2.6 Review of the market

Market Review

Asian equity markets started January 2017 with a positive rally, thanks to the spilled over optimism from the US markets as Dow Jones hit all-time high of above 20,000 points.The FBMS Index continued its surge in February and March courtesy to persistent foreign buying after being absent in the domestic market for more than 3 years. March 2017 also recorded the largest foreign infl ow of RM4.4bil (Mac 16: RM6.1bil foreign net infl ow) after three consecutive years (2014-2016) of foreigners’ net selling totaling about RM30bil. Malaysia recorded 4Q2016 GDP growth of 4.5% yoy, above estimate of 4.4%, bringing 2016 growth to 4.2%. In Feb 2017, two major FDI milestones were announced: a) the launch of Digital Free Trade Zone with Alibaba setting up a regional distribution hub in KLIA Aeropolis; and b) US$7b investment by Saudi Aramco in RAPID refi nery and petrochemical project. There was no surprise monetary actions from the central banks in 1Q2017, both ECB and BOJ stay pat but Fed hiked 25bps as widely expected. The Bank Negara’s annual report released by end March provided GDP growth forecast of 4.3%-4.8% and CPI projection of 3%-4%, which were well within market expectations.

The market charted another positive month in April but took a breather in May which is always a seasonally slow month. The US launched a military strike on a Syrian government airbase in response to a chemical weapons attack killing civilians and later dropped the largest conventional bomb on an ISIS area in eastern Afghanistan. North Korea also unveiled its new missile technology where US President Donald Trump was hoping on China to rein in North Korea’s military aggression. In EU, UK Prime Minister Theresa May called for snap UK general election to strengthen her political grips before Brexit negotiation. Meanwhile, Emmanuel Macron defeated Marine Le Pen in the French presidential election which removed the risk of France leaving EU. In a widely expected move, OPEC and non-members agreed to extend production cuts by another nine months to March 2018.

On the local front, Bank Negara announced liberalisation of MGS. The market and corporates was however shocked by a surprised announcement from TRX City voiding the sales of 60%-stake in Bandar Malaysia to IWH-CREC consortium done in 2015. Mid-small caps started a price correction as investors took profi t following a strong rally since beginning of the year. Malaysia also reported 1Q2017 GDP of 5.6% yoy which was above the 4.8% forecast, which is the strongest growth rate since 1Q2015.

2.6 Review of the market (contd.)

Market Review (contd.)

Asian markets continued to perform well in June with key indices reaching all-time high. As a widely expected move, US Fed raised interest rates for the second time in 2017 by 25bps after upgrading GDP growth forecast to 2.2% and unemployment rate to 4.3% for 2017. Sector wise, Technology suffered a minor selldown in June as investors rotate into fi nancial and energy stocks for value.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) remained confi dent that the global economic recovery is on a fi rmer footing this year on expectations of accelerating growth in the Euro-zone, Japan and China. In the July 2017 update of its World Economic Outlook (WEO), the IMF kept its global GDP forecast at 3.5% for 2017 and 3.6% for 2018 – unchanged from its April 2017 outlook.

Major European and Asian Indexes fell early August with concerns over North Korea, Hurricane Harvey, Spain terror attacks and the US political environment. Stronger economic data and positive corporate earnings propped up August numbers. The Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium accentuates the challenges faced by central bankers to spur wage infl ation despite falling global unemployment, as speeches from Janet Yellen and Mario Draghi avoided monetary policy, focusing on regulatory reforms and market risks. The third round of negotiations between UK and EU has begun, with a multi-year transitional agreement likely to arrive after March 2019.

The regional markets were jittery in September as sabre rattling by North Korea sent investors into selling mode while heightened expectations of another US interest rate hike and balance sheet contraction this year following comments from Federal Reserve offi cials also added to the downbeat sentiment. Meanwhile, the Asian Development Bank came out a report and remained confi dent that the global economic recovery is on a fi rmer footing this year as controlled growth moderation in China is balanced by expected healthy growth elsewhere.

Regional markets fared better in October compared to previous month driven by a recovery in tech stocks and easing geopolitical tension between China and Korea following the year-long standoff over deployment of anti-missile systems. Following this, both economies agreed to a currency swap agreement, which was key rerating catalyst for China-centric Korean equities.

The month of November started off with the Bank of England raising UK interest rates for fi rst time since 2007. The Bank of England raised rates by 25bps but the Pound still fell as gloomy forecasts for growth appeared to rule out the prospect of steep increases in the cost of credit before 2020. As largely expected, President Donald Trump has named Jerome Powell as the next Federal Reserve Chairman.

Key markets saw 2017 ended with mixed performance amid thin trading volume towards the end of the year. All three major US indices ended 2017 with the best annual gains since 2013. Nasdaq recorded the biggest yearly gain of 28.2% followed by Dow Jones and S&P500 which advanced by 25.1% and 19.4% each respectively.

2.6 Review of the market (contd.)

Market Review (contd.)

The US Fed started to double the pace of its balance sheet reduction from USD10b to USD20b and will increase it by USD10b every three months. Meanwhile, ECB’s plan is to reduce asset purchases from EUR60b to EUR30b until at least September. Bank of Japan reduced purchase of 10 to 25-year bonds and 25 to 40-year bonds by JPY10b each.

China’s December data were broadly within expectations but 4Q17 GDP growth was higher than expected and brought 2017 GDP growth to 6.9%, the fi rst pick-up since 2010. After the US Government shutdown ended, President Trump slapped steep tariffs of 20-50% on imported washing machines and solar panels. Korea stock exchange announced KRX300 Index to be launched on Feb 5, another bright spot for small-mid caps.

In January 2018, MSCI Asia Pacifi c ex-Japan posted the best monthly return since March 2016, gained 7.5% and outperformed MSCI World’s 1%. Leaders were HSCEI, Hang Seng and SHCOMP. Upward revision on global growth forecast, USD weakness and increasing commodities prices presented an upbeat sentiment. Financials re-rated on better macroeconomic backdrop, Internet sector recovered after remaining subdued for the previous two months as investors rotated into value stocks but Technology hardware was still plagued by smartphone shipment concern.

Brent and WTI crude oil were up 3% and 7% respectively due to strong demand in extremely cold winter. MYR, THB and RMB top the list of best-performing currencies, while PHP, KRW and HKD among the worst-performing.

On the domestic front, FBMKLCI closed 4% higher driven by fi nancials that rallied on 25bps OPR hike by Bank Negara and the outperformance of PNB-related companies. Net infl ows expanded by another RM3.4b in January after total infl ows of RM10.8b in 2017, and international reserves continued to grow to USD103b as at Jan 22. Other key news include the tender submission for MRT Circle Line by three Malaysian consortiums and a Chinese joint-venture.

Market Outlook

Sentiment turned negative stepping into February with all markets reversing their earlier gains and Malaysia was no exception. We believe fundamentals have not changed materially to warrant a trend reversal, although equities valuations have admittedly turned overly expensive for certain markets, rendering this correction somewhat timely.

Specifi cally for Malaysia, our positive view is supported by the strong economic growth, improving corporate earnings, whilst the appreciating MYR is supportive of fund fl ows. Post election, we anticipate the return of foreign fl ows and certain themes like rising FDI, China’s Belt Road Initiatives, railway construction awards, GLC transformation should become more discerning in 2H, providing the positive backdrop.

2.6 Review of the market (contd.)

Strategy

With the timeline of GE14 closing in, we will tactically be more defensive and adopt buy-on-weakness strategy in the next 3 months. Post-election, we anticipate the return of foreign fl ows and certain themes like rising FDI, China’s Belt Road Initiatives, railway construction awards, GLC transformation should become more discerning in 2H, providing the positive backdrop

5 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE UNIT HOLDERS OF KENANGA MALAYSIAN INC FUND REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Opinion

We have audited the fi nancial statements of Kenanga Malaysian Inc Fund (“the Fund”), which comprise the statement of fi nancial position as at 31 January 2018, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in net asset value and statement of cash fl ows of the Fund for the fi nancial year then ended, and notes to the fi nancial statements, including a summary of signifi cant accounting policies and other explanatory information, as set out on pages 15 to 42.

In our opinion, the accompanying fi nancial statements give a true and fair view of the fi nancial position of the Fund as at 31 December 2017 and of its fi nancial performance and cash fl ows for the fi nancial year then ended in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards of auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the fi nancial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Independence and other ethical responsibilities

We are independent of the Fund in accordance with the By-Laws (on Professional Ethics, Conduct and Practice) of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (“By-Laws”) and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“IESBA Code”), and we have fulfi lled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the By-Laws and the IESBA Code.

Information other than the fi nancial statements and auditors’ report thereon

The Manager of the Fund (“the Manager”) is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report of the Fund, but does not include the fi nancial statements of the Fund and our auditors’ report thereon.

Our opinion on the fi nancial statements of the Fund does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the fi nancial statements of the Fund, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the fi nancial statements of the Fund or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

12Kenanga Malaysian Inc Fund Annual Report

5 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE UNIT HOLDERS OF KENANGA MALAYSIAN INC FUND (CONTD.)

Responsibilities of the Manager and Trustee for the fi nancial statements

The Manager is responsible for the preparation of fi nancial statements of the Fund that give a true and fair view in accordance with Malaysia Financial Reporting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards. The Manager is also responsible for such internal control as the Manager determines is necessary to enable the preparation of fi nancial statements of the Fund that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the fi nancial statements of the Fund, the Manager is responsible for assessing the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Manager either intends to liquidate the Fund or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Trustee is responsible for overseeing the Fund’s fi nancial reporting process. The Trustee is also responsible for ensuring that the Manager maintains proper accounting and other records as are necessary to enable true and fair presentation of these fi nancial statements.

Auditors’ responsibility for the audit of the fi nancial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the fi nancial statements of the Fund as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to infl uence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these fi nancial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with approved standards of auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the fi nancial statements of the Fund, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is suffi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control.

13 Kenanga Malaysian Inc Fund Annual Report

5 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE UNIT HOLDERS OF KENANGA MALAYSIAN INC FUND (CONTD.)

Auditors’ responsibility for the audit of the fi nancial statements (contd.)

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Manager.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Manager’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast signifi cant doubt on the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the fi nancial statements of the Fund or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.

7.5 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2018

1. THE FUND, THE MANAGER AND THEIR PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Kenanga Malaysian Inc Fund (“the Fund”) was constituted pursuant to the executed Master Deed dated 29 August 2007 (collectively, together with deeds supplemental thereto, referred to as “the Deed”) between the Manager, Kenanga Investors Berhad, and HSBC (Malaysia) Trustee Berhad (“the Trustee” prior to 3 December 2013). The Fund has changed its trustee to CIMB Commerce Trustee Berhad (“the Trustee” with effect from 3 December 2013). The aforesaid change was effected on 3 December 2013 via a Fourth Master Supplemental Deed dated 1 October 2013. The Fund commenced operations on 9 November 2007 and will continue to be in operation until terminated in accordance with Part 12 of the Deed.

Kenanga Investors Berhad is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad. Prior to 1 November 2016, Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad was a wholly-owned subsidiary of K & N Kenanga Holdings Berhad that was listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. Pursuant to an internal reorganisation exercise completed on 1 November 2016, Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad has become the holding company of K & N Kenanga Holdings Berhad. On 2 November 2016, Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad has assumed the listing status of K & N Kenanga Holdings Berhad. All of these companies are incorporated in Malaysia.

The principal place of business of the Manager is Level 14, Kenanga Tower, 237, Jalan Tun Razak, 50400 Kuala Lumpur.

The Fund seeks to provide consistent annual returns and medium to long term capital appreciation by investing in Malaysian securities with global reach.

The fi nancial statements were authorised for issue by the Chief Executive Offi cer of the Manager on 28 March 2018.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Fund is exposed to a variety of risks including market risk (which includes interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Whilst these are the most important types of fi nancial risks inherent in each type of fi nancial instruments, the Manager and the Trustee would like to highlight that this list does not purport to constitute an exhaustive list of all the risks inherent in an investment in the Fund.

The Fund has an approved set of investment guidelines and policies as well as internal

controls which sets out its overall business strategies to manage these risks to optimise returns and preserve capital for the unit holders, consistent with the long term objectives of the Fund.

20Kenanga Malaysian Inc Fund Annual Report

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTD.) a. Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash fl ows of a fi nancial instrument will fl uctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk includes interest rate risk and price risk.

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

The Manager manages the risk of unfavourable changes in prices by cautious review of the investments and continuous monitoring of their performance and risk profi les.

i. Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk refers to how the changes in the interest rate environment would affect the performance of Fund’s investments. Rate offered by the fi nancial institutions will fl uctuate according to the Overnight Policy Rate determined by Bank Negara Malaysia and this has direct correlation with the Fund’s investments in deposits.

The Fund is not exposed to signifi cant interest rate risk as its deposits are short term in nature and have fi xed interest rates.

Interest rate risk exposure

The following table analyses the Fund’s interest rate risk exposure. The Fund’s fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities are disclosed at fair value and categorised by the earlier of contractual re-pricing or maturity dates.

* Computed based on assets with exposure to interest rate movement only.

ii. Price risk

Price risk is the risk of unfavourable changes in the fair values of listed equity securities, listed collective investment schemes, listed warrants and listed loan stocks. The Fund invests in listed equity securities, listed collective investment schemes, listed warrants and listed loan stocks which are exposed to price fl uctuations. This may then affect the NAV per unit of the Fund.

Price risk sensitivity

The Manager’s best estimate of the effect on the profi t for the fi nancial year due to a reasonably possible change in investments in listed equity securities, listed collective investment schemes, listed warrants and listed loan stocks with all other variables held constant is indicated in the table below:

Effects on profi t for Changes in price the fi nancial year Increase/(Decrease) Increase/(Decrease) Basis points RM

b. Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a fi nancial instrument will cause a fi nancial loss to the Fund by failing to discharge an obligation. The Manager manages the credit risk by undertaking credit evaluation to minimise such risk.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTD.) b. Credit risk (contd.)

i. Credit risk exposure

As at the reporting date, the Fund’s maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each class of fi nancial asset recognised in the statement of fi nancial position.

ii. Financial assets that are either past due or impaired

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

iii. Credit quality of fi nancial assets

The Fund invests in deposits with fi nancial institutions licensed under the Financial Services Act 2013 and Islamic Financial Services Act 2013. The following table analyses the licensed fi nancial institutions by rating category:

Short term deposits

Percentage of total short term deposits Percentage of NAV 2018 2017 2018 2017 % % % %

c. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is defi ned as the risk that the Fund will encounter diffi culty in meeting obligations associated with fi nancial liabilities that are to be settled by delivering cash or another fi nancial 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 cancellation of its units on a regular basis. Units sold to unit holders by the Manager are cancellable at the unit holders’ option based on the Fund’s NAV per unit at the time of cancellation calculated in accordance with the Deed.

The liquid assets comprise cash, short term deposits with licensed fi nancial institutions and other instruments, which are capable of being converted into cash within 7 days.

Liquidity gap 40,548 33,700

i. Financial assets

Analysis of fi nancial assets at FVTPL into maturity groupings is based on the expected date on which these assets will be realised. The Fund’s investments in listed equity securities, listed collective investment schemes, listed warrants and listed loan stocks 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 unit holders’ 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 or if earlier, the date on which liabilities will be settled. When the counterparty has a choice of when the amount is paid, the liability is allocated to the earliest period in which the Fund can be required to pay.

iii. Equity

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

27 Kenanga Malaysian Inc Fund Annual Report

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)

b. Standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not yet effective (contd.)

MFRS 9 replaces MFRS 139 on the following requirements: classifi cation and measurement of fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities as defi ned in MFRS 139, impairment methodology and hedge accounting. The Fund does not expect any change in classifi cation and any potential fi nancial material impact arising from the adoption of this standard.

c. Financial assets

Financial assets are recognised in the statement of fi nancial position when, and only when, the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the fi nancial instruments.

When fi nancial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of fi nancial assets not at FVTPL, directly attributable transaction costs.

The Fund determines the classifi cation of its fi nancial assets at initial recognition.

i. Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets are classifi ed as fi nancial assets at FVTPL if they are held for trading or are designated as such upon initial recognition.

Financial assets held for trading include listed equity securities, listed collective investment schemes, listed warrants and listed loan stocks acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term.

Subsequent to initial recognition, fi nancial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of those fi nancial instruments are recorded in profi t or loss.

Interest earned and dividend revenue elements of such instruments are recorded separately in “interest income” and “dividend income”, respectively.

ii. Receivables

Financial assets with fi xed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classifi ed as receivables.

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

A fi nancial asset is derecognised when the contractual right to receive cash fl ows from the asset has expired. On derecognition of a fi nancial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received is recognised in profi t or loss.

28Kenanga Malaysian Inc Fund Annual Report

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)

d. Impairment of fi nancial assets

The Fund assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a fi nancial asset is impaired.

To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on fi nancial assets has been incurred, the Fund considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or signifi cant fi nancial diffi culties of the debtor and default or signifi cant 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 fl ows discounted at the fi nancial asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profi t or loss.

The carrying amount of the fi nancial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all fi nancial 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 year, 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 profi t or loss.

e. Income

Income is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefi ts will fl ow 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 the effective interest method.

Dividend income is recognised on declared basis, when the right to receive the dividend is established.

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.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)

g. Income tax

Income tax on the profi t or loss for the fi nancial year comprises current tax. Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profi t for the fi nancial year.

As no temporary differences have been identifi ed, no deferred tax has been recognised.

h. Unrealised reserves

Unrealised reserves represent the net gain or loss arising from carrying investments at their fair values at reporting date. This reserve is not distributable.

i. Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classifi ed according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the defi nitions of a fi nancial liability.

Financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of fi nancial position when, and only when, the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the fi nancial instrument. The Fund’s fi nancial liabilities are classifi ed as other fi nancial liabilities. The Fund’s fi nancial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

A fi nancial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished. Gains and losses are recognised in profi t or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process.

j. Unit holders’ contribution – NAV attributable to unit holders

The unit holders’ contribution to the Fund is classifi ed as equity instruments. Distribution equalisation represents the average amount of undistributed net income

included in the creation or cancellation price of units. This amount is either refunded to unit holders by way of distribution and/or adjusted accordingly when units are released back to the Trustee.

k. Functional and presentation currency

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

l. Distribution

Distributions are at the discretion of the Manager. A distribution to the Fund’s unit holders is accounted for as a deduction from retained earnings.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)

m. Signifi cant accounting judgments and estimates

i. Critical judgments made in applying accounting policies

There are no major judgments 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, that have a signifi cant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next fi nancial year.
