profit and loss and equity of the Fundto a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant:
The Fund is exposed to currency risk primarily through its investment in overseas quotedequities that are denominated in foreign currencies. The Fund's foreign currency exposureprofile of its investment in quoted equities has been disclosed under Note 7. The currencyrisk is minimised by proper portfolio allocation and to avoid concentration in a singlecountry.
A 10% strenghtening or weakening of the RM against the following foreign currencies as atthe end of the period would have decreased or increased respectively the profit or loss andequity of the Fund by the amount shown below. This analysis assumes all other variables areheld constant.

(iii) Liquidity Risk
Effect on profit
or loss and equity
This risk occurs in thinly traded or illiquid equity securities. Should the Fund needs to sell arelatively large amount of such securities, the act itself may significantly depress the selling price.As the Fund is exposed to daily redemption of units, the risk is minimized by placing a prudentlevel of funds in short-term deposits and by investing in stocks whose liquidity is adjudged to becommensurate with the expected exposure level of the Fund.
The Fund’s principal exposure to credit risk arises primarily due to changes in the financialconditions of companies issuing debt securities and stockbroking companies, which may affecttheir creditworthiness. This in turn may lead to default in the payment. Such events can lead toloss of capital or delayed or reduced income for the Fund resulting in a reduction in the Fund’sasset value and thus unit price. This risk is mitigated by vigorous credit analysis anddiversification of the bond portfolio of the Fund and to engage different stockbroking companieswith good reputation.

2.4 Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Financial Assets
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL")
(ii) Available-for-sale ("AFS") financial assets
The Fund will adopt the above MFRSs and amendments to MFRSs when they become effectiveand they are not expected to have any significant impact on the financial statements of the Fundupon their initial application other than the classification and measurement of financial assetsunder MFRS 9. MFRS 9 replaces the multiple classification and measurement models in MFRS139 with a single model that classifies financial assets into only two categories: measured at fairvalue through profit or loss, or at amortised cost, depending on the entity's business model formanaging the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets.
Financial assets are recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, theFund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instruments. Regular way ofpurchase and sale of investments in financial instruments are recognised on trade dates. Whenfinancial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus attributabletransaction cost, for investment not at fair value through profit or loss.
The Fund determines the classification of its financial assets at the initial recognition, and thecategories include financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial
Financial assets are classified as financial assets at FVTPL if they are held for trading or aredesignated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets held for trading includeShariah-compliant securities and sukuk acquired principally for the purpose of selling themin near term.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value atthe date of the statement of financial position. Changes in the fair value of those financialinstruments are recorded in "Net gain or loss on financial assets at FVTPL". Profit earnedand dividend revenue elements of such instruments are recorded separately in "Profitincome" and "Gross dividend income", respectively. Foreign exchange differences onfinancial assets at FVTPL are not recognised separately in profit or loss but are included innet gains or net loss on changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTPL.
AFS financial assets are financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are notclassified as financial assets at FVTPL or loans and receivables.

(a) Financial Assets (Contd.)
(ii) Available-for-sale ("AFS") financial assets (Contd.)
(iii) Loans and receivables
Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an activemarket are classified as loans and receivables. The Fund includes short term receivablessuch as balances due from broker, Manager and other receivables in the classification.Loans and receivables are recognised initially at fair value including transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised costusing effective profit method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when theloans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.
After initial recognition, AFS financial assets are measured at fair value. Gains or lossesfrom changes in fair value of the AFS financial assets are recognised in othercomprehensive income, except that impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losseson monetary instruments, dividend income and profit income calculated using effectiveprofit method are recognised in profit or loss.
The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income isreclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment when the financialasset is derecognised. Profit income calculated using the effective profit method isrecognised in profit or loss. Dividends on an AFS equity instrument are recognised in profitor loss when the Fund's right to receive payment is established.
Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or liability settled, betweenknowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction. The fair value for financialinstruments traded in active markets at the reporting date is based on their quoted price orbinding dealer price quotations, without deduction for transaction costs.
A financial asset is derecognised when the asset is disposed and the contractual right toreceive cash flows from the asset has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in itsentirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the considerationreceived and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensiveincome is recognised in profit or loss.
Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that requiredelivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in themarket place concerned. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets arerecognised or derecognised on trade date, i.e. the date that the Fund commit to purchase orsell the asset.

(b) Impairment of Financial Assets
(i) AFS financial assets
(ii) Trade and other receivables and other financial assets carried at amortised cost
The Fund assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that afinancial asset is impaired.
Significant or prolonged decline in fair value below cost, significant financial difficultiesof the issuer or obligor, and the disappearance of an active trading market areconsiderations to determine whether there is objective evidence that investment securitiesclassified as AFS financial assets are impaired.
If an AFS financial asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost(net of any principal payment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less anyimpairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss, is transferred from equity to profitor loss.
Impairment losses on AFS equity investments are not reversed in profit or loss in thesubsequent periods. Increase in fair value, if any, subsequent to impairment loss isrecognised in other comprehensive income. For AFS debt investments, impairment lossesare subsequently reversed in profit or loss, up to the amount previously recognised asimpairment loss, if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively relatedto an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss in profit or loss.
To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financialassets has been incurred, the Fund considers factors such as the probability of insolvencyor significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay inpayments.
If any such evidence exists, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the differencebetween the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flowsdiscounted at the financial asset's original effective profit rate. The impairment loss isrecognised in profit or loss.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly forall financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the amount is reducedthrough the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable becomes uncollectible,it is written off against the allowance account.

(c) Classification of Realised and Unrealised Gain and Losses
(d) Financial Liabilities
Unrealised gain and losses comprise changes in fair value of financial instruments for theperiod from reversal of prior period's unrealised gain and losses for financial instruments whichwere realised (i.e. sold, redeemed or matured) during the reporting period.
Realised gains and losses on disposals of financial instruments classified as part of "at fair valuethrough profit or loss" are calculated using weighted average method. They represent thedifference between an instrument's initial carrying amount and disposal amount, or cashpayments or receipts made of derivative contracts (excluding payments or receipts on collateralmargin accounts for such instruments).
If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decreasecan be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, thepreviously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount ofthe asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal isrecognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangementsentered into and the definition of a financial liability.
Financial liabilities, within the scope of MFRS 139, are recognised in the statement of financialposition when, and only when, the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of thefinancial instrument. Financial liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities.
The Fund's financial liabilities which include amount due to broker, Manager and otherpayables are recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs andsubsequently measured at the amortised cost using effective profit method.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished.Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, andthrough the amortisation process.

(e) Foreign Currencies
(f) Unitholders' Capital
(g) Income Distribution
(h) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and Shariah-compliant deposits withfinancial institutions which have insignificant risk of changes in value.
The unitholders' contributions to the Fund meet the definition of puttable instrumentsclassified as equity instruments under MFRS 132.
Distribution equalisation represents the average distributable amount included in the creationand cancellation prices of units. This amount is either refunded to unitholders by way ofdistribution and/or adjusted accordingly when units are cancelled.
The financial statements of the Fund are measured using the currency of the primary economicenvironment in which the Fund operates ("the functional currency"). The financial statementsare presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM), which is also the Fund's functional currency.
In preparing the financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the Fund's functionalcurrency (foreign currencies) are recorded in the functional currency using the exchange ratesprevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, foreign currencymonetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the end of thereporting period. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency aretranslated using exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
Exchange differences arising from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from thetranslation of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss.
Exchange differences arising from the translation of non-monetary items carried at fair value areincluded in profit or loss for the period except for the differences arising on the translation ofnon-monetary items in respect of which gains or losses are recognised directly in equity.Exchange differences arising from such non-monetary items are recognised directly to equity.
Income distributions are at the discretion of the Manager. Income distribution to the Fund'sunitholders is accounted for as a deduction from realised reserves except where thedistribution is sourced out of distribution equalisation which is accounted for as deductionfrom unitholders' capital.

2.5 Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements
Income is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to theFund and the income can be reliably measured. Income is measured at fair value ofconsideration received or receivable.
Dividend income is recognised when the Fund's right to receive payment is established.
Profit income is recognised using effective profit method.
For management purposes, the Fund is managed by 2 main portfolios, namely (1) Shariah-compliant equity securities and (2) sukuk and Shariah-compliant deposits. Each segmentengages in separate business activities and the operating results are regularly reviewed by theManager, External Investment Manager and the fund's Investment Committee. The ExternalInvestment Managers and the fund Investment Committee jointly assumes the role of chiefoperation decision maker, for performance assessment purposes and to make decision aboutresources allocated to each investment segment.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with MFRS and IFRS requires the useof certain accounting estimates and exercise of judgements. Estimates and judgements arecontinually evaluated and are based on past experience, reasonable expectations of futureevents and other factors.
No major judgements have been made by the Manager in applying the Fund's accountingpolicies. There are no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources ofestimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have significant risk of causing materialadjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within next year.
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from orpaid to the tax authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those thatare enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Current taxes are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to itemsrecognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
No deferred tax is recognised as there are no material temporary differences.

Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable forthe asset or liability either directly or indirectly
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data
The Fund’s financial assets at FVTPL and AFS financial assets are carried at fair value. The fairvalues of these financial assets were determined using prices in active markets for identicalassets.
Quoted equity instrumentsFair value of quoted equity instruments is determined directly by reference to their publishedmarket bid prices on the relevant stock exchanges at the reporting date. The fair value of quotedequity instruments which have lost active trading market due to suspension in their trading, isdetermined by reference to their published net tangible assets.

19. FINANCIAL RISK AND MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Fund maintains investment portfolios in a variety of quoted and unquoted financial instrumentsas dictated by its Deed and investment management strategy.
The following table shows a reconciliation from the beginning balance to the endingbalance for the fair value measurement under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy :
The transfer of financial assets at FVTPL from Level 1 to Level 3 in the previous financialyear was due to loss of active trading market resulted from the suspension in trading ofthose quoted equities.
Financial instruments not carried at fair value comprise financial assets and financialliabilities classified as loans and receivables and financial liabilities at amortised costrespectively. The carrying amount of these financial instruments at the end of the financialyear approximated their fair values due to their short term to maturity.
The Fund is exposed to a variety of risks including market risk (which includes interest rate risk,equity price risk and currency risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and reclassification of Shariah statusrisk. Whilst these are the most important types of financial risks inherent in each type of financialinstruments, the Manager and the Trustee would like to highlight that this list does not purport toconstitute an exhaustive list of all the risks inherent in an investment in the Fund.
The Fund’s objective in managing risk is the creation and protection of unitholders’ value. Risk isinherent in the Fund’s activities, but it is managed through a process of ongoing identification,measurement and monitoring of risks. Financial risk management is also carried out through soundinternal control systems and adherence to the investment restrictions as stipulated in the Trust Deed,the Securities Commission’s Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds and the Capital Market and ServicesAct, 2007.

(b) Interest Rate Risk
The Fund's principal exposure to market risk arises primarily due to changes or developmentsin the market environment and typically includes changes in regulations, politics and theeconomy of the country. Market risk is also influenced by global economics and geopoliticaldevelopments. The Fund seeks to diversify away some of this risk by investing into differentsectors to mitigate risk exposure to any single asset class.
The Fund’s market risk is affected primarily due to changes in market prices, interest rates andforeign currency exchange rates.
Equity price risk is the adverse changes in the fair value of Shariah-compliant equities as aresult of changes in the levels of Shariah-compliant equity indices and the value ofindividual Shariah-compliant shares. The equity price risk exposure arises from the Fund’sinvestments in quoted Shariah-compliant equity securities.
The table below summarises the effect of sensitivity from the Fund’s underlyinginvestments in quoted Shariah-compliant equities on the profit or loss and equity of theFund due to possible changes in Shariah-compliant equity prices, with all other variablesheld constant:
This risk refers to the effect of interest rate changes on the demand for sukuk and Shariah-compliant deposits with financial institutions. In the event of rising interest rates, thereturn on Shariah-compliant deposits with financial institutions will rise while demand forsukuk will decrease and vice versa, thus affecting the net asset value of the Fund. This riskwill be minimized via the management of the duration structure of the portfolio of sukukand Shariah-compliant deposits with financial institutions.
Interest rate is a general economic indicator that will have an impact on the management offund regardless of whether it is a Shariah-compliant fund or otherwise. It does not in anyway suggest that this fund will invest in conventional financial instruments. Allinvestments carried out for this fund are in accordance with requirement of the Shariah.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the profit or loss and equity of the Fundto a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant:

The assumed movement in basis points for interest rate sensitivity analysis is based onthe currently observable market environment.
The Fund is exposed to currency risk primarily through its investment in overseasShariah-compliant quoted equities that are denominated in foreign currencies. The Fund'sforeign currency exposure profile of its investment in Shariah-compliant quoted equitieshas been disclosed under Note 7. The currency risk is minimised by proper portfolioallocation and to avoid concentration in a single country.

The Fund’s principal exposure to credit risk arises primarily due to changes in the financialconditions of companies issuing sukuk, which may affect their creditworthiness. This in turnmay lead to default in the payment of principal and profit. Such events can lead to loss ofcapital or delayed or reduced income for the Fund resulting in a reduction in the Fund’s assetvalue and thus unit price. This risk is mitigated by vigorous credit analysis and diversificationof the sukuk portfolio of the Fund.
As at the end of period, the Fund do not have any investment in sukuk.
This risk occurs in thinly traded or illiquid Shariah-compliant securities. Should the Fund needto sell a relatively large amount of such securities, the act itself may significantly depress theselling price. As the Fund is exposed to daily redemption of units, the risk is minimized byplacing a prudent level of funds in short-term Shariah-compliant deposits and by investing inShariah-compliant stocks whose liquidity is adjudged to be commensurate with the expectedexposure level of the Funds.
The following table summarises the maturity profile of the Fund’s financial liabilities and thecorresponding assets available to meet commitments associated with those financial liabilitiesand redemption by the unitholders.

(vi) Reclassification of Shariah Status Risk
(vii) Capital Management
This risk refers to the risk that the currently held Shariah-compliant securities in the portfolioof Shariah-compliant funds may be reclassified to be Shariah non-compliant upon review ofthe securities by the Shariah Advisory Council of the Securities Commission of Malaysia("SACSC") performed twice yearly. If this occurs, the value of the Fund may be adverselyaffected where the Manager will take the necessary steps to dispose of such securities.
The capital is represented by unitholders’ subscription to the Fund. The amount of capital canchange significantly on a daily basis as the Fund is subject to daily redemption andsubscription at the discretion of unitholders. The Manager manages the Fund’s capital withthe objective of maximising unitholders' value, while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meetunitholders' redemption as explained in Note 19 (iii) above.
