GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND

Commencement Date

RHB Capital Fund (“the Fund”) commenced operations on 12 April 1995.

Fund Category and Type

Fund Category - Equity fund

Fund Type - Growth fund

Investment Objective, Policy and Strategy

Objective of the Fund

To achieve long term growth through capital appreciation with all income including profits on realisation of investments being automatically reinvested for its compounding effect.

Strategy

The Fund seeks long term capital appreciation. To pursue this goal, the Fund invests primarily in Malaysian public listed companies with strong growth potential. The Manager utilises a strategy that seeks attractively priced companies in undervalued sectors, or in sectors that have strong upward stock price momentum which demonstrate strong increases in earnings per share and continue to strengthen their fundamental capabilities and competitive positions, amongst others.

The asset allocation of the Fund will be as follows:-

Minimum of 60% and up to 95% of Net Asset Value

- Investments in equities

Minimum of 5% of Net Asset Value

- Investments in fixed income securities and/or liquid assets

22

Investment Philosophy

Our investment philosophy describes the approach that the investment team will adhere to when constructing an equity or fixed income portfolio. The fund managers invest in well-managed companies with strong balance sheets that possess competitive advantages that should enable them to outperform their peers over economic cycles. The fund managers are active investors that make high conviction security selection decisions, but at the same time do not take unnecessary or excessive risks nor take speculative positions. The fund managers seek to outperform their peers and beat their benchmark by buying mispriced or cheap securities. Following our disciplined sell strategy, they would then exit positions when our target price is reached. Concurrently, the fund managers understand the Fund’s risk profile and act within the Fund’s mandate.

33

Investment Approach

Whenever the Fund invests in equities and fixed income securities, the Manager’s investment approach will evolve around the following principles:-

Equities

Fixed Income Securities

44

Performance Benchmark

FTSE Bursa Malaysia Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (“FBM KLCI”)

MANAGER’S REPORT

FUND PERFORMANCE REVIEW

For the period under review, the RHB Capital Fund registered a positive return of 0.72%* against its benchmark return of negative 1.14%*. The fund outperformed its benchmark by 1.86% during the period under review.

The outperformance of the Fund was due to stock selection. The stocks that contributed to the Fund performance were stocks that received strong contract flows from construction as well as companies with cheap valuation with strong earnings growth stories. The Fund remained invested to take advantage of the gradual recovery in global market and strong Malaysia Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) numbers.

The investment strategy and policy employed during the period under review were in line with the investment strategy and policy as stated in the prospectus. For the period under review, the Fund has achieved its objective of providing long term growth through capital appreciation.

EQUITY MARKET REVIEW

At the beginning of May 2017, investors were spooked at news of the collapse of the Bandar Malaysia land deal that led to retracement in the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (“FBM KLCI”) by 14 points. Concerns on the broader market were short-lived, however, as the FBM KLCI continued on its upwards momentum shortly after. After concerns over the future of investments from China, on 15 May 2017 the Chinese Government pledged more funds for the One Belt, One Road (“OBOR”) initiative.

In the recent Belt and Road Initiative Summit in May 2017, nine new memorandum of understanding agreements including several new deals totalling more than United States Dollar (“USD”) 7.2 billion were signed between companies from the two countries. These include the setting-up of a Robotic Future City in Johor, a USD2 billion methanol and methanol derivatives project in Sarawak, a deal worth USD1.5 billion to export Cavendish bananas and tropical fruits to China, and an engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (“EPCC”) contract amounting to USD132.6 million to develop a mixed-use commercial hub in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, known as The Shore. An aviation joint venture (“JV”) was inked to establish a low-cost carrier terminal in Zhengzhou, capital of Henan province in central China. Bursa Malaysia and Shanghai Stock

66

Exchange also signed a pact to explore potential ways to improve market accessibility and products in both markets.

The closer ties between China and Malaysia have also resulted in increased collaboration in other non-OBOR projects including the acquisition of Edra Energy by China General Nuclear Power Corp (“CGN”), Impressions Malacca and proposed acquisition of a 49.9% stake in Proton by Zhejiang Geely.

On the economic front, headline numbers continue to be strong with first quarter of year 2017 GDP growth reaching 5.6% Year-on-Year (“YoY”), the strongest in over two years. Corporate Malaysia’s earnings for the June quarter were subdued. Sectors that disappointed include auto, plantations, media, healthcare and property.

As the market moved towards the end of financial period under review, the Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (“KLCI”) closed flat Month-on-Month (“MoM”) in October 2017 despite a 7% MoM rise in brent crude oil price and tabling of Budget year 2018. Budget year 2018 was broadly within expectations, with few surprises to excite the market. While the strong focus on fiscal discipline was encouraging, the budget’s populist slant contained measures to address the rising living costs, with special focus on assisting lower income groups and civil servants – in addition to emphasis on investments in infrastructure, education, and skills development. The proposals are clearly positive for the consumer and construction sectors. The proposal to cut income tax rates ought to help to lift consumption, while the continued positive news flow for construction is likely to sustain investor interest in the sector.

EQUITY MARKET OUTLOOK AND STRATEGY

The Malaysian economy grew at a robust pace in first half of year 2017, supported by a continued surge in exports and external demand. As growth in external activities is expected to continue on the back of sustained global growth outlook into next year, we expect GDP growth to be maintained at a strong 5.4% in year 2018, inching up from +5.3% estimated for year 2017.

In our view, domestic demand is likely to take centre stage in fuelling growth, as the spillover effects from strong external demand become more broad-based. Also, an improvement in revenue collection – amid stronger economic growth and potential pre-election spending is likely to lead to a modest increase in public consumption spending and investments. This should contribute to overall economic growth, instead of posing a drag, as in previous years.

77

Domestic demand is expected to pick up in year 2018, as the trickle-down effect from robust external activities becomes more broad-based. Private consumption is expected to be supported by employment gains and income, while public sector spending should be bolstered by higher revenue and expected election spending.

Bank Negara Malaysia (“BNM”), in our view, is likely hike the overnight policy rate (“OPR”) by 25 basis points (“bps”) to 3.25% in year 2018. This is in tandem with major central banks’ moves to tighten their respective monetary policies while the country’s economic growth continues to strengthen.

With global economies riding firmly on a growth wave, we believe the current economic cycle – year 2018 is the ninth year – has a strong chance of being extended. This is despite the political challenges in the United States (“US”) confronting the Trump Administration, stymying its efforts to implement various reflationary policies. Also encouraging is the economic recovery in the Eurozone, while unbridled populism has been constrained, resulting in easing political risks.

While a slowdown in China’s economy could be a threat to global growth, we think this is a longer-term concern. Within our investment horizon, we still expect China’s economy to growth at a robust pace, expanding 6.8% and 6.6% in year 2017 and year 2018. We also see Japan continuing to ride on the gathering pace of global growth, driven by exports and improving consumption spending.

Malaysia’s economic performance is also responding well to the pick-up in global trade and we are forecasting growth to remain robust, going into year 2018 (+5.4% GDP growth). The stronger external demand is expected to spill over to lift domestic demand, which would gradually take centre stage to drive growth going forward.

While the export sector is the immediate beneficiary of the stronger external activities, this has had a disproportionately mild impact on FBM KLCI component stocks, as the sector is not well presented on the benchmark index. Nonetheless, the pick-up in the pace of growth and gradual transmission to other parts of the economy bodes well for corporate earnings, which are on track to rebound in year 2017 and year 2018.

Against this macroeconomic backdrop – amid robust domestic liquidity and impending general elections – we continue to reiterate our positive stance on Malaysian equities. Relative to other regional markets, the country continues to lag behind regional peers in absolute performance year to date, although consensus valuations are not especially demanding.

RHB CAPITAL FUND NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS FINANCIAL PERIOD ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2017

1 THE FUND, THE MANAGER AND THEIR PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The RHB Capital Fund (hereinafter referred to as “the Fund”) was constituted pursuant to the execution of a Master deed (conventional funds) dated 12 June 2008 as amended via its supplemental master deed (conventional funds) dated 25 August 2008, second supplemental master deed (conventional funds) dated 12 December 2008, third supplemental master deed (conventional funds) dated 19 June 2009, fifth supplemental master deed (conventional funds) dated 26 April 2010, sixth supplemental master deed (conventional funds) dated 28 June 2010, ninth supplemental master deed (conventional funds) dated 7 March 2012, tenth supplemental master deed (conventional funds) dated 13 April 2012, fifteenth supplemental master deed (conventional funds) dated 30 April 2013, sixteenth supplemental master deed (conventional funds) dated 24 September 2013, seventeenth supplemental master deed (conventional funds) dated 2 March 2015, eighteenth supplemental master deed (conventional funds) dated 20 May 2015 and nineteenth supplemental master deed (conventional funds) dated 3 August 2015 (collectively referred to as “the Deeds”) between RHB Asset Management Sdn Bhd (“the Manager”) and Maybank Trustees Berhad (“the Trustee”).

The Fund was launched on 12 April 1995 and will continue its operations until terminated according to the conditions provided in the Deeds.

The principal activity of the Fund is to invest in ‘Permitted Investments’ as defined inthe Deeds, which comprises securities (including unlisted securities in Malaysia), collective investment schemes, futures contracts, securities lending, liquid assets and any other form of investments as may be approved by the relevant authorities from time to time.

All investments will be subject to the Securities Commission Malaysia’s (“SC”) Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds, SC requirements, the Deeds, except where exemptions or variations have been approved by the SC, internal policies and procedures and objective of the Fund.

The main objective of the Fund is to achieve long term growth through capital appreciation with all income including profits on realisation of investments being automatically reinvested for its compounding effect.

The Manager, a company incorporated in Malaysia, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of RHB Investment Bank Berhad, effective from 6 January 2003. Its principal activities include rendering of investment management services, management of unit trust funds and private retirement schemes and provision of investment advisory services.

1818

1 THE FUND, THE MANAGER AND THEIR PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)

These financial statements were authorised for issue by the Manager on 22December2017.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1 Basis of preparation of the financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss, except as disclosed in this summary of significant accounting policies, and in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with MFRS and IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the financial period. It also requires the Manager to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Fund’s accounting policies. Although these estimates and judgement are based on the Manager’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may differ.

(a) The Fund has applied the following amendments for the first time for the financial period beginning on 1 May 2017:

Amendments to MFRS 107 “Statement of Cash Flows – Disclosure Initiative” (effective from 1 January 2017) introduce an additional disclosure on changes in liabilities arising from financing activities.

The adoption of these amendments did not have any impact on the current financial period or any prior period and is not likely to affect future periods.

1919

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.1 Basis of preparation of the financial statements (continued)

(b) The new standards and amendments to published standards which are relevant to the Fund but not yet effective and have not been early adopted are as follows:

(i) Financial period beginning on/after 1 May 2018

MFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (effective from 1 January 2018) will replace MFRS 139 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”.

MFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model in MFRS 139 and establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost, fair value through profit or loss and fair value through other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model and the cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Investments in equity instruments are always measured at fair value through profit or loss with an irrevocable option at inception to present changes in fair value in OCI (provided the instrument is not held for trading). A debt instrument is measured at amortised cost only if the entity is holding it to collect contractual cash flows and the cash flows represent principal and interest.

2020

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.1 Basis of preparation of the financial statements (continued)

(b) The new standards and amendments to published standards which are relevant to the Fund but not yet effective and have not been early adopted are as follows: (continued)

(i) Financial period beginning on/after 1 May 2018 (continued)

For liabilities, the standard retains most of the MFRS 139 requirements. These include amortised cost accounting for most financial liabilities, with bifurcation of embedded derivatives. The main change is that, in cases where the fair value option is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a fair value change due to an entity’s own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive income rather than the profit or loss, unless this creates an accounting mismatch.

MFRS 9 introduces an expected credit loss model on impairment that replaces the incurred loss impairment model used in MFRS 139. The expected credit loss model is forward-looking and eliminates the need for a trigger event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised.

The above standards and amendments to published standards are not expected to have a significant impact on the Fund’s financial statements.

2.2 Financial assets

Classification

Financial assets are designated as fair value through profit or loss when they are managed and their performance are evaluated on a fair value basis.

The Fund designates its investments in quoted investments as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss at inception.

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and have been included in current assets. The Fund’s loans and receivables comprise cash and cash equivalents, amount due from stockbrokers, amount due from Manager anddividends receivable which are all due within 12 months.

2121

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.2 Financial assets (continued)

Recognition and measurement

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, the date on which the Fund commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value.

Transaction costs are costs incurred to acquire or dispose financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. They include fees and commissions paid to agents, advisors, brokers and dealers. Transaction costs, when incurred, are immediately recognised in statement of comprehensive income as expenses.

Financial assets are de-recognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

Unrealised gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ category are recognised in statement of comprehensive income in the financial period in which they arise.

Quoted investments are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently remeasured at fair value based on the market price quoted on the relevant stock exchanges at the close of the business on the valuation day, where the close price falls within the bid-ask spread. In circumstances where the close price is not within the bid-ask price, the Manager will determine the point within the bid-ask spread that is most representative of the fair value.

If a valuation based on the market price does not represent the fair value of the securities, for example during abnormal market conditions or when no market price is available, including in the event of a suspension in the quotation of the securities for a period exceeding 14 days, or such shorter period as agreed by the Trustee, then the securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Manager, based on the methods or bases approved by the Trustee after appropriate technical consultation.

Deposits with licensed financial institutions are stated at cost plus accrued interest calculated on the effective interest method over the period from the date of placement to the date of maturity of the respective deposits which is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short-term nature of the deposits

Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2222

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.2 Financial assets (continued)

Impairment of financial assets

For assets carried at amortised cost, the Fund assesses at the end of the financial period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The asset’s carrying amount is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in statement of comprehensive income. If ‘loans and receivables’ has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Fund may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.

If, in a subsequent financial period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in statement of comprehensive income. When an asset is uncollectible, it is written off against the related allowance account. Such assets are written off after all the necessary procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss has been determined.

2.3 Financial liabilities

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

Financial liabilities, within the scope of MFRS 139 “Financial Instruments:Recognition and Measurement”, 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.

2323

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.3 Financial liabilities (continued)

The Fund’s financial liabilities which include income distribution payable, amount due to stockbrokers, amount due to Manager, accrued management fee, amount due to Trustee and other payables and accruals 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 de-recognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished. Gains and losses are recognised in statement of comprehensive income when the liabilities are de-recognised, and through the amortisation process.

2.4 Unitholders’ capital

The unitholders’ contributions to the Fund meet the criteria of the definition of puttable instruments under MFRS 132 “Financial Instruments: Presentation”. Those criteria include:

the units entitle the holder to a proportionate share of the Fund’s net assets value;

the units are the most subordinated class and class features are identical; there is no contractual obligations to deliver cash or another financial asset

other than the obligation on the Fund to repurchase; and the total expected cash flows from the units over its life are based

substantially on the profit or loss of the Fund.

The outstanding units are carried at the redemption amount that is payable at each financial period if unitholder exercises the right to put the unit back to the Fund.

Units are created and cancelled at prices based on the Fund’s net asset value per unit at the time of creation or cancellation. The Fund’s net asset value per unit is calculated by dividing the net assets attributable to unitholders with the total number of outstanding units.

2424

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.5 Income recognition

Dividend income from quoted investments is recognised when the Fund’s right to receive payment is established.

Interest income from deposits with licensed financial institutions is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.

Realised gain or loss on sale of quoted investments is arrived at after accounting for cost of investments, determined on the weighted average cost method.

2.6 Taxation

Current tax expense is determined according to Malaysian tax laws and includes all taxes based upon the taxable income earned during the financial period.

2.7 Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise bank balance and deposits with a licensed financial institution which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

2.8 Amount due from/to stockbrokers

Amounts due from and to brokers represent receivables for securities sold and payables for securities purchased that have been contracted for but not yet settled or delivered on the date of the statement of financial position respectively.

These amounts are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment for amounts due from stockbrokers. See Note 2.2 on impairment of financial assets.

2525

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.9 Presentation and functional currency

Items included in 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, which is the Fund’s presentation and functional currency.

2.10 Segmental information

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting used by the chief operating decision-maker. The operating results are regularly reviewed by the Manager and the Investment Committee. The Investment Committee assumes the role of chief operating decision maker, for performance assessment purposes and to make decisions about resources allocated to the investment segment based on the recommendation by the Investment & Security Selection Committee.

3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Fund is exposed to a variety of risks, which include management risk, stock market risk, price risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, individual stock risk, credit risk, non-compliance risk and capital risk.

Financial risk management is carried out through internal control processes adopted by the Manager and adherence to the investment restrictions as stipulated in the Prospectus.

Management risk

Poor management of the Fund may jeopardise the investment of each unitholder. Therefore, it is important for the Manager to set the investment policies and appropriate strategies to be in line with the investment objective before any investment activities can be considered. However, there can be no guarantee that these measures will produce the desired results.

2626

3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Stock market risk

Securities may decline in value due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries represented in the securities markets. The value of a security may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investors’ sentiment generally. They may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labour shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities. The market price of securities owned by a unit trust fund might go down or up, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably.

Price risk

Price risk is the risk that the fair value of an investment of the Fund will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk).

The Fund’s overall exposure to price risk was as follows:

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the cost or the value of the financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Fund’s exposure to the interest rate risk is mainly from short term placements with financial institutions. The Manager overcomes the exposure by way of maintaining deposits on short term basis. Therefore, exposure to interest rate fluctuation is minimal.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations.

Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to sell, possibly preventing a unit trust fund from selling such illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price. Unit trust funds with principal investment strategies that involve securities or securities with substantial market and/or credit risk tend to have the greater exposure to liquidity risk. As part of its risk management, the Manager will attempt to manage the liquidity of the Fund through asset allocation and diversification strategies within the portfolio. The Manager will also conduct constant fundamental research and analysis to forecast future liquidity of its investments.

Individual stock risk

The performance of each individual stock that a unit trust fund invests is dependent upon the management quality of the particular company and its growth potential. Hence, this would have an impact on the unit trust fund’s prices and its dividend income. The Manager aims to reduce all these risks by using diversification that is expected to reduce the volatility as well as the risk for the Fund’s portfolio. In addition, the Manager will also perform continuous fundamental research and analysis to aid its active asset allocation management especially in its stock selection process.

2929

3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a particular investment will not be able to make timely or full payments of principal or income due on that investment. The credit risk arising from placements of deposits in licensed financial institutions is managed by ensuring that the Fund will only place deposits in reputable licensed financial institutions. For amount due from stockbrokers, the settlement terms are governed by the relevant rules and regulations as prescribed by the Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia”). The settlement terms of the proceeds from the creation of units receivable from the Manager are governed by the SC Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds.

3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Non-compliance risk

This is the risk of the Manager not complying with the internal policies, the Deeds of the Fund, all applicable laws or guidelines issued by the regulators. This may occur as a result of system failure or the inadvertence of the Manager. The magnitude of such risk and its impact on the Fund and/or unitholders are dependent on the nature and severity of the non-compliance. Non-compliance may adversely affect the Fund especially if the investment of the Fund has to be disposed at a lower price to rectify the non-compliance.

Capital risk

The capital of the Fund is represented by equity consisting of unitholders’ capital of RM143,759,358 (30.04.2017: RM136,238,811) and retained earnings ofRM36,011,767 (30.04.2017: RM34,686,836). The amount of equity can change significantly on a daily basis as the Fund is subject to daily subscriptions and redemptions at the discretion of unitholders. The Fund’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for unitholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain a strong capital base to support the development of the investment activities of the Fund.

4 FAIR VALUE ESTIMATION

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e. an exit price).

The fair value of financial assets traded in active market (such as publicly traded derivatives and trading securities) are based on quoted market prices at the close of trading on the financial period end date.

An active market is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

3131

4 FAIR VALUE ESTIMATION (CONTINUED)

The fair value of financial assets that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Fund uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each financial period end date. Valuation techniques used for non-standardised financial instruments such as options, currency swaps and other over-the-counter derivatives, include the use of comparable recent transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models and other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants making the maximum use of market inputs and relying as little as possible on entity-specific inputs.

For instruments for which there is no active market, the Fund may use internally developed models, which are usually based on valuation methods and techniques generally recognised as standard within the industry. Valuation models are used primarily to value unlisted equity, debt securities and other debt instruments for which market were or have been inactive during the financial period. Some of the inputs to these models may not be market observable and are therefore estimated based on assumptions.

The output of a model is always an estimate or approximation of a value that cannot be determined with certainty, and valuation techniques employed may not fully reflect all factors relevant to the positions the Fund holds.

Valuations are therefore adjusted, where appropriate, to allow for additional factors including model risk, liquidity risk and counterparty risk.

The fair values are based on the following methodologies and assumptions:

(i) For bank balances, deposits and placements with financial institutions with maturities less than 1 year, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

(ii) The carrying value of receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short term nature.

3232

4 FAIR VALUE ESTIMATION (CONTINUED)

Fair value hierarchy

The Fund adopted MFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” in respect of disclosures about the degree of reliability of fair value measurement. This requires the Fund to classify fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices)

Level 3: Inputs for the asset and liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs)

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety. If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a level 3 measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgement, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.

The determination of what constitutes ‘observable’ requires significant judgement by the Fund. The Fund considers observable data to be that market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.

16 SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Investment & Security Selection Committee of the Manager recommends strategic resource allocations of the Fund to the Investment Committee of the Manager (collectively referred to as “Committee”). The Investment Committee of the Manager will then endorse the strategic decision recommended by the Investment & Security Selection Committee for adoption on behalf of the Fund. The operating segments are determined based on the recommendation by the Investment & Security Selection Committee and reviewed by the Investment Committee.

The internal reporting provided to the Committee for the Fund’s assets, liabilities and performance is prepared on a consistent basis with the measurement and recognition principles of MFRS. The Committee is responsible for the Fund’s entire portfolio and considers the business to have a single operating segment located in Malaysia. The Committee’s asset allocation decisions are based on a single, integrated investment strategy and the Fund’s performance is evaluated on an overall basis.

The reportable operating segments derive their income by seeking investments to achieve targeted returns commensurate with an acceptable level of risk within each portfolio. These returns consist of dividend income, interest and gains on the appreciation in the value of investments, which are derived from quoted investments in Malaysia.

There were no changes in the reportable segments during the financial period.
