As at end-December 2014, Pheim Emerging Companies Balanced Fund’s assetallocation was 39.18% in equities, 27.35% in fixed income securities and 33.47% incash. We reduced our equity exposure to 39.18% from 56.33% as we took profits fromselected stocks. During the year, the fund had invested in foreign equities listed in HongKong/China, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and South Korea as part of thediversification strategy.

On the local front, Bank Negara Malaysia increased the overnight policy rate (OPR) by25 basis points on the 10th of July. The floor and ceiling rates of the corridor of the OPRrate were also similarly raised bringing these to 3.00% and 3.50% respectively.According to the monetary policy statement, the normalization of the monetary conditionswere to mitigate the risk of broader economic and financial imbalances that couldundermine the growth prospects of the Malaysian economy. Given the developments inmonetary and financial conditions, the current monetary policy stance is consideredaccommodative and is assessed to be appropriate by Bank Negara Malaysia.
As a result of sharply weaker oil prices (WTI is now down more than 50% from its peakof around USD100), there has been increasing concern that Malaysia would have its own“twin deficit”. The national oil company Petronas warned that its capital expenditure in2015 might be cut by 15% to 20%. As revenue from oil accounts for more than 30% ofthe country’s revenue collection, it is clear that there is a real risk that the governmentmay not be able to achieve the fiscal deficit target of 3.0% of gross domestic product(GDP) for 2015 without trimming its outlays.
On the external front, the US remains committed to keeping interest rates atexceptionally low levels. However, this could change anytime as the US economicrecovery continues to be promising. That being said, we believe the hike in interest rateswould be done on a gradual basis to avoid disrupting US economic recovery. In fact, theUS Federal Reserve has reiterated that the interest rates would be kept low for aconsiderable time and signalled that it would be patient in deciding on the timing to raisethe interest rates.
3.5.1.2 Bond/Sukuk Market Outlook and Strategy
In its 2013 annual report, Bank Negara Malaysia mentioned that inflation in 2014 and2015 is expected to be above the historical average of between 3% to 4%. We believe thehigher inflationary pressure comes from higher domestic costs such as wages, electricitytariff increase and the gradual removal of subsidies coupled with the depreciation of theringgit against the USD. Besides, the introduction of goods and services tax (GST) in April2015 can be expected to result in a price spike, though this GST effect may only be one-off.
Due to higher inflationary pressures, we do not discount the possibility of another 25 basispoints hike in the Malaysia’s OPR rate in the year 2015 and therefore, we expect the yieldon Malaysian government securities to steepen especially for the longer dated securities.We remain conservative and would prefer maturities of less than 5 years of maturity tomitigate interest rate risks.
We would continue to adopt a prudent approach with key assessment criteria that includethe issuers’ credit profile, management, financial performance, asset quality, riskmanagement and industry outlook. We would continue to focus on investment gradebonds/sukuks.
3.5.2 Stock Markets Review
3.5.2.1 Malaysian Stock Market – (Bursa Malaysia)
The FBM KLCI registered a decline of 5.7% y.o.y in 2014 to close the year at 1,761.25points. It was the worst performing market among the key Asian markets as oil pricestumbled and the ringgit weakened, aggravated by foreign outflows. The ringgit hasweakened against the USD to RM3.4973/USD as at end of December 2014 compared toRM3.2757/USD from a year earlier. It is set to weaken further.
GDP growth in the third quarter of 2014 expanded 5.6% y.o.y, decelerating from arevised 6.5% growth in the previous quarter as all sectors in the economy rose at aslower pace. The trade surplus in November expanded to RM11.1 bil, the highest sinceNovember 2011, mainly driven by the surprising growth in exports and flattish imports.
Budget 2015, tabled in October, sees a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth of 5-6%,with total federal government expenditure rising to RM273.9 bil. It also highlighted thegovernment’s commitment to roll out RM160 bil in railway-related infrastructure over thenext few years and leverage on the public-private partnership (PPP) model to developfurther highway infrastructure. However, there are concerns that the government mayhave to revise Budget 2015 due to changing macro environment amid the plunge in theoil prices and weaker ringgit which may derail the government’s 3% fiscal deficit target for2015.
The inflation rate, inched up to 3.0% y.o.y in November, from +2.8% in the previousmonth and compared with +2.6% in September. The higher inflation in November wasreflected in a faster increase in the core inflation rate, largely due to a sharp increase inthe prices of alcoholic beverages & tobacco. Bank Negara Malaysia maintained theOvernight Policy Rate after raising it by 25bps to 3.25% in July. With the implementationof the GST as well as subsidy reductions, the inflation is expected to trend higher goingforward.
We maintain our neutral view given that Malaysia runs the risk of a trade deficit andcurrent account deficit with weaker oil and CPO prices, which may put pressure on thecountry’s credit ratings. In addition, the government’s fiscal reforms continue to be a dragon consumption with subsidy rationalization and the rollout of GST. Market valuation alsoremains relatively high compared to its regional peers. Although we do not see a quickreturn to bullish outlook, we believe there are companies that may benefit from weakerringgit and lower commodity prices. We remain selective in our search for undervaluedstocks in this challenging market environment.
The FSSTI was up modestly in 2014 with a gain of 6.24% y.o.y. The top performers in2014 included banks, land transport, S-REIT and telecommunications. S-REITs made acomeback after a poor performance in 2013, as interest rates remained low. The bankingsector performed well in the 2nd half of 2014 as the market expected that the US FederalReserve will increase interest rates due to strengthening in economy. In 2014, the SGDdepreciated by 4.95% y.o.y against the USD to close at 1.3255/USD.
The Singapore economy grew a less-than-expected 1.5% in the last three months of2014 compared to 2.8% in the previous quarter. On the quarter-on-quarter seasonallyadjusted annualized basis, the economy expanded by 1.6%, slower than the 3.1%expansion in the previous quarter. The lackluster fourth quarter growth figure wasdragged down mainly by the manufacturing and construction sectors. The manufacturingsector contracted 2% over same period in 2013, while the construction industry expandedby merely 0.8%. The services sector which makes up 70% of the Singapore economy,grew 2.6%.
Singapore was hit by deflation for the first time in five years on the back of plummetingglobal crude oil prices. Consumer prices across the economy fell by 0.3% in Novemberover the same month last year. This was mainly caused by declining private roadtransport costs, which includes car and petrol pump prices. Core inflation came in at1.5% versus the previous month's 1.7%.
Non-oil exports grew 2.3% in December over the same month in 2013, after the 0.8%growth in previous month, driven by higher shipments of both electronics and non-electronics products. The top three contributors to non-oil export growth were SouthKorea, Malaysia and European Union.
Corporate earnings in 2014 were generally below market expectations resulting in marketconsensus earnings downgraded throughout the year. Singapore market is expect to bevolatile in the first half of 2015 given the rising concerns on external issues such asweaker growth in China, interest rate hike by US Federal Reserve and Greece possiblyleaving the European Union. In addition, the domestic challenges of economicrestructuring, tight labour market and elevated cost will remain key challenges forSingapore’s economy growth.
3.5.3.2 Hong Kong/ China Market
The Hang Seng Index rose 1.28% in 2014 to close at 23,605.04 points. Sector wise,telecom, REITs and utilities performed well while gaming sector was hit by negativenews flows, driven by the junket default, tighter liquidity, corruption crackdown andeconomic slowdown in China.
Total retail sales volume in Hong Kong increased 7.5% in November 2014 over thesame month in the previous year, driven by the sales of food-related category, clothingand foodwear, jewellery, watches as well as the sales at department stores. However,some of the headwinds in Hong Kong’s retail industry should not be neglected. Despite
the improvement in retail sales during a 79 day-long street occupation by pro-democracydemonstrators, the market remained concerned about the change in tourism spendingamid economic slowdown in China. The Hong Kong stock market is becoming morechallenging as it is now facing both economic and political risks.
China economy grew by 7.4% in 2014, in line with market expectations and was theweakest expansion in 24 years. The GDP growth was slightly below the governmenttarget of 7.5% for the year. The China government is focusing on a more sustainablepath while tackling a housing slowdown, softening domestic demand and weak globalrecovery. Main contribution to GDP was spending on consumption, which up from 48.2%in 2013 to 51.2% in 2014. Industrial production grew 8.3% in 2014 versus 9.7% in 2013,while fixed-asset investment rose by 15.7% y.o.y, down from 19.6%, the slowest rate in13 years. China’s slowdown provided a huge impact on global commodity prices andexporters around the world. IMF lowered its forecast for China’s economy in 2015 from7.1% growth to 6.8% growth, due to the slowdown in property and investment.
In November 2014, China cut benchmark interest rates for the first time since July 2012with the one-year lending rate reduced by 0.4 percentage point to 5.6%, while the one-year deposit rate was lowered by 0.25 percentage point to 2.75%. The policymakers alsodecided to increase ceiling for deposit rates to 1.2 times the benchmark rate from theprevious 1.1 times. This was another move by its central bank to bolster flaggingeconomic growth after the injection of more than USD 126 billion into the bankingsystem in September and October. The rate cut boosted investors’ sentiments anddrove strong gains in the stock market in the last quarter of 2014.
The China economy is still facing downside risks as traditional industries continue toundergo capacity elimination process while the housing market down-cycle persists.With the recent macro data staying weak, the market is expecting further monetaryeasing in the first half of 2015. The China/Hong Kong market is expected to be liquidity-driven given a lack of fundamental support.
3.5.3.3 Indonesia Market
The Indonesian stock market was among the best performers in 2014. The JCI closedthe year at 5,226.95 points, up 22.3% y.o.y. Despite a hiccup in Sep-Oct period amidglobal jitters, the Index managed to recoup nearly all it had lost from the year’s peak of5,246.48 points. The rupiah depreciated by 1.8% y.o.y against the USD to close 2014 atIDR12,388/USD. The dollar gain on the JCI was 20.5% y.o.y.
Bank Indonesia has maintained the policy rate at 7.75% in December after raising it by25bps in an extraordinary meeting in November in an effort to tame the inflation followingthe hike of subsidized petrol and diesel prices in same month.
The 2014 third quarter GDP growth slowed to 5.01% y.o.y, the weakest in 5 years, from5.12% in previous quarter. Bank Indonesia in its December Monetary Policy Reviewprojected economic growth to continue decelerating in the 2014 fourth quarter but willrebound in 2015 first quarter. The Central Bank projected the GDP growth in 2014towards the lower end of the 5.1-5.5% range before rebounding to 5.4-5.8% in 2015.According to information from the Central Bank, the current account deficit narrowed to3.1% of GDP in the third quarter from 4.3% of GDP in the previous quarter mainly due to
resumed mineral exports after the government and several miners managed to finalizerenegotiations.
Inflation in December was recorded at 8.36% y.o.y higher than 6.23% in Novembermainly due to the fuel price hike in a month earlier. Thanks to the currently lower crude oilprices, the Government announced full removal of the subsidy for RON88 gasoline, anda fixed IDR1,000/litre subsidy for diesel fuel from January 1st, 2015. The Governmentestimates that 2015 oil and gas subsidy expenditure will fall from IDR276 tril to only aboutIDR60 tril.
Joko Widodo was sworn in as Indonesia’s 7th President on October 20th after winning atight race against rival candidate Prabowo Subianto in the July’s Presidential Election. Heformed a cabinet of which professionals constitute 59% of his 34 ministries. Infrastructuredevelopment is going to be the main focus of the Government where the fuel subsidyreform is expected to provide more room for more productive sectors such as the muchneeded infrastructure which will ultimately benefit the country. The challenge, however,would be efficient implementation.
We maintain our cautiously optimistic view on Indonesia and we are hopeful that thelargest economy with the biggest population in the Asean region will see a better futureahead under the strong leadership of Joko Widodo. Our investment strategy is to look forcompanies well positioned to benefit from the country’s development and growth.
3.5.3.4 Thailand Market
The SET index wrapped up 2014 with a strong gain of 15.32% to end at 1497.67 points.As at end FY14, headline inflation stood at 0.60% and policy rate remained benign at2.00%. Inflation tumbled 64% and policy rate fell 11% respectively for the year. The ThaiBhat depreciated marginally 0.63% against US Dollar as the currency closed atBaht32.91 compared to US Dollar to Baht32.71 in 2013. Local institutions recorded theirhighest net buy (THB24 bil) since June 2013, driven by year-end LTF purchases whilelocal retail investors showed another THB16 bil net buy at end December. Foreigninvestors on the flipside recorded another USD1 bil outflow, after the already-largeoutflow of USD6.2 bil in 2013.
The economy showed some stability in recent months following events including theBangkok shut down beginning 2014 which led to the declaration of martial law in May andeventually a coup. The political stalemate then settled with the formation of a militarygovernment where Military junta Chief Prayuth Chan-ocha became Thailand’s 29th PrimeMinister on August 25, 2014.
The Monetary Policy Committee decided to bring down the policy rate by another 25bp to2.00% in March as the prolonged political unrest curbed local demand, hurt tourism.These and other problems raised downside risks on the country’s economic outlook. TheBank of Thailand has also revised its GDP forecast for 2014 from 1.5% to 0.8% becauseof lower-than-expected government spending, slow recovery of private investment,tourism income and export expansion.
After strong rallies throughout the year, Thailand’s SET underperformed significantly inDecember. However as a whole, Thailand has rebounded drastically from the low as the
political stalemate ended with a military government. We are looking for opportunities tosecure a better position stepping into 2015 while mitigating downside earnings risks froma moderating growth outlook. We remain cautiously optimistic on Thailand.
3.5.3.5 Philippines Market
In 2014, the Philippines equity market surged 22.8% y.o.y to settle at 7230.57 points inDecember, buoyed by positive economic data and healthy corporate earnings. The Pesodepreciated 0.73% y.o.y in 2014 with PHP44.72 /USD recorded at the end of December.
The Philippines registered slower GDP growth of 5.6%, 6.4% and 5.3% respectively in1Q14, 2Q14 and 3Q14 mainly due to slowdown in government spending.
In 2014, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) increased the benchmark borrowing,lending rates and Special Deposit Account (SDA) rate twice to 4%, 6% and 2.5%respectively. Also, the reserve requirement of banks was raised twice in the year of 2014.
Philippines inflation eased to 3.7% in November from the 4.3% in October due to lowerfood prices and utility prices. YTD inflation reported at 4.3%. Lower inflationary pressurewould allow the central bank to have more room to maintain the loose monetary policy.
On the Philippines sovereign credit rating in 2014, Standard and Poor’s upgraded thePhilippine’s sovereign credit rating to BBB from BBB- with a stable outlook, one notchabove the investment grade. S&P cited the country’s strong external liquidity andinvestment position, and effective monetary policy framework will likely be sustainable.Moody’s Investors Service followed suit and raised the Philippine’s credit caring to Baa2with a stable outlook.
The Philippines market was one of the best-performing markets in the region this year,but the most expensive market trading at 2014PE of 20.8x. We expect the Philippineseconomy to remain robust in 2015 driven by healthy domestic consumption, mainly dueto lower oil prices, higher cash remittances in Peso terms and election spending. We arewatchful of potential risks from correction in market valuation and remain selective on thePhilippines market for undervalued high growth companies.
3.5.3.6 Taiwan Stock Market
The TWSE Index surged 8.08% y.o.y to close the year at 9307.26 index points. Theindex was volatile during the year, with robust performance in 1H14 driven by interest intechnology stocks on Apple new products. However, this was followed by a sell down andprofit-taking on stocks related to the Apple supply chain. Investors’ confidence was onceagain boosted in 4Q14 by healthy exports data and Legislative Yuan passing the bill toplace on hold the capital gains tax rule for three years. The Taiwan Dollar (TWD)depreciated 6.2% y.o.y against the USD in 2014 to close at TWD31.656/USD at the endof December.
Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting, and Statistics reported that Taiwan's GDPgrowth rate was 3.41% y.o.y, 3.87% y.o.y and 3.63% y.o.y in 1Q14, 2Q14 and 3Q14respectively, mainly bolstered by strong demand for Taiwan’s exports of electronicproduct and domestic consumption.
Taiwan official manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) recorded at 50.1 inDecember, against the 49.2 recorded in November, supported by a recovery in the US.Another set of data published by Markit Economics shows that the HSBC Taiwan PMIstagnated in December at 50.0, down from 51.4 in November.
November’s exports grew 3.7% y.o.y buoyed by consumer electronic componentshipments, bringing 11-month exports to USD288.2 bil, up 3.3% y.o.y.
The general elections of all local governments in Taiwan on November 29 turned out tobe a landslide victory for the opposition party, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP),which won 13 seats in Taiwan's 22 counties and cities, versus only 6 seats won by theruling party – Kuomintang (KMT). After the mayoral election, the Taiwanese President MaYing-Jeou resigned as chairman of Kuomintang (KMT) for the defeat in the election.
In 2014, Taiwan's central bank left its key interest rates unchanged. Discount rateremained unchanged at 1.875%, the secured loan rate at 2.25% and the unsecured loanrate at 4.125%.
US economic recovery and lower TWD are expected to cushion the slower growth inother major export partners namely China, Europe and Japan. In the domestic market,lower oil prices would lift household purchasing power and support domesticconsumption. We will continue to invest in undervalued high growth companies in Taiwanespecially on cloud computing, Internet of Things, mid- to low-end smartphone playersand consumer names with strong growth.
3.5.3.7 South Korean Stock Market
During the year ended 2014, the KOSPI index declined by 4.76% to close at 1,915.59points due to concern over economic uncertainty and a continued depreciation of theJapanese yen against the Korean Won. Meanwhile, the KRW depreciated by 3.92%against the USD following the ending of the quantitative easing measure by the USFederal Reserve.
The South Korea’s GDP grew by 3.2% y.o.y in the 3Q14. On a q.o.q basis, the economyincreased marginally by 0.9%. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), SouthKorea is expected to grow by 4% in the year 2015.
In line with the slow pace of economic growth, South Korea’s inflation eased to 0.8% inDecember from 1% in the previous month. It was the lowest inflation in more than 15years which may reinforce the case for loose monetary policies to boost the economicgrowth.
The South Korean unemployment rate declined to 3.40% in November 2014 from 3.50%in October as more jobs were created in the health services, internal trade andconstruction sectors.
Despite the challenging economic outlook, we expect further upside potential on theKOSPI index on the back of foreign buying interest, low valuation and supportive fiscaland monetary policies. Nevertheless, South Korea may continue to face key issues suchas ageing population, slow economic growth and the continued depreciation of the
Japanese yen against the Korean Won. Moreover, the KOSPI index may continue to seehuge redemption at key resistance of 2,000 levels as most retail investors in Korea adopta short-term investment culture.
3.5.3.8 Australian Stock Market
The ASX 200 index recorded a marginal gain of 1.10% y.o.y to close the year of 2014 at5,411 points. The Aussie Dollar weakened by 8.32% against the US Dollar fromAUD1.1217/USD by the end of 2013 to close 2014 at AUD1.2239/USD.
Australia’s GDP grew 2.7% y.o.y in 3Q 2014 after expanding by 2.3% y.o.y in 3Q 2013.In its November Statement of Monetary Policy, The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA)maintained its GDP growth estimate for 2014 at 2.25-3.25% and for 2015 at 2.0-3.0% inthe view to the low level of interest rates and the strong population growth which isexpected to continue to underpin rising housing activity and housing prices. Exports,especially of resources, are expected to continue to contribute to growth, while decliningmining investment and, to a lesser extent, fiscal consolidation at both the state andfederal levels are likely to weigh on growth over the forecast period.
The RBA has left the cash rate unchanged throughout 2014 at a record low of 2.50%.The RBA cited that the Aussie Dollar is still too high and needs to fall further to aideconomic growth, especially considering recent significant falls in commodity prices.Australia’s CPI inflation rate increased marginally to 2.3% y.o.y in 3Q 2014, comparedwith a rate of 2.2% in 2Q 2013.
The unemployment rate edged higher over the year to 11-year high at 6.3% in November2014 from 5.8% in November 2013.
3.5.4 Foreign Securities Investment - Market Outlook and Strategy
For the year ended 2014, the MSCI Far East ex-Japan (USD) closed marginally higher by0.54%, underperforming the MSCI World index which increased by 2.93%. During theyear, institutional funds were seen reducing their exposures in emerging markets infavour of developed markets.
The US equity market was unperturbed when the quantitative easing (QE) programmecame to an end in October 2014 as it continued to rally reaching a historical high of18,103.45 points in December and closing with a gain of 7.52% for the year. It seemedlike the baton of quantitative easing measures has been passed on to Japan, Europe andChina. During the year, the Bank of Japan announced that it will expand its monetarybase to 80 trillion yen from 50 trillion yen. The European Central Bank (ECB) alsoconfirmed plans to pump in 1 trillion Euro of fresh stimulus to stimulate growth. Within theAsia ex-Japan equity markets, the top three performing markets, in local currenciesterms were India (+29.89%), Philippines (+22.76%) and Indonesia (+22.29%).Meanwhile, the worst performing markets were Malaysia (-5.66%), South Korea (-4.76%)and Hong Kong (+1.28%).
Emerging markets were hit at the start of the year by a combination of negative eventsincluding an expected slowdown in China and the tapering of the bond purchases by the
US Federal Reserve. After a bumpy ride in the January 2014, equities market roaredback to life towards the end of June due the expectations that the Federal Reservechairperson, Janet Yellen would be able to orderly manage the end of the quantitativeeasing without damage to the economic recovery.
Towards the 2nd half of the year, falling oil prices became the main theme. Oil and gasstocks came off the boil with oil prices falling to a near 6-year low (Brent falling belowUSD55 per barrel). Higher US shale oil production as well as weaker demand saw asupply overhang in world oil markets. This was worsened by the Organization ofPetroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)’s decision, that there would be no cuts inproduction. The slide in oil prices also dragged down other commodity stocks such as thepalm oil.
Overtime, lower oil prices are expected to benefit most economies through lower pricesand therefore, arguably, conferring more spending power on consumers. For oil exportingcountries like Malaysia which is trying to manage its fiscal deficit to 3% of its GDP, theeffects are net negative and for this reason, we see a likelihood that certain plannedcapital expenditure under the “2015 Budget” could be trimmed or deferred which maylead to weaker earnings outlook for the country’s construction sector.On balance, we believe the fundamentals of the Asia ex-Japan region remain relativelygood backed by sufficient headrooms for favourable fiscal and monetary policies shouldthese be required. We expect liquidity conditions to remain positive for the equitiesmarket and that interest rates will continue to stay low and accommodative.
The challenging global economic outlook will keep cautious investors on the side-lines.We will continue to invest in defensive stocks with solid fundamentals. Within the Asiaex-Japan region, we are overweighting our equity exposure on China/Hong Kong as webelieve the undemanding valuation may provide more upside potential for the equityfunds. Although there are signs that China is facing an economic slowdown, we believeChina would avoid a hard landing. In fact, China’s projected GDP growth is still one of thehighest in the world and it seems unjustifiable that the Hong Kong/China equity marketsare trading at or near their historical lows.

MFRS 9 - Financial Instruments (IFRS 9 issued in July 2014)
The Standard replaces earlier versions of MFRS 9 and introduces a package of improvements
which includes a classification and measurement model, a single forward-looking ‘expected loss’
impairment model and a substantially-reformed approach to hedge accounting.
The Fund will apply the above new MFRSs and amendments to MFRSs that are applicable once
they become effective. The main features of the new applicable standards and amendments to
standards are summarised below :-

PECBF
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONT'D.)
2.4
The key enhancements of MFRS 9 are :
MFRS 9, Financial Instruments (IFRS 9 issued in July 2014)(Cont'd)
• Under MFRS 9, all recognised financial assets are required to be subsequently measured at
either amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI") or fair value
through profit or loss ("FVTPL") on the basis of both an entity's business model for managing the
financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. These
requirements improve and simplify the approach for classification and measurement of financial
assets as the numerous categories of financial assets under MFRS 139 had been replaced.
• Most of the requirements in MFRS 139 for classification and measurement of financial
liabilities were carried forward unchanged to MFRS 9, except for the measurement of financial
liabilities designated as at FVTPL. Under MFRS 139, the entire amount of the change in the fair
value of the financial liability designated as FVTPL is presented in profit or loss. However,
MFRS 9 requires that the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is
attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive
income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability's own credit risk in other
comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss.
Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability's credit risk are not subsequently
reclassified to profit or loss.
New MFRSs and Amendments to MFRSs That Are In Issue But Not Yet Effective (Cont'd)
• In relation to the impairment of financial assets, MFRS 9 requires an expected credit loss
model, as opposed to an incurred credit loss model under MFRS 139. Under MFRS 9, it is no
longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised. Instead,
an entity always accounts for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses
at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.
• The new general hedge accounting requirements retain the three types of hedge accounting
mechanisms currently available in MFRS 139 i.e. fair value hedges, cash flow hedges and hedges
of a net investment in a foreign operation. MFRS 9 incorporates a new hedge accounting model
that aligns the hedge accounting more closely with an entity's risk management activities. The
new hedge accounting model has also expanded the scope of eligibility of hedge items and
hedging instruments respectively.
The initial application of MFRS 9 in the future may have an impact on the financial statements of
the Fund. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect until a
detailed review has been completed. The initial application of other new MFRSs and
amendments to MFRSs is not expected to have any significant impact on the financial statements
of the Fund.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
3.1 Financial Assets
(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL")
(b) Available-for-sale ("AFS") financial assets
Financial assets are recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, theFund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instruments. Regular way ofpurchase and sale of investments in financial instruments are recognised on trade dates. Whenfinancial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus attributabletransaction cost, for investment not at fair value through profit or loss.
The Fund determines the classification of its financial assets at the initial recognition, and thecategories include financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financialassets and loans and receivables.
Financial assets are classified as financial assets at FVTPL if they are held for trading or aredesignated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets held for trading includesecurities and fixed income securities and collective investment schemes acquiredprincipally for the purpose of selling them in near term.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at thedate of statement of financial position. Changes in the fair value of those financialinstruments are recorded in "Net gain or loss on financial assets at FVTPL". Interest earnedand dividend revenue elements of such instruments are recorded separately in "Interestincome" and "Gross dividend income", respectively. Foreign exchange differences onfinancial assets at FVTPL are not recognised separately in profit and loss but included in netgains or net losses on changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTPL.
AFS financial assets are financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are notclassified as financial assets at FVTPL or loans and receivables.
After initial recognition, AFS financial assets are measured at fair value. Gains or lossesfrom changes in fair value of the AFS financial assets are recognised in othercomprehensive income, except that impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losseson monetary instruments, dividend income and interest calculated using effective interestmethod are recognised in profit or loss.
The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income isreclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment when the financialasset is derecognised. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method isrecognised in profit or loss. Dividends on an AFS equity instrument are recognised in profitor loss when the Fund's right to receive payment is established.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the periods, presented in thesefinancial statements and have been applied consistently by the Fund, unless otherwise stated.
53
PECBF
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)
Significant or prolonged decline in fair value below cost, weaken fundamental, significant
financial difficulties of the issuer or obligor, and the disappearance of an active trading
market are considerations to determine whether there is objective evidence that investment
securities classified as AFS financial assets are impaired. At end of each financial year, the
Manager would receive impairment proposal from the Fund's external investment manager,
if any financial assets of the Fund, in their professional opinion, warrant an impairment
exercise.
Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that requiredelivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in themarket place concerned. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets arerecognised or derecognised on trade date, i.e. the date that the Fund commit to purchase orsell the asset.
A financial asset is derecognised when the asset is disposed and the contractual right toreceive cash flows from the asset has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in itsentirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the considerationreceived and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensiveincome is recognised in profit or loss.
Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or liability settled, betweenknowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction. The fair value for financialinstruments traded in active markets at the reporting date is based on their quoted price orbinding dealer price quotations, without deduction for transaction costs.
Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active marketare classified as loans and receivables. The Fund includes short term receivables such asbalances due from broker, Manager and other receivables in the classification. Loans andreceivables are recognised initially at fair value including transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised costusing effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when theloans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.
The Fund assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financialasset is impaired.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)
3.2 Impairment of Financial Assets (Cont'd)
(a) AFS financial assets (Cont'd)
(b) Trade and other receivables and other financial assets carried at amortised cost
To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assetshas been incurred, the Fund considers factors such as the probability of insolvency orsignificant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments.
If any such evidence exists, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the differencebetween the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flowsdiscounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss isrecognised in profit or loss.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for allfinancial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the amount is reducedthrough the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable becomes uncollectible, itis written off against the allowance account.
If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease canbe related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, thepreviously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount ofthe asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal isrecognised in profit or loss.
If an AFS financial asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost(net of any principal payment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less anyimpairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss, is transferred from equity to profitor loss.
Impairment losses on AFS equity investments are not reversed in profit or loss in thesubsequent periods. Increase in fair value, if any, subsequent to impairment loss isrecognised in other comprehensive income. For AFS debt investments, impairment lossesare subsequently reversed in profit or loss, up to the amount previously recognised asimpairment loss, if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively relatedto an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss in profit or loss.

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

3.9 Income Recognition
The unitholders' contributions to the Fund meet the definition of puttable instruments classifiedas equity instruments under MFRS 132.
Distribution equalisation represents the average distributable amount included in the creation andcancellation prices of units. This amount is either refunded to unitholders by way of distributionand/or adjusted accordingly when units are cancelled.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and deposits with financial institutions whichhave insignificant risk of changes in value.
Income is recognised to the extent that is probable that the economic benefits will flow to theFund and the income can be reliably measured. Income is measured at fair value of considerationreceived or receivable.
Dividend income is recognised when the Fund's right to receive payment is established.
Interest income, which includes the accretion of discount and amortisation of premium on fixedincome securities, is recognised using effective interest method.
Income distributions are at the discretion of the Manager. Income distribution to the Fund'sunitholders is accounted for as a deduction from realised reserves except where distribution issourced out of distribution equalisation which is accounted for as deduction from unitholders'capital.
Exchange differences arising from the translation of non-monetary items carried at fair value areincluded in profit or loss for the period except for the differences arising on the translation ofnon-monetary items in respect of which gains or losses are recognised directly in equity.Exchange differences arising from such non-monetary items are recognised directly to equity.

The Trustee is entitled to a fee of 0.07% per annum based on NAV of the Fund (before deducting themanager's and trustee's fee for the day) calculated and accrued on a daily basis, subject to a minimum ofRM18,000 per annum.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with MFRS and IFRS requires the use ofcertain accounting estimates and exercise of judgements. Estimates and judgements arecontinually evaluated and are based on past experience, reasonable expectations of future eventsand other factors.
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from orpaid to the tax authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those thatare enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Current taxes are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to itemsrecognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
No deferred tax is recognised as there are no material temporary differences.
For management purposes, the Fund is managed by 2 main portfolios, namely (1) equitysecurities and (2) fixed income instruments. Each segment engages in separate business activitiesand the operating results are regularly reviewed by the Manager, External Investment Managerand the Fund's Investment Committee. The External Investment Manager and the FundInvestment Committee jointly assumes the role of chief operation decision maker, forperformance assessment purposes and to make decision about resources allocated to eachinvestment segment.
No major judgements have been made by the Manager in applying the Fund's accountingpolicies. There are no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimationuncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment tothe carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within next year.

The Fund uses the following level of fair value hierarchy for determining and disclosing thefair value of financial instruments carried at fair value in the statement of financial position:
Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable forthe asset or liability either directly or indirectly
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data
The Fund’s financial assets at FVTPL and AFS financial assets are carried at fair value. Thefair values of these financial assets were determined using prices in active markets foridentical assets.
Quoted equity instrumentsFair value is determined directly by reference to their published market bid prices on therelevant stock exchanges at the reporting date.
Unquoted fixed income securitiesThe published market prices for RM-denominated unquoted bonds are based on informationprovided by Bond Pricing Agency Malaysia Sdn Bhd.

20. FINANCIAL RISK AND MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
(i) Market Risk
(a) Equity Price Risk
The Fund maintains investment portfolios in a variety of quoted and unquoted financial instruments asdictated by its Trust Deed and investment management strategy.
The Fund is exposed to a variety of risks including market risk (which includes interest rate risk, equityprice risk and currency risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk. Whilst these are the most important types offinancial risks inherent in each type of financial instruments, the Manager and the Trustee would like tohighlight that this list does not purport to constitute an exhaustive list of all the risks inherent in aninvestment in the Fund.
The Fund’s objective in managing risk is the creation and protection of unitholders’ value. Risk isinherent in the Fund’s activities, but it is managed through a process of ongoing identification,measurement and monitoring of risks. Financial risk management is also carried out through soundinternal control systems and adherence to the investment restrictions as stipulated in the Trust Deed, theSecurities Commission’s Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds and the Capital Market and Services Act,2007.
Equity price risk is the risk of unfavourable changes in the fair value of equities as the resultof changes in the levels of equity indices and the value of individual shares. The equityprice risk exposure arises from the Fund’s investments in equity securities.
The Fund's principal exposure to market risk arises primarily due to changes or developments inthe market environment and typically includes changes in regulations, politics and the economyof the country. Market risk is also influenced by global economics and geopolitical developments.The Fund seeks to diversify away some of this risk by investing into different sectors to mitigaterisk exposure to any single asset class.
The Fund’s market risk is affected primarily due to changes in market prices, interest rates andforeign curency exchange rates.
Financial instruments not carried at fair value comprise financial assets and financialliabilities classified as loans and receivables and financial liabilities at amortised costrespectively.The carrying amount of these financial instruments at the end of the financialyear approximated their fair values due to their short term to maturity.

This risk refers to the effect of interest rate changes on the market value of fixed incomesecurities and deposits with financial institutions. In the event of rising interest rates, thereturn on deposits with financial institutions will rise while prices of bond will decrease andvice versa, thus affecting the net asset value of the Fund. This risk will be minimized via themanagement of the duration structure of the portfolio of bond and deposits with financialinstitutions.

(ii) Credit Risk
or loss and equity
Effect on profit
The Fund’s principal exposure to credit risk arises primarily due to changes in the financial
conditions of companies issuing debt securities and stockbroking companies, which may affect
their creditworthiness. This in turn may lead to default in the payment. Such events can lead to
loss of capital or delayed or reduced income for the Fund resulting in a reduction in the Fund’s
asset value and thus unit price. This risk is mitigated by vigorous credit analysis and
diversification of the bond portfolio of the Fund and to engage different stockbroking companies
with good reputation.
The Fund is exposed to currency risk primarily through its investment in overseas quotedequities that are denominated in foreign currencies. The Fund's foreign currency exposureprofile of its investment in quoted equities has been disclosed under Note 8.
A 10% strenghtening or weakening of the RM against the following foreign currencies as atthe end of the financial year would have decreased or increased respectively the profit orloss and equity of the Fund by the amount shown below. This analysis assumes all othervariables are held constant.

This risk occurs in thinly traded or illiquid equity securities. Should the Fund need to sell arelatively large amount of such securities, the act itself may significantly depress the sellingprice. As the Fund is exposed to daily redemption of units, the risk is minimized by placing aprudent level of funds in short-term deposits and by investing in stocks whose liquidity isadjudged to be commensurate with the expected exposure level of the Funds.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONT'D.)

The key enhancements of MFRS 9 are :
New MFRSs and Amendments to MFRSs That Are In Issue But Not Yet Effective
• The new general hedge accounting requirements retain the three types of hedge accounting
mechanisms currently available in MFRS 139 i.e. fair value hedges, cash flow hedges and
hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation. MFRS 9 incorporates a new hedge accounting
model that aligns the hedge accounting more closely with an entity's risk management activities.
The new hedge accounting model has also expanded the scope of eligibility of hedge items and
hedging instruments respectively.
• In relation to the impairment of financial assets, MFRS 9 requires an expected credit loss
model, as opposed to an incurred credit loss model under MFRS 139. Under MFRS 9, it is no
longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised. Instead,
an entity always accounts for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses
at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.
• Under MFRS 9, all recognised financial assets are required to be subsequently measured at
either amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI") or fair value
through profit or loss ("FVTPL") on the basis of both an entity's business model for managing
the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. These
requirements improve and simplify the approach for classification and measurement of financial
assets as the numerous categories of financial assets under MFRS 139 had been replaced.
MFRS 9, Financial Instruments (IFRS 9 issued in July 2014)(Cont'd.)
• Most of the requirements in MFRS 139 for classification and measurement of financial
liabilities were carried forward unchanged to MFRS 9, except for the measurement of financial
liabilities designated as at FVTPL. Under MFRS 139, the entire amount of the change in the fair
value of the financial liability designated as FVTPL is presented in profit or loss. However,
MFRS 9 requires that the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is
attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive
income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability's own credit risk in other
comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss.
Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability's credit risk are not subsequently
reclassified to profit or loss.

MFRS 9, Financial Instruments (IFRS 9 issued in July 2014)(Cont'd.)
The initial application of MFRS 9 in the future may have an impact on the financial statements
of the Fund. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect until a
detailed review has been completed. The initial application of other new MFRSs and
amendments to MFRSs is not expected to have any significant impact on the financial
statements of the Fund.
New MFRSs and Amendments to MFRSs That Are In Issue But Not Yet Effective
Financial assets are classified as financial assets at FVTPL if they are held for trading orare designated as such by the Manager upon initial recognition. Financial assets held fortrading include Shariah-compliant securities and sukuk acquired principally for thepurpose of selling them in near term.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value atthe date of the statement of financial position. Changes in the fair value of those financialinstruments are recorded in "Net gain or loss on financial assets at FVTPL". Profitearned and dividend revenue elements of such instruments are recorded separately in"Profit income" and "Dividend income", respectively. Foreign exchange differences onfinancial assets at FVTPL are not recognised separately in profit or loss but included innet gains or net losses on changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTPL.
Financial assets are recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, theFund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instruments. Regular way ofpurchase and sale of investments in financial instruments are recognised on trade dates. Whenfinancial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus attributabletransaction cost, for investment not at fair value through profit or loss.
The Fund determines the classification of its financial assets at the initial recognition, and thecategories include financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-salefinancial assets and receivables.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the periods, presented inthese financial statements and have been applied consistently by the Fund, unless otherwise stated.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)
3.1 Financial Assets
(b) Available-for-sale ("AFS") financial assets
(c) Receivables
Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an activemarket are classified as receivables. The Fund includes short term receivables such asbalances due from broker, Manager and other receivables in the classification.Receivables are recognised initially at fair value including transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, receivables are measured at amortised cost usingeffective profit method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when thereceivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.
Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that requiredelivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention inthe market place concerned. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets arerecognised or derecognised on trade date, i.e. the date that the Fund commit to purchaseor sell the asset.
A financial asset is derecognised when the asset is disposed and the contractual right toreceive cash flows from the asset has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in itsentirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the considerationreceived and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in othercomprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.
Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or liability settled,between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction. The fair value forfinancial instruments traded in active markets at the reporting date is based on theirquoted price or binding dealer price quotations, without deduction for transaction costs.
AFS financial assets are financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are notclassified as financial assets at FVTPL or receivables.
After initial recognition, AFS financial assets are measured at fair value. Gains or losseson changes in fair value of the AFS financial assets are recognised in othercomprehensive income, except that impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losseson monetary instruments, dividend income and profit income calculated using effectiveprofit method are recognised in profit or loss.
The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income isreclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment when thefinancial asset is derecognised. Profit income calculated using the effective profit methodis recognised in profit or loss. Dividends on an AFS Shariah-compliant equity instrumentare recognised in profit or loss when the Fund's right to receive payment is established.

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

3.3 Classification of Realised and Unrealised Gain and Losses
3.4 Financial Liabilities
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 asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal
is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangementsentered into and the definition of a financial liability.
Financial liabilities, within the scope of MFRS 139, are recognised in the statement of financialposition when, and only when, the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of thefinancial instrument. Financial liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities.
The Fund's financial liabilities which include amount due to broker, Manager and otherpayables are recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs andsubsequently measured at the amortised cost using effective profit method.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished.Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, andthrough the amortisation process.
Unrealised gains and losses comprise changes in fair value of financial instruments for theperiod from reversal of prior period's unrealised gains and losses for financial instrumentswhich were realised (i.e. sold, redeemed or matured) during the reporting period.
Realised gains and losses on disposals of financial instruments classified as part of "at fair valuethrough profit or loss" are calculated using weighted average method. They represent thedifference between an instrument's initial carrying amount and disposal amount, or cashpayment or receipts made of Shariah-compliant derivative contracts (excluding payments orreceipts on collateral margin accounts for such investments).

3.8 Cash and Cash Equivalents
3.9 Income Recognition
Income is recognised to the extent that is probable that the economic benefits will flow to theFund and the income can be reliably measured. Income is measured at fair value ofconsideration received or receivable.
Dividend income is recognised when the Fund's right to receive payment is established.
Profit income, which includes the accretion of discount and amortisation of premium on sukuk,is recognised using effective profit method.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and Islamic deposits with financial institutionswhich have insignificant risk of changes in value.
Income distributions are at the discretion of the Manager. Income distribution to the Fund'sunitholders is accounted for as a deduction from realised reserves except where distribution issourced out of distribution equalisation which is accounted for as deduction from unitholders'capital.
The unitholders' contributions to the Fund meet the definition of puttable instruments classifiedas equity instruments under MFRS 132.
Distribution equalisation represents the average distributable amount included in the creationand cancellation prices of units. This amount is either refunded to unitholders by way ofdistribution and/or adjusted accordingly when units are cancelled.
The financial statements of the Fund are measured using the currency of the primary economicenvironment in which the Fund operates ("the functional currency"). The financial statementsare presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM), which is also the Fund's functional currency.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with MFRS and IFRS requires the use ofcertain accounting estimates and exercise of judgements. Estimates and judgements arecontinually evaluated and are based on past experience, reasonable expectations of futureevents and other factors.
No major judgements have been made by the Manager in applying the Fund's accountingpolicies. There are no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources ofestimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have significant risk of causing materialadjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within next year.
The Manager is entitled to an annual management fee of 1.5% p.a. of net asset value of the Fund(before deducting the Manager's and Trustee's fees for the day) calculated and accrued on a dailybasis.
The Trustee is entitled to a fee of 0.07% p.a. based on net asset value of the Fund (before deductingthe Manager's and Trustee's fees for the day) calculated and accrued on a daily basis, subject to aminimum of RM18,000 p.a.
For management purposes, the Fund is managed by 2 main portfolios, namely (1) Shariah-compliant equity securities and (2) sukuk and Islamic deposits. Each segment engages inseparate business activities and the operating results are regularly reviewed by the Manager,External Investment Manager and the Fund's Investment Committee. The External InvestmentManager and the Fund Investment Committee jointly assumes the role of chief operationdecision maker, for performance assessment purposes and to make decision about resourcesallocated to each investment segment.
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from orpaid to the tax authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those thatare enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Current taxes are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to itemsrecognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
No deferred tax is recognised as there are no material temporary differences.

Expenses of the Fund are not considered part of the performance of any operating segment. Thefollowing table provides a reconciliation between the net reportable segment income and operatingprofits.
The Fund’s financial assets and financial liabilities are measured on an ongoing basis at eitherfair value or at amortised cost based on their respective classification. The significantaccounting policies in Note 3 describe how the classes of financial instruments are measured,and how income and expenses, including fair value gains and losses, are recognised.

21. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTD.)
(a) Classification of financial instruments (Contd.)
The Fund uses the following level of fair value hierarchy for determining and disclosingthe fair value of financial instruments carried at fair value in the statement of financialposition :
Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable forthe asset or liability either directly or indirectly
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data
The Fund’s financial assets at FVTPL and AFS financial assets are carried at fair value.The fair values of these financial assets were determined using prices in active marketsfor identical assets.
Quoted Shariah-compliant equity instrumentsFair value is determined directly by reference to their published market bid price on BursaMalaysia at the reporting date.
Unquoted sukukThe published market prices for RM-denominated unquoted sukuk are based oninformation provided by Bond Pricing Agency Malaysia Sdn Bhd.

22. FINANCIAL RISK AND MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
(i) Market Risk
(a) Equity Price Risk
The Fund maintains investment portfolios in a variety of quoted and unquoted financial instrumentsas dictated by its Deed and investment management strategy.
The Fund is exposed to a variety of risks including market risk (which includes interest rate risk andequity price risk), credit risk, stock specific risk, liquidity risk and reclassification of Shariah statusrisk. Whilst these are the most important types of financial risks inherent in each type of financialinstruments, the Manager and the Trustee would like to highlight that this list does not purport toconstitute an exhaustive list of all the risks inherent in an investment in the Fund.
The Fund’s objective in managing risk is the creation and protection of unitholders’ value. Risk isinherent in the Fund’s activities, but it is managed through a process of ongoing identification,measurement and monitoring of risks. Financial risk management is also carried out through soundinternal control systems and adherence to the investment restrictions as stipulated in the Trust Deed,the Securities Commission’s Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds and the Capital Market and ServicesAct, 2007.
Equity price risk is the adverse changes in the fair value of Shariah-compliant equities asa result of changes in the levels of Shariah-compliant equity indices and the value ofindividual Shariah-compliant shares. The equity price risk exposure arises from theFund’s investments in quoted Shariah-compliant equity securities.
The Fund's principal exposure to market risk arises primarily due to changes or developments inthe market environment and typically includes changes in regulations, politics and the economyof the country. Market risk is also influenced by global economics and geopoliticaldevelopments. The Fund seeks to diversify away some of this risk by investing into differentsectors to mitigate risk exposure to any single asset class.
The Fund’s market risk is affected primarily due to changes in market prices and interest rates.
Financial instruments not carried at fair value comprise financial assets and financialliabilities classified as receivables and financial liabilities at amortised cost respectively.The carrying amount of these financial instruments at the end of the financial yearapproximated their fair values due to their short term to maturity.

This risk refers to the effect of interest rate changes on the valuation for sukuk andIslamic deposits with financial institutions. In the event of rising interest rates, the returnon Islamic deposits with financial institutions will rise while valuation for sukuk willdecrease and vice versa, thus affecting the net asset value of the Fund. This risk will beminimized via the management of the duration structure of the portfolio of sukuk andIslamic deposits with financial institutions.
Interest rate is a general economic indicator that will have an impact on the managementof fund regardless of whether it is a Shariah-compliant fund or otherwise. It does not inany way suggest that this fund will invest in conventional financial instruments. Allinvestments carried out for this fund are in accordance with requirement of the Shariah.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the profit or loss and equity of theFund to a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables heldconstant:
The assumed movement in basis points for interest rate sensitivity analysis is based onthe currently observable market environment.

22. FINANCIAL RISK AND MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTD.)
The Fund’s principal exposure to credit risk arises primarily due to changes in the financialconditions of companies issuing sukuk, which may affect their creditworthiness. This in turnmay lead to default in the payment of principal and profit. Such events can lead to loss ofcapital or delayed or reduced income for the Fund resulting in a reduction in the Fund’s assetvalue and thus unit price. This risk is mitigated by vigorous credit analysis and diversification ofthe sukuk portfolio of the Fund.
As at the end of the financial year, the Fund only invested in a relatively stable sukuk issued bythe Government of Malaysia.
This risk occurs in thinly traded or illiquid Shariah-compliant securities. Should the Fund needto sell a relatively large amount of such securities, the act itself may significantly depress theselling price. As the Fund is exposed to daily redemption of units, the risk is minimized byplacing a prudent level of funds in short-term Islamic deposits and by investing in Shariah-compliant stocks whose liquidity is adjudged to be commensurate with the expected exposurelevel of the Fund.
The following table summarises the maturity profile of the Fund’s financial liabilities and thecorresponding assets available to meet commitments associated with those financial liabilitiesand redemption by unitholders.

The key enhancements of MFRS 9 are :
MFRS 9, Financial Instruments (IFRS 9 issued in July 2014)
The Standard replaces earlier versions of MFRS 9 and introduces a package of improvements
which includes a classification and measurement model, a single forward-looking ‘expected loss’
impairment model and a substantially-reformed approach to hedge accounting.
• Under MFRS 9, all recognised financial assets are required to be subsequently measured at
either amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI") or fair value
through profit or loss ("FVTPL") on the basis of both an entity's business model for managing the
financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. These
requirements improve and simplify the approach for classification and measurement of financial
assets as the numerous categories of financial assets under MFRS 139 had been replaced.
• Most of the requirements in MFRS 139 for classification and measurement of financial
liabilities were carried forward unchanged to MFRS 9, except for the measurement of financial
liabilities designated as at FVTPL. Under MFRS 139, the entire amount of the change in the fair
value of the financial liability designated as FVTPL is presented in profit or loss. However,
MFRS 9 requires that the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is
attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive
income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability's own credit risk in other
comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss.
Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability's credit risk are not subsequently
reclassified to profit or loss.
The Fund will apply the above new MFRSs and amendments to MFRSs that are applicable once
they become effective. The main features of the new applicable standard is summarised below :-

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 instruments. Regular way of
purchase and sale of investments in financial instruments are recognised on trade dates. When
financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus attributable
transaction cost, for investment not at fair value through profit or loss.
The Fund determines the classification of its financial assets at the initial recognition, and the
categories include financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial
assets and loans and receivables.
Financial assets are classified as financial assets at FVTPL if they are held for trading or are
designated as such by the Manager upon initial recognition. Financial assets held for trading
include securities and fixed income securities acquired principally for the purpose of selling
them in near term.
The initial application of MFRS 9 in the future may have an impact on the financial statements of
the Fund. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect until a
detailed review has been completed. The initial application of other new MFRSs and
amendments to MFRSs is not expected to have any significant impact on the financial statements
of the Fund.
MFRS 9, Financial Instruments (IFRS 9 issued in July 2014) [cont'd.]
• In relation to the impairment of financial assets, MFRS 9 requires an expected credit loss
model, as opposed to an incurred credit loss model under MFRS 139. Under MFRS 9, it is no
longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised. Instead,
an entity always accounts for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses
at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.
• The new general hedge accounting requirements retain the three types of hedge accounting
mechanisms currently available in MFRS 139 i.e. fair value hedges, cash flow hedges and hedges
of a net investment in a foreign operation. MFRS 9 incorporates a new hedge accounting model
that aligns the hedge accounting more closely with an entity's risk management activities. The
new hedge accounting model has also expanded the scope of eligibility of hedge items and
hedging instruments respectively.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D.)
3.1 Financial Assets (Cont'd.)
(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") [Cont'd.]
(b) Available-for-sale ("AFS") financial assets
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the
date of the statement of financial position. Changes in the fair value of those financial
instruments are recorded in "Net gain or loss on financial assets at FVTPL". Interest earned
and dividend revenue elements of such instruments are recorded separately in "Interest
income" and "Dividend income", respectively. Foreign exchange differences on financial
assets at FVTPL are not recognised separately in profit or loss but included in net gains or net
losses on changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTPL.
AFS financial assets are financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are not
classified as financial assets at FVTPL or loans and receivables.
After initial recognition, AFS financial assets are measured at fair value. Gains or losses from
changes in fair value of the AFS financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive
income, except that impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary
instruments, dividend income and interest calculated using effective interest method are
recognised in profit or loss.
The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is
reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment when the financial
asset is derecognised. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method is
recognised in profit or loss. Dividends on an AFS equity instrument are recognised in profit
or loss when the Fund's right to receive payment is established.
Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or liability settled, between
knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction. The fair value for financial
instruments traded in active markets at the reporting date is based on their quoted price or
binding dealer price quotations, without deduction for transaction costs.
A financial asset is derecognised when the asset is disposed and the contractual right to
receive cash flows from the asset has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in its
entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration
received and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive
income is recognised in profit or loss.
Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery
of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the market
place concerned. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised or
derecognised on trade date, i.e. the date that the Fund commits to purchase or sell the asset.

3.1 Financial Assets (Contd.)
(c) Loans and receivables
3.2 Impairment of Financial Assets
(a) AFS financial assets
(b) Trade and other receivables and other financial assets carried at amortised cost
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.
Impairment losses on AFS equity investments are not reversed in profit or loss in the
subsequent period. Increase in fair value, if any, subsequent to impairment loss is recognised
in other comprehensive income. For AFS debt investments, impairment losses are
subsequently reversed in profit or loss, up to the amount previously recognised as impairment
loss, if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to an event
occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss in profit or loss.
If an AFS asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any
principal payment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss
previously recognised in profit or loss, is transferred from equity to profit or loss.
The Fund assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial
asset is impaired.
Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market
are classified as loans and receivables. The Fund includes short term receivables such as
balances due from broker, Manager and other receivables in the classification. Loans and
receivables are recognised initially at fair value including transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using
effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans
and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.
Significant or prolonged decline in fair value below cost, weaken fundamental, significant
financial difficulties of the issuer or obligor, and the disappearance of an active trading
market are considerations to determine whether there is objective evidence that investment
securities classified as AFS financial assets are impaired. At end of each financial year, the
Manager would receive impairment proposal from the Fund's external investment manager, if
any financial assets of the Fund, in their professional opinion, warrant an impairment
exercise.

3.3 Classification of Realised and Unrealised Gain and Losses
3.4 Financial Liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished. Gains
and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the
amortisation process.
The Fund's financial liabilities which include trade and other payables are recognised initially at
fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at the amortised
cost using effective interest method.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all
financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the amount is reduced through
the use of an allowance account. When a trade 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 asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is
recognised in profit or loss.
Unrealised gain and losses comprise changes in fair value of financial instruments for the period
from reversal of prior period's unrealised gain and losses for financial instruments which were
realised (i.e. sold, redeemed or matured) during the reporting period.
Realised gains and losses on disposals of financial instruments classified as part of "at fair value
through profit or loss" are calculated using weighted average method. They represent the
difference between an instrument's initial carrying amount and disposal amount, or cash
payment or receipts made of derivative contracts (excluding payments or receipts on collateral
margin accounts for such investments).
Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements
entered into and the definition of a financial liability.
Financial liabilities, within the scope of MFRS 139, are recognised in the statement of financial
position when, only when, the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial
instrument. Financial liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities.

3.5 Foreign Currencies
3.6 Unitholders' Capital
3.7 Income Distribution
3.8 Cash and Cash Equivalents
3.9 Income Recognition
In preparing the financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the Fund's functional
currency (foreign currencies) are recorded in the functional currency using the exchange rates
prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, foreign currency
monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the end of the
reporting period. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are
translated using exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
Exchange differences arising from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the
translation of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss.
Exchange differences arising from the translation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are
included in profit or loss for the period except for the differences arising on the translation of non-
monetary items in respect of which gains or losses are recognised directly in equity. Exchange
differences arising from such non-monetary items are recognised directly to equity.
The unitholders' contributions to the Fund meet the definition of puttable instruments classified
as equity instruments under MFRS 132.
Distribution equalisation represents the average distributable amount 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 cancelled.
Income is recognised to the extent that is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the
Fund and the income can be reliably measured. Income is measured at fair value of consideration
received or receivable.
Income distributions are at the discretion of the Manager. Income distribution to the Fund's
unitholders is accounted for as a deduction from realised reserves except where distribution is
sourced out of distribution equalisation which is accounted for as deduction from unitholders'
capital.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and deposits with financial institutions which
have insignificant risk of changes in value.
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.

4. MANAGER'S FEE
Dividend income is recognised when the Fund's right to receive payment is established.
Interest income, which includes the accretion of discount and amortisation of premium on fixed
income securities, is recognised using effective interest method.
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or
paid to the tax authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that
are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
For management purposes, the Fund is managed by 2 main portfolios, namely (1) equity
securities and (2) fixed income instruments. Each segment engages in separate business activities
and the operating results are regularly reviewed by the Manager, External Investment Manager
and the Fund's Investment Committee. The External Investment Manager and the Fund
Investment Committee jointly assumes the role of chief operation decision maker, for
performance assessment purposes and to make decision about resources allocated to each
investment segment.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with MFRS and IFRS requires the use of
certain accounting estimates and exercise of judgements. Estimates and judgements are
continually evaluated and are based on past experience, reasonable expectations of future events
and other factors.
Current taxes are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to items
recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

uncertainty at the reporting date, that have significant risk of causing material adjustment to the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within next year.
