MARKET REVIEW (1 FEBRUARY 2018 TO 31 JULY 2018)

Fixed Income

During the financial period under review, Bank Negara Malaysia’s (“BNM”) Monetary Policy
Committee (“MPC”) met three times from the month of February 2018 up to the end of July 2018.
There were no changes to the Overnight Policy Rate (“OPR”) throughout the six months following the
last rate hike in January 2018. At the last MPC meeting on 11 July 2018, the MPC stated that the
positive growth performance of the Malaysian economy is expected to be sustained, driven by both
domestic and external demand. However, the MPC’s statement was a bit dovish as it mentioned that
the balance of risks to the global growth outlook in Asia has slightly tilted to the downside due to the
global trade tensions. They remain positive on the local economic outlook and stated that the
domestic financial markets have remained resilient despite non-resident portfolio outflows.

In terms of inflation, headline inflation averaged at 3.7% in 2017. In June 2018, the Consumer Price
Index (“CPI”) rose by 0.8% in comparison to June 2017. This was the first time within 40 months that
the CPI recorded a value of below 1.0%. We believe this was due to the Government’s
announcement on the abolishment of the Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) to zero starting on 1 June
2018. Overall, CPI increased by 2.7% in January 2018 and eased lower to c.1.4% between the
months of February 2018 to April 2018. It spiked up slightly in May 2018 to 1.8% before settling much
lower as mentioned above in June 2018. It is expected to average lower in 2018, on expectations of a
smaller effect from global cost factors.

CIMB-PRINCIPAL PRS PLUS GROWTH

MARKET REVIEW (1 FEBRUARY 2018 TO 31 JULY 2018) (CONTINUED)

Fixed Income (continued)

The Malaysian economy grew 5.4% year-on-year (“y-o-y”) in the first quarter ended 31 March 2018
and 4.5% y-o-y in the second quarter ended 30 June 2018. Supply disruptions resulted in slower
economic growth in the second quarter. The growth in the second quarter continued to be supported
by private sector activity but commodity-specific shocks affected growth slightly. On a quarter-on-
quarter (“q-o-q”) basis, the economy grew by 0.3%. Following the release of the second quarter
Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) numbers, the Central Bank brought down its full year growth
forecast to 5.0% from the earlier 5.5% - 6.0% range.

The Malaysian 14th General Elections were held on 9 May 2018. The elections saw the Barisan
Nasional party being ousted from power for the first time since the country gained independence. It is
expected that BNM may revise its forecast for the country’s GDP growth once details of the new set
of economic initiatives are released by the Council of Eminent Persons. It is expected that the
changes to the GST would also likely affect inflation.

On the external front, the US Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) raised interest rates twice during the
financial period under review. They raised interest rates by 25 basis points (“bps”) at the Federal
Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) meetings held in March 2018 and June 2018. In the last FOMC
statement released, they changed multiple phrases from its previous missives, pointing to a more
optimistic view on economic growth and higher inflation expectations. They also indicated a very high
likelihood of two more rate increases in 2018.

Foreign Equity

The Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country (“MSCI AC”) Asia Pacific Ex Japan Index fell by
7.4% in Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”) terms over the six months financial period under review. In US
Dollar (“USD”) terms, the Index fell by 10.7%.

After peaking in January 2018, the markets corrected on US-China trade war fears, concerns over
slowdown in global growth, with global Purchasing Managers’ Index (“PMI”) declining. The sectors
that outperformed in the first quarter of 2018 were China Real Estate, Singapore Financials and
China Utilities. Meanwhile, the markets that outperformed were Taiwan, Thailand and Malaysia. The
US-China trade tensions escalated in the second quarter of 2018 when President Trump released a
final list of tariffs on USD50 billion worth of Chinese imports and threatened a potential 10% tariff on
an additional USD200 billion worth of Chinese imports, while China retaliated by introducing 25%
tariffs on USD34 billion of US imports. Concerns over the magnitude of the slowdown in economic
growth in China in the second half of 2018 loomed in the minds of investors as the total social
financing growth slowed significantly in the second quarter of 2018. The Chinese Government
continued its deleveraging stance which is putting a strain on economic growth. Sentiment turned
negative and there was a massive sell-off in China equities which slumped more than 17% as
measured by the China Securities Index (“CSI”) 300 Index in local currency terms for the six months
ending July 2018. The Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“RMB”) also saw a sharp depreciation from mid June
2018 to end at RMB6.82 against USD in July 2018. The earnings downgrade especially in technology
sector also added to market jittery. Consequently, commodities in general also declined, with copper
falling by almost 16% from the recent peak. On the other hand, oil prices were stronger and ended
closer to USD70 per barrel for the financial period under review as the supply discipline by
Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) continued and there was an expectation
of increased tightness due to possible sanctions on Venezuela and Iran. In the second quarter of
2018, the sectors that outperformed were Australian Energy and Healthcare as well as China Energy.
In July 2018, China continued to underperform and RMB depreciated further. Association of
Southeast Asian Nations (“ASEAN”) performed well in July 2018, with fund inflows to Thailand,
Philippines and Indonesia.

The Fund was fully invested during the six months financial period under review. The Fund’s uoted

32.15% as at the end of July 2018. A minimal level of liquid assets was maintained primarily for
redemption purposes.

MARKET OUTLOOK*

Fixed Income

In the 14th Malaysia General Elections, the Pakatan Harapan coalition defeated the ruling Barisan Nasional
coalition by a simple majority. Post-elections, the MPC kept the OPR at 3.25% as widely-expected. In March
2018, BNM raised its forecast for Malaysia’s economic growth to 5.5% - 6.0% from 5.0% - 5.5% previously.
However, they have revised their forecast to 5.0% following the release of the second quarter GDP growth
figure.

Overall, we expect the Central Bank to maintain OPR at 3.25% for the remainder of 2018. We also expect
headline inflation to moderate this year in line with the Central Bank’s view. We foresee an increase in near
term volatility following the change in Government as well as pockets of policy uncertainty. That being said, we
believe there may be long term gains following this short term volatility.

Foreign Equity

In the near term, the stock market outlook in Asia is clouded by the escalating trade war the
deleveraging exercise undertaken by China which is causing the economy to slow and the tightening
monetary policy in the US which is causing Asian/EM currencies to fall. This is likely to dampen
investor enthusiasm for Asian equities. However, we remain positive on the outlook for the Asian
stock markets in the longer run. We expect the trade tensions to be resolved eventually while we also
expect the growth in China to be stable and on a better footing as the deleveraging exercise continue.
The Asian stock markets remain attractive due to the numerous growth opportunities available to the
investors. Asia remains a fast growing region supported by a young, growing population with
increasing urbanisation and innovations.

CIMB-PRINCIPAL PRS PLUS GROWTH

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

Fixed Income

In line with the cautious investor sentiment, we have a preference for high quality corporate bonds
with strong fundamentals versus government bonds for better yield pick-up and better total return.

Foreign Equity

As we expect growth in Asia to be positive in the medium to long-term, the Fund shall remain well
invested. The Fund shall focus on growth companies involved in the Information technology,
consumer discretionary, financial and the materials sectors. However, the Portfolio may hold more
defensive stocks in the short term than usual due to the volatility and near term headwinds as
described.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


FOR THE SIX MONTHS FINANCIAL PERIOD ENDED 31 JULY 2018

1. THE FUND, THE PRS PROVIDER AND ITS PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY

CIMB-Principal PRS Plus Growth (the “Fund”) is governed by a Deed dated 8 November
2012, a First Supplemental Deed dated 2 January 2014 and a Second Supplemental Deed
dated 25 November 2014 (collectively referred to as the “Deeds”) made between CIMB-
Principal Asset Management Berhad (the “PRS Provider”) and Deutsche Trustee Malaysia
Berhad (the “Trustee”).

The Fund offers three classes of units known respectively as Class A, Class C and Class X. In
accordance with the Disclosure Document, Class A and Class C are for members who have
attained the age 18 years as of the date of opening a private pension account. Class A and C
have different management fee. Class X is for members who participate via respective
employers and is subject to a minimum of 200 participating employees per employer or 50
participating employees under payroll deduction per employer.

The Fund will invest in a portfolio of mixed assets, primarily in equities with some exposure in
Fixed Income Instruments, to provide capital growth to the Fund.

The investments by the Fund in equities which include foreign exposure shall not exceed 70%
of the Fund’s NAV and investments in both local and foreign Fixed Income Instruments shall
not be less than 30% of its NAV with a minimum credit rating of “BBB3” or “P2” by RAM or
equivalent rating by MARC or “BBB” by S&P or equivalent rating by Moody’s or Fitch.

The fixed income portion will provide capital stability to the Fund whilst the equity portion will
provide the added return in a rising market. The Fund may opt to invest in Fixed Income
Instruments and equities either directly or via collective investment schemes.

All investments are subjected to the Securities Commission Malaysia’s (“SC”) Guidelines on
PRS, SC requirements, the Deeds, except where exemptions or variations have been
approved by the SC, internal policies and procedures and the Fund’s objective.

The Manager, a company incorporated in Malaysia, is jointly owned by CIMB Group Sdn Bhd
and Principal International (Asia) Limited. The principal activities of the Manager are the
establishment and management of unit trust funds and fund management activities.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following accounting policies have been used consistently in dealing with items which are
considered material in relation to the financial statements:

(a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the
MFRS and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as
modified by financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

19
CIMB-PRINCIPAL PRS PLUS GROWTH

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(a) Basis of preparation (continued)

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with MFRS and IFRS requires the
use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reported period.

It also requires the PRS Provider to exercise their judgment in the process of applying
the Fund’s accounting policies. Although these estimates and assumptions are based
on the PRS Provider’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results
may differ.

The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where


assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in
Note 2(k).

Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing


standards that are effective:

The Fund has applied the following amendments for the first time for the financial
period beginning 1 February 2018:

 MFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (effective from 1 January 2018) will replace


MFRS 139 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement

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

(b) Financial assets and financial liabilities

Classification

The Fund designates its investments in collective investment schemes, quoted


securities and unquoted fixed income securities as financial assets at fair value
through profit or loss at inception.

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

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable
payments that are not quoted in an active market and have been included in current
assets. The Fund’s loans and receivables comprise cash and cash equivalents, and
amount due from the PRS Provider and dividend receivable.

Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual


arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability.

The Fund classifies amount due to the PRS Provider and other payables and accruals
as other financial liabilities.

20
CIMB-PRINCIPAL PRS PLUS GROWTH

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(b) Financial assets and financial liabilities (continued)

Recognition and measurement

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade-date, the
date on which the Fund commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially
recognised at fair value. Transaction costs are expensed in the statement of
comprehensive income.

Financial liabilities, within the scope of MFRS 139, are recognised in the statement of
financial position when, and only when, the Fund becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the financial instrument.

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

Financial liabilities are derecognised when it is extinguished, i.e. when the obligation
specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expired.

Unrealised gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets
at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the statement of comprehensive
income within net gain or loss on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss in
the financial period which they arise.

Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised
in the statement of comprehensive income as part of gross dividend income when the
Fund’s right to receive payments is established.

Collective investment schemes are valued based on the most recent published NAV
per unit or share of such collective investment schemes or, if unavailable, on the last
published price of such unit or share (excluding any sales charge included in such
selling price).

Quoted securities in Malaysia are valued at the last done market price quoted on
Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd (“Bursa Securities”) at the date of the statement of
financial position.

Foreign quoted securities are valued at the last traded market price quoted on the
respective foreign stock exchanges at the close of the business day of the respective
foreign stock exchanges.

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

21
CIMB-PRINCIPAL PRS PLUS GROWTH

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(b) Financial assets and financial liabilities (continued)

Recognition and measurement (continued)

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

Unquoted fixed income securities denominated in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”) are


revalued on a daily basis based on fair value prices quoted by a Bond Pricing Agency
(“BPA”) registered with the SC as per the SC Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds. Refer to
Note 2(k) for further explanation.

Deposits with licensed financial institutions are stated at cost plus accrued interest
calculated on the effective interest method over the period from the date of placement
to the date of maturity of the respective deposits.

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

Impairment for assets carried at amortised costs

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

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

As a practical expedient, the Fund may measure impairment on the basis of an


instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.

If, in a subsequent financial period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and
the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was
recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the
previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in statement of comprehensive
income.

When an asset is uncollectible, it is written off against the related allowance account.
Such assets are written off after all the necessary procedures have been completed
and the amount of the loss has been determined.

22
CIMB-PRINCIPAL PRS PLUS GROWTH

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(c) Income recognition

Dividend income is recognised on the ex-dividend date when the right to receive
payment is established.

Interest income from deposits with licensed financial institutions and unquoted fixed
income securities are recognised on a time proportionate basis using the effective
interest rate method on an accrual basis.

Realised gain or loss on disposal of collective investment schemes and quoted


securities are accounted for as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and
the carrying amount of collective investment schemes and quoted securities,
determined on a weighted average cost basis.

Realised gain or loss on disposal of unquoted fixed income securities is accounted for
as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of
unquoted fixed income securities, determined on cost adjusted for accretion of
discount or amortisation of premium.

(d) Foreign currency

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Fund are measured using the
currency of the primary economic environment in which the Fund operates (the
“functional currency”). The financial statements are presented in RM, which is the
Fund’s functional and presentation currency.

Due to mixed factors in determining the functional currency of the Fund, the PRS
Provider has used its judgement to determine the functional currency that most
faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions, events and
conditions and have determined the functional currency to be in RM primarily due to
the following factors:

i) The Fund's units are denominated in RM.


ii) Significant portion of the Fund’s expenses are denominated in RM.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the
exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are
remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such
transactions and from the translation at financial period-end exchange rates of
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in
statement of comprehensive income.

23
CIMB-PRINCIPAL PRS PLUS GROWTH

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(e) Creation and cancellation of units

The members’ contributions to the Fund meet the definition of puttable instruments
classified as financial liability under MFRS 132 “Financial Instruments: Presentation”.

The Fund issues cancellable units, in three classes of units, known respectively as the
Class A, Class C and Class X, which are cancelled at the member’s option and do not
have identical features subject to restrictions as stipulated in the Disclosure Document
and SC Guidelines on PRS. The units are classified as financial liabilities. Cancellable
units can be put back to the Fund at any time for cash equal to a proportionate share
of the Fund’s NAV of respective classes. The outstanding units are carried at the
redemption amount that is payable at the date of the statement of financial position if
the member exercises the right to put back the unit to the Fund.

Units are created and cancelled at the member’s option at prices based on the Fund’s
NAV per unit of respective classes at the close of business on the relevant dealing
day. The Fund’s NAV per unit of respective classes is calculated by dividing the net
assets attributable to members of respective classes with the total number of
outstanding units of respective classes.

(f) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise bank
balances and deposits held in highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to
known amounts of cash and which are subjected to an insignificant risk of changes in
value.

(g) Taxation

Current tax expense is determined according to Malaysian tax laws at the current rate
based upon the taxable profit earned during the financial period.

Tax on dividend income from foreign quoted securities is based on the tax regime of
the respective countries that the Fund invests in.

(h) Increase/Decrease in net assets attributable to members

Income not distributed is included in net assets attributable to members.

(i) Transaction costs

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

(j) Segment information

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting
used by the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker is
responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating
segments.

24
CIMB-PRINCIPAL PRS PLUS GROWTH

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(k) Critical accounting estimates and judgments in applying accounting policies

The Fund makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting
accounting estimates will, by definition, rarely equal the related actual results. To
enhance the information content of the estimates, certain key variables that are
anticipated to have material impact to the Fund’s results and financial position are
tested for sensitivity to changes in the underlying parameters.

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated by the PRS Provider and are
based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future
events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Estimate of fair value of unquoted fixed income securities

In undertaking any of the Fund’s investment, the Manager will ensure that all assets of
the Fund under management will be valued appropriately, that is at fair value and in
compliance with the SC Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds.

Ringgit-denominated unquoted fixed income securities are valued using fair value
prices quoted by a BPA. Where the Manager is of the view that the price quoted by
BPA for a specific unquoted fixed income securities differs from the market price by
more than 20 bps, the Manager may use market price, provided that the Manager
records its basis for using a non-BPA price, obtains necessary internal approvals to
use the non-BPA price, and keeps an audit trail of all decisions and basis for adopting
the use of non-BPA price.

25
CIMB-PRINCIPAL PRS PLUS GROWTH

3. RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Fund seeks to provide capital growth over the long-term by investing in a portfolio of
primarily equities with some exposure in fixed income instruments.

The Fund is exposed to a variety of risks which include market risk (inclusive of price risk,
interest rate risk and currency risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

Financial risk management is carried out through internal control process adopted by the PRS
Provider and adherence to the investment restrictions as stipulated in the Deeds and SC
Guidelines on PRS.

(a) Market risk

(i) Price risk

This is the risk that the fair value of investments in collective investment
schemes, quoted securities and unquoted fixed income securities will fluctuate
because of changes in market prices. The value of investments may fluctuate
according to the activities of individual companies, sector and overall political
and economic conditions. Such fluctuation may cause the Fund’s NAV and
prices of units to fall as well as rise, and income produced by the Fund may
also fluctuate.
The price risk is managed through diversification and selection of collective
investment schemes, quoted securities, unquoted fixed income securities and
other financial instruments within specified limits according to the Deeds.

(ii) Interest rate risk

In general, when interest rates rise, unquoted fixed income securities prices will
tend to fall and vice versa. Therefore, the NAV of the Fund may also tend to fall
when interest rates rise or are expected to rise. However, investors should be
aware that should the Fund holds an unquoted fixed income securities till
maturity, such price fluctuations would dissipate as it approaches maturity, and
thus the growth of the NAV shall not be affected at maturity. In order to mitigate
interest rates exposure of the Fund, the PRS Provider will manage the duration
of the portfolio via shorter or longer tenured assets depending on the view of
the future interest rate trend of the PRS Provider, which is based on its
continuous fundamental research and analysis.

Investors should note that the movement in prices of unquoted fixed income
securities and money market instruments are benchmarked against interest
rates. As such, the investments are exposed to the movement of the interest
rates.

This risk is crucial since unquoted fixed income securities portfolio


management depends on forecasting interest rate movements. Prices of
unquoted fixed income securities move inversely to interest rate movements,
therefore as interest rates rise, the prices of unquoted fixed income securities
decrease and vice versa. Furthermore, unquoted fixed income securities with
longer maturity and lower yield interest rates are more susceptible to interest
rate movements.

Such investments may be subject to unanticipated rise in interest rates which


may impair the ability of the issuers to meet the obligation under the
instrument, especially if the issuers are highly leveraged. An increase in
interest rates may therefore increase the potential for default by an issuer.

26
CIMB-PRINCIPAL PRS PLUS GROWTH

3. RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(a) Market risk (continued)

(iii) Currency risk

Currency risk of the Fund is associated with investments that are quoted and/or
priced in foreign currency denomination. Foreign currency risk is the risk that
the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in foreign
exchange rates. The PRS Provider will evaluate the likely directions of a
foreign currency versus RM based on considerations of economic
fundamentals such as interest rate differentials, balance of payments position,
debt levels, and technical chart considerations.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligation
resulting in financial loss to the Fund.

Investment in unquoted fixed income securities may involve a certain degree of


credit/default risk with regards to the issuers. Generally, credit risk or default risk is the
risk of loss due to the issuer’s non-payment or untimely payment of the investment
amount as well as the returns on investment. This will cause a decline in value of the
defaulted unquoted fixed income securities and subsequently depress the NAV of the
Fund. Usually credit risk is more apparent for an investment with a longer tenure, i.e.
the longer the duration, the higher the credit risk.

Credit risk can be managed by performing continuous fundamental credit research and
analysis to ascertain the creditworthiness of its issuer. In addition, the PRS Provider
imposes a minimum rating requirement as rated by either local and/or foreign rating
agencies and manages the duration of the investment in accordance with the objective
of the Fund. For this Fund, the unquoted fixed income securities must satisfy a
minimum rating requirement of at least “BBB3” or “P2” by RAM or equivalent rating by
MARC or “BBB” by S&P or equivalent rating by Moody’s or Fitch.

The credit risk arising from placements of deposits in licensed financial institutions is
managed by ensuring that the Fund will only place deposits in reputable licensed
financial institutions.

For amount due from the PRS Provider, the settlement terms of the proceeds from the
creation of units’ receivable from the PRS Provider are governed by the SC Guidelines
on PRS.

27
CIMB-PRINCIPAL PRS PLUS GROWTH

3. RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(c) Liquidity risk

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

The PRS Provider manages this risk by maintaining sufficient level of liquid assets to
meet anticipated payments and cancellations of the units by members. Liquid assets
comprise bank balances and deposits with licensed financial institutions, which are
capable of being converted into cash within 7 business days. Generally, all
investments are subject to a certain degree of liquidity risk depending on the nature of
the investment instruments, market, sector and other factors. For the purpose of the
Fund, the PRS Provider will attempt to balance the entire portfolio by investing in a mix
of assets with satisfactory trading volume and those that occasionally could encounter
poor liquidity. This is expected to reduce the risks for the entire portfolio without limiting
the Fund’s growth potential.

(d) Capital risk management

The capital of the Fund is represented by net assets attributable to members of


RM43,237,555 (31.01.2018: RM41,323,360). The amount of net assets attributable to
members can change significantly on a daily basis as the Fund is subject to daily
subscriptions and redemptions at the discretion of the members. The Fund’s objective
when managing capital is to safeguard the Fund’s ability to continue as a going
concern in order to provide returns to the members and benefits for other stakeholders
and to maintain a strong capital base to support the development of the investment
activities of the Fund.

(e) Fair value estimation

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

The fair values of financial assets traded in active markets (such as trading securities)
are based on quoted market prices at the close of trading on the financial period end
date. The Fund utilises the last traded market price for financial assets where the last
traded price falls within the bid-ask spread. In circumstances where the last traded
price is not within the bid-ask spread, the PRS Provider will determine the point within
the bid-ask spread that is most representative of the fair value.

28
CIMB-PRINCIPAL PRS PLUS GROWTH

3. RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(e) Fair value estimation (continued)

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

The fair value of financial assets that are not traded in an active market is determined
by using valuation techniques.

(i) Fair value hierarchy

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value. The
different levels have been defined as follows:

 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or


liabilities (Level 1)
 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or
indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (Level 2)
 Inputs for the asset and liability that are not based on observable
market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level 3)

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is
categorised in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input
that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For this purpose,
the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in
its entirety.

If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant


adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a Level 3
measurement.

Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in


its entirety requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or
liability.

The determination of what constitutes ‘observable’ requires significant


judgment by the Fund. The Fund considers observable data to be that market
data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and
verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are
actively involved in the relevant market.

Investments which values are based on quoted market prices in active


markets, and are therefore classified within Level 1, include collective
investments schemes and quoted securities. The Fund does not adjust the
quoted prices for these instruments. The Fund’s policies on valuation of these
financial assets are stated in Note 2(b).

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active
but are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative
pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2.
This includes unquoted fixed income securities. As Level 2 instruments include
positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer
restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-
transferability, which are generally based on available market information. The
Fund’s policies on valuation of these financial assets are stated in Note 2(b).

(ii) The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, amount due from the PRS
Provider, dividend receivable and all current liabilities are a reasonable
approximation of their fair values due to their short term nature.
