1.0 Manager’s Report

Dear Unitholders, We are pleased to present the Manager’s report of BIMB i Dividend Fund for the

financial year ended 31 October 2017.

1.1 Fund Name/ Fund Type/ Fund Category/ Fund Investment Objective/ Fund

Performance Benchmark/ Fund Distribution Policy

Fund Name BIMB i Dividend Fund

Fund Type Income and Growth

Fund

Category Equity

Fund Investment Objective

This Fund aims to primarily provide investors with a combination of steady and recurring income and capital growth in the medium to long term* through investments in Shariah-compliant dividend yielding equities, which historically

offered solid performance and is generally less volatile when compared to the broader equity market. Note: Any material change to the investment objective of the Fund

would require Unit Holders’ approval.

Fund Performance Benchmark

The Fund will be measured against an absolute return benchmark of 6% per annum. This is not a guaranteed return and it is only a measurement of the Fund’s performance. The

Fund may or may not achieve 6% per annum growth rate in any particular financial year but targets to achieve this growth rate through long term.

Fund Distribution

Policy

The Manager will declare annual distributions (subject to the

availability of income).

*“medium to long term” in this context refers to three (3) years or more.

1.2 Performance for the Financial Year Ended 31 October 2017

1.2.1 Performance review for BIMB i Dividend Fund

For the financial year under review, BIMB i Dividend Fund (the Fund) declared a

net income distribution of 1.54 sen per unit, equivalent to a yield of 7.54% per

annum. The selected performance benchmark for this Fund is an absolute return

benchmark of 6.00% per annum. The Fund registered a return of 9.50% as

compared to its Benchmark’s return of 6.00%. For the financial year under review,

the FTSE Bursa Malaysia EMAS Shariah Index registered a gain of 5.64% as

foreign investors returned to Malaysia to increase their holdings in local equities.

Our strategy has consistently remained to focus on investing in stocks with

consistent track record of dividend distribution and potential capital growth over

medium to long term.

During the financial year ended 31 October 2017, the Fund was able to deliver

higher than its historical dividend yield as better market conditions and stronger

than expected GDP growth for Malaysia had help shore up local stocks’ share

price performance in 2017. Hence, for the financial year under review, the Fund

has met its objectives of providing investors with a steady annual income stream

and capital growth through investments in dividend yielding equities that

historically tends to offer good returns during equity market recovery periods. As at

31 October 2017, the fund had 97.40% exposure to equities and continues to be

managed in line with its stated objective by investing in dividend yielding equities.

For the year ended 31 October 2017, there were no significant changes to the

state of affairs of the Fund and no circumstances that materially affect the interest

of Unit Holders that have taken place up to the date of this Manager’s Report.

1.3 Economic and Market Review

Economy a) Global

United States (US) Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 3.3% in the

third quarter of 2017 as compared to 3.1% growth in the second quarter of

2017 and 1.2% in the first quarter of 2017. US inflation rate remains healthy

at 2.0% in October 2017 while US unemployment rate continues to improve

to 4.1% in October 2017 as compared to 4.6% in November 2016. Moving

forward, the Fed intends to execute more potential rate hikes and

quantitative tightening for the US in the near term.

The Euro zone economy grew by 0.6% in the third quarter of 2017 as

compared to 0.7% in the second quarter 2017 and 0.6% in the first quarter

of 2017. The Euro zone economic recovery has gained momentum while

unemployment has fallen against a backdrop of ultra-low interest rates

which are among the measures implemented by the European Central

Bank (ECB) to boost economic activity.

The Chinese economy grew by 6.8% for the third quarter of 2017, as

compared to 6.9% in the second quarter of 2017 following improved

industrial output and private consumption, aided by a robust property

market and recovery in the exports sector. Overall, major global economies

appear to be recovering in tandem while market sentiment for the emerging

markets improved during the period under review.

b) Local

The Malaysian economy grew faster at 6.2% in the third quarter of 2017 as

compared to 5.8% in the second quarter 2017 and 5.6% in the first quarter

2017. The stronger GDP growth for the period was due to improvements in

private consumption and exports. Malaysia’s inflation on the other hand rose

to 3.7% in October 2017, up from 1.8% in November 2016 driven by higher

oil prices and stronger GDP performance.

Despite the higher inflationary pressure faced by the local economy, Bank

Negara Malaysia’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) had decided to

maintain the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 3.00% during its September

meeting to accommodate and support growth prospect for the country.

Bank Negara’s international reserve rose to USD 101.5 billion as at 31

October 2017 as compared to USD 96.4 billion in November 2016 that is

sufficient to finance 7.6 months of retained imports and is 1.1 times the

short-term external debt.

Market Review

Equity

FTSE Bursa Malaysia EMAS Shariah Index (“FBM Shariah”) commenced the year

under review at 12,384.01 points and declined to 11,845.46 points on 30

November 2016. The FBM Shariah subsequently rose to 13,126.04 on 16 May

2017 and closed at 13,082.72 points on 31 October 2017. For the year under

review, the FBM Shariah was up 698.71 points or 5.64% while the FBM KLCI was

up by 75.46 points or 4.51% to close at 1,747.92 points. Among the key factors

that contributed to the movement of the index are highlighted below:

In November 2016, Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election

caught the general markets off-guard as investors flock to safe heaven assets

like gold, bond and the Japanese yen, perceiving Trump’s administration

would bring uncertainty to the markets. The Asian markets reacted with a

sharp selldown, however subsequently, global investors rebalanced their

portfolio to take advantage of the perceived stronger US growth and higher

US bond yields.

In April 2017, a historic meeting between US President Donald Trump and

China’s leader Xi Jinping signaled more understanding between the two

countries after a summit held in Florida, USA and appears to have

successfully defused a potential trade war between the world’s two largest

economies. A stabilizing US-China trade relationship will allow the US Federal

Reserve to conduct its third rate hike of the year by 25bps to 1.50% on the

back of stronger economic fundamentals in the US.

In August 2017, the North Korea and US dispute escalated to new heights

post of North Korea’s missile testing exercise that had prompted US President

Trump to issue a retaliation warning. However, markets were quick to

discount the negative news and sentiment recovered subsequently as the US

Federal Reserve announced of its quantitative tightening measures. The Fed

intends to retire USD3.6 trillion or 50% of its Quantitative easing money in the

market in three years time along with more rate hikes in the short to medium

term horizon.

1.4 Market Outlook and Strategy

For the rest of 2017, the equity market is expected to be volatile. External

factors may likely influence the domestic market sentiment, which includes

the OPEC and Non-OPEC commitment to stabilize the oil glut, US President

Trump’s stance on North Korea’s nuclear ambition and potential military

strike. With potential interest on selective sector to support the domestic

market, the local bourse should be able to withstand external shocks given

the ample domestic liquidity and buying interest from foreign and local

institutional investors.

While the global economy continues to expand at a moderate pace, there has

been increasing divergence in the growth momentum among the major

economies. For most of Asia, growth is supported by the continued expansion

of domestic demand. Looking ahead, the global economy is expected to

continue on a moderate recovery path.

For Malaysia, the resilience of domestic consumption remains the support for

growth. With higher spending on infrastructure projects underway, higher

public sector wages adjustments, improved outlook for crude palm oil

production volume and a rebound in government consumption and

expenditure will help to improve corporate earnings and consumer spending

for the year.

1.3 Ekonomi dan Kajian Pasaran

Ekonomi a) Global

Keluaran Dalam Negara Kasar (KDNK) Amerika Syarikat (AS)

berkembang sebanyak 3.3% pada suku ketiga 2017 berbanding

pertumbuhan 3.1% pada suku kedua 2017 dan 1.2% pada suku

pertama 2017. Kadar inflasi AS kekal sihat iaitu sekitar 2.0% pada

Oktober 2017 sementara kadar pengangguran AS terus menurun

kepada 4.1% pada Oktober 2017 daripada 4.6% pada November 2016.

Bergerak kehadapan, pihak Rizab Persekutuan AS bercadang untuk

menaikan kadar faedah dan pengetatan kuantitatif di AS dalam tempoh

terdekat.

Ekonomi zon Euro berkembang sebanyak 0.6% pada suku ketiga 2017

berbanding 0.7% pada suku kedua 2017 dan 0.6% pada suku pertama

2017. Pemulihan ekonomi zon Euro menyaksikan berlakunya

peningkatan momentum dengan kadar pengangguran telah menurun di

sebalik kejatuhan kadar faedah yang teramat rendah, iaitu di antara

langkah-langkah yang telah dilaksanakan oleh Bank Pusat Eropah

(ECB) untuk meningkatkan aktiviti ekonomi.

Ekonomi China berkembang sebanyak 6.8% pada suku ketiga 2017

berbanding 6.9% pada suku pertama 2017 berikutan peningkatan

dalam pengeluaran perindustrian dan penggunaan swasta yang

dibantu oleh pasaran hartanah yang kukuh dan pemulihan sektor

eksport. Secara keseluruhan, ekonomi utama dunia kelihatan semakin

pulih dengan kadar yang sejajar, dan sentimen untuk prestasi pasaran

saham untuk pasaran-pasaran baru telah meningkat pada tempoh

dalam kajian.

b) Dalam Negara

Ekonomi Malaysia berkembang lebih pantas sebanyak 6.2% pada suku

ketiga 2017 berbanding 5.8% pada suku kedua 2017 dan 5.6% pada

suku pertama 2017. KDNK yang lebih kukuh dalam tempoh berkenaan

adalah hasil peningkatan dalam penggunaan swasta dan eksport.

Kadar inflasi Malaysia pada Oktobar 2017 meningkat kepada 3.7%

daripada 1.8% pada November 2016, didorong oleh kenaikan harga

minyak dan prestasi pertumbuhan KDNK yang lebih kukuh.

Meskipun terdapat tekanan inflasi yang lebih tinggi yang dihadapi oleh

ekonomi tempatan, Jawatankuasa Dasar Monetari Bank Negara

Malaysia (MPC) mengekalkan Kadar Dasar Semalaman (OPR) pada

paras 3.00% dalam mesyuaratnya yang diadakan pada September

bagi menampung dan menyokong prospek pertumbuhan negara. Rizab

antarabangsa Bank Negara meningkat kepada AS$101.5 bilion setakat

pada 31 Oktober 2017 berbanding AS$96.4 bilion pada November

2016 yang memadai untuk membiayai 7.6 bulan import tertangguh dan

mewakili 1.1 kali hutang jangka pendek luar negara.

Kajian Pasaran

Ekuiti

Indeks Syariah EMAS FTSE Bursa Malaysia (Syariah FBM) memasuki tempoh

dalam kajian pada paras 12,384.01 mata dan jatuh ke paras terendah 11,845.46

mata pada 30 November 2016. Indeks Syariah FBM kemudianya naik mencecah

ke paras tertinggi 13,126.04 mata pada 16 Mei 2017 dan ditutup pada paras

13,082.72 mata pada 31 Oktober 2017. Bagi tahun dalam kajian, FBM Syariah

meningkat sebanyak 698.71 mata atau 5.64% manakala FBM KLCI naik sebanyak

75.46 mata atau 4.51% untuk ditutup pada paras 1,747.92 mata. Antara faktor-

faktor utama yang menyumbang kepada pergerakan indeks adalah seperti berikut:

Pada November 2016, kemenangan Donald Trump dalam pilihan raya

Presiden AS adalah di luar jangkaan dan mengejutkan pasaran amnya

apabila para pelabur berpusu-pusu mencari aset pelaburan yang selamat

seperti emas, bon dan yen Jepun kerana mempercayai bahawa pentadbiran

Trump akan menyebabkan berlakunya ketidaktentuan dalam pasaran.

Pasaran Asia pula mengalami kegiatan jualan secara besar-besaran sebelum

para pelabur sejagat kemudiannya mengimbangi semula portfolio mereka

untuk mengambil faedah daripada pertumbuhan lebih kukuh dalam ekonomi

AS dan kadar hasil bon AS yang lebih tinggi.

19

Pada April 2017, pertemuan bersejarah antara Presiden AS Donald Trump

dan pemimpin China, Xi Jinping telah menunjukkan persefahaman yang

lebih di antara kedua-dua negara itu selepas sidang kemuncak diadakan

di Florida, AS yang mungkin dapat melenyapkan potensi berlakunya

perang perdagangan antara dua kuasa ekonomi terbesar dunia. Hubungan

perdagangan AS-China yang stabil juga telah membolehkan Rizab

Persekutuan AS menaikkan kadar faedah ketiga pada tahun ini sebanyak

25bps kepada 1.50% berasaskan fundamental ekonomi yang lebih kukuh

dalam ekonomi AS.

Pada Ogos 2017, pertikaian antara Korea Utara dengan AS semakin

memuncak selepas Korea Utara melakukan ujian peluru berpandu

sehingga Presiden Trump mengeluarkan amaran untuk bertindak balas.

Walau bagaimanapun, pasaran bertindak cepat untuk tidak mengendahkan

berita buruk tersebut dan sentimen kemudiannya pulih berikutan

pengumuman Rizab Persekutuan Amerika Syarikat akan memulakan

langkah pengetatan kuantitatifnya. Rizab Persekutuan Amerika Syarikat

bercadang untuk menghentikan program kelonggaran kuantitatif sebanyak

AS$3.6 trilion atau 50% daripada wangnya dalam pasaran bagi tempoh

tiga tahun akan datang selain melakukan lebih banyak kenaikan kadar

faedah dalam jangka masa pendek ke sederhana.

1.4 Tinjauan Pasaran dan Strategi

Untuk baki tahun 2017, pasaran ekuiti dijangka akan terus berada dalam

keadaan tidak menentu. Faktor luaran berkemungkinan mempengaruhi

sentimen pasaran domestik termasuklah komitmen negara-negara

anggota OPEC dan bukan OPEC untuk menstabilkan pasaran minyak

yang mengalami lebihan pengeluaran, pendirian Presiden Trump terhadap

cita-cita nuklear Korea Utara dan kemungkinan tindakan ketenteraan.

Dengan potensi minat terhadap sektor terpilih untuk menyokong pasaran

domestik, bursa tempatan seharusnya berupaya menahan kejutan luaran

memandangkan terdapat mudah tunai yang mencukupi dalam negara dan

minat belian daripada para pelabur institusi asing dan tempatan.

Ketika ekonomi global terus berkembang pada kadar yang sederhana,

pencapahan didapati meningkat dalam momentum pertumbuhan

dikalangan kuasa-kuasa ekonomi yang utama. Bagi sebahagian besar

negara Asia, pertumbuhan ekonomi disokong oleh pengembangan

permintaan domestik yang berterusan. Melangkah ke hadapan, ekonomi

global dijangka akan terus berada pada landasan pemulihan yang

sederhana.

20

Pengukuhan penggunaan domestik kekal menyokong pertumbuhan

ekonomi Malaysia. Dengan jumlah perbelanjaan lebih besar diperuntukkan

kepada projek-projek infrastruktur yang sedang dijalankan, gaji sektor

awam yang lebih tinggi, tinjauan jumlah pengeluaran minyak sawit mentah

yang bertambah baik dan terdapat lonjakan dalam penggunaan dan

perbelanjaan kerajaan akan membantu menambah baik pendapatan

korporat dan perbelanjaan pengguna pada tahun ini.

5.0 Independent Auditors’ Report

Independent Auditors’ Report to the Unitholders of BIMB i Dividend Fund

(Established in Malaysia)

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of BIMB i Dividend Fund (“the Fund”),

which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 October 2017, and the

statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes

in net asset value and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the

financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, as set

out on pages 31 to 58.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of

the financial position of the Fund as at 31 October 2017, and of its financial

performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with

Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting

Standards and Securities Commission’s Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds in

Malaysia.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in

Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those

standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of

the Financial Statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence

we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence and Other Ethical Responsibilities

We are independent of the Fund in accordance with the By-Laws (on Professional

Ethics, Conduct and Practice) of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (“By-

Laws”) and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of

Ethics for Professional Accountants (“IESBA Code”), and we have fulfilled our

other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the By-Laws and the IESBA Code.

28

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors’ Report

Thereon

The Manager of the Fund is responsible for the other information. The other

information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not

include the financial statements of the Fund and our auditors’ report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements of the Fund does not cover the annual

report and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements of the Fund, our

responsibility is to read the annual report and, in doing so, consider whether

annual report is materially inconsistent with the financial statements of the Fund or

our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially

misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material

misstatement of the annual report, we are required to report that fact. We have

nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Manager and Trustee for the Financial Statements

The Manager of the Fund is responsible for the preparation of financial statements

of the Fund that give a true and fair view in accordance with Malaysian Financial

Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and Securities

Commission’s Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds in Malaysia. The Manager is also

responsible for such internal control as the Manager determine is necessary to

enable the preparation of financial statements of the Fund that are free from

material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements of the Fund, the Manager is responsible for

assessing the ability of the Fund to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as

applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of

accounting unless the Manager either intend to liquidate the Fund or to cease

operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Trustee is responsible for ensuring that the Manager maintains proper

accounting and other records as necessary to enable true and fair presentations

of these financial statements.

29

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial

statements of the Fund as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether

due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an

audit conducted in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia

and International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material

misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are

considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be

expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these

financial statements.

As part of an audit conducted in accordance with approved standards on auditing

in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial

statements of the Fund, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform

audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is

sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not

detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one

resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional

omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to

design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for

the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s

internal control.

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the

reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by

the Manager.

Conclude on the appropriateness of the Manager’s use of the going concern

basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a

material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast

significant doubt on the ability of the Fund to continue as a going concern. If

we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw

attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial

statements of the Fund or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our

opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the

date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause

the Fund to cease to continue as a going concern.

30

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

(continued)

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial

statements of the Fund, including the disclosures, and whether the financial

statements of the Fund represent the underlying transactions and events in a

manner that gives a true and fair view.

We communicate with the Manager regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any

significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. Other matter

This report is made solely to the unitholders of the Fund, as a body, in accordance with Securities Commission’s Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds in Malaysia and for

no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility to any other person for the content of this report.

38

2. Basis of preparation (continued)

(b) Basis of measurement

The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis except as

disclosed in Note 3(a)(ii).

(c) Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is

the Fund’s functional currency.

(d) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with MFRSs requires

management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the

application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,

income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the

estimate is revised and in any future years affected.

There are no significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements

in applying accounting policies that have significant effect on the amounts

recognised in the financial statements.

3. Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the periods

presented in these financial statements, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Financial instruments

(i) Initial recognition and measurement

A financial instrument is recognised in the statement of financial position

when, and only when, the Fund becomes a party to the contractual

provisions of the instrument.

A financial instrument is recognised initially, at its fair value plus, in the

case of a financial instrument not at fair value through profit or loss,

transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of

the financial instrument.

(ii) Financial instrument categories and subsequent measurement

The Fund categorises financial instruments as follows:

39

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(a) Financial instruments (continued)

(ii) Financial instrument categories and subsequent measurement (continued)

Financial assets

(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Fair value through profit or loss category comprises financial assets

that are held for trading, or financial assets that are specifically

designated into this category upon initial recognition.

Financial assets categorised as fair value through profit or loss are

subsequently measured at their fair values with the gain or loss

recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

(b) Financing and receivables

Financing and receivables category are debt instruments that are not

quoted in an active market and these comprises of amount due from

stockbroker, Manager, other receivables, cash and cash equivalents

and short term investments.

Financial assets categorised as financing and receivables are

subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective profit

method.

All financial assets except for those measured at fair value through profit

or loss, are subject to review for impairment, Note 3(d).

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost comprises of amount due

to stockbroker, Manager, other payables and distribution payable.

(iii) Derecognition

A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the

contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or the

financial asset is transferred to another party without retaining control or

substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. On derecognition of a

financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of

the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any

new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss that had been

recognised in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

40

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(a) Financial instruments (continued)

(iii) Derecognition (continued)

A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the

obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying

amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party

and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or

liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

(b) Income recognition

(i) Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss on the date that the Fund’s

right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted shares

is the entitlement date.

(ii) Income from short term investments

Income from short term investments is recognised as it accrues, using the

effective profit method in profit or loss.

(iii) Gain on sale of investments

The realised gain on sale of investments is measured as the difference

between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the

investments. The carrying amount for determining the realised gain on sale

of investments is based on the weighted average cost method and where

applicable adjusted for accretion for discount and amortisation of premium.

(c) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash at bank and short term placements

with licensed financial institutions which have insignificant risk of changes in

fair value with original maturities of less than 30 days, and are used by the

Fund in the management of its short term commitments.

Cash and cash equivalents are categorised and measured as financing and

receivables in accordance with policy Note 3(a)(ii)(b).

41

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(d) Impairment

Financial assets

All financial assets (except for financial assets categorised as fair value through

profit or loss) are assessed at each reporting date whether there is any

objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events having an

impact on the estimated future cash flows of the asset. Losses expected as a

result of future events, no matter how likely, are not recognised.

An impairment loss in respect of financing and receivables is recognised in

profit or loss and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying

amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the

asset’s original effective profit rate. The carrying amount of the asset is

reduced through the use of an allowance account.

(e) Income tax

Income tax expense comprises current tax. Current tax is recognised in profit or

loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or

other comprehensive income.

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income for

the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of

financial position date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous

years.

(f) Unitholders’ capital

The Fund issues cancellable units, which are cancelled at the unitholder’s

option and are classified as equity. Cancellable units can be put back to the

Fund at any time for cash equal to a proportionate share of the Fund’s net asset

value. The outstanding units is carried at the redemption amount that is payable

at the financial position date if the unitholder exercises the right to put the unit

back to the Fund.

Units are created and cancelled at the unitholder’s option 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 asset

attributable to unitholders with the total number of outstanding units. In

accordance with the Securities Commission’s Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds in

Malaysia, investment positions are valued based on the last traded market price

for the purpose of determining the net asset value per unit for creations and

cancellations.

42

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(f) Unitholders’ capital (continued)

The units in the Fund are puttable instruments, classified as equity, which entitle

the unitholders to a pro-rata share of the net asset of the Fund. The units are

subordinated and have identical features. There is no contractual obligation to

deliver cash or another financial asset other than the obligation on the Fund to

repurchase the units. The total expected cash flows from the units are based on

the change in the net asset of the Fund.

(g) Distribution

Distribution is at the discretion of the Fund. A distribution to the Fund’s

unitholders is accounted for as a deduction from realised reserves. A proposed

distribution is recognised as a liability or equity in the year in which they are

declared.

(h) Net Asset Value

The Net Asset Value is calculated after deducting the retained profits allocated

for distribution.

(i) Fair value measurement

The Fund adopted MFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement which prescribed that

fair value of an asset or a liability, except for share-based payment and lease

transactions, is determined 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. The measurement assumes that the

transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the

principal market or in the absence of a principal market, in the most

advantageous market.

For non-financial asset, the fair value measurement takes into account a

market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in

its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would

use the asset in its highest and best use.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Fund uses

observable market data as far as possible. Fair value are categorised into

different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the input used in the valuation

technique as follows:

43

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(i) Fair value measurement (continued)

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets

or liabilities that the Fund can access at the measurement date.

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are

observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The Fund recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of

the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfers.

16. Financial instruments (continued)

16.3 Financial risk management

The Fund has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial

instruments:

Credit risk

Liquidity risk

Market risk

Investment risk

16.4 Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Fund if counterparty to a

financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Fund’s

exposure to credit risk arises principally from its investment securities,

receivables and cash and cash equivalents.

Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk

The Manager manages the credit risk by setting counterparty limits and

undertaking credit evaluation to minimise the risk. The exposure to credit risk

is monitored on an ongoing basis.

Exposure to credit risk

The Fund’s maximum credit risk exposure at the reporting date is

represented by the respective carrying amounts of the relevant financial

assets in the statement of financial position.

No financial assets carried at amortised cost were past due or impaired as at

date of statement of financial position.

16.5 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will not be able to meet its financial

obligations as they fall due. The Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk arises

principally from its various payables which are due within one year.

The Fund maintains sufficient level of liquid assets, after consultation with the

Trustee, to meet anticipated payments and cancellation of units by

unitholders. Liquid assets comprise cash and other instruments, which are

capable of being converted into cash within 7 days.

56

16. Financial instruments (continued)

16.6 Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as profit rates and

market prices will affect the Fund’s financial position or cash flows.

Profit rate risk

The profit rate profile of the Fund’s significant profit-bearing financial

instruments, based on carrying amounts as at the end of reporting period

was:

Effective profit rate

per annum 2017

Effective profit rate

per annum 2016

% RM % RM Fixed rate instruments Cash and cash equivalents

- Short term investments with maturity less than 30 days

3.00-3.20

5,946,553

2.97

2,736,494

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments

The Fund accounts for the deposits with licensed financial institutions at

amortised cost. Therefore a change in profit rates at the end of the reporting

year would not affect profit or loss. The deposits with licensed financial

institutions will mature within 1 month from the date of financial position.

Market price risk

Equity price risk arises from the Fund’s investments in quoted securities.

Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk

The Fund is restricted to invest in securities issued by any issuer of not more

than 10% of its net asset value. Under such restriction, the exposure risk to

the securities of any issuer is mitigated.

Equity price risk sensitivity analysis

This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant and the

Fund’s equity investments are positively correlated to each other.

A 10% (2016: 10%) strengthening in the equity prices at the end of the

reporting year would have increased the net asset value and unitholders’

fund by RM16,939,594 (2016: RM17,659,298). A 10% weakening in equity

prices would have had equal but opposite effect on the net asset value and

unitholders’ fund respectively.

57

16. Financial instruments (continued)

16.7 Investment risk

Investments are bound by Deed and prospectus that govern the maximum

securities holdings and maximum liquid assets holdings.

Investment risks for equity funds consist primarily of market risk, specific

stock risk and liquidity risk. The mechanism employed to control investment

risk for equity funds is by placing acceptable stock limits.

Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk

The Manager has written policies and guidelines on risk management, which

set out the overall investment risks strategies and general risk management

philosophies. These processes monitor, measure and control risks

associated with the business. Matters relating to investment risks in respect

of Funds portfolio are discussed during the Investment Committee meetings

of the Manager held at least 6 (2016: 5) times a year.

16.8 Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short term receivables and

payables approximate fair values due to the relatively short term nature of these

financial instruments.

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value and carrying

amounts shown in the statement of financial position.

Policy on transfer between levels

The fair value of an asset to be transferred between levels is determined as of

the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.

58

16. Financial instruments (continued)

16.8 Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

Level 1 fair value

Level 1 fair value is derived from quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for

identical financial assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the

measurement date.

Quoted equities

Quoted equities in Malaysia are valued at a closing market price quoted on the

Bursa Malaysia at the date of the statement of financial position, in accordance

with the Deed. Unrealised gain or loss is taken to statement of profit or loss and

other comprehensive income.

Level 2 fair value

Level 2 fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included

within Level 1 that are observable for the financial assets or liabilities, either

directly or indirectly.

Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair values

There has been no transfer between Level 1 and 2 fair values during the

financial year (2016: no transfer in either direction).

Level 3 fair value

Level 3 fair value is estimated using unobservable inputs for the financial assets

and liabilities.

17. Capital management

The Fund’s capital is represented by the unitholders’ fund in the statement of

financial position. The Manager of the Fund monitors the adequacy of capital on an

ongoing basis. There is no external capital requirement imposed on the Fund.
