RISK FACTORS Any investment carries with it an element of risk. Therefore, prior to making an investment, prospective INVESTORS should consider the following risk factors in addition to the other information set out in this Prospectus. 4.1 GENERAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN UNIT TRUST FUND 4.1.1 Fund Management Risk The selection of securities which make up the assets of the Funds is a subjective process. Securities selected by the investment manager may perform better or worse than the overall stock market, or as compared to portfolios selected by their competitors. This risk can be managed through an active and frequent trading strategy by professional and experienced fund manager. 4.1.2. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk refers to the Fund’s ability to convert an investment into cash without incurring an overly significant loss in value. If a security encounters a liquidity crunch, the security may need to be sold at a discount to the fair market value of the security. This in turn may affect the performance of the Funds or the ability of the Fund to honour requests for redemption by Unit holders. The risk can be minimised by actively managing asset allocation of the Fund and maintaining sufficient level of liquid assets to meet anticipated payments and cancellation of units by Unit holders. 4.1.3. Inflation/Purchasing Power Risk A unit trust fund is subject to the risk of an investor’s investment not growing proportionately to the inflation rate thus decreasing the investor’s purchasing power even though the investment in monetary terms has increased. The risk can be minimised by investing in securities that can provide a real rate of return that equals or exceed the inflation rate. 4.1.4. Loan Financing Risk The risk occurs when you take a loan provided by a financial institution to finance your purchase of units. Investing in a Fund using borrowed money is more risky than investing using your own money. The inherent risk of investing with borrowed money includes the ability to service loan repayments and the effect of increases in interest rates and your ability to provide additional collateral. The Unit Trust Loan Financing Risk Disclosure Statement Form attached (please refer to page 148) sets out the risks in detail. 4.1.5. Non-Compliance Risk The operations and administration of the Funds by the Manager are governed by the Deed, all applicable laws and regulations. Non-adherence may potentially affect the performance of Fund. The risk could be minimised by imposing stringent internal controls and ensuring that compliance monitoring are undertaken through regular audit and cross-departmental checking. The risk is mitigated further with the presence of the Trustee who is appointed to oversee the functions of the management of the Funds. 26 www.asnb.com.my ASNB MASTER PROSPECTUS 2013/2014 4.1.6. Operational Risk The risk of loss to you arising from inadequacies in, or failures of, our internal procedures and controls for monitoring and quantifying the risks and contractual obligations associated with investments in a Fund. Although the occurrence of such events is very unlikely, the Manager seeks to mitigate the risk through the establishment of systematic operational procedures and stringent internal controls. 4.1.7 Force majeure risk It is the risk that there will be an event beyond the control of the Manager, which prevents the Manager from complying with any of its obligations under this Prospectus, including but not limited to:(a) acts of God (such as, but not limited to, fires, explosions, earthworks, drought, tidal waves and floods); (b) war, hostilities (whether war be declared or not), invasion, act of foreign enemies, mobilization, requisition, embargo, rebellion, revolution, insurrection or military or usurped power or civil war; (c) contamination by radio-activity from any nuclear fuel, or from any nuclear waste from the combustion of nuclear fuel, radio-active toxic explosive, or other hazardous properties of any explosive nuclear assembly or nuclear component of such assembly; (d) riot, commotion, strikes, go slows, lock outs or disorder, unless restricted to employees of the Manager; (e) acts or threats of terrorism; and (f) any other emergency circumstances that materially and adversely prevent the Manager from operating normally. Management will undertake appropriate actions in ensuring continuity of day to day ongoing business operations in the event of the above mentioned risk. 4.2 SPECIFIC INVESTMENT RISKS 4.2.1. Capital Market Risk The performance of unit trust funds is subject to fluctuations in the capital market, which includes the stock market and other securities market which may affect the value of investments positively or negatively. The capital market is influenced by certain factors such as changes in the economic climate, movement in interest rates, changes in the political and social environment and the performance of overseas capital markets. The risk is managed through constant monitoring of the asset allocation and to undertake prompt response of any adverse condition to ensure minimum impact. The Funds also will be constructed in a manner that the portfolio is well diversified across securities, asset classes and market sectors. 4.2.2. Stock Specific Risk Stock specific risk is the portion of risk which is unique to the issuer of the securities. Typically, specific risk can be associated with management errors, shifts in consumer taste, advertising campaigns, lawsuits and competitive industry conditions that may cause the NAV or prices of units to be volatile as well. Therefore, the income produced by the Fund particularly income from sale of investments may also fluctuate. This risk can be managed by the very nature of the Fund that invest in a well diversified portfolio of securities across asset classes and market sectors so that the volatility of the NAV could be minimised. It also can be mitigated through having sound and disciplined valuation methodologies, sufficient margin of safety and adequate diversification. 27 www.asnb.com.my ASNB MASTER PROSPECTUS 2013/2014 4.2.3. Credit/Default Risk Credit/default risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a fixed income security or bond may not be able to make interest payments or repay the principal in a timely manner. This will translate to losses that will reduce the value of a Fund. The credit/default risk is managed by ensuring the Funds will only invest in fixed income instruments which are considered safe for timely payment of financial obligations and have good credit ratings. 4.2.4 Currency Risk (if applicable) Currency risk or foreign exchange risk is a risk associated investments that are in foreign currencies denomination. When foreign currencies fluctuate in an unfavourable movement against the RM, the investment may face currency loss in addition to the capital gains/losses. This may in turn affect the performance of the Funds. The risks could be minimised by diversifying the investments across differing currencies or by hedging the currencies when it is deemed necessary. 4.2.5 Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk refers to the Fund’s ability to convert an investment into cash without incurring an overly significant loss in value. If a security encounters a liquidity crunch, the security may need to be sold at a discount to the fair market value of the security. This in turn may affect the performance of the Funds or the ability of the Fund to honour requests for redemption by Unit holders. The risk can be minimised by actively managing asset allocation of the Fund and maintaining sufficient level of liquid assets to meet anticipated payments and cancellation of units by Unit holders. 4.2.6 Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk arises due to changes in interest rates which affect the fair value of fixed income instruments. Interest rate risk is managed by conducting regular reviews of interest rates and market expectation. Please refer to the specific Fund for details of principal risks on investing in each Fund in Sections 3.1 to 3.9. These risks are being reported to the Risk Management Committee on a regular basis. 28 www.asnb.com.my ASNB MASTER PROSPECTUS 2013/2014 5. INFORMATION ON THE FUNDS 5.1.

Effective 6 July 2009, Bursa Malaysia has replaced the KLCI composite index (KLCI) with the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index 30 (FBM 30), which now known as FBM KLCI. However since the FBM KLCI are limited to 30 stocks components, against KLCI’s 100 stocks’ components, the Manager has decided to use the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Top 100 (FBM 100) as the Funds equity benchmark replacing the KLCI. FBM 100 consists of 100 stocks components from various important sectors such as Property, Technology, Insurance and Construction. The use of FBM 100 is more appropriate with the Funds investment policy and strategy. The graphs showing “Performance since inception against benchark” for ASN, ASN 2, ASN 3 and ASG in the following pages indicate such performance since the availability of the FBM 100 in 1996. 6.2 BASIS OF CALCULATIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS IN CALCULATION OF RETURNS The following are the basis of calculation and any assumption made in calculating the returns: (a) The average total return and average annual returns of the Funds presented on pages 51 to 56 are calculated on NAV-to-NAV basis with the following assumptions: • The NAV reflects the actual amount of Funds a fund manager has to invest/ work with. • Income Distribution is re-invested. • No purchase and redemption. • No sales charge. (b) Annualised returns for all variable-price funds are derived by the rate of returns on an annual basis over the entire period of investment. The formula for annualised return is as follows: [(1 + r1) (1 + r2)…..(1 + r n )] 1/n ‐ 1 x 100 Whereby, r = annual return n = number of years 52 www.asnb.com.my ASNB MASTER PROSPECTUS 2013/2014 (c) The annual total return is computed as follows: Capital Return : 1 : 100 100 Income Return : 1 1 1 100 Total Return (d) The average total returns for all fixed-price Funds presented on pages 57 to 61 are calculated as follows: i. 1-year return is income distribution for that year. ii. 3-year return is income distribution for that year plus the income distribution for the previous two years divided by 3. iii. 5-year return is income distribution for that year plus the income distribution for the previous four years divided by 5. iv. Since inception return is the income distribution made by the Fund since launched. v. The rate for 3-month KLIBOR which is more than one year will be computed based on the average rate at the end of financial year of respective Fund. vi. The average total return of the Funds refers to the average distribution of income in sen per unit. Distribution of bonus of ASB, paid by PNB (if any), is based on minimum monthly balance for 10 years. PNB does not guarantee that bonus payments will be made every year. vii. The average of the 5-year MGS which is more than one year is calculated by monthly average 5-year MGS divided by number of months under review.

TRANSACTION INFORMATION 9.1 VALUATION POINTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING THE NAV NAV per unit is determined based on historical pricing and calculated at the end of the preceding Business Day. We will revalue the Fund’s NAV as at the mid-day Valuation Point and re-price the units where the NAV of the Fund differs by more than 5% from the NAV as at the last Valuation Point. The mid-day Valuation Point is the time of the mid-day close of business of the Eligible Market. Unit holders are advised to note that all transactions are subject to a rounding mechanism, whereby the total investment amount or total proceeds/redemption is rounded upwards or downwards to the nearest multiple of 5 sen effective 1 April 2008. 9.2 NAV FOR ASN, ASN 2, ASN 3, ASG-Pendidikan, ASG-Kesihatan AND ASG-Persaraan The valuation of units is based on the NAV of the Fund. The NAV per unit of the Fund is calculated by dividing the Fund’s NAV by the number of UIC, rounded to four decimal places. The NAV per unit forms the basis for the computation of the unit price. Illustration: Computation of the NAV per unit at each valuation point is illustrated below: Less:Liabilities Net Asset Value RM 231,000,000 34,500,000 6,100,000 271,600,000 (16,500,000) 255,100,000 Units in Circulation (units) 326,500,000 Quoted Investments Liquid Assets Other Assets Net Asset Value per unit NAV per unit, rounded to 4 decimal places 9.3 = NAV Units in circulation = RM255,100,000 326,500,000 units = RM0.781317 = RM0.7813 PRICING POLICY (a) Pricing of Variable-Price Unit Trust Funds The price of ASN, ASN 2, ASN 3, ASG-Pendidikan, ASG-Kesihatan and ASG-Persaraan, NAV per unit is determined based on historical pricing and calculated at the end of the preceding Business Day. The Manager will re-price the units if the NAV per unit of the Fund, if revalued, differs by more than 5% from the NAV per unit at the last valuation point. 77 www.asnb.com.my ASNB MASTER PROSPECTUS 2013/2014 In the event of any incorrect pricing of NAV per unit of the Fund: The Manager shall take immediate remedial action where the incorrect pricing: (i) is equal or more than 0.5% of the NAV per unit; and (ii) results in a sum of RM10.00 or more to be reimbursed to the affected Unit holder for each purchase or repurchase transaction. Subject to any regulatory requirements, the Manager shall have the right to amend, vary and revise the above said limits or threshold from time to time. (b) Pricing of Fixed-Price Unit Trust Funds (i) As the units of ASB, ASW 2020, ASM, ASD and AS 1Malaysia are transacted at a fixed price of RM1.00 a unit, it is not necessary to value the units on each Business Day. (ii) Prices and Charges for Fixed-Price Funds. For ASB, ASW 2020, ASM, ASD and AS 1Malaysia, the buying and selling price of unit is fixed at RM1.00. There are no charges imposed for buying and selling of units of ASB, ASW 2020, ASM and ASD. For AS 1Malaysia the sales charge is up to 1.0% of the invested amount. However, the Manager has the discretion either to waive or to reduce the sales charge. 9.4 SINGLE PRICING POLICY FOR ASN, ASN 2, ASN 3, ASG-Pendidikan, ASG-Kesihatan AND ASG-Persaraan The Manager adopts the single pricing policy in calculating your investment and repurchase of units. “Single pricing” which equates to sales and repurchases quoted and transacted on a single price (i.e NAV per unit), is easier to understand and facilitate investors in comparing the different charges imposed and assist investors in making an informed decision about their choice of investment products. Under the single pricing policy, the selling price for units of a Fund is the NAV per unit. However you will be imposed a sales charge for making an investment in the Fund. As the basis of calculation is historical pricing, the price will be the NAV per unit, calculated at the end of the previous Business Day. Sales Charge of 5% of the NAV per unit will be added as part of the purchase cost. 78 www.asnb.com.my ASNB MASTER PROSPECTUS 2013/2014 9.4.1 Making an investment Illustration 1: If you are making an investment: (i) Assuming amount you wish to invest (“Investment amount”): RM10,000.00 in ASN.

In making an investment transaction for the Fund, the Investment Manager will not make improper use of its position in managing the Funds to gain, directly or indirectly, any advantage or to cause detriment to the interests of Unit holders. As at LPD, to the best of the Manager’s knowledge, there has been no event of conflict of interest by the Manager. Where a conflict or potential conflict of interest is identified, this must be evaluated by the Compliance Department and disclosed to the Executive Director (“ED”) of the Manager for the next course of action. Conflict of interest situations involving the ED will be disclosed to the Board of Directors of the Manager for a decision on the next course of action. Directors or staff, who are in advisory positions such as portfolio managers or staff who have access to information on transactions are not allowed to engage in 126 www.asnb.com.my ASNB MASTER PROSPECTUS 2013/2014 dealings on their own account. Investment Committee members who hold substantial shareholdings or directorships in public companies shall refrain from any decision making if the Fund invests in the particular share or stocks of such companies. We,and the Investment Manager have formulated policies and adopted certain procedures to prevent conflicts of interest and potential conflicts of interest situations. These include the following: i.

The policy includes a requirement for all employees to submit a written declaration of their interests in the securities of limited companies, prohibition of employees involved in share trading on the stock market, from trading in the open market in their private capacity, except with approval from the President and Group Chief Executive, or for the purpose of disposing shares in quoted limited companies acquired through sources permitted by the company. ii. Limits set when using brokers or/and financial institutions for dealings of the investments of the unit trust funds. iii. Duties for making investment decisions, raising accounting entries, and making payments are properly segregated and carried out by different departments which are headed by separate persons. iv. Investment procedures, authorised signatories and authorised limits are properly documented in the ISO Manual of the PNB Group. v. The setting up of the Compliance Committee of the PNB Group, a committee of the Board of Directors of PNB, whose duties include reviewing compliance issues, including conflicts of interest situations. vi. Holding regular meetings with the Trustee to discuss issues related to the management of the unit trust fund, including conflicts of interest situations. vii.
