Performance of PIA40GF from 6 December 2010
(Commencement Date) to 30 November 2013
The Fund commenced the nancial year under review with a Shariah-
compliant equity exposure of 90.6% and subsequently increased its
Shariah-compliant equity exposure to above 95% by May 2013. The Fund
maintained a relatively high Shariah-compliant equity exposure throughout
the nancial year to capitalise on Shariah-compliant investment opportunities
in the domestic and regional markets. At the end of the nancial year under

as the Fund locked in prots. Based on an average Shariah-compliant equity

have registered a return of +15.86% to the Fund as a whole for the nancial
year under review. A full review of the performance of the equity markets is
tabled in the following sections.
Sector Allocations
In terms of sector allocation within the Shariah-compliant equity portfolio, the
top 5 sectors account for 64.2% of the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the Fund and
71.3% of the Funds Shariah-compliant equity portfolio. The weightings of the
top 5 sectors in Malaysia (unless otherwise indicated) are in the following
order: Communications (20.6%), Consumer, Non-cyclical (14.5%), Utilities
(11.0%), Energy (10.5%) and Industrial (7.6%).
Islamic Money Market Portfolio Review
During the nancial year under review, the Funds Islamic money market
portfolio, which was invested primarily in Shariah-based deposits, yielded
a return of +2.94%. In comparison, the 1-Month Islamic Interbank Money
Market Rate (1M-IIMMR) registered a return of +3.09% over the same period.
During the nancial year under review, the Funds exposure to the Islamic
money market investments increased from 9.4% to 13.6% following the
disposal of selected Shariah-compliant equity investments. Based on an
average exposure of 7.04%, the Islamic money market portfolio is estimated
to have contributed +0.21% to the Funds overall returns for the nancial
year under review.
Stock Market Review
Commencing the nancial year under review at 10,957.26 points, the FTSE
Bursa Malaysia EMAS Shariah (FBMS) Index rose towards the end of 2012
amid positive sentiment in regional markets and further strengthened to a
high of 11,590.89 points in early January 2013 before prot-taking caused the
market to ease to the years low of 10,935.32 points in early February 2013.
The FBMS Index subsequently rebounded beginning from mid-March 2013
on selected buying and broke above the 12,500-point level in mid-May 2013.
Cautious offshore sentiment and Fitch Ratings downgrade of Malaysias
sovereign outlook caused the market to fall below 12,500 points in late July
2013. A sell-down in emerging markets over their weakening current account
balances caused the FBMS Index to ease to a 3-month low of 11,722.02
points in late August 2013 before subsequently rebounding in tandem with
global equity markets on the back of the U.S. Federal Reserves decision
to delay tapering its monetary stimulus program in mid-September 2013.
Global equity markets pulled back in early October 2013 amidst the partial
shutdown of the U.S. governments operations and the debt ceiling deadline
before rallying in mid-October 2013 on the resolution of the U.S. budget.
Expectations that Malaysias 2014 Budget would address concerns about
Malaysias scal sustainability helped the local market to register a new all-
time high of 12,785.27 points in late October 2013. Malaysias better-than-
expected 3Q 2013 GDP growth helped the local market to remain rm in
November 2013 and the FBMS Index closed at 12,734.18 points to register
a gain of 16.22% for the nancial year under review.
Starting the nancial year under review at 81.07 points, regional equity
markets as proxied by the S&P Shariah BMI Asia Ex-Japan (S&P SAEJ)
Index rose in December 2012 on improving outlook for Chinas economy and
commenced 2013 on a positive note in tandem with gains in global equity
markets. Renewed economic uncertainty in the Eurozone and concerns over
the impending automatic government spending cuts in the U.S. caused the
index to remain in a trading range in 1Q 2013 and early 2Q 2013.
Subsequently, the S&P SAEJ Index rose to a high of 85.80 points in mid-May
2013 before retracing in June 2013 after the Federal Reserve stated that the
quantitative easing program may be scaled down. The Index rebounded to
around the 80-point level in July 2013 before retreating in late August 2013
amidst a sell-down in emerging markets over their weakening current account
balances. The Index subsequently rebounded in tandem with global equity
markets on the back of the U.S. Federal Reserves decision to delay tapering
its monetary stimulus program in mid-September 2013.
Regional equity markets pulled back in early October 2013 amidst the partial
shutdown of the U.S. governments operations and debt ceiling deadline
before rallying to a new 2-year high of 87.13 points in late October 2013.
Optimism from the sweeping economic reforms outlined by China and positive
U.S. economic data helped the Index to remain rm in November 2013 and
the S&P SAEJ Index closed at 86.22 points to register a gain of 6.35%
(+12.77% in Ringgit terms) for the nancial year under review.
Regional markets, namely the South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand
and Hong Kong markets registered returns of +15.47%, +14.43%, +7.74%,
+3.90% and +1.31% (in Ringgit terms) respectively for the nancial year
under review.

Money Market Review
Short-term interest rates remained generally stable as Bank Negara Malaysia
kept the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 3.00%, unchanged since May 2011.
The 1-Month Islamic Interbank Money Market Rate inched up from 3.07%
to 3.11% during the nancial year under review.
Economic Review
Malaysias GDP growth rose to 5.6% in 2012 from 5.1% in 2011 on account
of resilient private consumption and investment growth. Subsequently, the
economy slowed to 4.5% in the rst three quarters of 2013 amidst lower
growth in the services and manufacturing sectors. The construction sectors
growth eased to 11.3% from 18.1% over the same period.
Source: Bank Negara Malaysia
On the regional front, Singapores GDP growth rebounded to 3.5% for the
rst three quarters of 2013 from 1.3% in 2012 due to stronger services sector
activities. Following a growth of 6.5% in 2012, Thailands GDP growth eased
to 3.6% over the rst three quarters of 2013 as consumption and investment
growth decelerated.
Chinas GDP growth was sustained at 7.7% for the rst three quarters of 2013
which was the same rate of growth in 2012 amid resilient domestic activities.
Hong Kongs GDP growth accelerated to 3.0% over the same period from
1.5% in 2012 as consumer spending growth recovered. Led by a recovery
in investment spending, Koreas GDP growth gained pace to 2.4% for the
rst three quarters of 2013 from 2.0% in 2012. For Taiwan, GDP growth
rebounded to 1.9% in the rst three quarters of 2013 from 1.3% in 2012 due
to stronger manufacturing and construction activities.
On the international front, growth of the U.S. economy moderated to 1.5% for
the rst three quarters of 2013 from 2.8% in 2012 on the back of a slowdown in
investment spending and a decline in government spending. The Eurozones
GDP contracted by 0.7% for the rst three quarters of 2013 which was the
same rate of decline in 2012 amidst sluggish investment spending.
Outlook and Investment Strategy
After remaining generally resilient in 1Q 2013, regional equity markets
generally eased in early 2Q 2013 as demand for emerging market stocks
was dampened by the Federal Reserves intention to scale back its monetary
stimulus program in the later part of 2013. However, following the U.S.
Federal Reserves decision to maintain its Quantitative Easing program,
regional markets rebounded in September. Looking ahead, the direction
of global and regional markets will depend on the pace of global economic
growth in the year ahead.
Depending on the impact of higher interest rates on consumer and investment
spending, the U.S. economy is expected to grow at 2.6% in 2014 compared to
1.7% estimated for 2013 on the back of the ongoing recovery in the housing
and job markets in the year ahead.
Source: Bank Negara Malaysia/Ministry of Finance
Led by lower exports of electrical and electronics goods and weak commodity
prices, Malaysias exports contracted by 0.2% for the rst nine months of
2013 versus a growth of 0.7% in 2012. Import growth was sustained at 5.5%
for the rst nine months of 2013 versus 5.8% in 2012. As imports outpaced
exports, Malaysias cumulative trade surplus for the rst nine months of
2013 narrowed by 37.4% to RM43.2 billion compared to RM69.0 billion in
the same period last year. Due to the positive trade surplus and fund inows,
Malaysias foreign reserves increased to RM446.2 billion as at end of October
2013 from RM427.2 billion at the end of 2012.
Malaysias ination rate inched up to 1.9% in the rst ten months of 2013
compared to 1.7% in 2012 on account of higher prices for food, tobacco
and transportation. However, the core ination rate was sustained at 1.2%
over the same period.

The Eurozones economy is envisaged to register a modest recovery of 1.0%
in 2014 after a contraction of 0.3% estimated for 2013 as investment and
exports strengthen. The Eurozones real consumer spending has beneted
from the recent easing of inationary pressures while exports have also
stabilised.
On the regional front, Chinas GDP is projected to grow at a slower pace of
7.4% in 2014 compared to 7.8% estimated for 2013 as manufacturing and
construction activities continue to moderate. In the event of a steeper-than-
expected slowdown in external demand, the Chinese government has the
exibility to apply moderate scal stimulus to support domestic economic
growth. Over in Hong Kong, GDP growth is projected to gain pace to 3.5%
in 2014 from 3.0% in 2013 on expectations that the economy will benet
from the recovery in regional trade.
Meanwhile, an improvement in global demand for electronics exports is
expected to help South Korea and Taiwan register stronger GDP growth of
3.5% and 3.6% respectively in 2014 compared to 2.7% and 2.5% respectively
in 2013.
For Singapore, GDP is projected to gain pace to 3.7% in 2014 from 2.6%
estimated for 2013 as consumer spending and export demand recover in the
year ahead. Thailands GDP growth is projected at 4.5% in 2014 compared
to 3.3% estimated for 2013 on higher private consumer spending. The
anticipated recovery in regional trade coupled with the competitive Thai baht
is envisaged to help lift Thailands exports in the year ahead.
On the domestic front, Malaysias 2014 GDP growth is anticipated to rm
moderately to 5.0% from 4.7% estimated for 2013 amid an improvement in
exports. Private consumption is envisaged to be supported by an environment
of accommodative interest rates and stable job market conditions.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Finance projected the 2014 Federal Government
budget decit to improve to -3.5% of GDP from -4.0% estimated for 2013.
With effect from 1 April 2015, the government will replace the current
Sales & Services Tax with a 6% Goods & Services Tax (GST). The Federal
Governments revenue is projected to grow by 1.7% in 2014 while total
expenditure is envisaged to be slightly higher by 0.3%. The Federal
Governments debt is estimated to increase by 7.9% to RM541.3 billion
which is equivalent to 54.8% of GDP as at end-2013 compared to 53.3%
of GDP as at end-2012.
At the end of November 2013, the local stock market is trading at a
prospective P/E of 17.2x, which is above its 10-year average P/E ratio of
16.5x. The markets dividend yield of 3.41% is higher than the 12-month
xed deposit rate of 3.15%.
Regional markets are generally trading at a discount to their historical average
following their respective performances over the nancial year under review.
Given the above factors, the Fund will continue to rebalance its investment
portfolio accordingly with the objective of achieving capital growth by investing
in stocks which comply with Shariah requirements.

Managers and Trustees responsibility for the nancial statements
The Manager of the Fund is responsible for the preparation of nancial
statements so as to give a true and fair view in accordance with Malaysian
Financial Reporting Standards and International Financial Reporting
Standards. The Manager is also responsible for such internal control as
the Manager determines is necessary to enable the preparation of nancial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error. The Trustee is responsible for ensuring that the Manager maintains
proper accounting and other records as are necessary to enable true and
fair presentation of these nancial statements.
Auditors responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these nancial statements
based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with approved
standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply
with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the nancial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the nancial statements. The procedures
selected depend on our judgement, including the assessment of risks of
material misstatement of the nancial statements, whether due to fraud
or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control
relevant to the Funds preparation of the nancial statements that give a
true and fair view 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 Funds internal control. An audit also includes evaluating
the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of accounting estimates made by the Manager, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the nancial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufcient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Notes To The Financial Statements
30 November 2013
1. The Fund, The Manager and Their Principal Activities
The Public Islamic Alpha-40 Growth Fund (hereinafter referred
to as the Fund) was set up pursuant to the execution of a
Supplemental Master Deed dated 12 November 2009 between the
Manager, Public Mutual Berhad, the Trustee, AmanahRaya Trustees
Berhad and the registered unitholders of the Fund. The Fund is
governed by a Master Deed dated 28 January 1999 and subsequent
Supplemental Master Deeds (collectively referred to as Deeds).
The Funds objective is to seek to achieve capital growth by investing in
up to a maximum of 40 stocks which comply with Shariah requirements.
The Fund invests in investments as dened in the Deeds. The Fund
was launched on 16 November 2010 and will continue its operations
until terminated by the Trustee as provided in the Master Deed.
The Manager of the Fund is Public Mutual Berhad, a company
incorporated in Malaysia. Its principal activities are the management of
unit trusts and the sale of trust units. Its ultimate holding company is Public
Bank Berhad, a licensed bank incorporated in Malaysia and listed on the
Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (Bursa Malaysia).
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Preparation
The nancial statements of the Fund have been prepared under
the historical cost convention, as modied by the revaluation of
nancial assets and nancial liabilities at fair value and comply
with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (MFRS) and
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
(b) First time Adoption of MFRS
For the periods up to and including the nancial year ended
30 November 2012, the Fund prepared its nancial statements
in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards in Malaysia
(FRS). These financial statements, for the financial year
ended 30 November 2013 are the Funds rst nancial statements
prepared in accordance with MFRS; and MFRS 1 - First Time
Adoption of Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards has been
applied. In preparing these nancial statements, the Funds
opening Statement of Assets and Liabilities was prepared as at
1 December 2011, the date of transition to MFRS.
The Fund has applied the exemption provided by MFRS 1 to
designate all its investments held at the date of transition at fair
value through prot or loss. An explanation of how the transition
from FRS to MFRS has affected the Funds Statement of Income
and Expenditure is set out below. The transition from FRS to
MFRS has no impact on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities
and Statement of Cash Flows.

(c) Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of the Funds nancial statements requires the
Manager to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the reporting
date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates
could result in outcome that could require a material adjustment to
the carrying amount of an asset or a liability in the future.
There are no major judgements nor key assumptions concerning
the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the
reporting date, that may cast signicant doubt upon the Funds
ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the nancial
statements continue to be prepared on the going concern basis.
(d) Financial Assets and Liabilities
Financial assets and nancial liabilities are recognised in the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities when, and only when, the Fund
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
i) Financial Assets
The Fund determines the classication of its nancial assets
at initial recognition, and the categories include nancial
assets at fair value through prot or loss (FVTPL) and loans
and receivables.
When nancial assets are recognised initially on trade date,
they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of nancial
assets not at FVTPL, directly attributable transaction costs.
Financial assets are derecognised on trade date when the
rights to receive cash ows from the investments have expired
or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards
of ownership.
30 November 2013
(d) Financial Assets and Liabilities (contd)
i) Financial Assets (contd)
Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets are classied as nancial assets at
FVTPL if they are held for trading or are designated as
such upon initial recognition. Financial assets held for
trading are those acquired principally for the purpose of
selling in the near term. Subsequent to initial recognition,
nancial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value.
Changes in the fair value of those nancial instruments
are recorded in Net gain or loss on nancial assets
at FVTPL. Interest earned and dividend revenue
elements of such instruments are recorded separately
in Interest income and Dividend income respectively.
Exchange differences on nancial assets at FVTPL are
not recognised separately in prot or loss but are included
in net gain or net loss on changes in fair value of nancial
assets at FVTPL.
Loans and Receivables
The Fund does not have any loans throughout the
nancial year. Financial assets with xed or determinable
payments that are not quoted in an active market are
classied as receivables. Such receivables include
amount due from brokers/nancial institutions, amount
due from the Manager and other receivables. Subsequent
to initial recognition, these are measured at amortised
cost.
For nancial assets carried at amortised cost, the Fund
assesses at each reporting date whether there is any
objective evidence that a nancial asset is impaired. If any
such evidence exists, the amount of impairment loss is
measured as the difference between the assets carrying
amount and the present value of estimated future cash
ows discounted at the nancial assets original effective
interest rate. The carrying amount of the nancial asset
is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in
prot or loss with the exception of receivables.
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
prot or loss.
30 November 2013
(d) Financial Assets and Liabilities (contd)
ii) Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are classied according to the substance of
the contractual arrangements entered into and the denitions
of a nancial liability.
Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and
subsequently stated at amortised cost. The Fund includes
in this category amount due to brokers/nancial institutions,
amounts due to the Manager and the Trustee, and other
payables. A nancial liability is derecognised when it is settled.
(e) Foreign Currency
i) Functional and presentation currency
The nancial statements of the Fund are measured using
the currency of the primary economic environment in which
the Fund operates (the functional currency). The nancial
statements are presented in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), which
is also the Funds functional currency.
ii) Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are measured and recorded
in the functional currency of the Fund on initial recognition at
exchange rates approximating those ruling at the transaction
dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at
the reporting date. Non-monetary items denominated in
foreign currencies that are measured at historical cost are
translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the
initial recognition.
Exchange differences arising from translation of monetary
items at the reporting date are recognised in prot or loss.
Exchange differences arising from the translation of non-
monetary nancial assets at FVTPL are included in prot
or loss.
(f) Unitholders Capital
The Unitholders contributions to the Fund meet the denition of
puttable instruments and are classied as equity instruments.
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.
(g) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at banks and
Mudharabah deposits with nancial institutions which have an
insignicant risk of changes in value.
30 November 2013
(h) Income
Income is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow to the Fund and the income can
be reliably measured. Income is measured at the fair value of
consideration received or receivable.
Dividend income is recognised when the Funds right to receive
payment is established.
Prot from Mudharabah deposits, income from sukuk, accretion
of discount and amortisation of premium are recognised using the
effective interest method.
(i) Taxation
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount
expected to be recovered from or paid to the tax authorities. The
tax rate and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that
are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. The
Fund also incurs foreign withholding taxes imposed by certain
countries on dividend and interest income derived from foreign
nancial instruments.
(j) Interest from Foreign Currency Accounts
A portion of the cash is maintained in foreign currency accounts
outside Malaysia to facilitate the settlement of purchase and selling
of foreign securities in a particular country. Interest earned, if any,
from these accounts is not recognised as income to the Fund. Such
interest will be channelled to charitable bodies as part of the Funds
cleansing process in line with the advice of the Shariah Adviser.
(k) Related Parties
Related parties refer to Public Bank Berhad and its subsidiaries.
3. Financial Risk and Capital Management Policies
The Fund is exposed to a variety of nancial risks, which include
market risk (such as price risk and currency risk), credit risk, single
issuer risk, liquidity risk and reclassication of Shariah status risk. The
overall nancial risk management objective of the Fund is to mitigate
capital loss.
Financial risk management is carried out through policy reviews,
internal control systems and adherence to the investment powers and
restrictions stipulated in the Securities Commissions Guidelines on Unit
Trust Funds in Malaysia.
(a) Market Risk
Market risk arises when the value of the securities uctuates in
response to the activities of individual companies, and general
market or economic environments. Market risk is managed
through portfolio diversication and changes in asset allocation.
It comprises the following risks:
30 November 2013
3. Financial Risk and Capital Management Policies (contd)
(a) Market Risk (contd)
i) Price Risk
Price risk is the risk that prices of equity securities and
collective investment funds rise or fall as a result of changes
in factors specic to a particular security or general market
conditions.
The increase/(decrease) in the NAV attributable to unitholders
as at reporting date, assuming equity and collective investment
funds prices change by +/(-) 5% with all other variables held
constant, is +/(-) MYR3,500,000 (2012: +/(-) MYR4,012,000).
This analysis is for illustration purpose only and not an
indication of future variances.
ii) Currency Risk
The Fund invests in nancial instruments denominated in
currencies other than its functional currency. Consequently,
the Fund is exposed to risks arising from changes in the
exchange rate of its functional currency relative to other
foreign currencies that might signicantly impact the value of
the Funds assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other
than Malaysian Ringgit.
The increase/(decrease) in the NAV attributable to unitholders
as at reporting date, assuming exchange rates of foreign
currencies uctuate by +/(-) 5% with all other variables held
constant, is +/(-) MYR554,000 (2012: +/(-) MYR650,000). This
analysis is for illustration purpose only and not an indication
of future variances.
(b) Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer or a counterparty to make
timely payments of prot, principals and proceeds from realisation of
investments. The Fund invests only in debt securities with at least
investment grade credit rating by the relevant credit rating agencies.
The Manager manages credit risk by setting counterparty limits and
undertaking credit evaluation to assess such risk.
(c) Single Issuer Risk
The Fund is restricted to invest in securities issued by any issuer
of not more than a certain percentage of its net asset value. Under
such restriction, the exposure risk to the securities of a single
issuer is minimised.
(d) Liquidity Risk
The Fund maintains a sufcient level of liquid assets to meet
anticipated payments and redemption by unitholders. Liquid
assets comprise cash, Mudharabah deposits with licensed nancial
institutions and other instruments, which can be converted into cash
within 7 days. The Funds policy is to maintain a prudent level of
liquid assets and monitoring of the daily creation and cancellation
of units so as to manage liquidity risk.
30 November 2013
3. Financial Risk and Capital Management Policies (contd)
(d) Liquidity Risk (contd)
The Funds nancial liabilities have contractual maturities of not
more than six (6) months.
(e) Reclassification of Shariah Status Risk
The currently held Shariah-compliant securities in the portfolio
of Shariah-based funds may be reclassied to be Shariah non-
compliant in the periodic review of the securities by the Shariah
Advisory Council of the Securities Commission (SACSC), the
Shariah Adviser or the Shariah Boards of the relevant Islamic
Indices. If this occurs, the value of the Fund may be adversely
affected where the Manager will take the necessary steps to dispose
of such securities in accordance with the advice from the SACSC
and/or the Shariah Adviser.
(f) Capital Management
The capital is represented by unitholders subscription to the Fund.
The amount of capital can change signicantly on a daily basis
as the Fund is subject to daily redemption and subscription at
the discretion of unitholders. The Manager manages the Funds
capital in accordance to its objective as stated in Note 1, while
maintaining sufcient liquidity to meet unitholders redemption as
explained in Note (d) above.
