The prices of units in a unit trust fund and the income from the Fund may go up as well as down. You should be aware of the risks and returns involved in investing in unit trust funds. 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 4.1.1 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. 4.1.2 Inflation/Purchasing Power Risk This refers to the decline in the purchasing power of the same amount of money over time. Therefore, any return lower than the inflation rate will reduce the value of the investment. 4.1.3 Loan Financing Risk When an investor borrows money to purchase units in a fund, they must be prepared to accept financing risks as the prices of the units can go down as well as up. Such a scenario may occur when the units are used as collateral when obtaining the financing. The investor may be required to provide additional collateral or top up the difference in the event the unit price goes below the margin of advance. 4.1.4 Risk of Non-Compliance The risk that the manager and others associated with the unit trust fund may not follow the rules set out in the unit trust 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. For Shariah-compliant funds, there is a risk that the currently held Shariah-compliant securities in the portfolio of Shariah-compliant funds may be removed from the Shariah-compliant list upon review of the securities by the SAC of SC and/or the Shariah Adviser. If this occurs, the value of the Fund may be adversely affected when the Manager takes the necessary steps to dispose of such securities in accordance with SAC’s advice. 4.2 SPECIFIC RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS 4.2.1 Equity Market Risk The performance of the unit trust 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 in the underlying investment portfolio will affect the value of the fund. However a fund’s diversification into different sectors helps mitigate a fund’s exposure risk to any single asset class. 4.2.2 Stock Specific Risk This risk could be a result of changes to the business performance of the company, consumer tastes and demand, lawsuits, competitive operating environment and management practices. Any major fluctuation of the stock price may affect the NAV of the fund and thus influence the price. This risk can |25 PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 2014/2015 MASTER PROSPECTUS be mitigated through investing in a wide range of companies in different sectors and so function independently from one another. 4.2.3 Liquidity Risk The risk refers to the ease of converting securities into cash at or near its fair value which normally depends on the volume traded on the market. The risk is mitigated through extensive research on stock selection and diversification. 4.2.4 Shariah Status Reclassification Risk This risk refers to the scenario where the Shariah-compliant securities in the portfolio of the Fund may be removed from the Shariah-compliant list upon review of the securities, performed twice yearly, by the SAC of the SC. In such event, the Fund should – (a) dispose of the securities within six months (or such duration that the SAC of SC may determine) after the effective date of the updated list of Shariah-compliant securities if the market price of such securities exceeds or is equal to the investment cost. The Funds are allowed to keep dividends received and capital gain from disposing of the securities within such period. However, any dividends received and excess capital gain from the disposal of Shariah non-compliant securities after such period should be channeled to baitulmal and/or charitable bodies; or (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. 4.2.5 Dividend Policy Risk This is a risk particular to a fund which has heavy emphasis on high yield dividend stocks. This risk may occur when fundamentals of the company’s business deteriorate or if there is a change in the management policy resulting in a reduction or even removal of the company’s dividend policy. 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. 4.2.6 Profit/Interest Rate Risk 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 Islamic debt securities. 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 Islamic debt securities has a tendency to move inversely with the movement of the profit/interest whereby the prices of the Islamic debt securities may fall when profit/interest rates rise and vice versa. The interest rate is a general indicator. Although the Fund 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. 4.2.7 Credit/Default Risk Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer or financial institution of an Islamic debt securities, Islamic money market instruments and/or Islamic deposit placements to make timely payments of profit when due and/or repay the principal upon maturity or proceeds from realization of investments. Any default in the payment of profit and/or principal can lead to delayed or reduced income for a fund, and/or a loss of capital resulting in a reduction in the fund’s NAV and thus its unit price. This risk is mitigated through a prudent research process and close monitoring of the issuer’s credit profile and diversification of the fixed income portfolio of a fund. 26 | PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 MASTER PROSPECTUS 5. THE FUNDS 5.1 EQUITY FUNDS 2014/2015 The investment portfolio of the Funds comprises securities which have been classified as Shariahcompliant by the SAC of the SC. For securities not certified by the SAC of the SC, the status of the securities has been determined in accordance with the ruling issued by the Shariah Adviser of the Funds. 5.1.1 PMB DANA AL-AIMAN Fund Profile Category of Fund : Equity (Shariah) Type of Fund : Growth & Income General Information The Fund was launched on 9 April 1968 as Kumpulan Modal Bumiputera Yang Pertama for Bumiputera investors. Unit Holders on 21 September 1996 approved the conversion of the Fund into a Shariah-compliant fund and its opening to the public. It was re-launched as Dana Al-Aiman on 19 May 1997. The Fund assumes its current name on 28 April 2014. Investment Objective The objective of the Fund is to provide investors with steady return and to achieve capital growth over the medium to long term by investing in equities and fixed income securities that conform to the Shariah principles. Note: Any material changes to the investment objective of the Fund require Unit Holders’ approval. Investment Strategy The Fund shall invest primarily in a diversified portfolio of Shariah-compliant equity and equity-related securities listed on any recognized stock exchange in Malaysia. The portfolio construction process is research driven with extensive bottom-up fundamental analysis coupled with top down economic and sector analysis. In identifying investable listed companies, the Manager relies on fundamental research where the financial strength including track records, the company’s prospects, business operation and top management of the companies are considered. In addition, prospects for the economies and sectors in which the companies operate are also assessed. The focus is on public-listed companies with growth prospects and/or having forecast dividend yield of 3.0% per annum or above over medium to long term to optimize the total returns of the Fund. Other valuation measures include price to earnings (PE), PE to growth, discounted cash flow, price to revalued net asset value and price to book depending in which sector the companies operate and whether the operations are perpetual or for a defined period. Analyses are also made on revenue growth, profit margins, sustainability of earnings, balance sheet and cash flow. The Fund will also partake in situational investment opportunity (such as mergers & acquisitions and privatization) within the acceptable level of risks as analysed by the Manager. Under normal circumstances, allocation to equity and equity-related securities ranges between 70% and 99.5% of the NAV of the Fund. The remaining will be invested in Islamic money market instruments, Islamic deposit placements, Islamic debt securities and/or other permitted investments. The equity allocation may be reviewed from time to time depending on the global, regional and local economic as well as equity market conditions. This includes assessing the relevant political, economic and business environment prior to making investment decisions. |27 PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 2014/2015 MASTER PROSPECTUS The Manager may also take temporary defensive positions that may be inconsistent with the Fund’s main strategy in attempting to respond to adverse political and/or economic conditions or potential sharp downturn in the equities market that likely lead to a substantial capital loss. In such circumstances, the Manager may reallocate 100% of the Fund’s equity and equity-related investments into other permitted investments, including Islamic debt securities, Islamic money market instruments, and/or Islamic deposit placements. For investment in Islamic debt securities, credit valuation and profit/interest rate direction are the most critical risk factors to be considered. As for credit valuation, the Manager set stringent investment criteria in assessing Islamic debt securities, covering mainly the nature of business, management, cash flow, gearing level and collateralization. In case the Fund invests in such securities, only investment grade Islamic debt securities 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. Risks of Investing in the Fund • Equity Market Risk Equity market risk refers to the potential losses that may arise from changes in the market prices of the Fund’s investments. The prices of securities in which the Fund invests may fluctuate due to various factors, for examples, changes in government regulations and policies, economic developments, investor sentiment, inflation, interest rates and exchange rates. Such movement in securities prices will affect the Fund’s NAV/unit due to its exposure of between 70% and 99.5% in the equity market. • Stock Specific Risk The risk that is directly associated with a particular stock due to changes in consumer preferences and stiff competition, introduction of levies on certain products or services that may affect the value of the stock. • Shariah Status Reclassification Risk This risk refers to the scenario where the Shariah-compliant securities in the portfolio of the Fund may be removed from the Shariah-compliant list upon review of the securities, performed twice yearly, by the SAC of the SC. In such event, the Fund should: (a) dispose of the securities within six months (or such duration that the SAC of the SC may determine) after the effective date of the updated list of Shariah-compliant securities if the market price of such securities exceeds or is equal to the investment cost. The Funds are allowed to keep dividends received and capital gain from disposing of the securities within such determined. However, any dividends received and excess capital gain from the disposal of Shariah non-compliant securities after such period should be channeled to baitulmal and/or charitable bodies; or (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. As a result of the above risks, income distribution and capital appreciation of the value of the Fund cannot be guaranteed. However, the Manager will take reasonable steps to ensure that the above potential risks are mitigated. Risk Management 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 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 will employ a fundamental approach to ensure selection of quality Shariah-compliant equities which will take into account information gathered during company visits, 28 | PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 MASTER PROSPECTUS 2014/2015 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 a range of 70% to 99.5% of its NAV 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. The Manager may also take temporary defensive positions that may be inconsistent with the Fund’s principal strategy in attempting to respond to adverse economic and/or political conditions or potential sharp downturn in the equities market that may be likely leading to substantial capital loss. In such circumstances, the Manager may reallocate up to 100% of the Fund’s equity investments into other permitted investments, including Islamic debt securities, Islamic money market instruments and/or Islamic deposit placements. To manage the stock specific risk of the Fund, in-depth company analyses are 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 practice good corporate governance. The Fund also takes into account trading liquidity to manage the stock specific risk. For investment in Islamic debt securities, credit valuation and profit rate direction are the most critical risk factors to be considered. As for credit valuation, the Fund Manager has set stringent investment criteria in assessing Islamic debt securities, covering mainly the nature of business, cash flow, gearing level, management and collateralization. In case the Fund invests in such securities, only investment grade Islamic debt securities 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. In addition, regular reporting to and consulting with Investment Committee members are held at periodical meetings. The reporting to the Investment Committee consists of, amongst others, the review on the performance of the Fund and the relevant markets, immediate and future investment approach and asset allocation strategy, and compliance status.

It was re-launched as ASM Shariah Aggressive Fund with a new marketing strategy targeting investors who seek high capital return at a higher level of risks. The Fund assumes its current name on 28 April 2014. Investment Objective The objective of the Fund is to provide investors with opportunity to earn high capital return over the medium to long term through active investments in Shariah approved securities listed on the Bursa Malaysia. Note: Any material changes to the investment objective of the Fund require Unit Holders’ approval.

The Fund has an aggressive investment approach where active trading strategy is adopted. The PTR will be normally higher than that of the normal equity-based Funds. It shall invest primarily in a diversified portfolio among any of the top 250 Shariah-compliant companies in terms of market capitalization listed on Bursa Malaysia. Exclusions from the list of the 250, if any, are those companies that have huge retained losses to the tune that its net asset value per share being less than 50% of its par value; this is to mitigate the risk of investing in a potential insolvent company. The research process is based on relative performance analysis that is aimed at selecting a portfolio of stocks among the stock universe as mentioned above that have the potential to have good price performance. Under normal circumstances, allocation to equity and equity-related securities ranges between 80% and 99.5% of the NAV of the Fund. The remaining will be invested in Islamic money market instruments, Islamic deposit placements and/or other permitted investments. The equity allocation may be reviewed from time to time depending on the global, regional and local economic as well as equity market conditions. This includes assessing the relevant political, economic and business environment prior to making investment decisions. Risks of Investing in the Fund • Equity Market Risk Equity market risk refers to the potential losses that may arise from changes in the market prices of the Fund’s investments. The prices of securities in which the Fund invests may fluctuate due to various factors, for examples, changes in government regulations and policies, economic developments, investor sentiment, inflation, interest rates and exchange rates. Such movement in securities prices will affect the Fund’s NAV/unit due to its exposure of between 80% and 99.5% in the equity market. • Stock Specific Risk The risk that is directly associated with a particular stock due to changes in consumer preferences and stiff competition, introduction of levies on certain products or services that may affect the value of the stock. • Shariah Status Reclassification Risk This risk refers to the scenario where the Shariah-compliant securities in the portfolio of the Fund may be removed from the Shariah-compliant list upon review of the securities, performed twice yearly, by the SAC of the SC. In such event, the Fund should: 36 | PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 MASTER PROSPECTUS a) 2014/2015 dispose of the securities within six months (or such duration that the SAC of the SC may determine) after the effective date of the updated list of Shariah-compliant securities if the market price of such securities exceeds or is equal to the investment cost. The Funds are allowed to keep dividends received and capital gain from disposing of the securities within such determined. However, any dividends received and excess capital gain from the disposal of Shariah non-compliant securities after such period should be channeled to baitulmal and/or charitable bodies; or 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. As a result of the above risks, capital appreciation of the value of the Fund cannot be guaranteed. However, the Manager will take reasonable steps to ensure that the above potential risks are mitigated. Risk Management 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 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 will employ a fundamental approach to ensure selection of quality Shariah-compliant equities which will take 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 a range of 80% to 99.5% of its NAV 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. The Manager may also take temporary defensive positions that may be inconsistent with the Fund’s principal strategy in attempting to respond to adverse economic and/or political conditions or potential sharp downturn in the equities market that may be likely leading to substantial capital loss. In such circumstances, the Manager may reallocate up to 100% of the Fund’s equity investments into other permitted investments, including Islamic debt securities, Islamic money market instruments and/or Islamic deposit placements. To manage the stock specific risk of the Fund, in-depth company analyses are 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 practice good corporate governance. The Fund also takes into account trading liquidity to manage the stock specific risk. For investment in Islamic debt securities, credit valuation and profit/interest rate direction are the most critical risk factors to be considered. As for credit valuation, the Manager set stringent investment criteria in assessing Islamic debt securities, covering mainly the nature of business, management, cash flow, gearing level and collateralization. In case the Fund invests in such securities, only investment grade Islamic debt securities 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. In addition, regular reporting to and consulting with Investment Committee members are held at periodical meetings. The reporting to the Investment Committee consists of, amongst others, the review on the performance of the Fund and the relevant markets, immediate and future investment approach and asset allocation strategy, and compliance status. |37 PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 2014/2015 MASTER PROSPECTUS Performance Benchmark FBMSHA – The index comprises the constituents of the FBM EMAS that are Shariah-compliant according to the SAC SC screening methodology.

Unit Holders approved on 23 November 2000 the change of its investment objective to an index tracking fund and its opening to the public. The Fund was re-launched as ASM Index Fund on 25 March 2002.

Note: Any material changes to the investment objective of the Fund require Unit Holders’ approval. Investment Strategy The Fund shall invest in a diversified portfolio of Shariah-compliant equity securities listed on Bursa Malaysia, primarily in stocks constituent of the FBMSHA. It is a passively managed index fund whereby the Fund Manager constructs the Fund’s investment portfolio based on an index sampling approach by investing not less than 60% of the Fund’s NAV in the top 15 constituent stocks of the FBMSHA that represent approximately 67% of the market capitalization of the index (as at 28 February 2014). The balance may be invested in the next remaining constituent stocks of FBMSHA, and any other Shariah-compliant securities listed on Bursa Malaysia. Under normal circumstances, the Fund shall invest at least 90% of its NAV in equities with a minimum 60% among the top 15 constituent stocks of the FBMSHA. However equity investment of the Fund shall not exceed 99.5% of its NAV. The balance will be placed Islamic money market instruments, Islamic deposit placements and/or other permitted investments. Performance Benchmark The benchmark for the Fund is FBMSHA. The index comprises the constituents of the FBM EMAS that are Shariah-compliant according to the SAC of the SC screening methodology. The FBMSHA has been designed to provide investors with a broad benchmark for Shariah-compliant investment. It was launched on 22 January 2007 and developed using a base value of 6,000 as of 31 March 2006. The 5 top industrial sector breakdown of the FBMSHA, by the market capitalization as at 28 February 2014 was as below: Sector Trading 53 Net Market Capitalization (RM mil) 216,663 Industrial 32 60,246 14.45 Plantation 14 48,168 11.56 Property 24 22,103 5.30 3 21,095 5.03 126 368,275 88.35 Infrastructure Total No of Constituents Weighing (%) 51.98 |45 PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 2014/2015 MASTER PROSPECTUS Source:http://www.ftse.com/Indices/FTSE_Bursa_Malaysia_Index_Series/index. 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 twelve month prior to the semi-annual review will be removed. • Shariah Compliance The general criteria, as determined by the SAC of the SC, stipulate that the Shariah-compliant companies must not be involved in any of the following core activities: a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. Financial services based on riba (interest) Gambling Manufacture or sale of non-halal products or related products Conventional insurance Entertainment activities that are non-permissible according to Shariah Manufacture or sale of tobacco based products or related products Stockbroking or share trading in Shariah non-compliant securities 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.bursamalavsia.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. b. c. 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 67% of the index; underweight positions on any particular stocks among the top 15 of the FBMSHA; the Fund’s investment in securities other than the top 15 components of the FBMSHA; 46 | PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 MASTER PROSPECTUS d. e. 2014/2015 the Fund’s non-investment in lower weightage constituent stocks that outperform the top stock constituents; and 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 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 portfolio of 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 of 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. Risks of Investing in the Fund • Equity Market Risk Equity market risk refers to the potential losses that may arise from changes in the market prices of the Fund’s investments. The prices of securities that the Fund invests in may fluctuate due to various factors, for example, changes in government regulations and policies, economic developments, investor sentiment, inflation, interest rates and exchange rates. Such movement in the prices of the securities will affect the Fund’s NAV due to the exposure between 90% and 99.5% of the Fund’s investment portfolio in the equity market. • Risk of Tracking Error The Fund’s performance may not reflect the performance of the FBMSHA as the Fund’s portfolio does not fully replicate the FBMSHA constituents. Shariah Status Reclassification Risk This risk refers to the scenario where the Shariah-compliant securities in the portfolio of the Fund may be removed from the Shariah-compliant list upon review of the securities, performed twice yearly, by the SAC of the SC. In such event, the Fund should: a) dispose of the securities within six months (or such duration that the SAC of the SC may determine) after the effective date of the updated list of Shariah-compliant securities if the market price of such securities exceeds or is equal to the investment cost. The Funds are allowed to keep dividends received and capital gain from disposing of the securities within such determined. However, any dividends received and excess capital gain from the disposal of Shariah non-compliant securities after such period should be channeled to baitulmal and/or charitable bodies; or 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. As a result of the above risks, income distribution and capital appreciation of the value of the Fund cannot be guaranteed. However, the manager will take reasonable steps to ensure that the above potential risks are mitigated where possible. |47 PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 MASTER PROSPECTUS 2014/2015 Risk Management 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 Investment Committee members are held at periodical meetings. The reporting to the Investment Committee consists of, amongst others, the review on the performance of the Fund and the relevant markets, immediate and future investment approach and asset allocation strategy, and compliance status.

It was opened to the public and re-launched as ASM Premier Fund on 12 June 1995. Unit Holders approved on 18 October 2012 the change of the Fund’s investment objective to make it Shariah-compliant. It was subsequently re-launched as ASM Shariah Premier Fund on 15 January 2013 targeting investors who seek to invest in a fund investing in large capitalized companies. The Fund assumes its current name on 28 April 2014. Investment Objective The objective of the Fund is to provide opportunities for investors to achieve capital growth over the medium to long term through investment in any of the 50 largest Shariah-compliant stocks by market capitalization (at the time of purchase) listed on the Bursa Malaysia. Note: Any material changes to the investment objective of the Fund require Unit Holders’ approval. Investment Strategy The Fund shall invest in a diversified portfolio of Shariah-compliant equity and equity-related securities listed on any recognized stock exchange in Malaysia, primarily in any of the 50 largest Shariah-compliant stocks in terms of market capitalization (at the point of purchase) listed on Bursa Malaysia. It may invest not more than 10% of its NAV in aggregate in the next 25 largest listed companies based on the market capitalization, listed on Bursa Malaysia. The Fund will focus on companies that are stable with growth potential and/or have dividend yield of 3.0% per annum or above. In identifying companies for investment, the Fund manager relies on fundamental research on the financial health, industry prospects, management quality and track records of the companies as well as quantitative research on relative performance. The Fund will maintain equity exposure within a range of 70% to 99.5% of its NAV. The remaining of the Fund’s NAV shall be invested in Islamic money market instruments, Islamic deposit placement, Islamic debt securities and/or other permitted investments. The Manager may also take temporary defensive positions that may be inconsistent with the Fund’s main strategy in attempting to respond to adverse economic and/or political conditions or potential sharp downturn in the equities market that may be likely leading to substantial capital loss. In such circumstances, the Manager may reallocate up to 50% of the Fund’s equity investments into other permitted investments, including Islamic debt securities, Islamic money market instruments and/or Islamic deposit placements. Risks of Investing in the Fund • Equity Market Risk Equity market risk refers to the potential losses that may arise from changes in the market prices of the Fund’s investments. The prices of securities in which the Fund invests may fluctuate due to various factors, for examples, changes in government regulations and policies, economic developments, investor sentiment, inflation, interest rates and exchange rates. Such movement in securities prices will affect the Fund’s NAV/unit due to its exposure of between 70% and 99.5% in the equity market. • Stock Specific Risk The risk that is directly associated with a particular stock due to changes in consumer preferences and stiff competition, introduction of levies on certain products or services that may affect the value of the stock. |49 PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 2014/2015 • MASTER PROSPECTUS Shariah Status Reclassification Risk This risk refers to the scenario where the Shariah-compliant securities in the portfolio of the Fund may be removed from the Shariah-compliant list upon review of the securities, performed twice yearly, by the SAC of the SC. In such event, the Fund should : a) dispose of the securities within six months (or such duration that the SAC of the SC may determine) after the effective date of the updated list of Shariah-compliant securities if the market price of such securities exceeds or is equal to the investment cost. The Funds are allowed to keep dividends received and capital gain from disposing of the securities within such determined. However, any dividends received and excess capital gain from the disposal of Shariah non-compliant securities after such period should be channeled to baitulmal and/or charitable bodies; or 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. As a result of the above risks, capital appreciation of the value of the Fund cannot be guaranteed. However, the Manager will take reasonable steps to ensure that the above potential risks are mitigated. Risk Management The Fund 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 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 will employ a fundamental approach to ensure selection of quality Shariah-compliant equities which will take 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 a range of 70% to 99.5% of its NAV 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. The Manager may also take temporary defensive positions that may be inconsistent with the Fund’s principal strategy in attempting to respond to adverse economic and/or political conditions or potential sharp downturn in the equities market that may be likely leading to substantial capital loss. In such circumstances, the Manager may reallocate up to 50% of the Fund’s equity investments into other permitted investments, including Islamic debt securities, Islamic money market instruments and/or Islamic deposit placements. To manage the stock specific risk of the Fund, in-depth company analyses are 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 practice good corporate governance. The Fund also takes into account trading liquidity to manage the stock specific risk. For investment in Islamic debt securities, credit valuation and profit/interest rate direction are the most critical risk factors to be considered. As for credit valuation, the Manager set stringent investment criteria in assessing Islamic debt securities, covering mainly the nature of business, management, cash flow, gearing level and collateralization. In case the Fund invests in such securities, only investment grade Islamic debt securities 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. 50 | PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 MASTER PROSPECTUS 2014/2015 In addition, regular reporting to and consulting with Investment Committee members are held at periodical meetings.

It assumes its current name on 28 April 2014. Investment Objective The objective of the Fund is to provide investors with an opportunity to gain consistent and stable income stream that is potentially higher than the average fixed deposit rates. Note: Any material changes to the investment objective of the Fund require Unit Holders’ approval. Investment Strategy The Fund shall invest primarily in a diversified portfolio of Shariah-compliant equity and equity-related securities listed on any recognized stock exchange in Malaysia. The portfolio construction process is research driven with extensive bottom-up fundamental analysis coupled with top down economic and sector analysis. In identifying investable listed companies, the Manager relies on fundamental research where the financial strength including track records, the company’s prospects, business operation and top management of the companies are considered. In addition, prospects for the economies and sectors in which the companies operate are also assessed. The focus is on public-listed companies that have potential to deliver dividend yield of 3.0% per annum or above consistently over medium to long term to optimize the ability of the Fund to distribute income on an annual basis, barring any unforeseen circumstances. To achieve this, analyses are made on potential growth in revenue, profit margins, sustainability of revenue and profit margins, balance sheet and cash flow. An equally important analysis is the understanding of the dividend payout policy of the listed companies – dividend payout is the portion of net profit after tax and minority interests that a company would distribute as dividend to its shareholders throughout a financial year. Under normal circumstances, allocation to equity and equity-related securities ranges between 70% and 99.5% of the NAV of the Fund. The remaining will be invested in Islamic money market instruments, Islamic deposits and/or, where applicable, Islamic debt securities. The equity allocation may be reviewed from time to time depending on the global, regional and local economic as well as equity market conditions. This includes assessing the relevant political, economic and business environment prior to making investment decisions. The Manager may also take temporary defensive positions that may be inconsistent with the Fund’s main strategy in attempting to respond to adverse political and/or economic conditions or potential sharp downturn in the equities market that likely lead to a substantial capital loss. In such circumstances, the Manager may reallocate up to 100% of the Fund’s equity investments into other permitted investments, including Islamic debt securities, Islamic money market instruments and/or Islamic deposit placements. For investment in Islamic debt securities, credit valuation and profit/interest rate direction are the most critical risk factors to be considered. As for credit valuation, the Manager set stringent investment criteria in assessing Islamic debt securities, covering mainly the nature of business, management, cash flow, gearing level and collateralization. In case the Fund invests in such securities, only investment grade Islamic debt securities 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 52 | PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 MASTER PROSPECTUS ii) 2014/2015 having a longer or shorter duration of debt instruments depending on the expected direction of the KLIRR.

Unit Holders approved on 4 July 2013 the change of the Fund’s investment objective, making it a Shariah-compliant fund that is tactical in nature and opened to the public. The Fund was relaunched as ASM Shariah Tactical Fund on 25 October 2013. It assumes its current name on 28 April 2014. Investment Objective The objective of the Fund is to achieve capital growth over the medium to long-term period by investing in a portfolio of investments that comply with Shariah principles. Note: Any material changes to the investment objective of the Fund require Unit Holders’ approval. Investment Strategy The Fund adopts a tactical asset allocation strategy and has the flexibility to rebalance its allocation between the different asset classes of Shariah-compliant equity and equity-related securities, and non-equity investments, including Islamic debt securities, Islamic money markets instruments, Islamic deposit placements and/or other permitted investments, depending on market conditions. Its equity allocation or non-equity allocation may range between 0% and 100% of the NAV of the Fund. Through the use of tactical strategies and frequent portfolio reallocation between Shariah-compliant equities and Islamic debt securities, Islamic money market instruments, Islamic deposit placements and/or other permitted investments, the asset allocation can vary from a defensive to an aggressive asset allocation at any given time, depending on the market environment and/or based on the Manager’s view in order to take advantage of short term market inefficiencies in different asset classes and to navigate changing markets with the objective of achieving sustainable, long term positive returns. The portfolio construction process is research driven with extensive bottom-up fundamental analysis coupled with top down economic and sector analysis. In identifying investable listed companies, the Manager relies on fundamental research where the financial strength including track records, the company’s prospects, business operation and top management of the companies are considered. In addition, prospects for the economies and sectors in which the companies operate are also assessed. The focus is on public-listed companies with growth prospects and/or having forecast dividend yield of 3.0% per annum or above over medium to long term to optimize the total returns of the Fund. Other valuation measures include price to earnings (PE), PE to growth, discounted cash flow, price to revalued net asset value and price to book depending in which sector the companies operate and whether the operations are perpetual or for a defined period. Analyses are also made on revenue growth, profit margins, sustainability of earnings, balance sheet and cash flow. The non-equity portion of the Fund will be invested in Islamic debt securities, Islamic money market instruments, Islamic deposit placements and/or other permitted investments. Where investment climate is deemed to be unfavourable and weakness in equity is expected, the Fund will raise its holdings in Islamic debt securities, Islamic money market instruments and/or Islamic deposit placements. For investment in Islamic debt securities, credit valuation and profit/interest rate direction are the most critical risk factors to be considered. As for credit valuation, the Manager set stringent investment criteria in assessing Islamic debt securities, covering mainly the nature of business, management, cash flow, gearing level and collateralization. In case the Fund invests in such securities, only investment grade Islamic debt 58 | PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 MASTER PROSPECTUS 2014/2015 securities 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 Islamic debt securities, Islamic money market instruments and/or Islamic deposit placements will allow the Manager to easily switch to equities when the stock market is favourable. Risks of Investing in the Fund • Equity Market Risk Equity market risk refers to the potential losses that may arise from changes in the market prices of the Fund’s investments. The prices of securities in which the Fund invests may fluctuate due to various factors, for examples, changes in government regulations and policies, economic developments, investor sentiment, inflation, interest rates and exchange rates. Such movement in securities prices will affect the Fund’s NAV/unit due to its exposure that may reach up to 100% of the Fund’s NAV in the equity market. • Profit/Interest Rate Risk The Fund is highly associated with profit/interest rate risk where 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 placements. The value of the Islamic debt securities has a tendency to move inversely with the movement of the profit/interest rate whereby the prices of the Islamic debt securities may fall when profit/interest rates rise, and vice versa. Interest rate is a general indicator. Although the Fund does not invest in interest bearing instruments, interest rate movement will have an impact on the profit earned from the Islamic money market instruments and Islamic deposit placements and the valuation of the Islamic debt securities. Hence such a movement will affect the expected return of the Fund’s investments. • Credit/Default Risk This risk refers to the inability of an issuer or a financial institution of the Islamic debt securities, Islamic money market instruments and Islamic deposit placements to pay the profit when due and/or repay the principal upon maturity. • Stock Specific Risk The risk that is directly associated with a particular stock due to changes in consumer preferences and stiff competition, introduction of levies on certain products or services that may affect the value of the stock. • Shariah Status Reclassification Risk This risk refers to the scenario where the Shariah-compliant securities in the portfolio of the Fund may be removed from the Shariah-compliant list upon review of the securities, performed twice yearly, by the SAC of the SC. In such event, the Fund should: a) dispose of the securities within six months (or such duration that the SAC of the SC may determine) after the effective date of the updated list of Shariah-compliant securities if the market price of such securities exceeds or is equal to the investment cost. The Funds are allowed to keep dividends received and capital gain from disposing of the securities within such determined. However, any dividends received and excess capital gain from the disposal of Shariah non-compliant securities after such period should be channeled to baitulmal and/or charitable bodies; and |59 PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 2014/2015 MASTER PROSPECTUS 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. As a result of the above risks, income distribution and capital appreciation of the value of the Fund cannot be guaranteed. However, the Manager will take reasonable steps to ensure that the above potential risks are mitigated. Risk Management The Manager adopts an active and frequent 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 equities and non-equity investments. The Fund’s market risk is prudently managed through tactical asset allocation approaches based on fundamental and technical analysis. The asset allocation exposure may differ from time to time depending on 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 Islamic debt securities. For equity investment, in-depth company analyses are 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 Islamic debt securities, credit valuation and profit/interest rate direction are the most critical risk factors to be considered. As for credit valuation, the Manager has set stringent investment criteria in assessing Islamic debt securities, covering mainly the nature of business, cash flow, gearing level, management and collateralization. The Fund only invests in investment grade bonds rated either by RAM or MARC. For profit/interest rate risk management, the Fund’s Islamic debt securities 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 shortfall in Islamic debt securities’ prices. In addition, regular reporting and consulting with Investment Committee Members will be 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. Performance Benchmark Two (2) times the performance of a one-year adjusted average rate of the Kuala Lumpur Islamic Reference Rate (KLIRR) – The performance of the Fund will be benchmarked using the absolute return approach computed as below – Assuming the KLIRR’s one-year adjusted average rate was 3% per annum, the performance benchmark for the Fund would be 6%, derived from: = 2 X one-year adjusted average rate of KLIRR, for a period under review = 2 X 3% = 6% The KLIRR is the daily average of the Islamic Interbank rates and updated daily at 11.00 a.m. (Malaysian Business Hour).

It was opened to the public following its re-launch as ASM Tanjung Piai Balanced Fund on 6 December 1997 with a new investment objective as a balanced fund. It was renamed ASM Balanced Fund on 26 June 2001. Unit Holders approved on 19 July 2012 the change of the Fund’s investment objective, making it a Shariah-compliant balanced fund. The Fund was renamed ASM Shariah Dividend Fund on 15 January 2013. It assumes its current name on 28 April 2014. Investment Objective The objective of the Fund is to provide investors an opportunity to earn regular income and capital growth in the medium and long term through investment in Shariah-compliant securities. Note: Any material changes to the investment objective of the Fund require Unit Holders’ approval. Investment Strategy The Fund shall invest primarily in a diversified portfolio that includes Shariah-compliant equity and equity related securities, Islamic money market instruments, Islamic deposit placements, Islamic debt securities and/or other permitted investments in Malaysia. The portfolio construction process is research driven with extensive bottom-up fundamental analysis coupled with top down economic and sector analysis. In identifying investable listed companies, the Manager relies on fundamental research where the financial strength including track records, the company’s prospects, business operation and top management of the companies are considered. In addition, prospects for the economies and sectors in which the companies operate are also assessed. The focus is on public-listed companies with growth prospects and/or having forecast dividend yield of 3.0% per annum or above over medium to long term to optimize the total returns of the Fund. Other valuation measures include price to earnings (PE), PE to growth, discounted cash flow, price to revalued net asset value and price to book depending in which sector the companies operate and whether the operations are perpetual or for a defined period. Analyses are also made on revenue growth, profit margins, sustainable earnings, balance sheet and cash flow. For investment in Islamic debt securities, credit valuation and profit/interest rate direction are the most critical risk factors to be considered. As for credit valuation, the Manager set stringent investment criteria in assessing Islamic debt securities, covering mainly the nature of business, management, cash flow, gearing level and collateralization. In case the Fund invests in such securities, only investment grade Islamic debt securities 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. Under normal circumstances, allocation to equity and equity-related securities ranges from 40% to 60% of the NAV of the Fund. The balance will be invested in Islamic money market instruments, Islamic deposit placements, Islamic debt securities and/other permitted investments. |61 PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 2014/2015 MASTER PROSPECTUS The Manager may also take temporary defensive positions that may be inconsistent with the Fund’s main strategy in attempting to respond to adverse political and/or economic conditions or potential sharp downturn in the equities market that likely lead to a substantial capital loss. Under an extremely bearish market condition the Fund may reduce its equity and equity-related exposure to below 40%. Risks of Investing in the Fund • Equity Market Risk Equity market risk refers to the potential losses that may arise from changes in the market prices of the Fund’s investments. The prices of securities in which the Fund invests may fluctuate due to various factors, for examples, changes in government regulations and policies, economic developments, investor sentiment, inflation, interest rates and exchange rates. Such movement in securities prices will affect the Fund’s NAV/unit due to its exposure of between 40% and 60% in the equity market. • Stock Specific Risk The risk that is directly associated with a particular stock due to changes in consumer preferences and stiff competition, introduction of levies on certain products or services that may affect the value of the stock. • Profit/Interest Rate Risk The Fund is highly associated with profit/interest rate risk where 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 placements. The value of the Islamic debt securities has a tendency to move inversely with the movement of the profit/interest rate whereby the prices of the Islamic debt securities may fall when profit/interest rates rise, and vice versa. Interest rate is a general indicator. Although the Fund does not invest in interest bearing instruments, interest rate movement will have an impact on the profit earned from the Islamic money market instruments and Islamic deposit placements and the valuation of the Islamic debt securities. Hence such a movement will affect the expected return of the Fund’s investments. • Credit/Default Risk This risk refers to the inability of an issuer or a financial institution of the Islamic debt securities, Islamic money market instruments and Islamic deposit placements to pay the profit when due and/or repay the principal upon maturity. • Shariah Status Reclassification Risk This risk refers to the scenario where the Shariah-compliant securities in the portfolio of the Fund may be removed from the Shariah-compliant list upon review of the securities, performed twice yearly, by the SAC of the SC. In such event, the Fund should: a) dispose of the securities within six months (or such duration that the SAC of the SC may determine) after the effective date of the updated list of Shariah-compliant securities if the market price of such securities exceeds or is equal to the investment cost. The Funds are allowed to keep dividends received and capital gain from disposing of the securities within such determined. However, any dividends received and excess capital gain from the disposal of Shariah non-compliant securities after such period should be channeled to baitulmal and/or charitable bodies; or 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. As a result of the above risks, income distribution and capital appreciation of the value of the Fund cannot be guaranteed. However, the Manager will take reasonable steps to ensure that the above potential risks are mitigated. 62 | PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 MASTER PROSPECTUS 2014/2015 Risk Management 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 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 will employ a fundamental approach to ensure selection of quality Shariah-compliant equities which will take into account information gathered during company visits, potential income and earnings growth, management quality and past track records of the companies are considered, and • 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. The Manager may also take temporary defensive positions that may be inconsistent with the Fund’s principal strategy in attempting to respond to adverse economic and/or political conditions or potential sharp downturn in the equities market that may be likely leading to substantial capital loss. In such circumstances, the Manager may reallocate up to 100% of the Fund’s equity investments into other permitted investments, including Islamic debt securities, Islamic money market instruments and/or Islamic deposit placements. To manage the stock specific risk of the Fund, in-depth company analyses are 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 practice good corporate governance. The Fund also takes into account trading liquidity to manage the stock specific risk. For investment in Islamic debt securities, credit valuation and profit/interest rate direction are the most critical risk factors to be considered. As for credit valuation, the Manager set stringent investment criteria in assessing Islamic debt securities, covering mainly the nature of business, management, cash flow, gearing level and collateralization. In case the Fund invests in such securities, only investment grade Islamic debt securities 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. The structure of the Fund is such that it is confined to instruments of short duration to maturity in order to mitigate the impact of fluctuation in profit/interest rate on the performance of the Fund over the short term while the credit risks it may face are mitigated by strict limits on concentration of investments and due diligence in the credit assessments by ensuring investment grade credit ratings as mentioned above. In addition, regular reporting and consulting with Investment Committee Members will be 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 Performance Benchmark A combination of the FBMSHA on the equity performance, and a one-year adjusted average rate of the Kuala Lumpur Islamic Reference Rates (KLIRR) for the Islamic debt securities, Islamic money market instruments, Islamic deposit placements and/or other permitted investment performance, based on a 50:50 ratio, on the basis that the Fund is a balanced unit trust fund, and is expected to have a balanced asset allocation in the long term. |63 PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 2014/2015 MASTER PROSPECTUS Assuming, the FBMSHA gave a return of 10% during a year under review and the average KLIRR was 3% per annum, the benchmark retu rn for the Fund would be 6.5%, derived from: 50% of the performance of FBMSHA + 50% of the performance of KLIRR = (50% x 10%) + (50% x 3%) = 5.0% + 1.5% = 6.5% FBMSHA is an index comprising the constituents of the FBM EMAS that are Shariah-compliant according to the SAC of the SC screening methodology.

Unit Holders approved on 5 May 2005 the change of the investment objective of the Fund into an Islamic money market fund. As a result, the name of the Fund was changed to ASM Syariah Money Market Fund. The Fund changes its name again on 5 April 2012 to ASM Shariah Cash Management Fund while still maintaining its objective but with additional features. It assumes its current name on 28 April 2014. Investment Objective The objective of the Fund is to provide investors with high degree of liquidity while maintaining capital stability through investments primarily in Shariah approved money market instruments and debt securities. Note: Any material changes to the investment objective of the Fund require Unit Holders’ approval. Investment Strategy The Fund is essentially managed to provide liquidity to meet the near and short term cash flow requirements of its Unit Holders while providing returns. Its investments are largely confined to Islamic money market instruments, Islamic deposit placements and Islamic debt securities that mature within 365 days, issued in Malaysia. Nevertheless the Fund can invest up to 10% of its NAV in Islamic money market instruments, Islamic deposit placements or Islamic debt securities with maturity period exceeding 365 days but not longer than 732 days. The selection of the Islamic money market instruments will be based on criteria such as liquidity, diversification and tenure. The Manager adopts a prudent strategy in forming the portfolio of Islamic money 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/interests 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 placement and/or Islamic debt securities that are liquid and conform to the Shariah principles. Notwithstanding the Fund can invest up to 10% for short dated Islamic debt securities maturing between 365 and 732 days. Risks of the Fund • Profit/Interest Rate Risk The Fund is highly associated with profit/interest risk where downward movement of the profit/interest may result in a loss of the expected return from the Fund’s investments in Islamic money market instrument and Islamic deposit placements. The value of the Islamic debt securities has a tendency to move inversely with the movement of the profit/interest whereby the prices of the Islamic debt securities may fall when profit rates rise, and vice versa. Interest rate is a general indicator. Although the Fund does not invest in interest bearing instruments, the movement of the interest rate will have an impact on the profit/interest of the Islamic money market instruments, Islamic deposit placements and the value of Islamic debt securities, and consequently affect the expected return of the Fund’s investments. |65 PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 2014/2015 • MASTER PROSPECTUS Credit/Default Risk This risk refers to the inability of an issuer or a financial institution of the Islamic debt securities, Islamic money market instruments and Islamic deposit placements to pay the profit when due and/or repay the principal upon maturity. In such event, the expected income and/or the asset value of the Fund will be adversely affected. As a result of the above risks, income distribution of the Fund cannot be guaranteed. However, the Manager will take reasonable steps to ensure that the above potential risks are mitigated. Risk Management The Fund’s credit risk is prudently managed through exercising prudent selection of investments. A thorough study on the credit worthiness of the issuer of the Islamic debt securities and the securities themselves will be undertaken by the Manager. The Fund will invest in quality short term to medium term instruments with minimum short term local credit 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. For investment in Islamic debt securities, credit valuation and profit/interest rate direction are the most critical risk factors to be considered. As for credit valuation, the Manager set stringent investment criteria in assessing Islamic debt securities, covering mainly the nature of business, management, cash flow, gearing level and collateralization. In case the Fund invests in such securities, only investment grade Islamic debt securities rated by either RAM or MARC will be considered.

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 capital market instruments to be invested and secondly the securities or companies of which the capital market instruments are issued. In making investments, both capital instruments and the securities must be Shariah-compliant. Capital Market Instruments Since the establishment of the SAC of the SC, several capital market instruments have been evaluated and approved; they are: • • • • • • • • • • • Ordinary shares; Warrants/TSR; Call warrants; Non-cumulative preference shares; Redeemable preference shares; Crude palm oil futures contracts; Crude palm kernel oil futures contracts; Khazanah zero-coupon bonds; Single Stock Futures (if the underlying is Shariah compliant); and Islamic asset securitisation/Islamic debt securitisation. Futures Contract Index (Source: Securities Commission website, Frequently-Asked Questions of Islamic Capital Markets) 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 page 139. 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 Shariahcompliant securities issued by the SAC of the SC (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 of SC screening methodology until such time when the SAC issues its ruling on the securities. When investing in Islamic money market instruments, Islamic deposit placements, Islamic debt securities and/or other permitted investments for Shariah-compliant unit trust funds, they must also be Shariahcompliant as determined by the Shariah Advisory Council of Bank Negara Malaysia and/or the SAC of the SC, as the case may be. Classification of Shariah Securities by SC For companies listed on Bursa Malaysia, the Funds’ investments must be strictly confined to the companies on 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. |67 PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 2014/2015 MASTER PROSPECTUS 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. Quantitative Assessment Revised Shariah Screening Methodology Business Activity Benchmarks Business activity benchmarks 5% Conventional banking and insurance, gambling, liquor and liquor related activities, pork and pork related activities, nonhalal food and beverages, Shariah non-compliant entertainment, interest income from conventional accounts and instruments, interest income awarded arising from a judgement by a court or arbitrator, tobacco and tobacco related 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. 33% i. Financial Ratio Benchmarks ii. Cash over total assets: Cash will only include cash placed in conventional accounts and instruments, whereas cash placed in Islamic accounts and instruments will be excluded from the calculation. Debt over total assets: Debt only includes interest bearing debt whereas Islamic debt/financing or sukuk is excluded from the calculations. Both ratios, which are intended to measure riba and ribabased elements within a company’s balance sheet, must be lower 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. 68 | PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 MASTER PROSPECTUS 2014/2015 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. With the application of the revised screening methodology, investors are given six months from the effective date of the updated list i.e. 29 November 2013 to dispose of such securities, in the event that the respective market price of such securities exceeds or is equal to the investment cost. In this regard, investors are allowed to keep dividends received and capital gain from disposing of such securities within the six-month period. However, any dividends received and excess capital gain from the disposal of Shariah non-compliant securities after the six-month period 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, they are advised to 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 noncompliant 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 noncompliant securities are held by the investors, on condition that they expedite the disposal of the Shariah non-compliant securities. (ii) Shariah non-compliant securities As per the SAC’s advice, the Funds that invest based on Shariah principles is to dispose of 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 during or after the disposal of the securities has to be channeled to charitable bodies or Baitulmal as advised by the Funds’ Shariah Adviser. The Funds have a right to retain only the original investment cost which may comprise brokerage cost and other related transaction costs. (Source: List of Shariah-Compliant Securities by the Shariah Advisory Council of the Securities Commission Malaysia- 29 November 2013). Foreign Shariah non-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 of SC above. 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. 5.6 PERMITTED INVESTMENTS The investments made by the Funds must conform with Shariah Principles which generally exclude conventional banking, insurance and financial institutions; gambling/gaming; alcoholic beverages; non-halal food products; interest-bearing money market instruments; and other securities or instruments as determined by the Shariah Adviser. |69 PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 2014/2015 MASTER PROSPECTUS Unless otherwise prohibited by the relevant authorities or any relevant law and provided always that there is no inconsistency with the objectives of the Fund, the Fund may must invest strictly in the investments/securities which comply with the Shariah principles and approved by the Shariah Adviser, the SAC of the SC or an international Shariah standard setting body (if applicable).

The Fund’s investment in debentures must not exceed 20% of the securities issued by any single issuer. b. The Fund’s investment in money market instruments must not exceed 20% of the instruments issued by any single issuer. c. The Fund’s investment in collective scheme must not exceed 25% of the units/shares in any CIS. Allowance in Excess of Investment Limits The above investment restrictions and limits have at all times to be complied with based on the most up-todate 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 72 | PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 MASTER PROSPECTUS 2014/2015 depreciation of the NAV of the Fund (whether as a result of an appreciation or depreciation in value of the investments or as a result of repurchase of Units or payment made from the Fund). If the relevant limit is breached, due to the appreciation or depreciation of the NAV of the Funds, no further acquisition of the particular securities involved shall be made. We shall, within a reasonable period of not more than 3 months from the date of breach, take all necessary steps and actions to rectify the breach. 5.8 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. 5.8.1 Listed Securities The valuation of securities listed on the stock exchange will be based on the market price quoted on a stock exchange at the end of the business day. If such market price is not available for a period of 14 days or any shorter period as agreed by the Trustee including due to suspension of trading, the securities shall be valued at fair value. We, in consultation with the stock brokers and/or the authorized dealers, may consider previously quoted bids and offers, last done market price or based on the Net Tangible Asset (NTA) of the company as approved by the Trustee, in determining the fair value. The fair value of the suspended counters is determined by us subject to verification by the auditor of the Fund and approved by the Trustee. 5.8.2 Unlisted and/or Suspended Securities The valuation of unlisted and suspended securities will be based on fair value. The method adopted in determining fair value may be based on the NTA of the company or Initial Public Offer (IPO), for stock prior to listing on the Bursa Malaysia. While for suspended counters, other methods of valuation can also be applied to determine the fair value such as Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method, break-up value and sum of parts. This method shall be verified by the auditor of the Fund and approved by the Trustee. 5.8.3 Fixed Income Securities i) Funds investing in Ringgit-denominated bonds shall value bond portfolios on a daily basis using fair value prices quoted by a Bond Pricing Agency (BPA) registered with the SC. ii) Where we are of the view that the price quoted by a BPA for a specific bond differs from the “market price” by more than 20 basis points, we may use the “market price”, provided that: a) the basis for using a non-BPA price is recorded; b) necessary internal approvals to use the non-BPA price are obtained; and c) 5.8.4 an audit trail of all decisions and basis for adopting the “market yield” is kept. Money Market Instruments Deposits placed with banks and other financial institutions are valued each day by reference to the nominal value and the interest/shared profit accrued thereon for the relevant period. 5.8.5 Collective Investment Scheme The value of the units will be based on the last published NAV per unit or share. |73 PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 2014/2015 MASTER PROSPECTUS 6.

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 |137 PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 2014/2015 MASTER PROSPECTUS 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. - Uncashed distribution warrant / cheques upon a lapse of 6 months of the validity period.

The warrant for distribution and/or statement of investment will be sent to the latest address recorded in the Unit Holder register. - Fund’s distribution of income is by way of units, irrespective of the standing instruction given by the Unit Holders to the contrary. - Unit Holder should notify the Manager of their option for reinvestment and any change of address within fourteen (14) business days prior to each distribution date.

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 shall reach the Manager before 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 applications received after cut-off time will be treated as if received on the following business day. • Single Pricing Regime (SPR) According to the SPR, the creation, cancellation, selling and buying/repurchase prices for Units would be the NAV per unit on any transaction. For 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) NAV of a Fund The NAV per unit of a fund is calculated by dividing the total NAV of that Fund by the total number of units of circulation of the same Fund at the end of each business day rounded to 4 decimal places. 138 | PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 MASTER PROSPECTUS 2014/2015 The following is an example of the valuation carried out: • Total NAV = RM50,000,000 Units in Circulation = 130,600,000 NAV per Unit = RM0.3828 Amount Payable Upon Sales of Units As the selling price of each unit of the Fund is equivalent to the NAV per unit, the total amount payable upon the sales of units will be amount invested plus Sales Charges per unit times the number of units allocated. Assuming that the NAV per unit of PMB SIF on a particular date is RM0.5000 and the sales charge is 6.0%, total amount payable that Unit Holder would need to pay is illustrated below: Amount invested = RM10,000 Units allocated = RM10,000 / RM0.5000 = 20,000 Units Total amount payable = Amount invested + sales charge = RM10,000 + (6.0% X RM0.5000 X 20,000 Units) = RM10,000 + RM600 = RM10,600 • 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 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, no fund has imposed any charges upon 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 the case of 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. Nevertheless, for a reimbursement of a lesser amount will be up to the Manager discretion. |139 PMB Investment Berhad Investor Relation Careline: 03 4145 3900 2014/2015 MASTER PROSPECTUS 10.

Tax deducted at source from Malaysian dividend received by the Funds will be available for set off either wholly or partly against the tax liability of the Funds.

Income of the Funds in respect of income received from overseas investment is exempt from Malaysian Tax by virtue of paragraph 28 of Schedule 6 of the Act and distribution of such income will be tax exempt in the hands of the Unit holders.

RPGT at 10% would be applicable on gains on those disposal of chargeable assets in the third, fourth or fifth year after the date of acquisition. However, any disposal of chargeable asset after 5 years from the date of acquisition of such chargeable asset is exempt from RPGT. It has been proposed in Financial Bill 2013 that the RPGT rates for disposals of such chargeable asset form 1 January 2014 be revised as follows: Disposal time frame RPGT rates Within 3 years 30 % th 20% th In the 5 year 15 % In the 6 year and subsequent year 5% In the 4 year th The tax allowable expenses are governed by Section 33(1) and Section 63B of the Act. Section 33(1) generally provides for a deduction of expenses “wholly and exclusively” incurred in the production of gross income. Whilst, Section 63B allows the Funds to deduct a permitted expenses.
