CHAPTER 2: RISK FACTORS

2.1 General Risks of Investing in Wholesale Fund

Below are some of the general risks which Unit Holders should be aware of when investing in the Fund. Market risk – Market risk arises because of factors that affect the entire market place. Factors such as economic growth, political stability and social environment are some examples of conditions that have an impact on businesses, whether positive or negative. The Fund will be exposed to market uncertainties due to the factors stated above and this in turn will affect the value of the investments either in a positive or negative way.

Fund management risk – Investors rely on the experience and expertise of the fund management team of the Manager to make investment decisions for the Fund. A failure on the part of the fund management team to display the requisite experience and expertise expected of them in making such decisions may jeopardize the Fund’s performance and returns.

Performance risk – The performance of the Fund depends on the investments of the Fund. If there is a default, there will be a negative impact on the performance of the Fund. The performance of the Fund may also be affected if the allocation of assets is not properly done. This is where the experience and expertise of the fund managers are important as highlighted in the fund management risk write-up above. In view of the aforesaid, there is never a guarantee that investing in the Fund will produce the desired investment returns or the distribution of income.

Inflation risk – Inflation rate risk is the risk of potential loss in the purchasing power of investment due to a general increase of consumer prices. Inflation erodes the nominal rate of return giving a lower real rate of return. Investors are advised to take note that the Fund is not designed with the objective of matching the inflation rate of Malaysia. Risk of non-compliance – The Fund has been established in accordance with the provisions of the Deed and the Guidelines. There is a risk that the Manager may not observe the rules whether intentionally or inadvertently. Whilst non-compliance with the rules governing the Fund will not necessarily result in losses to the Fund, Investors cannot discount the risk that losses may be suffered by the Fund if the non-compliance with the rules is sufficiently serious and may affect the value of the Fund. This may occur, for instance, if the Manager decides to buy an instrument which is not permitted, whether intentionally or inadvertently, and thereafter having to sell that instrument at a loss to the Fund. Operational risk – This risk refers to the possibility of a breakdown in the Manager’s internal controls and policies. The breakdown may be a result of human error (for instance the keying of wrong details), system failure (causing unnecessary downtime) or even fraud (where employees of the Manager colludes with one another). This risk may cause monetary loss to the Fund and/or inconvenience to Investors. The Manager will regularly review its internal policies and system capability to minimize the occurrence of this risk. Additionally the Manager maintains a strict segregation of duties to minimize occurrence of fraudulent practices amongst employees of the Manager.

6

2.2 Specific Risks related to the Fund

The specific risks affecting investments in this Fund may include but are not limited to: Interest rate risk – This risk refers to how changes in the interest rate environment would affect the performance of the Fund. In the event of a decreasing interest rate environment, lower interest rates may increase the prices of investment instrument; which in turn will reduce the potential returns of the Fund. In essence, there is an inverse relationship between interest rate and prices of investment instrument. Liquidity risk – This risk refers to the possibility that the investments of the Fund cannot be readily sold or converted into cash without incurring significant loss in value. For example, disposing a relatively illiquid instrument may result in a disadvantage to the Fund as there may not be a buyer, or sufficient buyers, available for the said instrument. This lack of demand or low trading volume may cause the value of the Fund to drop. This risk is mitigated through a diversified asset allocation in terms of the type of instruments and the tenure of the investment instruments, which include fixed deposits, money market instruments and fixed income securities.

Counterparty risk – This risk refers to the counterparty (in the contract) is not live up to its contractual obligations. For example, the counterparty’s non-payment or untimely payment of the principal and/or profit will subsequently lead to the reduction of the NAV of the Fund; which in turn will affect the performance of the Fund. The Manager may need to perform fundamental research and analysis to determine the creditworthiness of its counterparties. The Manager will have to also diversify its investments in fixed income securities, money market instruments and placements in fixed deposits by limiting its exposure on each of its counterparties.

2.3 Risk Management

Portfolio risk management is central to the Manager’s investment process. Portfolio risk management can therefore include the application of policies, procedures and practices which continually seek to identify, analyze, assess, control and mitigate unacceptable risk as it accumulates and/or concentrates within a portfolio. Accordingly, for fixed income securities, the Manger adopts an active management by conducting research on macro fundamentals, market valuations, sector outlook, company financial position and valuation to mitigate investment risks. As for the equities and equity related securities, the Manager applies numerous risk management techniques including stock exposure limits (company, sector, country etc.), pre-determined stock liquidity levels, stock selection process and “stop loss” disciplines. THE ABOVEMENTIONED RISK FACTORS SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST OF RISKS. INVESTORS ARE ADVISED THAT IT IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE TO PROTECT INVESTMENTS AGAINST ALL RISKS. INVESTORS ARE ADVISED TO READ THE INFORMATION MEMORANDUM TO ASSESS THE RISKS OF THE FUND. IF NECESSARY, CONSULT YOUR PROFESSIONAL ADVISER(S) FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE RISKS BEFORE MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION.

CHAPTER 3: FUND INFORMATION

3.1 Investment Objective

The Fund seeks to provide Investors with income and capital growth by investing into short

to medium-term money market instruments and fixed income securities. Any material changes to the investment objective of the Fund would require the approval of Unit Holders.

3.2 Investment Policy and Strategy

The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing a minimum of 60% of its NAV and a maximum of 100% of its NAV in fixed income securities. The Fund will invest up to 40% of its NAV in placements of fixed deposits with financial institutions and development financial institutions, money market instruments and fixed income securities with a maturity period of 2 years and below. The investment strategy will involve actively managing the maturities and durations of each investment in order to have a well-diversified portfolio for the Fund. The Fund will be strategized to focus on exceeding the average yield without compromising on the capital preservation. The Fund will also be proactively managed to meet the potential liquidity requirements. The selection of the fixed income securities will depend largely on its credit quality, certainty of principal repayment by the issuers and the overall total return stability. There will be no minimum rating applicable in selecting each fixed income security. However, the following are the key considerations:

Issuer’s and/or guarantor’s industry and business medium to long-term outlook; Issuer’s and/or guarantor’s financial strength and gearing levels; Issuer’s and/or guarantor’s cash-flow quality and volatility; Issuer’s and/or guarantor’s expected future cash flow and ability to pay interest and

principal; Issuer’s and/or guarantor’s ratings by a domestic or globally recognized rating

agency; Interest rate sensitivity; Collateral type and value, and claims priority; and Price and yield-to-maturity.

In any case, the Manager may take temporary defensive position which may be inconsistent with Fund’s strategy by reducing its investment and increase liquidity level of the Fund during adverse market conditions to safeguard the Unit Holders’ interest.

3.3 Asset Allocation

Minimum of 60% to a maximum of 100% of its NAV will be invested in fixed income securities; and

8

Up to 40% of its NAV will be invested in placements of fixed deposits, money market instruments or fixed income securities with a maturity period of 2 years and below.

3.4 Benchmark

3.7 Income Distribution

Subject to the availability of income, income distribution (if any) will be incidental. It should be noted that the actual distribution of income and the frequency of distribution as indicated here are provisional and will depend on the availability of distributable surplus (after deducting expenses incurred by the Fund i.e., Management Fee, Trustee Fee and any other fund expenses). The following distribution options are available for the Fund. Unit Holders may specify their distribution preferences:

Pay-out Option: Distribution proceeds paid directly to Unit Holders; or

9

Reinvestment Option: Unit Holders may opt for distribution proceeds to be

reinvested as additional Units of the Fund at the NAV per Unit on the Business Day following the distribution declaration date.

If Unit Holders do not indicate their preferred distribution option, any distributions will be automatically reinvested as additional Units of the Fund at the NAV per Unit on the Business Day following the distribution declaration date. For Unit Holders who select the pay-out option, the Manager shall endeavour to pay all distribution proceeds in cash or cheque in Ringgit Malaysia within fourteen (14) Business Days from the distribution declaration date, unless the distribution proceeds is less than RM50.00. In such circumstances, the distribution proceeds will be automatically reinvested as additional Units of the Fund at the NAV per Unit on the Business Day following the distribution declaration date. If distribution cheque(s) remain unclaimed for 6 months, the amount will be reinvested into the Fund based on the prevailing NAV per Unit of the Fund.

3.8 Bases of Valuation of the Assets of the Fund and Valuation of the Fund

3.8.1 Bases of Valuation of the Assets of the Fund

Investment Instruments Valuation Basis

Fixed income securities Unquoted debt securities and Malaysian government securities will be valued on a daily basis based on fair value prices quoted by a bond pricing agency (“BPA”) registered with the SC. If the Manager is of the view that the price quoted by the BPA for a specific bond differs from the market price by more than twenty (20) basis points, the Manager may use the market price. In the absence of reliable market quotation, valuation should be the average price obtained from at least three (3) independent dealers.

Fixed deposits Fixed deposits are valued each day by reference to the value of such investments and the interest accrued thereon for the relevant period.

Money market instruments Money market instruments such as treasury bills, commercial papers and medium-term notes will be valued using the amortisation method.

Foreign exchange rate conversion Where the value of an asset of the Fund is denominated in a foreign currency (if any), the assets are translated on a daily basis to Ringgit Malaysia using the bid foreign

10

exchange rate quoted by either Reuters or Bloomberg, at United Kingdom time 4.00 p.m. the same day.

Any other instruments Fair value as determined in good faith by the Manager, on methods or bases which have been verified by the auditors of the Fund and approved by the Trustee.

3.8.2 Valuation of the Fund The Fund will be valued at the end of every Business Day. The Fund adopts a forward pricing basis which means that the price of the Units will be calculated based on the NAV per Unit at the next valuation point. The price of Units in respect of application for Units or request for redemption received before the cut-off time of 11.00 a.m. on the Business Day (T), say, Monday, will be based on the valuation of the Units done on the same Business Day and will be available on the next day, i.e. Tuesday (T+1).

(a) Where on the last Business Day of a Performance Period, the NAV per Unit (before performance fee) is higher than the Hurdle Value (see illustration 1 and illustration 2 below); and

(b) The Manager receives a repurchase request at the time when the NAV per Unit (before performance fee) is higher than the Hurdle Value, during the Performance Period. Hence, performance fee is chargeable to the redeeming Unit Holder regardless of the Fund’s performance at the end of the particular Performance Period (see illustration 4 below).

4.4.1 Determining the High Water Mark (HWM) and Setting the Hurdle Value

At the beginning of a Performance Period, the Manager will firstly determine the HWM. During the 1st Performance Period after the launch of the Fund, the HWM will be the initial

12

offer price of the Fund. Thereafter, the HWM will be the closing NAV per Unit on the last Business Day of the Performance Period or the HWM of the preceding Performance Period, whichever is the higher. For example, if the NAV per Unit on the last Business Day of the 1st Performance Period is RM1.2000 (which is higher than the HWM for the preceding Performance Period i.e. RM1.0000), then the HWM for 2nd Performance Period will be RM1.2000. However, if the NAV per Unit on the last Business Day of the 1st Performance Period is RM0.98 (which is lower than the HWM for the preceding Performance Period i.e. RM1.0000), then the HWM for the 2nd Performance Period will be RM1.0000.

Next, a Hurdle Value will be determined. A Hurdle Value is the minimum value that needs to be achieved before the Manager is eligible to earn performance fee. The Hurdle Value is calculated by adding 4.5% to the HWM. For example, in Year 1, the HWM is RM1.0000. The Hurdle Value is therefore RM1.0450 (i.e. RM1.00 x 1.045). The Hurdle Value for each subsequent Performance Period is reset at the beginning of the Performance Period based on the latest HWM.

Illustration 1: Assuming in Year 1, the Fund’s initial offer price is RM1.0000 and there are no subscription and repurchase requests during the Performance Period. The HWM and Hurdle Value are as follows:

Table 1:

1st

Performance Period The Fund’s 1st

Financial Year

NAV per Unit at beginning of Year 1 RM1.0000

HWM for 1st Performance Period RM1.0000

Hurdle Value for 1st Performance Period RM1.0450

Therefore, the HWM for the 1st Performance Period is RM1.0000 and hence, the Hurdle Value of RM1.0450.

Table 2: 2

Hurdle Value for 1st Performance Period RM1.0450

NAV per Unit at the end of Year 1 RM1.2000

HWM for 2nd

Performance Period RM1.2000

Hurdle Value for 2nd

Performance Period RM1.2540

Based on Table 2 above, on the last Business Day of the 1st Performance Period, the NAV per Unit of the Fund rises to RM1.2000, which is higher than the HWM for the 1st Performance Period. As a result, the HWM for 2nd Performance Period will be reset and the HWM will be RM1.2000.

As the HWM is now RM1.2000, the new Hurdle Value for Year 2 will be RM1.2540.

13

4.4.2. Calculation of Performance Fee

The purpose of calculating and readjusting the performance fee on a daily basis is to take into account the calculation of the NAV per Unit for subscription and repurchase requests.

Illustration 2: Assuming there is no subscription or repurchase request during the entire Performance Period, thus Units in circulation is the same throughout the entire Performance Period. Table 3: Day Units in

Circulation (UIC)

3 500,000 1.0170 1.0170 1.0000 1.0450 0

4 500,000 1.0280 1.0280 1.0000 1.0450 0

5 500,000 1.0550 1.0530 1.0000 1.0450 1,000

6 500,000 1.0720 1.0666 1.0000 1.0450 2,700

7 500,000 1.0600 1.0570 1.0000 1.0450 1,500

365 500,000 1.2000 1.1690 1.0000 1.0450 15,500

Based on the figures in Table 3 above, the HWM for the Performance Period is RM1.0000 which is also the NAV per Unit on Day 1 and hence, the Hurdle Value is RM1.0450. Let us assume that on day 5, the NAV per Unit (before performance fee) is RM1.0550, while the Hurdle Value is RM1.0450, with the Units in Circulation of 500,000 Units.

Performance fee = (The difference between the NAV per Unit (before performance fee) and the Hurdle Value) x 20% x Total number of Units in Circulation of the Fund

= (RM1.0550 – RM1.0450) x 20% x 500,000 Units

= RM0.0100 x 500,000

= RM1,000

Based on the figures in Table 3 above, the performance fee, if any, will be re-adjusted* on a daily basis. On day 365, which is the last Business Day, the NAV per Unit (before performance fee) appears higher than the Hurdle Value; therefore a performance fee of RM15, 500 will be charged and payable to the Manager at the end of the Performance Period. * Adjustment is by reversing the daily accrued performance fee payable to the Manager. For example, on Day 6, the accrued performance fee from Day 5 which is RM1,000 will be reversed.

Note: Where the difference between the NAV per Unit on the last Business Day of the Performance Period and the Hurdle Value is a negative figure, no performance fee is payable to the Manager.

14

Illustration 3: Where there is a subscription request by a Unit Holder during the Performance Period, the chargeable performance fee (if any) on the day of the subscription will be reflected in the NAV per Unit (after performance fee).

Illustration is based on the Day 5 figures in Table 3 above:- HWM = RM1.0000

Hurdle Value = RM1.0450

NAV per Unit (before performance fee) = RM1.0550

NAV per Unit (after performance fee) = RM1.0530

The NAV per Unit payable by the Unit Holder would be RM1.0530, i.e. Selling Price.

Illustration 4: Where there is a repurchase request by a Unit Holder during the Performance Period, the chargeable performance fee (if any) will be calculated as follows:

Illustration is based on the Day 7 figures in Table 3 above:

Number of Units repurchased by Unit Holder = 5,000 Units

Hurdle Value for the Performance Period = RM1.0450

NAV per Unit (before performance fee) @ Day 7 = RM1.0600

The repurchase request is received by the Manager on Day 7 of the Performance Period where the NAV per Unit is higher than the Hurdle Value of the Performance Period. Hence, the Fund performed and the Manager is entitled to the performance fee, as follows:-

(The difference between the NAV per unit on the Business Day when the redemption occurred and the Hurdle Value) x total number of Units redeemed x 20%

= (RM1.0600 – RM1.0450) x 5,000 Units x 20%

= RM15.00* * During the Performance Period, such amount will be maintained in the account payable of the Fund and will be paid to the Manager at the end of the Performance Period.

4.5 Trustee Fee

Up to zero point zero two per centum (0.02%) per annum of the NAV of the Fund. The Trustee Fee is calculated daily and payable monthly. Please refer to the illustration under item 5.3 below to see how the Trustee Fee is calculated.

4.6 Other Expenses Directly Related to the Fund

In administrating the Fund, there are expenses directly related to the Fund. These expenses include auditor’s fees and other relevant professional fees, foreign custodial charges (if applicable), cost of distribution of quarterly or annual reports, tax certificates, reinvestment statements and other notices to Unit Holders. In addition, there are fees and expenses that are directly related and necessary to the business of the Fund such as commissions paid to brokers and taxes that are also paid out of the Fund.

15

4.7 Reduction or Waiver of Fees

The Manager may, for any reason at any time, waive or reduce the amount of any fees or other charges payable by the Unit Holders in respect of the Fund, either generally or specifically and for any period of time at its absolute discretion.
