2.5 Fund performance analysis based on NAV per unit (adjusted for income distribution; if any) since last review period

Period under reviewKenanga Global Opportunities Fund -1.62%MSCI World AC Index 1.22%

Source: Lipper

During the period under review, the Fund registered a negative return of 1.62% which underperformed its benchmark which registered positive returned of 1.22%. The underperformance was due to the underperformance of the Target Fund.

2.6 Review of the market

Market Review

Global equities made good gains during the 6-month period ending 31 August 2014. The MSCI AC World net total return index added 7.2% in local terms. US corporates reported strong earnings during the period with the majority of stocks in the S&P 500 beating expectations. The better than expected results helped US equities (+8.3%) to continue their impressive rise. US macroeconomic data were also supportive; especially labour data provided confidence as unemployment fell to 6.2% from 6.6%. GDP growth bounced back from a contraction in Q1 (-2.9%), which was largely due to adverse weather, to 4.2% in Q2. New Fed Chair Janet Yellen indicated that interest rates could rise in 2015 but also said that the US was not close to full employment and that there was considerable “slack” in the labour market.

Europe (+2.4%) was the weakest region in developed markets, with a noticeable negative performance for Germany (-2.9%) as investors worried about the country’s exposure to Eastern Europe in relation to the ongoing crisis between Ukraine and Russia. Macroeconomic momentum weakened during the period and ECB President Mario Draghi expressed his concerns regarding the strength of the euro and also deflation risk in the Eurozone. In July, the ECB announced a range of stimulus measures, including a negative deposit rate and a “targeted” long-term refinancing operation (LTRO).

There were doubts surrounding the feasibility of Shinzo Abe’s economic policies in Japan. The introduction of a sales tax increase, one of the key reforms, was a headwind for Japanese equities. However, despite this, Japanese equities managed to perform relatively well, recovering strongly to end the period up by 5.4%.

Emerging market equities looked past Fed tapering worries and the inevitably of future US rate hikes to record a very impressive outperformance over developed markets (12.5% vs 7.2%). Investors were in the mood to reward evidence of structural reform or political stability. Countries with a leadership change theme were all among the main beneficiaries. India and Indonesia elected new presidents, Thailand had a government change and opinion polls in Brazil pointed to a tight election race later this year.

Energy (+12.7%), IT (+10.4%) and Utilities (+9.0%) were the best performing sectors. Consumer Discretionary (+2.5%), Industrials (+3.6%) and Materials (+4.0%) were positive but lagged the rest of the market. In terms of style, “Value” outperformed “Growth” stocks during the period, while large cap stocks outperformed small caps.

2.6 Review of the market (Contd.)

Market Outlook

Monetary actions of the central banks are still an important driver for equities in the short term. The US is still easing, albeit to a lesser degree than in the past, Japan is involved in massive quantitative easing, and we expect that Europe will follow suit, especially after the speech Draghi gave recently at Jackson Hole. In our opinion, longer-term structural trends are the most important factors that determine the success of a company going forward. In that respect, it is positive to see that both in India and Indonesia the pro-business parties have won the elections and are able to push through structural reforms that will support economic growth. Politics so far has been a key barrier to economic restructuring in India and Indonesia.

In China, economic reform goes hand in hand with a severe clamp down on corruption. Although the latter is hurting economic activity in some sectors in the short term we think it will strengthen the Chinese economy in the longer term. China, India and Indonesia inhabit almost 50% of the total world population and are therefore key for a number of consumer related themes in our portfolio.

6.5 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE FINANCIAL PERIOD FROM 1 MARCH 2014 TO 31 AUGUST 2014 (unaudited)

1. THE FUND, THE MANAGER AND THEIR PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Kenanga Global Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) was constituted pursuant to the executed Deed dated 13 October 2009 (collectively, together with deeds supplemented thereto, referred to as “the Deed”) between Kenanga Funds Berhad and CIMB Commerce Trustee Berhad as the trustee. The Fund commenced operation on 21 June 2010 and will continue to be in operation until terminated as provided under Part 12 of the Deed.

Pursuant to the executed Seventh Supplemental Deed dated 15 May 2013 between Kenanga Investors Berhad and CIMB Commerce Trustee Berhad, Kenanga Investors Berhad was appointed as the Manager of the Fund with effect from 8 June 2013.

Kenanga Investors Berhad is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad, which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of K & N Kenanga Holdings Berhad, listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. All of these companies are incorporated in Malaysia.

The principal place of business of the Manager is Suite 12.02, 12th Floor, Kenanga International, Jalan Sultan Ismail, 50250 Kuala Lumpur

The Fund is set up with the aim of achieving capital growth by investing, via a target fund, in a diversified portfolio of global equities that are likely to yield higher earning growth than global average. To achieve the objective of the Fund, it will invest a minimum 95% of the net asset value in ING (L) Invest Global Opportunities (“IIGO”), denominated in Euro (“EUR”), domiciled in Luxembourg. The remaining will be invested in liquid assets including money market instruments and deposits with licensed financial institution.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Manager on 27 October 2014.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

To the extent the Fund invests in IIGO, which has investment in global equities, it is exposed to market risk (which includes interest risk, price risk and currency risk) and credit risk.

The fund manager monitors the portfolio of IIGO to ensure that the underlying fund is positioned to meet its investment objectives. The fund manager may seek alternative collective investment scheme or any permissible instruments that are consistent with the objective of the Fund.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTD.)

a. Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk includes currency risk, interest rate risk, price risk and currency risk.

Market risk arises when the value of the financial instruments fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies, general market or economic conditions. It stems from the fact that there are other economy-wide perils, which threaten all businesses. Hence, investors are exposed to market uncertainties. Fluctuation in the prices of financial instruments caused by uncertainties in the economy, political and social environment will affect the fair value of the Fund.

i. Interest rate risk

The Fund has minimal exposure to interest rate risk as placements with financial institutions are short term bases. In additional, the Fund has indirect exposure to interest rate risk through IIGO.

ii. Price risk

Price risk is the risk of unfavourable changes in the fair values of foreign collective investment scheme. The Funds invests in a foreign collective investment scheme which is exposed to price fluctuations. This may then affect the NAV per unit of the Fund.

Price Risk Sensitivity

Manager’s best estimate of the effect on the profit for the period due to a reasonably possible change in investments in foreign collective investment scheme, with all other variables held constant is indicated in the table below:

iii. Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

When the foreign currencies fluctuate in an unfavorable movement against Ringgit, the investment face currency loss in addition to capital gain/(loss). This will lead to lower NAV of the Fund.

The Fund invests a minimum 95% in IIGO, denominated in EUR, domiciled in Luxembourg. The Manager may consider managing the currency risk using currency hedging. However, this would be subject to the current market outlook on the currency exposure risk as well.

Kenanga Global Opportunities Fund Interim Report 19

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTD.)

b. Credit Risk (Contd.)

i. Credit risk exposure

At the reporting date, the Fund’s maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each class of financial assets recognised in the statement of financial position.

ii. Financial assets that are either past due or impaired

As at the reporting date, there are no financial assets that are either past due or impaired.

c. Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Fund will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are to be settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Exposure to liquidity risk arises because of the possibility that the Fund could be required to pay its liabilities or cancel its units earlier than expected. The Fund is exposed to cash cancellation of its units on a regular basis. Units sold to unitholders by the Manager are cancellable at the unitholder’s option based on the Fund’s NAV per unit at the time of cancellation calculated in accordance with the Deed.

Unit trust funds with principal investment strategies that involve foreign securities, derivatives or securities with substantial market and/or credit risk tend to have the greatest exposure to liquidity risks. IIGO’s investment manager manages the risk by adopting ING’s diversification policy that stipulates single and group issuer limits to confine over-exposure to a single company or group of companies.

The following table analyses the maturity profile of the Fund’s financial assets and financial liabilities in order to provide a complete view of the Fund’s contractual commitments and liquidity.

(i) Financial assets

Analysis of financial assets into maturity groupings is based on the expected date on which these assets will be realised. The Fund’s investments have been included in the “up to 1 year” category on the assumption that these are highly liquid investments which can be realised should all of the Fund’s unitholders’ equity be required to be redeemed. For other assets, the analysis into maturity groupings is based on the remaining period from the end of the reporting period to the contractual maturity date or if earlier, the expected date on which the assets will be realised.

(ii) Financial liabilities

The maturity grouping is based on the remaining period from the end of the reporting period to the contractual maturity date. When counterparty has a choice of when the amount is paid, the liability is allocated to the earliest year in which the Fund can be required to pay.

(iii) Equity

As unitholders can request for redemption of their units, they have been categorised as having a maturity of “up to 1 year”.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Fund have been prepared in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS”) as issued by Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (“MASB”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the adoption of the new and amended MFRS and IC interpretations which became effective for the Fund on 1 March 2014. The adoption of the new and amended MFRS and IC interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial position or performance of the Fund.

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except as disclosed in the accounting policies below.

b. Standard and Interpretations Issued But Not Yet Effecitve

As at the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the following Standards and Amendments have been issued by MASB but are not yet effective and have not been adopted by the Fund:

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)

b. Standard and Interpretations Issued But Not Yet Effecitve (Contd.)

The Fund will adopt the above pronouncements when they become effective in the respective financial period. These pronouncements are not expected to have any significant impact to the financial statements of the Fund upon their initial application, other than MFRS 9.

MFRS 9 reflects the first phase of work on the replacement of MFRS 139 and applies to classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities as defined in MFRS 139. The standard was initially effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, but Amendments to MFRS 9: Mandatory Effective Date of MFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures, issued in March 2012, moved the mandatory effective date to 1 January 2015. Subsequently, on 14 February 2014, it was announced that the new effective date will be decided when the project is closer to completion. The adoption of the first phase of MFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Fund’s financial assets, but will not have an impact on classification and measurements of the Fund’s financial liabilities. The Fund will quantify the effect in conjunction with the other phases, when the final standard including all phases is issued by MASB. The final standard of IFRS 9 has been issued by IASB on 24 July 2014.

c. Financial Assets

Financial assets are recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of financial assets not at FVTPL, directly attributable transaction costs.

The Fund determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition, which are receivables.

i. Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets are classified as financial assets at FVTPL if they are held for trading or are designated as such upon initial recognition.

Financial assets held for trading include foreign collective investment scheme acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of those financial instruments are recorded in profit or loss.

Interest earned elements of such instruments are recorded in “interest income”.

Exchange differences on financial assets at FVTPL are not recognised separately in profit or loss but are included in net gain or net loss on changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTPL.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)

c. Financial Assets (Contd.)

ii. Receivables

Financial assets with fixed or determinable payment that are not quoted in an active market are classified as receivables.

Subsequent to initial recognition, receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivable are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.

A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received is recognised in profit or loss.

d. Impairment of Financial Assets

The Fund assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial assets is impaired.

To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets has been incurred, the Fund considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant 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 difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets, with the exception of receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a receivable becomes uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account.

If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the assets does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

e. Income

Income is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Fund and the income can be reliably measured. Income is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable.

Interest income is recognised using effective interest method on an accrual basis.

24 Kenanga Global Opportunities Fund Interim Report

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)

e. Income (Contd.)

The realised gain or loss on sale of investments is measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the investment, calculated on the daily basis.

The unrealised gain or loss on change in value of investments is measured as the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of the investment, calculated on a daily basis.

f. Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and short term deposits with financial institutions.

g. Income Tax Expense

Income tax on the profit or loss for the period comprises current tax. Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the period.

h. Unrealised Reserves

Unrealised reserves represent the net gain or loss arising from carrying investments at their fair values and unrealised gain or loss from translating foreign currency monetary items at exchange rates prevailing at reporting date. This reserve is not distributable.

i. Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the collateral arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability.

Financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position when and only when, the Fund become a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Fund’s liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities. The Fund’s financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished. Gain and loss is recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through amortisation process.

j. Foreign Currency

i. Functional and presentation currency

The financial statements of the Fund are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Fund operates (“the functional currency”). The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM), which is also the Fund’s functional currency.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)

j. Foreign Currency (Contd.)

ii. Foreign currency transactions

In preparing the financial statements of the Fund, transactions in currencies other than the Fund’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded in the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the reporting date. All exchange gain or loss is recognised in profit of loss.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are included in statement of comprehensive income for the period.

The principal exchange rate for each respective units of foreign currency ruling at statement of financial position date is as follows:

31.8.2014 31.8.2013RM RM

1 EUR 4.1566 4.3299

k. Unitholders’ Capital – NAV Attributable to Unitholders

The unitholders’ contributions to the Fund is classified as equity instruments.

Distribution equalisation represents the average amount of undistributed net income included in the creation and cancellation prices of units. This amount is either refunded to unitholders by way of distribution and/or adjusted accordingly when units are released back to the Trustee.

l. Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain accounting estimates and exercise of judgement. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on past experience, reasonable expectations of future events and other factors.

i. Critical judgements made in applying accounting policies

There are no major judgements made by the Manager in applying the Fund’s accounting policies.

ii. Key sources of estimation uncertainty

There are no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date.

4. MANAGER’S FEE

The Manager’s fee is computed based on 1.80% per annum of the NAV of the Fund, calculated on a daily basis, as provided under Division 13.1 of the Deed.

As the Fund invests in units of IIGO, 1.50% of the Manager’s fee is charged by the IIGO’s manager, ING Investment Management Luxembourg S.A., and the remaining of 0.3% is charged by the Manager, Kenanga Investors Berhad. Accordingly, there is no double charging of manager’s fee.

5. TRUSTEE’S FEE

Pursuant to the second supplemental deed dated 25 July 2014, the Trustee’s fee is computed not exceeding 0.08% per annum of the NAV of the Fund and subject to a minimum fee of RM9,000 effective from 1 August 2014. Prior to 1 August 2014, the Trustee’s fee was computed not exceeding 0.08% per annum and subject to a minimum fee of RM18,000.

The Trustee’s fee is currently computed at 0.08% per annum of the NAV of the Fund.

6. INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax is calculated at the Malaysian statutory tax rate of 25% of the estimated assessable income for the financial period. The statutory tax rate will be reduced to 24% effective from year of assessment 2016.

Income tax is calculated on investment income less partial deduction for permitted expenses as provided for under Section 63B of the Income Tax Act, 1967.

A reconciliation of income tax expense applicable to net loss before tax at the statutory income tax rate to income tax expense at the effective income tax rate of the Fund is as follows:
