4. RISK FACTORS
As with all investments, there are risks involved. The prices of units in, and the income from, a unit
trust fund may go up as well as down. You should be aware of the risks and returns involved in
investing in a unit trust fund. No guarantee is given that you will receive any income distribution or
return on your investments or that you will get back your initial amount invested in full. The risks
involved in investing in unit trust funds include but not limited to the following:-
4.1 GENERAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN UNIT TRUST FUNDS
• Market Risk
Market risk refers to the possibility that an investment will lose value because of a general decline
in financial markets, due to economic, political and/or other factors, which will result in a decline
in the Fund’s NAV.
• Fund Management Risk
The performance of a unit trust fund depends on the experience, knowledge and expertise of the
fund manager and the investment strategies adopted. Poor management and/or strategies of a
fund, such as delays in responding appropriately to the economic or market changes, or inadequate
portfolio diversification, will jeopardize the investment of unit holders through the loss of their
capital invested in the fund or loss of opportunity.
• Inflation Risk
This is the risk that investors’ investment in the fund may not grow or generate income at a rate
that keeps pace with inflation. This would reduce investors’ purchasing power even though the
value of the investment in monetary terms has increased.
• Loan Financing Risk
This risk occurs when investors take a loan/financing to finance their investment. The inherent
risk of investing with borrowed money includes investors being unable to service the loan
repayments. In the event units are used as collateral, an investor may be required to top-up the
investors’ existing instalment if the prices of units fall below a certain level due to market
conditions. Failing which, the units may be sold at a lower net asset value per unit as compared to
the net asset value per unit at the point of purchase towards settling the loan.
• Non-Compliance Risk
The risk that the Manager and others associated with Funds may not follow the rules set out in the
Fund’s deed and internal policies, or the laws that governs the unit trust scheme, or act fraudulently
or dishonestly. Non-compliance may expose the fund to higher risks that may result in financial
and/or non-financial losses. However, this risk is greatly reduced via proper establishment of the
compliance and internal control policies.
• Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk refers to the ease of liquidating an asset depending on the asset’s volume traded in
the market. If the Fund holds assets that are illiquid, or are difficult to dispose of, the value of the
Fund will be negatively affected when it has to sell such assets at unfavourable prices.

4.2 SPECIFIC RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
In addition, there are also specific risks associated with the investment portfolio of each Fund. The
specific risks include but are not limited to the following:-
• Equity Market Risk
Applicable to PMB Al-Aiman, PMB Mutiara, PMB Bestari, PMB SAF, PMB SGF, PMB SMCF, PMB SIF,
PMB SPF, PMB SDF, PMB STF, PMB SBF and PMB STEF
The performance of the Fund is subject to the volatility of the stock market which is influenced by
the changes in the economic and political climate, interest rate, international stock market
performance and regulatory policies. The movement of the value in the underlying investment
portfolio will affect the NAV of the Fund. Any downward movement of the value will negatively
impact the NAV of the Fund.
• Stock Specific Risk
Applicable to PMB Al-Aiman, PMB Mutiara, PMB Bestari, PMB SAF, PMB SGF, PMB SMCF, PMB SIF,
PMB SPF, PMB SDF, PMB STF, PMB SBF and PMB STEF
Prices of a particular stock may fluctuate in response to the circumstances affecting individual
companies such as adverse financial performance, news of a possible merger or loss of key
personnel of a company. Any adverse price movements of such stock will adversely affect the fund’s
NAV.
• Equity-related Securities Risk
Applicable to PMB Al-Aiman, PMB Mutiara, PMB Bestari, PMB SAF, PMB SGF, PMB SMCF, PMB SIF,
PMB SPF, PMB SDF, PMB STF, PMB SBF and PMB STEF
The value of the equity-related securities depends on the value of the underlying equities that the
securities are related to. Any upward movement in the value of the underlying equities may result
an upward movement of the value of the respective equity-related securities, and vice versa. Hence,
the movement of the value of the equity-related securities will affect the value of the Fund.
• Shariah Status Reclassification Risk
Applicable to PMB Al-Aiman, PMB Mutiara, PMB Bestari, PMB SAF, PMB SGF, PMB SMCF, PMB SIF,
PMB SPF, PMB SDF, PMB STF, PMB SBF and PMB STEF
This risk refers to the risk that the currently held Shariah-compliant equities in the Fund may be
reclassified as Shariah non-compliant in the periodic review of the equities by the SAC, the Shariah
adviser or the Shariah boards of the relevant Islamic indices. If this occurs, the Manager will take
the necessary steps to dispose such equities. There may be opportunity loss to the Fund due to the
Fund not being allowed to retain the excess capital gains derived from the disposal of the Shariah
non-compliant equities. In such an event, the Fund should :–
(a) dispose of the securities if the value of the securities exceeds or is equal to the investment
cost on the date of announcement of the List of Shariah-compliant securities by the SAC. The
Fund is allowed to keep dividends received and capital gain from the disposal of the
securities up to the date of announcement of the List of Shariah-compliant securities by the
SAC. However, any dividends received and excess capital gain from the disposal of Shariah
non-compliant securities after the date of announcement of the List of Shariah-compliant
securities by the SAC should be channeled to baitulmal and/or charitable bodies;
(b) hold the respective securities if the market price of the said securities is below the
investment cost until the market price or value of the securities is equal to the cost of
investment; or
2016/2017 MASTER PROSPECTUS
28
PMB Investment Berhad
(c) dispose of the securities at the price lower than the investment cost which will result the
decrease in the Fund’s value.
You may refer to Section 5.5 on the Fund’s Shariah methodology on the treatment of gains and
losses as a result of the reclassification of Shariah non-compliant equities.
• Dividend Policy Risk
Applicable to PMB Al-Aiman, PMB Mutiara, PMB Bestari, PMB SDF and PMB STEF
This is a risk particular to the fund which has heavy emphasis on high yield dividend stocks. Such
a risk may occur when fundamentals of the company’s business deteriorate or if there is a change
in the dividend payout policy resulting in a reduction of the dividend to be paid by the company.
This risk may be mitigated by investing mainly in companies with a consistent historical record of
paying dividends, strong cash flow, or operating in fairly stable industries.
• Risk of Tracking Error
Applicable to PMB SIF
The Fund’s performance may not reflect the performance of the FBMSHA as the weights of index
stocks held by the Fund vs the respective stock’s weightings in the FBMSHA does not fully replicate
the FBMSHA constituents. As a result, there is no guarantee that the fund will exactly replicate or
track the underlying benchmark’s return. However the Fund will be rebalanced on a monthly basis
to manage its tracking error versus the benchmark.
• Profit/Interest Rate Risk
Applicable to PMB STF, PMB SBF and PMB SCMF
Movements in interest rate will have an impact on a management of a fund. This risk refers to the
effect of profit/interest rate changes on the market value of Islamic money market instruments,
Islamic deposit placements and sukuk. Any downward movement of the profit/interest rate may
result in a loss of the expected return from the Fund’s investments in Islamic money market
instrument and Islamic deposit placement. The value of the sukuk has a tendency to move inversely
with the movement of the profit/interest whereby the prices of the sukuk may fall when
profit/interest rates rise, and vice versa.
The interest rate is a general indicator. Although the Funds does not invest in interest bearing
instruments, the movement of the interest rate will have an impact on the profit rate of the Islamic
money market instruments and Islamic deposit placement, and consequently affect the expected
return of the Fund’s investments.
• Credit/Default Risk
Applicable to PMB STF, PMB SBF and PMB SCMF
Credit risk relates to the creditworthiness of the issuers of the sukuk and their expected ability to
make timely payment of interest and/or principal. Any adverse situations faced by the issuer may
impact the value as well as liquidity of the sukuk. In the case of rated sukuk, this may lead to a credit
downgrade. Default risk relates to the risk that an issuer of a sukuk either defaulting on payments
or failing to make payments in a timely manner which will in turn adversely affect the value of the
sukuk. This could adversely affect the value of the fund.
As a result of the general risks of investing in the unit trust funds and specific risks associated with
investment portfolios, capital appreciation of the value of the Funds cannot be guaranteed. However,
the Manager will take reasonable steps to ensure that the above potential risks are mitigated. You may
refer to Section 5.7 on the Risk Management Strategies.

The FBMSHA is subject to the FTSE Bursa Malaysia index rules and calculation methodology. To be eligible for
inclusion in the FBMSHA, any stock is subject to the following screening:-
Eligible Securities
All classes of ordinary shares in issue are eligible for inclusion, subject to conforming to all other rules of
eligibility, free float and liquidity.
• Free Float
Free float is share capital freely available for trading. Each company is required to have at least 15% of
free float to be eligible for inclusion. The free float excludes restricted shareholding like cross holdings,
significant long term holdings by founders, their families and/or directors, restricted employee share
schemes, government holdings and portfolio investments subject to a lock in clause, for the duration of
that clause.
A free float factor is applied to the market capitalization of each company in accordance with the free float
bands specified in the FTSE Bursa Malaysia ground rules. The factor is used to determine the attribution
of the company's market activities in the index.
• Liquidity
A liquidity screen is applied to ensure the company's stocks are liquid enough to be traded. An existing
constituent which does not turnover at least 0.04% of its shares in issue (after the application of any
investability weightings) based on its median daily trade per month for at least eight or the 12 month prior
to the semi-annual review will be removed.
• Shariah Compliance
The general criteria, as determined by the SAC, stipulate that the Shariah-compliant companies must not
be involved in any of the following core activities:
a. Financial services based on riba (interest);
b. Gambling;
c. Manufacture or sale of non-halal products or related products;
d. Conventional insurance;
e. Entertainment activities that are non-permissible according to Shariah;
f. Manufacture or sale of tobacco based products or related products;
g. Stockbroking or share trading in Shariah non-compliant securities; and
h. Other activities deemed non-permissible according to Shariah.
The FBMSHA is calculated every 60 seconds on a real time basis. Its constituents are reviewed semi-annually
in June and December by the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Advisory Committee.

You may obtain information on the FBMSHA from the business section of major daily newspapers and financial
periodicals, Bursa Malaysia's website at http://www.bursamalaysia.com and FTSE Group's website at
http://www.ftse.com.
The calculation of the FBMSHA is provided by FTSE. Therefore, the accuracy and completeness of the
calculation of FBMSHA may be affected by data, system, operational and statistical error of the index provider.
Circumstances that May Lead to Tracking Errors
The Fund potentially exhibits tracking error as it may not follow exactly the movement of the FBMSHA where
it may outperform or underperform the index. The tracking error may arise due to the following reasons:
a. the Fund’s investment does not fully replicate the FBMSHA stock constituents as it emphasizes on the top
15 of the FBMSHA which represent only approximately 65% of the index;
b. the Fund’s underweight positions in any of the top 15 of the FBMSHA;
c. the Fund’s investment in securities other than the top 15 components of the FBMSHA as investment cannot
exceed the index weight;
d. the Fund’s non-investment in lower weightage constituent stocks that outperform the index;
e. the Fund's equity investment of between 90% and 99.5% whereas the index is 100% invested at all times;
and
f. fees and expenses of the Fund such as management fees, trustee fees, other indirect fees and transaction
costs which are charged to the Fund, contributing variance between the return of the Fund and its
performance benchmark.
The error may be minimized by rebalancing the investments in the Fund at the beginning of the subsequent
months to reflect the changes to the composition of the weightings of shares in the FBMSHA.
Accordingly, a monthly analysis of the portfolio is conducted to ensure that tracking errors are within an
acceptable level, the investment weightings are within the tolerance limit, and a minimum 60% of the Fund’s
NAV is in FBMSHA top 15 major component stocks.
Policy on Investment Portfolio Rebalancing
The Fund is rebalanced at the beginning of the month to reflect the changes to the composition of or the
weightings of shares in the FBMSHA at the end of the preceding month. The rebalancing process is done when
the NAV of the stock in the portfolio exceeds its respective weighting in the FBMSHA. The shares of that
particular stock are disposed off to reduce the weighting to match the level of stock weighting of FBMSHA.
However, for stocks which cost of investment is higher than the market value, the disposal may be done within
a 3-month grace period to minimize any potential loss.

order to take advantage of the short term market inefficiencies in different asset classes and to navigate
changing markets with the objective of achieving sustainable, long term positive returns. The frequency of

For investment in sukuk, credit evaluation and profit/interest rate direction are the most critical risk factors
to be considered. As for credit evaluation, the fund manager set stringent investment criteria in assessing
sukuk, covering mainly the nature of business, management, cash flow, gearing level and collateralization. In
case the Fund invests in such instrument, only investment grade sukuk rated by either RAM or MARC will be
considered. To be prudent, the Manager adopts a strategy by:-
i) selecting only instruments with a minimum credit rating of A2 as per the rating scale of RAM or its
equivalent for long term instruments and P2 or its equivalent for short–term instruments; and/or
ii) having a longer or shorter duration of debt instruments depending on the expected direction of the KLIRR.
For Islamic money market instruments and/or Islamic deposit placement the selection will be based on criteria
such as liquidity, prevailing rate and tenure. The short-term nature of the sukuk, Islamic money market
instruments and/or Islamic deposit placements will allow the Manager to easily switch to equities when the
stock market is favourable.

market instruments which is in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and the Manager’s
assessment of investment prospects in line with the underlying profit/interest rate level and economic outlook.
The Manager will review the asset allocation from time to time to facilitate redemption requests while
optimizing income from investments.
The Fund shall invest up to 100% of its NAV in near term Islamic money market instruments, Islamic deposit

5.5 SHARIAH-COMPLIANT AND SHARIAH APPROVAL PROCESS
All Shariah-compliant funds must at all times and all stages of its operation comply with the Shariah principles.
In the first place, the funds must be raised, operated and redeemed, if any, by investor on the basis of contracts
which are acceptable by Shariah.
In terms of investments, there are two significant Shariah-compliant matters that need to be adhered to. First
is the securities to be invested and secondly the companies of which the securities are issued. In making
investments, both securities and companies must be Shariah-compliant.
Capital Market Instruments
Since the establishment of the SAC, several capital market instruments have been evaluated and approved;
they are:
• Ordinary shares;
• Warrants/Transferable Subscription Rights (if the underlying is Shariah-compliant);
• Call warrants (if the underlying is Shariah-compliant);
• Non-cumulative preference shares;
• Redeemable preference shares;
• Crude palm oil futures contracts;
• Crude palm kernel oil futures contracts;
• Khazanah zero-coupon sukuk;
• Single Stock Futures (if the underlying is Shariah-compliant); and
• Futures Contract Index (if the index component is made up of Shariah-compliant securities)
As for the Shariah-compliant funds, investments in any of the above instruments depend on their respective
objective and investment strategy and the capital instruments that are allowed to be used to achieve the
objective.
Shariah Adviser
The Guidelines stipulate that Shariah-compliant unit trust funds are required to appoint a Shariah committee
or Shariah adviser. At PMB Investment, we have appointed a Shariah Adviser whose details are in Section 10.9.
The investment portfolio of Shariah-compliant unit trust funds must invest only in Shariah-compliant
securities/instruments. As a general rule, for investment in equities, we use the approved List of Shariah-
compliant securities issued by the SAC (Approved List), which is currently updated in May and November every
year. However, in cases where the status of securities has not been determined by the SAC due to reasons such
as initial public offer, the interim status of the securities will be determined by our Shariah Adviser in
accordance with the SAC screening methodology until such time when the SAC issues its ruling on the
securities.
When investing in Islamic money market instruments, Islamic deposit placements, sukuk and/or other
permitted investments for Shariah-compliant unit trust funds, they must also be Shariah-compliant as
determined by the Shariah Advisory Council of Bank Negara Malaysia and/or the SAC, as the case may be.
Classification of Shariah Securities by the SC
For companies listed on Bursa Malaysia, the Funds’ investments must be strictly confined to the companies in
the prevailing Approved List.
In classifying the securities listed on Bursa Malaysia, the SAC received input and support from the SC. The SC
gathered information on the companies from various sources, such as company annual financial reports,
company responses to survey forms and through inquiries made to the respective company’s management.
The SAC adopts a two-tier quantitative approach, which applies the business activity benchmarks and the
financial ratio benchmarks, in determining the Shariah status of the listed securities. Hence, the securities will
be classified as Shariah-compliant if they are within the business activity benchmarks and the financial ratio
benchmarks.

benchmarks
5% Conventional banking and insurance, gambling, liquor and
liquor related activities, pork and pork related activities,
non-halal food and beverages, Shariah non-compliant
entertainment, tobacco, interest income from conventional
accounts and instruments, (including interest income
awarded arising from a court judgement or arbitrator and
dividends from Shariah non-compliant investments) and
other activities deemed non-compliant according to Shariah.
20% Hotel and resort operations, share trading, stockbroking
business, rental received from Shariah non-compliant
activities and other activities deemed non-compliant
according to Shariah.
Financial Ratio
Benchmarks
33% i. Cash over total assets: Cash only includes cash placed
in conventional accounts and instruments, whereas
cash placed in Islamic accounts and instruments will be
excluded from the calculation.
ii. Debt over total assets: Debt only includes interest
bearing debt whereas Islamic financing or sukuk is
excluded from the calculation.
Each ratio, which is intended to measure riba and riba-
based elements within a company’s statements of
financial position, must be less than 33%.
In addition to the above two-tier quantitative criteria, the SAC also takes into account the qualitative aspect
which involves public perception or image of the company’s activities from the perspective of Islamic teaching.
Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs)
In classifying securities of SPACs, the SAC considers the following criteria:
(i) The proposed business activity should be Shariah compliant;
(ii) The entire proceeds raised from the initial public offering should be placed in Islamic accounts; and
(iii) In the event that the proceeds are invested, the entire investment should be Shariah compliant.
Shariah-compliant securities include ordinary shares and warrants (issued by the companies themselves). This
means that warrants are classified as Shariah-compliant securities provided the underlying shares are also
Shariah compliant. On the other hand, loan stocks and bonds are Shariah non-compliant securities unless they
are structured based on the SAC’s approved Shariah rulings, concepts and principles.

Timing for disposal of Shariah non-compliant securities
(i) “Shariah-compliant securities” which are subsequently re-classified as “Shariah non-compliant”
These refer to securities which were earlier classified as Shariah-compliant but due to certain factors such
as changes in the companies’ business operations and financial positions, are subsequently reclassified as
Shariah non-compliant.
In this regard, if on the date this updated list takes effect (27 November 2015), the respective market price
of Shariah non-compliant securities exceeds or is equal to the investment cost, investors who hold such
securities must dispose them off. Any dividends received up to the date of the announcement and capital
gains arising from the disposal of Shariah non-compliant securities on the date of the announcement can
be kept by the investors. However, any dividends received and excess capital gain from the disposal of
Shariah non-compliant securities after the date of the announcement should be channeled to baitulmal
and/or charitable bodies.*
On the other hand, investors are allowed to hold their investment in the Shariah non-compliant securities
if the market price of the said securities is below the investment cost. It is also permissible for the investors
to keep the dividends received during the holding period until such time when the total amount of
dividends received and the market value of the Shariah non-compliant securities held equal the investment
cost. At this stage, the Fund will dispose of their holding.
In addition, during the holding period, investors are allowed to subscribe to:
(a) any issue of new securities by a company whose Shariah non-compliant securities are held by the
investors, for example rights issues, bonus issues, special issues and warrants (excluding securities
whose nature is Shariah non-compliant e.g. loan stocks); and
(b) Shariah-compliant securities of other companies offered by the company whose Shariah non-
compliant securities are held by the investors, on condition that they expedite the disposal of the
Shariah non-compliant securities.
(ii) Shariah non-compliant securities
The SAC advises investors who invest based on Shariah principles to dispose off any Shariah non-
compliant securities which they presently hold, within a month of knowing the status of the securities.
Any gain made in the form of capital gain or dividend received before or after the disposal of the
securities has to be channeled to baitulmal and/or charitable bodies. The investor has a right to retain
only the investment cost.
Note: Investment cost may include brokerage cost or other related.
Foreign Shariah-compliant Securities
For investment in foreign securities, the Funds are only allowed to invest in securities which are on the
Approved List of the Dow Jones Islamic Market Index (DJIM). With regard to the issue of delisting of Shariah
compliant securities from DJIM and Shariah non-compliant foreign securities, the Funds are to abide by the
same processes as laid down by the SAC. In the rare event that the Fund wishes to invest in foreign securities
not covered by DJIM, the Funds must submit to the Shariah Adviser the latest information pertaining to
business activities, complete financial statements and other related information on the relevant company to
enable the Shariah Adviser to carry out stock screening. The decision of the Shariah Adviser is final.

5.7 RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES
Applicable to PMB Al-Aiman, PMB Mutiara, PMB Bestari, PMB SAF, PMB SGF, PMB SMCF, PMB SPF, PMB SDF
and PMB STEF
The Manager adopts an active investment strategy to manage the risks of equity investment of the Fund. The
market volatility may lead to capital loss which affects the Fund’s return. Stock selection and diversification of
investment in equity securities are keys to mitigating the overall risk of the Fund.
The equity market risk of the Fund is prudently managed through the following strategies:-
• Stock selection whereby the Manager employs fundamental approach to ensure selection of quality
Shariah-compliant equity which takes into account information gathered during company visits, potential
income and earnings growth, management quality and past track records of the companies are considered;
and
• Diversification into different sectors that gives the Manager flexibility to move the Fund’s equity exposure
actively within the asset allocation range depending on capital market conditions. The flexibility allows
the Manager to remain invested during market upturns or liquidate investments to preserve its capital
during the market downturns.
To manage the stock specific risk of the Fund, in-depth company analysis is conducted. Stock selection is based
on stringent investment criteria which include the company’s financial strength, business operations and
management and good corporate governance. The Fund also takes into account trading liquidity to manage
the stock specific risk.
For investment in sukuk, credit evaluation and profit rate direction are the most critical risk factors to be
considered. As for credit evaluation, the fund manager has set stringent investment criteria in assessing sukuk,
covering mainly the nature of business, cash flow, gearing level, management and collateralization. In case the
Fund invests in such instrument, only investment grade sukuk rated by either RAM or MARC will be
considered. As for the profit/interest rate direction, the expected direction of KLIRR will be taken into
consideration.

performance of the Fund and the relevant markets, immediate and future investment approach and asset
allocation strategy, and compliance status.
The Manager may take a temporary defensive position as stated in Section 5.6 above.
Applicable to PMB SIF
The Manager employs reasonable steps in managing the risks through close monitoring of the economic and
investment climate, market development and industry updates, and making appropriate adjustments to the
Fund’s asset allocation to minimize the adverse impact on any particular stock or the market as a whole.
However as the intention of the Fund is to track the FBMSHA, the Fund will invest a minimum of 80% in equity
in any adverse condition.
In addition, regular reporting to and consulting with the Investment Committee members are held at periodical

Applicable to PMB STF
The Manager adopts an active trading strategy to manage the risks of equity investment of the Fund. The price
fluctuation caused by the market volatilities may lead to capital loss which affects the return of both equity and
non-equity investments. The Fund’s market risk is prudently managed through tactical asset allocation
approach based on fundamental and technical analysis. The asset allocation exposure may differ from time to
time depending on the capital market conditions. The Manager may reallocate up to 100% of the Fund’s equity
investments into other Shariah-compliant securities including Islamic money market instruments and/or
Islamic deposits and where applicable sukuk.
For equity investment, in-depth company analysis is conducted. Stock selection is based on stringent
investment criteria which include the company’s financial strength, business operations and management. The
valuations are thoroughly analyzed to ensure the Fund invests in companies that are viable and may produce
return in the long term. The Fund also takes into account diversification and trading liquidity to manage the
stock specific risk.
For non-equity investment in sukuk, credit evaluation and profit/interest rate direction are the most critical
risk factors to be considered. As for credit evaluation, the fund manager has set stringent investment criteria
in assessing sukuk, covering mainly the nature of business, cash flow, gearing level, management and
collateralization. The Fund only invests in investment grade sukuk rated either by RAM or MARC. For
profit/interest rate risk management, the Fund’s sukuk exposure will be managed by adjusting its average
tenure. If the profit/interest rate is expected to go up in the future, the Fund will invest in shorter tenure
instruments to mitigate the impact of decrease in sukuk’s prices.
In addition, regular reporting and consulting with the Investment Committee members are held at periodical
meetings. The reporting to the Investment Committee consists of, amongst others, their view on the
performance of the relevant markets and the Funds, immediate and future investment strategies and asset
allocations, and compliance status.

• The asset allocation exposure may differ from time to time depending on the condition of the capital
markets. Asset and sector allocations are based on thorough macroeconomic analysis. The Fund’s equity
exposure may increase to a maximum of 60% on the expectation that the stock market has a potential to
appreciate in the future. On a temporary defensive move, the Fund’s equity exposure may be reduced to
40% or below if the market is expected to decline.

rating of P2 by RAM or MARC2 by MARC or minimum long term rating of A2 by RAM or A by MARC that conform
to the principles of Shariah. Short term instruments can be defined as instruments which mature within 365
days whilst medium term instruments can be defined as instruments which mature over 365 days but not more
than 2 years. Where the rating falls below the required minimum rating, the designated fund manager will
dispose of the instrument.

The above investment restrictions and limits have at all times to be complied with based on the most up-to-
date valuation of the investments and instruments of the Fund. However, a 5% allowance in excess of any
restriction or limit may be permitted where the restriction or limit is breached through an appreciation or
depreciation of the NAV of the Fund (whether as a result of an appreciation or depreciation in value of the

5.10 VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
In respect of the investments of the Funds, it is our policy for the valuation point for the assets of the Fund to
be valued on a daily basis at the end of business day, in accordance with their respective class and at all times
in compliance with the Guidelines.
• Listed Securities
The valuation of securities listed on an Eligible Market will be based on the market price.
However, if–
i) a valuation based on the market price does not represent the fair value of the securities, for example
during abnormal market conditions; or
ii) no market price is available, including in the event of a suspension in the quotation of the securities
for a period exceeding 14 days, or such shorter period as agreed by the trustee,
then the securities should be valued at fair value, as determined in good faith by the Manager, based on the
methods or bases approved by the Trustee after appropriate technical consultation.
• Unlisted Securities
The valuation of unlisted securities will be based on fair value as determined in good faith by the Manager,
based on the methods or bases approved by the Trustee after appropriate technical consultation.
• Unlisted Sukuk Denominated in Ringgit Malaysia
Fund investing in unlisted sukuk denominated in Ringgit Malaysia will be based on price quoted by a Bond
Pricing Agency (BPA) registered with the SC. Where the Manager is of the view that the price quoted by BPA
for a specific sukuk differs from the market price by more than 20 basis points, the Manager may use the
“market price”, provided that the Manager-
i) records its basis for using a nonBPA price;
ii) obtains necessary internal approvals to use the non-BPA price; and
iii) keeps an audit trail of all decisions and basis for adopting the “market yield”.
• Other Unlisted Sukuk
The valuation on other unlisted sukuk will be based on fair value by reference to the average indicative yield
quoted by three independent and reputable institutions.
• Unlisted Collective Investment Scheme
The value of the Units will be based on the last published repurchase price.
• Islamic Money Market Instruments
The valuation for money market instrument are valued at market yields based on the remaining days to
maturity.

• Islamic Deposit Placements
Deposits placed with banks and other financial institutions are valued each day by reference to the nominal
value and the profit accrued thereon for the relevant period.
• Foreign Securities and Assets

from time to time.
ii) All the above charges are subject to the goods and services tax (GST) currently at the rate of 6.0% (You

• Sales Charge
Below is an illustration on how the sales charge is calculated:-
Investment amount in PMB SIF : RM10,000
NAV per Unit : RM0.5000
Sales charge : 6.0% of NAV per unit
Units issued to Unit Holder = Investment amount
NAV per unit
= RM10,000
RM0.5000
= 20,000 units
Sales charge per Unit = NAV per unit x Sales charge (%)
= RM0.5000 x 6.0%
= RM0.0300
Total sales charge* = 20,000 units x RM0.0300
= RM600.00
Please note that the above example is for illustration purposes only.

(NAV before accruing the management fee and the trustee fee
on the valuation point) X (the rate of management fee)
Number of days in a year
Assuming the NAV before accruing the management fee and trustee fee on a particular date is RM280,000.00
and the rate of management fee for the relevant fund is 1.5% per annum, the amount of the management fee
charged for that particular date would be:-
Management Fee* = RM280,000 X 1.5% /365 days
= RM11.51
*Note: In addition, the above fee is subject to the goods and services tax (GST) currently at the rate of 6.0%.

• Annual Trustee Fee
The annual trustee fee is calculated daily at 0.1% per annum of the NAV of a Fund, except for PMB SDF at the
rate of 0.1% per annum subject to a minimum fee of RM18,000 per annum and PMB SCMF at the rate of 0.05%
per annum based on NAV, before accruing the annual management fee and the trustee fee accrued on the
valuation point. The computation of the annual trustee fee for a particular date is based on the following
method:-
(NAV before accruing the management fee and the trustee
fee on the valuation point) X (the rate of trustee fee)
Number of days in a year
Assuming the NAV before accruing the management fee and trustee fee on a particular date is RM280,000.00
and the rate of trustee fee for the relevant fund is 0.1% per annum, the amount of the trustee fee charged for
that particular date would be:-
Trustee Fee* = RM280,000 X 0.1% / 365 days
= RM0.77
*Note: In addition, the above fee is subject to the goods and services tax (GST) currently at the rate of 6.0%.

securities, and capital gains realized from the disposal of investments in the Fund. The Fund may
distribute all or part of its net income and or net realized capital gains to its Unit Holders at the
discretion of the Manager, subject to the Trustee’s approval. Potential investors are however advised

---- cheques; or
---- e-payment to the Unit Holder’s bank account.

MASTER PROSPECTUS 2016/2017
131
PMB Investment Berhad
The income distributed may be in the form of ‘units’ instead of cash. A statement of the distribution of
units will be delivered to the Unit Holder within a reasonable time period, as permitted by the
Guidelines.
• Unit Split
The Fund may undertake a unit split exercise to reduce the price of the units and this can only be
conducted once in every 12 month-period. The unit split exercise may be conducted at the time of the
distribution of return or at any time within the financial year. Where the exercise is conducted within
the financial year, the Fund needs to show a sustainable appreciation in its NAV in the preceding 6-
month period.
• Reinvestment Policies
Reinvestment instruction of income distribution may be applied by Unit Holders by marking the
instruction in the application form. The distribution will be credited to the Unit Holder’s investment
account. The value of the reinvestment of distribution will be equivalent to the NAV per unit on the
first business day following the Distribution Date. No charge will be imposed on the distribution
reinvestment.
However, if a Unit Holder wishes to reinvest the distribution upon receipt of distribution warrants /
cash, such distribution reinvestment will be treated as normal sales of units.
• Auto Reinvestment
Auto reinvestment will be applied to the followings:
---- Distribution amount of less than RM50, which will be reinvested at the unit price equivalent to the
NAV per unit computed at the end of the next business day following the Distribution Date. No
additional charge will be imposed on the distribution reinvestment.
---- Fund’s distribution of income is by way of units, irrespective of the standing instruction given by
the Unit Holders to the contrary.
---- Unit Holders should notify the Manager of their option for reinvestment and any change of address
within fourteen (14) business days prior to each distribution date.
• Unclaimed Distribution
Distributions (if any) if not claimed within 6 months after the date of payment will be automatically
reinvested provided that the Unit Holder’s account remains active and subject to the availability of
units to be subscribed. In the event that Unit Holder’s account is already closed, the monies will be
sent to the Office of Registrar of Unclaimed Monies, Accountant General’s Department as required
under the Unclaimed Monies Act 1965 (as may be amended).
9.10 DETERMINATION OF PRICE
• Forward Pricing
The price of units of a Fund is determined based on the NAV per unit as at the next valuation point
after a request for sales or repurchase of Units is received by the Manager.
Dealing cut-off time for any units to be issued and/or redeemed is 3.00 p.m. on the business day except
for PMB SCMF. For PMB SCMF, the dealing cut-off time is 9.15 a.m. Any application received after the
cut-off time will be treated as it is received on the following business day.
• Single Pricing Regime (SPR)
According to the SPR, the creation, cancellation, selling and buying/repurchase prices for units will be
the NAV per unit on any transaction. For an example, the NAV per unit during a particular date is
RM0.23375 (before 4 decimal rounding adjustments).
NAV per unit = Buying Price per unit
= RM0.2338 (rounded to 4 decimal places)
2016/2017 MASTER PROSPECTUS

• Computation of NAV and NAV Per Unit
The NAV of the Fund is determined by deducting the value of the Fund’s liabilities from the value of
the Fund’s assets, at a valuation point.
Illustration :
For illustration purposes, assuming the figures of a relevant day are as below:
Value of the Fund’s Assets = RM100,000,000.00
Value of the Fund’s Liabilities = RM500,000.00
Units in Circulation = 150,000,000
Annual Management Fee = 1.5% per annum
Annual Trustee Fee = 0.1% per annum
The NAV of the Fund will be:
RM
Fund’s asset 100,000,000.00
Less: Fund’s liabilities (500,000.00)
Net asset value (before annual management fee & trustee fee) 99,500,000.00
Less: Management fee (1.5% per annum) (4,089.04)
Trustee fee (0.1% per annum) (272.60)
NAV of the Fund of the day (before GST) 99,495,638.36
Less: GST of 6% on the management fee (245.34)
GST of 6% on the trustee fee (16.36)
NAV of the Fund of the day (after GST) 99,495,376.66
The NAV per unit of the Fund will be:
NAV per unit = NAV of the Fund / Unit in Circulation
= RM 99,495,376.66/ 150,000,000
= RM 0.66330251106 (before rounding adjustment)
= RM 0.6633 (rounded to 4 decimal points)
• Amount Payable Upon Sales of Units
Units will be sold at the NAV per unit of the Funds. Any sales charge payable by the Unit Holder would
be calculated as a percentage of the NAV per unit of the Funds.
For illustration purposes, assume the following;
Price/ NAV per unit = RM0.5000
Sales charge per unit = 6.0%
Goods & Services Tax = 6.0%

= RM9402.03 + RM564.12 +
RM33.85

• Amount Received Upon Repurchase of Units
As the redemption or buying price per unit of the Fund is equivalent to the NAV per unit, the total
amount received upon a repurchase of units will be equivalent to (the number of units redeemed x
the redemption price or buying price per unit) less (redemption charge x number of units redeemed.)
However, PMB Investment does not imposed any charges on redemption during the lifetime of the
Master Prospectus.
Illustration of Amount Received upon Redemption of units is shown below:-
Amount received = (units redeemed) x (redemption price or buying price per unit) –
(redemption charge x number of units redeemed)
= (10,000 units x RM0.5000) – (0 x 10,000 units)
= RM5,000

• Incorrect Pricing
In case pricing discrepancies in the calculation of NAV occurs, the Manager will take immediate
remedial action to rectify the Unit pricing at the Fund’s level. The money will be reimbursed to the
Unit Holder if the error is more than 0.5% of the Unit NAV or RM10.00 in absolute amount whichever
is higher. Nevertheless, for a reimbursement of a lesser amount, it will be up to the Manager’s
discretion.

E) Gains From The Realisation of Investments
Pursuant to Section 61(1)(b) of the Malaysian Income Tax Act 1967, gains from the realization of investments
will not be treated as income of the Funds and hence, are not subject to income tax. Such gains may be subject
to real property gains tax under the Real Property Gains Tax Act 1976 (“RPGT Act“), if the gains are derived
from the sale of chargeable assets, as defined in the RPGT Act.
With effect from 1 January 2014, any gains from disposal of real properties (“chargeable asset”) or shares in
real property companies “chargeable asset” would be subject to real property gains tax. According to Part II of
Schedule 5 of the Real Property Gains Tax Act 1976 the RPGT rates as follows:

F) Tax Deductible Expenses
Tax deductible expenses are governed by Section 33(1) and Section 63B of the Malaysian Income Tax Act 1967.

production of gross income. Whilst, Section 63B allows the Funds deduction for a portion of other
expenses(referred to as “permitted expenses”) not directly related to the production of income. The special
deduction is calculated based on the following formula:
A X B
4C
Where:
A is the total of the permitted expenses incurred for that basis period.“Permitted expenses” means expenses
incurred by the unit trust in respect of manager’s remuneration, maintenance of register of unit holders,
share registration expenses, secretarial, audit, accounting fees, telephone charges, printing and stationery
cost and postage, which are not deductible under Section 33(1),
B is gross income consisting of dividend, interest and rent that are chargeable to tax for that basis period,
and
C is the aggregate of the gross income consisting of dividend, interest (whether exempt or not), rent and
gains made from the realization of investments (whether chargeable to tax or not) for that basis period,
Provided that the amount of deduction to be made based on the above prescribed formula shall not be less
than 10% of the total permitted expenses incurred for that basis period.
G) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
GST was implemented in Malaysia under the Goods and Service Tax Act 2014 effective from 1 April 2015 at a
standard rate of 6%. It replaces the previous Sales Tax Act 1972 and Service Tax Act 1975 which were
abolished on that date.
Based on the Guide on Fund Management issued by the Royal Malaysian Customs Department on 27 October
2013, the investment activities of a unit trust fund including the buying and selling of securities are exempt
MASTER PROSPECTUS 2016/2017
157
PMB Investment Berhad
supplies. Therefore, a unit trust fund makes wholly exempt supplies and is not required to be registered for
GST purposes. There is no requirement for the Fund to make any application for exemption from registration.
However, certain expenses incurred by the Fund such as fund manager’s fee, trustee fees and professional fees
will be subject to GST at the standard rate if the service providers are registered persons. If the Fund is making
exempt supplies, any input tax incurred by the Fund for the aforementioned expenses are not claimable.
2) Taxation of Unit Trust Holders
For Malaysian income tax purposes, unit holders will be taxed on their share of the distributions received from
the Funds.
The income of unit holders from their investment in the Funds broadly falls under the following categories : -
1. Taxable Distributions; and
2. Non-Taxable And Exempt Distributions.
3. Undistributed Income
In addition, unit holders may also realize gain from the sale of units.
The tax implications of each of the above categories are explained below: -
1. Taxable Distributions
Unit holders will be taxed on an amount equivalent to their share of the total taxable income of the Funds to
the extent of the distributions received from the Funds.
The income distributions received from the Fundswill have to be grossed up to take into account the underlying
tax paid by the Funds and the unit holders will be taxed on the grossed up amount.
Such distributions carry a tax credit in respect of the tax paid by the Funds. Unit holders will be entitled to
utilize the tax credit against any Malaysian income tax payable by the unit holder on the income distribution
received by them, the excess is refundable to the unit holder.
Please refer to the paragraph below for the income tax rates applicable to the grossed up distributions.
2. Non-Taxable And Exempt Distributions
The distribution of single tier dividends, other than tax exempt income and gains from the realization of
investments earned by the Fund will not be subject to Malaysian income tax in the hands of the Unit holders in
Malaysia. Distribution of foreign income will also be exempted in the hands of the Unit holders.
The following types of income is tax exempt in the hands of the unit holders : -
a) certain interest income and foreign sourced income is tax exempt at the unit trust level. Unit holders
who receive a distribution of such tax exempt income will not be subject to income tax.
b) disposal of investments by the unit trust fund is not subject to tax. The distribution of gains from such
disposals is tax exempt in the hands of the unit holders.
c) any gains realized by unit holders (other than dealers in securities, insurance companies or financial
institutions) on the sale, transfer or redemption of the units trust are treated as capital gains and will
not be subject to income tax.
d) bonus issues of units which either : -
* represents a division of the unit holder’s existing investment into a larger number of units, or
* the distribution of unrealized gains as additional units.
However, if the bonus issue of units represents distribution of income derived from investment of the
unit trust, these units will be subject to tax.

e) Unit holders electing to receive their income distribution by way of investment in the form of the
purchase of new units will be regarded as having purchased the new units out of their income
distribution after tax. Unit splits issued by the Funds are not taxable in the hands of Unit holders.
3. Undistributed Income

from other sources in the relevant Income Tax Return Forms.

15.9 GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (GST)
With effect from 1 April 2015, GST has been implemented to replace the current sales tax and service tax
regime currently at the rate of 6%.
Based on the Guide on Fund Management issued by Royal Malaysian Customs Department on 27th October
2013 (“Guide on Fund Management”), a unit trust fund is making exempt supplies. Any contribution made to
the Fund by its Unit Holders for the issuance of units in the Fund should be regarded as an exempt supply of
services and thus, should not be subject to GST.
The investment made by the Fund to maximize its returns is generally proposed to be treated as exempt supply
and not subject to GST. Any investment activity such as buying or selling of securities should generally be
exempted from GST. However any fee-based charges by the Fund should be a taxable supply subject to GST at
the standard rate of 6%, provided the Fund exceeds the GST registration threshold of RM500,000 per annum
of taxable supplies. Any GST incurred by the Fund on the manager’s fees, trustee fees and other supplies
received by the Fund are not claimable as input tax credit for GST purposes if the Fund is not GST registered
or even if GST registered, to the extent the supplies by the Fund are exempted from GST.

admitted for permanent residence of the US; or a corporation incorporated in the US.
15.11 ZAKAT
The Funds do not allocate payment for zakat on capital gains and income distributions, on behalf of Muslim
individuals and Muslim legal entities that invest in the Funds since by doing so, would not fulfill their zakat
obligations. Thus, Unit Holders are required and advised to make their own arrangements in respect of the
payments of zakat.
Muslim individuals and legal entities that are investors of the Funds are required to pay zakat on trading and
investment income. To determine the amount of zakat payable, these investors need to add the principal

any time by the Trustee or by a resolution of Unit Holders holding not less than 2/3 of the units in issue. Any
