4. INTRODUCTION TO UNIT TRUST INVESTMENTS
THE BASICS
Introduction to Unit Trusts - What is a Unit Trust?
A unit trust fund is a collective investment scheme, which pools the savings of investors with similar
investment objectives in a special “trust” fund managed by professional fund managers. The fund will
then be invested in a diversified portfolio of equities, fixed income securities and other assets in
accordance with the fund’s investment objectives and as permitted under the Guidelines.
The organisation of a unit trust fund is a tripartite relationship between the manager, the trustee and the
unitholders. The obligations and rights of each of the three parties are specified in the deed, a legal
document entered into between the manager and the trustee and registered with the SC. The deed is
designed to govern the operations of the fund and protect the unitholders’ interest. The manager is
responsible for the management and operations of the fund whilst the trustee holds all the assets of the
fund.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
The SC was established pursuant to the SCA. Section 15(1)(e) of the SCA stipulates that amongst the
functions of the SC, the SC shall regulate all matters relating to unit trust schemes. The SC has
formulated the Guidelines to govern the operation and administration of unit trust schemes. The SCA and
the Guidelines have been established with the objective of providing a regulatory environment that would
protect the interests of the investing public and facilitate the orderly development of the unit trust
industry. All parties involved in unit trust schemes must comply with the SCA and Guidelines including
all relevant legislation.
As part of the SC Requirements, the appointment of the Manager, its Directors, Chief Executive Officer,
Investment Committee members, the Trustee and Syariah Committee Members/Advisers must be, and
have been, approved by the SC.
THE BENEFITS
How can you benefit from investing in Unit Trusts?
Unit trusts provide unitholders with a simple, convenient and less time-consuming method of investing in
securities as compared to investing directly in the stock market or any other Eligible Market. Unitholders
are able to benefit from the expertise of full-time professional fund managers without the need to worry
about the kind of stocks to buy and when to get in and out of the market. By investing in unit trusts,
investors have the opportunity to spread their money over a diversified portfolio of assets which
otherwise may not be possible on their own. There are also potential risks involved and these are
itemised on page 26.
Why would you want to invest in Unit Trusts?
Listed below are the benefits associated with unit trust funds:
1. Professional Investment Services
You have full-time professional fund managers to manage your investments for you. Investment
decisions are backed by extensive research, market analysis and vigilant monitoring of the economic
and market environment. The fund manager has the requisite expertise, experience and qualitative
tools to manage and maintain such services whereas as an individual investor, you may not have the
benefit of such skills to make a fully informed decision if you are investing on your own directly into
the capital markets.
2. Diversification Opportunities & Minimised Risks
Investing in unit trust funds provides you with the opportunity to spread your money over a
diversified portfolio of assets which otherwise may not be possible for investors with small capital. A
unit trust fund facilitates the diversification process as it provides small investors with an avenue to
pool their savings for the purchase of a diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds that will potentially
bring returns with lesser risks than when investing directly in the KLSE or any other Eligible Market.
3. Affordable
As the minimum initial investment amount in most unit trust funds is relatively low, they are
affordable as compared with direct investment in securities, with the added benefits of diversification
and access to professional investment services as outlined in paragraphs 1 and 2 above. As an
investor, you can choose to invest in unit trusts that fit your risk profile and financial requirements.
4. Convenience
You can rid yourself of the unnecessary stress and paperwork that come with managing your own
stocks and shares or bonds portfolio, keeping track of your contract notes, share certificates, rights
and bonus issues and so on. It is very easy to purchase or sell back your units at any of the Manager’s
or agent’s offices. On top of this, the Manager will send the fund’s interim and annual reports to keep
you informed on the performance of the fund.
25
5. Liquidity
Unlike your investments in fixed assets such as land and properties which will take a relatively
longer time to liquidate, you may sell all or part of your unitholdings to the manager on any Business
Day, making it easy to withdraw your money.
THE POTENTIAL RISKS
What kind of risks are you taking?
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 elsewhere
in this Master Prospectus.
1. Returns Not Guaranteed
The Manager would not be in a position to guarantee distribution, capital appreciation or investment
returns to the unitholders or that the investment objectives of the fund will be achieved. By investing
in a wide range of securities, the Manager attempts to balance this risk with the investment rewards.
2. Manager’s Risk
The performance of any unit trust fund is dependent amongst others on the experience, knowledge,
expertise and investment techniques adopted by the Investment Manager and any lack of the above
would negatively impact on the funds’ performance thereby working to the detriment of the
Unitholders.
3. Loan Financing Risk
If you obtain a loan to finance your purchase of units, you need to understand that:
• borrowing increases the possibility for gains as well as losses;
• if the value of your investment falls below a certain level, you may be asked by the financial
institution to top up the collateral or reduce the outstanding loan amount to the required level;
• your ability to pay your loan instalments may be affected by unforeseen circumstances in the
future such as loss of employment.
(The Unit Trust Loan Financing Risk Disclosure Statement Form annexed as Appendix 1 hereto sets
out the risks in detail).
4. Risk of Non-Compliance
This refers to the current and prospective risk to the Funds and unitholders' interest arising from nonconformance with laws, rules, regulations, prescribed practices and internal policies and procedures
by the Manager. Risk of non-compliance can lead to diminished reputation, reduced franchise value,
limited business opportunities and reduced expansion potential for the company. Non-compliance
may result in a fall to the value of the unit trust funds which in turn may affect unitholders'
investment goals. However, the risk can be mitigated by the internal controls and compliance
monitoring undertaken by the Manager.
5. Currency Risk
Where a percentage of the value of a fund is invested in foreign currency or assets denominated in a
foreign currency, the fund may be exposed to currency fluctuation risks. Fluctuation in foreign
exchange rates will have an impact on the income of the Fund. The currency fluctuation risk is
managed by adhering to the prescribed percentage of investment allowed in foreign securities.
6. Country Risk
The investments may be affected by the political and economic conditions of the country in which
the investments are made. Such political and economic factors may influence the growth and
development of business and have an adverse impact on the prices of shares of listed companies.
However, this risk may be mitigated through prudent diversification of equity investments across
different countries.
26
The potential risks associated with funds that invest in equities can be analysed as follows:
7. Market Risk
Any purchase of equities will involve an element of risk. As unit trust funds principally invest in
listed stocks, they may be prone to changing market conditions as a result of global, regional or
national economic conditions, governmental policies or political developments. That is why investors
are exposed to market uncertainties and fluctuation in the market caused by these uncertainties will
affect the market price of unit trust funds which may fall or rise, thus causing the income generated
by the fund to fluctuate.
8. Stock Specific Risk
Any irregular fluctuation in the value of a particular stock may affect the unit price in a fund. This
impact is however minimised where the fund invests in a wide portfolio of investments, thus
spreading the element of risk.
9. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the securities invested in cannot be readily sold and converted into cash.
This may occur when the trading volume is low and/or where there is a lack of demand for the
security. If a unit trust fund has a large portfolio of stocks issued by smaller companies, the relative
illiquidity of these stocks can cause the value of the fund to fall because there are generally less ready
buyers of such stocks as compared with the stocks of larger and more established companies.
Liquidity risk is limited by exercising prudence in the selection of stocks and diversification.
The potential risks associated with funds that invest in debentures can be analysed as follows:
10. Credit Risk
A fund may be exposed to the credit or default risk of an issuer of debentures that the fund invests in,
in particular bonds and private debt securities. These particular issuers may incur difficulty in
making full and timely repayments of principal and interest which may lead to a default in the
payment of principal and interest and ultimately, a fall in the value of the fund.
11. Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is inherent in investments of a fund in debentures, especially for bond or fixed
income funds. Interest rate fluctuations may be attributed to market risks that affect the level of risk
free rate. Prices of bonds move inversely with interest rates and would fall in a period of rising
interest rates. Investors will suffer capital losses when interest rates rise, resulting in a fall in bond
prices. Interest rate risk is particularly high for long term bonds, and tends to be lower for short term
bonds. Interest rate risk is a general economic indicator that will impact on the management of a fund
regardless of whether it is a Syariah-based fund or otherwise. It does not in any way suggest that
Syariah-based funds will invest in fixed income/debt securities, which are not Syariah approved. All
the investments for Syariah-based funds accord with the Syariah principles, the latter being derived
from the sources of Islamic jurisprudence namely the Quran, the Sunnah, the Ijma’ and the Qiyas.
Managing Risks For The Funds
The Manager will take reasonable steps to ensure that the above potential risks are managed by
constructing an efficient portfolio of assets as diversification reduces the risk significantly as compared to
investing in one or two companies or type of securities or instruments only. In addition, the Investment
Manager will seek to reduce these risks by virtue of its experience, the analytical process adopted by its
fund managers and by structuring a broadly diversified investment pool.
27
Comparison between investing in unit trusts and investment in stocks
An investor who invests in unit trust funds stands to benefit from a diversified portfolio of assets with
just a minimal investment amount, which may otherwise not be possible if he or she invests directly in
the stock market with the same amount of investment. The exposure of the investment to overall market
risk is minimised owing to diversification. The investor may also stand to benefit from ringgit cost
averaging by investing additional amounts in a fund regularly over the long term and in this way need not
worry about market timing. (However, it should be noted that ringgit cost averaging does not guarantee a
better return of investment in a fund).
Comparison between investing in unit trusts and investment in bank deposits
An investor who invests in unit trust funds may potentially benefit from a higher rate of return. In a low
interest rate environment, investment in a unit trust may fetch a better rate of return than by depositing all
the monies in the bank. Although the underlying risks of investing in unit trust are higher, the overall risk
is minimised through diversification.
Typical Unit Trust Investor Profile
An investor investing in unit trust funds would be someone who seeks a cost efficient way to diversify or
spread his or her investment risk and to access markets and investments which he or she may not be able
to access through direct personal investment. At the same time, the investor understands and accepts the
potential risks associated with investments in unit trust funds which may bring benefits and possible
returns.
Charges, Fees and Expenses
Charges may be imposed directly on the purchase (sales charges) or redemption (redemption charges) of
units in a unit trust fund, as well as on any switching facility or transfer of the units. Unit trust funds are
typically subject to management fees and trustee fees of the management company and trustee
respectively. Other expenses of unit trust funds may include brokerage, transaction costs, custodian fees,
valuation fees, audit fees and other expenses related to the operation of the fund and allowed under the
deed for the relevant fund. Only the expenses that are directly related and necessary to the business of a
fund and allowed under the deed are payable or reimbursable out of the fund’s assets.
Management Expense Ratio (MER)
MER is the ratio of the sum of the fees and the recovered expenses of the unit trust scheme to the average
value of the unit trust scheme, calculated on a daily basis. The MER reflects the level of fees and
expenses incurred by the Fund during the time your money is invested in the fund. The MER takes into
account expenses paid directly from the fund and is made up of 3 components – manager’s fees, trustee’s
fees and the expenses permitted by the deed relating to the fund incurred in the administration and
investment of the fund. The higher the ratio, the more expenses are incurred by the fund. The lower the
MER, the more beneficial it is to the investor. A lower MER is also an indicator of how well the manager
is managing the expenses of the fund.
28
Understanding the Performance Indicators
Performance data of a unit trust fund can be calculated over a variety of daily, weekly, monthly, and
yearly time periods or over any time range. The performance of a unit trust fund over a specific time
period can be measured and assessed using one or more of the following performance indicators:• Change in total Net Asset Value - A measurement of the change, usually in percentage, in a fund's
total net asset value over the specific time period, taking into account the effects of any income
distribution to unit holders during the same period.
• Total Returns - A measurement of the returns of the unit trust fund including interest and dividend
income earned from securities holding and gains/losses from disposal of securities held by the fund.
The total returns over a specific time period can be measured and compared with the total returns
over another time period.
• Unit Price - A comparison of the net asset value per unit of the unit trust fund between two specific
points in time. However, this comparison alone is not accurate as it does not take into account the
effect of events such as income distribution to unit holders or unit split over the time period that
reduces the net asset value per unit.
• Comparison with Benchmark – Where a unit trust fund has adopted a benchmark, the performance of
the fund would also be measured against the selected benchmark, generally in terms of the
percentage change of the total net asset value of the fund’s underlying assets over a specific time
period, and compared with the percentage change in the value of the benchmark over the same time
period.
The change in the total NAV, Total Returns and Comparison with Benchmark is depicted in various
financial periodicals and some leading newspapers and appears alongside the performance of all unit trust
funds within Malaysia. This comes in the form of a table and is prepared by various independent fundrating companies. The Unit Prices of unit trust funds are published daily by the local newspapers.

5. THE FUNDS IN DETAIL
DGF
Investment objective
To achieve capital appreciation over the medium to long term through all types of investments that have
the potential for above average growth over time.
Any material changes to the investment objective of the Fund would require Unitholders’ approval.
Investment strategy
The strategy will be to invest up to a maximum of 98% in equities.
Investment policy
The Fund invests primarily in equities, with a bias towards growth stocks that have the potential to
deliver long-term capital appreciation. To a lesser extent, it invests in fixed income securities primarily
for the purpose of cash management.
The type and characteristics of the securities/instruments including risks associated with such
securities/instruments
The primary risks associated with equity investments is market, liquidity and stock specific risks, while
investment in fixed income securities would introduce credit, liquidity and interest rate risks. As the Fund
also invests in foreign securities, it will be exposed to currency exchange and external political risks as
well. The nature of such risks is explained on page 26.
The Investment Manager’s asset allocation strategy
Up to 98% of the Fund will be invested in equities, and at least 2% in Liquid Assets. The asset allocation
will be reviewed periodically depending on the country’s economic and stock market outlook. In a rising
market, this 98% limit may be breached, however the Manager will seek to adjust this within a time
frame approved by the Trustee.
Performance Benchmark
KLCI
The risk management strategies and techniques to be employed by the Investment Manager
Asset mix - The Fund will manage exposure to market risk primarily by adjusting the portfolio mix of
equities, fixed income instruments and cash. An overweight exposure to equities would denote a bullish
market outlook for this class of asset and vice versa.
Securities selection - The Fund will invest in a diversified portfolio of value, growth and defensive stocks
and high quality fixed income securities. This is to reduce the risk associated with liquidity and nonsystemic risk. For fixed income securities, interest rate risk is managed by adjusting the duration of the
portfolio and credit rating of fixed income securities in the portfolio.
Futures - The Investment Manager may use futures to hedge against market risk as and when deemed
appropriate.
Market selection - For foreign securities, the Investment Manager focuses on investing in the major
established markets for their high liquidity and low political risk. Foreign cash are kept in US Dollar or
Hong Kong Dollar to minimize the exchange rate risk.
30
The Fund’s principal strategy in attempting to respond to adverse market conditions, economic,
political, or any other conditions
The Fund, being an equity fund, would generally maintain a high exposure to equities. During adverse
market, economic, and political conditions, the principal strategy of the Investment Manager would be to
reduce the level of exposure to equities. Where appropriate, futures will be used to adjust the effective
exposure to equities in the portfolio. Meanwhile, during normal conditions, the Investment Manager
would ensure that a portion of the investments is made up of securities which are defensive in nature such
as the large capitalized stocks which are also industry leaders, stocks with high dividend payout, and
fixed income instruments of high quality investment grade. This helps to reduce the volatility in the
portfolio during adverse market conditions.
The bases of valuation of all types of securities/instruments invested
Quoted investments in Malaysia are valued at the last done market price quoted on the KLSE. Quoted
investments outside Malaysia are valued at the latest available market price quoted on the stock exchange
in which they are listed on. The carrying value of the unquoted fixed income securities are carried at cost
and adjusted for amortisation of any premium or accretion of discount over their par values at the time of
acquisition. The carrying value of the unquoted fixed income securities is revalued to reflect its fair value
(current value) using the net present value method.
However, if a valuation based on the market price does not represent the fair value of the securities, for
example during abnormal market conditions or no market price is available, including in the event of a
suspension in the quotation of the securities for a period exceeding 14 days, or such shorter period as
agreed by the Trustee, then the securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Manager, based
on the methods or bases approved by the Trustee after appropriate technical consultation.

ECO
To achieve long term high capital growth through investments in emerging companies with market
capitalisation of up to RM1,250,000,000 (Ringgit Malaysia One Billion Two Hundred and Fifty Million)
each at the point of purchase.
Investment strategy
The strategy will be to invest in securities of such emerging companies with strong potential growth and
hands-on management policies but lacking in track records.
Investment policy
The Fund invests primarily in equities, with a bias towards stocks in emerging companies which have the
potential to deliver long-term capital appreciation. To a lesser extent, it also invests in fixed income
securities.
The primary risks associated with equity investments are market, liquidity and stock specific risks, while
investment in fixed income securities would introduce credit, liquidity and interest rate risks.
As the Fund also invests in foreign securities, it will be exposed to currency exchange and external
political risk as well. The nature of such risks is explained on page 26.
Up to 98% of the Fund will be invested in securities and other permitted investments and at least 2% in
Liquid Assets. The asset allocation will be reviewed periodically depending on the country's economic
and stock market outlook. In a rising market, this 98% limit may be breached, however the Manager will
seek to adjust this within a time frame approved by the Trustee.
KL EMAS
Asset mix - The Fund will manage exposure to market risk primarily by adjusting the portfolio mix of
equities, fixed income instruments and cash. An overweight exposure to equities would denote a bullish
market outlook for this class of asset and vice versa.
Securities selection - The Fund will invest in a diversified portfolio of value, growth and defensive stocks
and high quality fixed income securities. This is to reduce the risk associated with liquidity and nonsystemic risk. For fixed income securities, interest rate risk is managed by adjusting the duration of the
portfolio and credit rating of fixed income securities in the portfolio.
Futures - The Investment Manager may use futures to hedge against market risk as and when deemed
appropriate.
Market selection - For foreign securities, the Investment Manager focuses on investing in the major
established markets for their high liquidity and low political risk. Foreign cash is kept in US Dollar or
Hong Kong Dollar to minimize the exchange rate risk.
33
The Fund, being an equity fund, would generally maintain a high exposure to equities. During adverse
market, economic, and political conditions, the principal strategy of the Investment Manager is to reduce
the level of exposure to equities. Where appropriate, futures will be used to adjust the effective exposure
to equities in the portfolio. Meanwhile, during normal conditions, the Investment Manager would ensure
that a portion of the investments is made up of securities which are defensive in nature such as the large

SF
To seek long term growth in capital and income by investing in all types of investments.
Investment strategy
Being a balanced fund, the strategy will be to invest up to a maximum of 60% in equities and the
remainder in fixed income securities with at least 2% in Liquid Assets.
Investment policy
The SF is a balanced fund. It aims to achieve long-term growth by investing primarily in equities and
fixed income securities. The fixed income portion will provide capital protection to the Fund while the
equity portion will provide the added return in a rising market.
The Fund invests principally in equities and fixed income securities. The primary risks associated with
equity investments are stock market and stock specific risks while investment in fixed income securities
will introduce credit and interest rate risks. The nature of such risks is explained on page 26.
Up to 60% of the Fund will be invested in equities and a minimum of 40% will be invested in Liquid
Assets and bonds, of which at least 2% is in Liquid Assets. The asset allocation will be reviewed
periodically depending on the country's economic and stock market outlook. In a rising market, this 60%
limit may be breached, however the Manager will seek to adjust this within a time frame approved by the
Trustee.

The risk management strategies and techniques to be employed by the Investment Manager.
Asset mix – The Investment Manager underweights/overweights equities to ensure consistent
performance over time. This helps to minimize market risks and short-term market volatility.
Stock selection – The Investment Manager is very focused in the stock selection process to ensure the
stocks they buy are justifiable fundamentally and have growth potential over a 2-year period. This helps
to minimise stock risks. In addition, the Investment Manager invests in a portfolio of stocks to ensure
sufficient diversification.
Futures – The Investment Manager may use futures to hedge against market risks as and when deemed
appropriate.
Cash and fixed income securities – The Investment Manager may reduce equity exposure in favour of
cash and fixed income securities in the event the market outlook is not favourable.
In response to adverse market conditions, economic, political or any other conditions, the Investment
Manager will reduce equity exposure in favour of cash/fixed income securities to protect the capital of
the Fund. The Investment Manager may also use futures to hedge against market risks when deemed
appropriate.

To achieve maximum capital appreciation over the long term through all types of investments.
Investment strategy
The strategy will be to invest up to a maximum of 98% in equities.
Investment policy
The HGF is an equity growth fund. It aims to achieve long-term capital growth by investing primarily in
equities. The Investment Manager overweights equities when underlying conditions are favourable, and
underweights equities in favour of fixed income instruments when conditions deteriorate.

DALI
To achieve consistent capital growth over the medium to long term.
Investment strategy
The strategy will be to invest in permissible investments in accordance with applicable Syariah Principles
and regulatory policies.
Investment policy
DALI is an equity growth fund that adheres to Syariah Principles. It aims to achieve medium to long
term capital appreciation through Syariah approved investments.
The Fund aims to invest in Syariah-approved equities and fixed income instruments. The primary risks
associated with equity investments are stock market and stock specific risks while investment in fixed
income securities will introduce credit and liquidity risks. The nature of such risks is explained on page
26.
Up to 98% of the Fund will be invested in securities and other permissible investments and at least 2% in

Asset allocation – The Investment Manager will attempt to rebalance the Fund’s asset mix by
overweighting/underweighting equities to suit the market conditions. This will ensure consistent
performance, less short-term volatility and helps minimize market risks.
Stock selection – Stocks specific risks are minimized by focusing on the stock selection process to ensure
the stocks that are selected have strong fundamentals and good potential growth over a 2-year period. In
addition, the Investment Manager will also construct a well-diversified portfolio to ensure sufficient risk
diversification.

BOF
To provide investors with an opportunity to gain higher than average income over the medium to long
term by investing in a diversified portfolio consisting principally of bonds, certificates of deposit, short
term money market instruments and other permissible instruments.
Investment strategy
The strategy will be to invest in a diversified portfolio consisting principally of bonds, certificates of
deposit, short-term money market instruments and other permisible instruments.
Investment policy
The BOF aims to provide a steady stream of income via distributions to investors by investing in
approved fixed income securities.
A significant portion of the Fund is invested in fixed income securities as they have relatively less risks
as compared to equities but are expected to provide better returns than ordinary money market
placements. Fixed income securities or bonds are basically debt instruments where the borrower is a
government, institution or a corporate entity that acquires funds from lenders and will provide a certain
amount of returns in the form of interest income or discounts. These bonds are tradable in the secondary
market. Fixed income securities are exposed to market, credit, and liquidity risks, which result in the
fluctuation of the value of these bonds from time to time. The nature of such risks is explained on page
26.
Up to 98% of the Fund will be invested in fixed income securities and other permissible investments and
at least 2% in Liquid Assets. The asset allocation will be reviewed periodically depending on the
country’s economic and stock market outlook. In a rising market, the 98% limit may be breached.
However the Manager will seek to adjust this within a time frame approved by the Trustee.
RAM Quantshop MGS All Index. This is generated by an independent fund-rating company and can be
found in a fact sheet that we provide monthly to Unitholders and the public.
To mitigate potential risks, the Investment Manager will take reasonable measures. These measures
include:
• Lengthening or shortening the Fund’s average maturity or duration (within the Fund’s objective)
in anticipation of changing interest rates.
• Selecting investments that carry ratings of “BBB” (rated by Rating Agency Malaysia Berhad and
Malaysian Rating Corporation Berhad) and above and/or to invest in bank or government
guaranteed investments or investments that are secured against assets to mitigate default risks.
• Diversification of investments by holding a basket of fixed income securities to greatly reduce
the risk as compared to investing in a single asset class or a single bond.
• Channeling profits in excess of the average annual dividend into a reserve account which will be
used in times when profits are insufficient to meet distributions.
45
The Fund would generally maintain a high exposure to bonds. During adverse market, economic, and
political conditions, the principal strategy of the Investment Manager is to reduce the Fund’s bond
holdings. Where appropriate, futures will be used to adjust the portfolio’s effective exposure to bonds.
1) Interest Rate Risk / Market Risk
Prices of bonds move inversely or in the opposite direction with interest rates. When interest rates
rise, prices of bonds fall. This rise in interest rates would cause the investor to face the risk of capital
loss. But, when interest rates fall, prices of bonds would increase, therefore investors would see
capital gains.
2) Credit / Default Risk
This refers to the creditworthiness of the bond issuer and its expected ability to repay its debt. Default
happens when the issuer is not able to make timely payments of interest on the coupon payment date
or principal repayment on the maturity date. This will affect the performance of the Fund in terms of
income generated by the Fund.
3) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity is the ability to convert an investment portfolio to cash without suffering a noticeable loss
in value. The Malaysian bond market is not as liquid as the equity market and this may affect the
price of any bond.
4) Inflation / Purchasing Power Risk
Inflation can be defined as increases of the price level of goods and services and is commonly
reported using the Consumer Price Index as a measure. Inflation is one of the major risks to investors
over the long term and results in uncertainty over the future value of the investments. Inflation
reduces the purchasing power of money. In an inflationary environment, fixed rate securities are
exposed to higher inflation risks than inflation-linked securities.

INF
To achieve medium to long term capital appreciation by seeking to match the performance of the KLCI.
Investment strategy
The strategy will be to invest up to a maximum of 99.5% of the Fund’s NAV in equities which make up
the components of the KLCI.
Investment policy
INF is an index fund. Its objective is to track the movement of the KLCI. The Fund will maintain at least
90% exposure in equities listed on the KLCI.
The Fund invests principally in equities. Futures contracts may also be used to allow the Fund to better
track the KLCI’s movements. The primary risks associated with equity and futures investments are stock
market and stock specific risks. However, due to the nature of the Fund, the holdings are well-diversified.
Therefore, the primary risk associated with the holdings of the Fund is stock market specific. The nature
of such risks is explained on page 26.
Up to 99.5% of the Fund will be invested in securities and other permissible investments and at least
0.5% in Liquid Assets. The asset allocation will be reviewed periodically depending on the country’s
economic and stock market outlook. In a rising market, the 99.5% limit may be breached. However the
Manager will seek to adjust this within a time frame approved by the Trustee.
Performance Benchmark / Underlying Index
KLCI
Due to the nature of the Fund, the Investment Manager manages the diversifiable risk of the portfolio by
holding a well-diversified portfolio. Futures contracts and other securities related to the KLCI
components may also be used to allow the portfolio to track the KLCI. However, these instruments are
not used to significantly modify the risk characteristics of the Fund relative to the benchmark index, as
doing so would be against the Fund’s investment objective of tracking the KLCI
The Fund’s principle strategy in attempting to respond to adverse market conditions, economic,
Given that the Fund aims to match the performance of the KLCI, the Investment Manager’s primary
concern is to track the benchmark index. Therefore, the Investment Manager only makes adjustments to
the Fund’s holdings when changes to index weightings occur. This means that the Investment Manager
will not significantly alter the Fund’s holdings in response to adverse market conditions, economic,
political, or any other conditions, unless these events alter the index weightings of the KLCI component
stocks. The acceptable tracking error for the fund in attempting to track the index is at 5%.

Variations/Exemptions from Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds
*The Fund was granted certain variations/exemptions from Clauses 10.8.1 and 10.8.3 of the previous
Guidelines issued in 1997. However, these exemptions are no longer applicable because under Clauses
2.0(1) and 2.0(3) of Schedule C of the new Guidelines issued on 1 April 2003 and effective 1 May 2003,
the value of the Fund’s holdings of the share capital of any single issuer in the KLCI and the value of the
Fund’s holdings of securities of and the securities relating to any group of companies is permitted to
follow the weightings of the component stocks of the Index/or the representative sample used.
**Clause 2.0(2) of Schedule C of the new Guidelines (previously Clause 10.8.2 of the previous
Guidelines issued in 1997) provides that the value of the Fund's holding of the securities of, and the
securities relating to, any single issuer must not exceed 15% of the Fund's NAV.
INF was granted a variation from Clause 10.8.2 of the previous Guidelines (now Clause 2.0(2) of
Schedule C of the new Guidelines) to permit it to invest according to the weightings of the component
stocks in the KLCI. In addition, up to 5% above the weightings is permitted for investments in securities
related to the component stocks of the KLCI in order to meet liquidity requirements.
The underlying index in which the Fund intends to track or replicate and the description of the
market or sector the index represents
The Fund is designed to track the performance of the KLCI. The sectors that represent the KLCI are
Consumer Products, Industrial Products, Construction, Trading/Services, Infrastructure Project
Company, Finance, Plantations, Technology and Properties.
51
The Fund’s investment strategy whether to invest in all (full replication) or a representative sample
and how the sample is constituted
The Fund's investment strategy is to fully replicate the performance of the underlying benchmark by
investing in a well diversified portfolio of KLCI component stocks.
Circumstances that may lead to tracking error and strategies employed in minimising such error
Tracking error might occur as a result of large amounts of redemption. This will force the Investment
Manager to sell down stocks and reduce equity exposure to raise cash for the redemption. The higher
portion cash in the portfolio will make index tracking become less effective and will result in significant
disparity between the movement of the portfolio and the KLCI.
Policy on re-balancing the investment portfolio
The Investment Manager monitors the investment portfolio on a daily basis but the frequency of the
rebalancing depends on market volatility. Rebalancing is done once a week at the very least.

The index weightings may change as and when prices fluctuate, therefore there may be periods in
between portfolio adjustments when the actual holdings may exceed the weightings in the KLCI. This is
why the table above depicts the difference.
Decision to cap the Fund at 500 million units
The Manager has decided to cap the INF at an approved fund size of 500 million units meaning that they
would not seek an increase in approved fund size beyond 500 million units and this Fund will not be
offered to new investors after 31 December 2003. The units of the Fund will only be offered to existing
regular investors who would include those who had opted for a regular investment plan through standing
instructions and autodebit arrangements.
Investors should be aware that there is no guarantee or assurance that the INF will be able
to, at any time, exactly or identically replicate the performance of the KLCI.

To match as closely as possible the performance of the KLCI.
Investment strategy
The strategy will be to invest in equity securities of companies that compose the KLCI and other
instruments that are based on the value of the index. At least 90% of the Fund will be invested in equities
listed on the KLCI.
Investment policy
CIF is an index fund. Its objective is to track the movement of the KLCI. The Fund will maintain at least
90% exposure in equities listed on the KLCI.
The Fund invests principally in equities. Futures contracts may also be used to allow the Fund to better
track the KLCI’s movements. The primary risks associated with equity and futures investments are stock
market and stock specific risks. However, due to the nature of the Fund, the holdings are well-diversified.
Therefore, the primary risk associated with the holdings of the Fund is stock market specific. The nature
of such risks is explained on page 26.
Performance Benchmark / Underlying Index
KLCI
Due to the nature of the Fund, the Investment Manager manages the diversifiable risk of the portfolio by
holding a well-diversified portfolio. Futures contracts and other securities related to the KLCI
components may also be used to allow the portfolio to track the KLCI. However, these instruments are
not used to significantly modify the risk characteristics of the Fund relative to the benchmark index, as
doing so would be against the Fund’s investment objective of tracking the KLCI.
political, or any other conditions.
Given that the Fund aims to match the performance of the KLCI, the Investment Manager’s primary
concern is to track the benchmark index. Therefore, the Investment Manager only makes adjustments to
the Fund’s holdings when changes to index weightings occur. This means that the Investment Manager
will not significantly alter the Fund’s holdings in response to adverse market conditions, economic,
political, or any other conditions, unless these events alter the index weightings of the KLCI components
stocks. The acceptable tracking error for the fund in attempting to track the index is at 5%.

Variations/Exemptions from Guidelines on Units Trust Funds
*The Fund was granted certain variations/exemptions from Clauses 10.8.1 and 10.8.3 of the previous
Guidelines issued in 1997. However, these exemptions are no longer applicable because under Clauses
2.0(1) and 2.0(3) of Schedule C of the new Guidelines issued on 1 April 2003 and effective 1 May 2003,
the value of the Fund’s holdings of the share capital of any single issuer in the KLCI and the value of the
Fund’s holdings of securities of and the securities relating to any group of companies is permitted to
follow the weightings of the component stocks of the Index/or the representative sample used.
The underlying index in which the fund intends to track or replicate and the description of the
market or sector the index represents
The Fund is designed to track the performance of the KLCI. The sectors that represent the KLCI are
Consumer Products, Industrial Products, Construction, Trading/Services, Infrastructure Project
Company, Finance, Plantations, Technology and Properties.
The Fund’s investment strategy whether to invest in all (full replication) or a representative sample
and how the sample is constituted
The Fund’s investment strategy is not to invest in all stocks that make up the KLCI. Instead, the Fund
invests in a representative sample of approximately 50 stocks.
Circumstances that may lead to tracking error and strategies employed in minimising such error
Tracking error might occur as a result of large amounts of redemption. This will force the Investment
Manager to sell down stocks and reduce equity exposure to raise cash for the redemption. The higher
portion cash in the portfolio will make index tracking become less effective and will result in significant
disparity between the movement of the portfolio and the KLCI.
Policy on re-balancing the investment portfolio
The Investment Manager monitors the investment portfolio on a daily basis but the frequency of the
rebalancing depends on market volatility. Rebalancing is done once a week at the very least.

CRS
To provide investors with long-term capital growth by investing principally in equities. The Fund also
seeks to outperform the KLCI benchmark.
Investment strategy
The majority of the Fund’s assets with a minimum of 70% will be invested in equities. Liquid Assets
may be strategically used if the Investment Manager feels that the market downside risk is high in the
short term.
Investment policy
The CRS will have a minimum equity exposure of 70% at all times. It aims to achieve long-term capital
growth by investing in equities. The Investment Manager will rebalance the portfolio and invest in
stocks which will outperform the market at different cycles of the market.
By having a higher equity exposure, the Fund is able to strongly position itself to capitalize on any
upward market movements. By being overweight in equities, any short term positive market movements
will enable the Fund to profit. However, being heavily exposed to the equities market at all times, the
fund will be more susceptible to market risks as compared to a fund that does not have such a large
equity exposure. This Fund will benefit medium to long term investors who have higher return
expectations and are able to cope with larger market fluctuations. The Fund would principally invest in
equities and to a lesser extent, in fixed income securities. The primary risk associated with equity
investments is market and stock specific risks while investment in fixed income securities would
introduce credit risk and interest rate risk. The nature of such risks is explained on page 26.
The Investment Manager will switch between sectors and stocks at different market cycles in order to
outperform the KLCI. The Fund will have higher exposure to growth stocks at the bottom of the market
cycles and increase exposure in defensive stocks at the higher end of the market cycles. The asset
allocation will be reviewed periodically depending on the country’s economic and stock market outlook.
KLCI
Stock mix – Due to the investment policy of the Fund (minimum equity exposure of 70%), diversification
is important to ensure that the Fund is able to capture the upside in a rising market and will be protected
in a declining market.
Stock selection – The CRS is a fundamentally driven fund. It invests in a diversified portfolio of value,
index, growth and defensive stocks.
Futures – The Investment Manager may use futures to hedge against market risk as and when deemed
appropriate.
Cash and Marketable Securities – The Fund may invest up to 30% in cash and marketable securities in
the event the market outlook is not favourable.
77
As this is an equity fund which has a minimum of 70 % equity exposure, the Investment Manager is
unable to take equity exposure down substantially if it feels that the market is close to its peak. Hence,
the Investment Manager will take a defensive stance and invest in stocks that have low correlation to
market movements.
Specific and peculiar risks when investing in the fund.
The Fund will be exposed to risks associated with stock market investments which include market risk

EIF
To provide investors with an opportunity to gain consistent and stable income by investing in a
diversified portfolio of dividend yielding equities and fixed income securities. The Fund may also
provide moderate capital growth potential over the medium to long term period.
Investment strategy
To invest in a diversified portfolio of mainly dividend yielding equities and fixed income securities.
Investment policy
The EIF aims to provide a stable income stream in the form of distribution to investors by investing in a
diversified portfolio of high dividend yielding stocks and/ or fixed income securities.
The EIF is low risk in nature because it will invest in a diversified portfolio of above-average incomeproducing equity securities and / or fixed income securities (where volatility is low). However, in
general, risks associated with equity market investments include market risk, stock specific risk and
liquidity risk. Meanwhile, risks associated with fixed income securities include interest rate risk, market
risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The nature of such risks is explained on page 26.
The EIF may invest up to 98% of its NAV in a diversified portfolio of high dividend yielding equities
and/or fixed income securities, leaving the remaining 2% in Liquid Assets to meet the minimum liquid
asset requirement at all times. To reflect the prevailing macro outlook and minimize market risk, the
Investment Manager will review the asset allocation of the portfolio periodically, and make switches (i.e.
underweight/overweight equities and/or fixed income securities) when necessary.
KLCI
Asset mix - The EIF may invest up to 98% of its NAV in a diversified portfolio of high dividend yielding
equities and/or fixed income securities, depending on the prevailing macro outlook. There is no internal
limit on the minimum holding of equities. However, there is no constraint as to the type of sectors the
Fund may invest in as different economic cycles may favour different sectors.
Stock selection – The EIF relies on fundamental analysis of each equity security and its potential for
success in the light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic & market
conditions. Factors considered include growth potential, earnings estimates and management. The
Investment Manager will invest in equity securities that have a medium-term (2 to 5 years) dividend
record or a yearly distribution policy. The Investment Manager will also actively search for under-valued
high dividend yielding equities that may also offer promising long-term (more than 5 years) capital
appreciation.
Futures - The EIF may use futures to hedge against market risk as and when deemed appropriate.
80
The EIF is defensive and low risk in nature as it is designed to cater for the needs of risk-averse investors.
This Fund will serve well in bear market conditions. However, in bull markets, the Fund will underperform the market as the Investment Manager will not compromise to take on more risk to divert into
highly volatile aggressive stocks.
The Fund will be exposed to risks associated with stock market investments which include market risk
and stock specific risk. Please refer to page 26 for more details.

Overall Investment Strategy Adopted by SBBAM
In order to achieve each of the Fund’s objectives, the Investment Manager’s investment philosophy is
based on both a top-down and bottom-up approach. This strategy is reviewed periodically to reflect the
ever-changing political and economic environment. For instance, in a bullish market, the Investment
Manager may invest more in equities and in a bearish market, the investment in equity portfolio may be
substantially reduced to reflect market conditions.
For the equity investments, a combination of Fundamental and Technical Analysis are used to select the
right investment. Before deciding on any investment, the Investment Manager will apply a fundamental
analysis and appraise the value of investments based on the following:a) Sector Sentiment/Sector Growth
b) Price-Earning Multiples of the company/issuer
c) Quality of Earnings
d) Earnings Track Record
e) Cashflow
f) Gearing
g) Net Tangible Asset of the company/issuer
h) Quality of Management
i) Dividend Yield
j) Liquidity of shares/paid up capital of the company/issuer
Having taken the above into consideration, a technical analysis is then used to assist in the timing of
entry of the chosen investment.
For investments in fixed income securities, investment in both long-dated and short-dated securities are
permitted. The preferred duration is very much dependant on interest rates trends. In a situation where
interest rates are rising, shorter-term securities will attract greater investments whereas when interest
rates are falling, longer-term securities will be preferred. As such, interest rate trends will be monitored
very closely. Factors which will affect interest rates movements, such as economic growth, the current
account situation and monetary policy will also be monitored closely.
Having considered the above, the Investment Manager will then take into account the following points
before deciding on any fixed income investments:a) The availability and liquidity of that particular investment
b) Yield to maturity of such investment
c) Maturity spread between the different types of securities
d) The coupon rates of the securities.

relevant Fund. The Investment Manager generally does not receive any soft commission. However, the
Investment Manager may from time to time receive and retain soft commission in the form of free data

NET ASSET VALUE
What is the Net Asset Value of a Fund?
It is determined by deducting the value of a Fund’s liabilities from the value of that Fund’s assets at the
valuation point.
How is the Net Asset Value calculated?

SALE & REDEMPTION OF UNITS
What is the Selling Price per Unit?
The Selling Price of each Unit shall be the Net Asset Value per unit of each Fund as at the next valuation
point after the Manager received (or is taken to have received) the application for units plus a sales
charge of 6.5% of the NAV per unit for all Funds (with the exception of 6% for CIF and 2% for BOF).
As the basis of calculation is forward pricing, the Selling Price on any Business Day will be the
published Selling Price on the following day.
Assuming that the NAV of the Fund at the end of the Business Day on 15 October 2003 for HGF was
RM 649,794,772, units in issue on 15 October 2003 was 746,929,000 units and the Sales Charge is 6.5%
of the NAV per Unit, the Selling Price per Unit published on 16 October 2003 is as illustrated below:

What about the Redemption Price per Unit?
The Redemption Price per unit of a Fund is the NAV per Unit of the Fund and there is no redemption
charge.
As the basis of calculation is forward pricing, the Redemption Price per unit on any Business Day on
which the request to redeem is received by the Manager will be the published Redemption Price on the
following day.
As illustrated below:
Assuming that the Redemption Price per unit for HGF published on 16 October was RM0.8700 and the
request to redeem received by the Manager was in respect of 1,000 units. The Redemption Price per unit
for the Fund is the NAV per Unit of the Fund. There will be no redemption charge imposed on any
request to redeem the units.

TRANSACTION DETAILS
What is the Cooling-off Period?
Subject to the exclusions below, Unitholders have the right to exercise a withdrawal of their investment
in a Fund within six (6) Business Days commencing from the date the application form is received by the
Manager in order to obtain a refund of their investment in the fund.
As a matter of policy, any complete or full redemption exercised by a first time investor to any of the
Funds within six (6) business days from receipt of the application form by the Manager operates as an
exercise of the cooling off right. "First time investor" means an investor who is investing with the
Manager for the first time and if the investor is an existing Unitholder in any of the Funds, he will not be
entitled to the cooling off right. Investors applying for Units in any of the Funds as jointholders will not
be entitled to any cooling off rights if either jointholder is an existing Unitholder (whether under an
individual or jointholding account) with the Manager.
The refund for every unit held by the investor pursuant to the exercise of the cooling off right shall be the
sum of the NAV per Unit on the day the units were first purchased and the sales charge per unit
originally imposed on the day the units were purchased. The money must be refunded to the investor
within 10 days of receipt of the notice of cooling off by the Manager.
The cooling off right is only accorded to a first time investor (as described above) other than those listed
below:
• A corporation or institution;
• A staff of the Manager; and
• Persons registered to deal in unit trusts of the Manager.
Although the cooling-off right is applicable to all investors (except those mentioned above), investors
who invest via the KWSP Members’ Investment Scheme would, however, be subject to KWSP’s terms
and conditions.
Where units can be purchased or redeemed
Units can be bought and sold on any business day at any of the Manager’s offices, SBB branches or from
any IUTA. You are required to complete and return the relevant forms available at any of the Manager’s
offices, SBB branches or from any IUTAs listed on page 205.
Is there a minimum initial investment?
Yes, the minimum initial investment is RM1,000 (Ringgit Malaysia One Thousand) only for all Funds
except DGF, DALI and BOF in which the minimum initial investments are RM100 (Ringgit Malaysia
One Hundred), RM500 (Ringgit Malaysia Five Hundred) and RM2,000 (Ringgit Malaysia Two
Thousand) respectively.
Illustration:
Assuming you make an application to invest RM1,000 and the Selling Price per unit quoted on
the following day after your application is received by the Manager is RM0.5753

any one time with the minimum amount as mentioned below or you can opt to participate in the Regular

RIP is a facility offered by the Manager to all unitholders of all Funds. For your convenience, you can
invest regularly using the Autodebit or Standing Instruction arrangements we have made for you with
selected banks throughout Malaysia.
*The SF is tailored for you to participate in the RIP by investing a fixed monthly amount of at least
RM100 for a period of five (5) years. For the first five (5) years after your initial investment, the Manager
shall not be bound to comply with your request to repurchase part of your units if the effect thereof would
result in you holding less than your initial investment. Please note that this is only applicable to SF with
RIP. For more details, please refer to the product brochures available.
Term of the Funds
The duration of the Funds is indefinite. However, the Deed provides for a number of circumstances under
which the Trustee may terminate the Funds. Section 110 of the SCA also provides the circumstances and
conditions under which the Funds may be wound up.
Recognition as Unitholder
You will be recognised as a Unitholder upon being registered and registration will take effect only after
acceptance of the application form and monies by the Manager.
Can I use my KWSP funds to invest with SBB Mutual?
Yes. (Such investment is referred to below as “KWSP investment”.)
105
How can I purchase the Funds? (This would apply to all categories including KWSP investment)
You may purchase units at any time by simply completing the application form enclosed with this Master
Prospectus and returning it to any of the Manager’s offices or SBB’s branches or any IUTA on any
business day. You are also required to attach a copy of your Identity Card or Passport (for NonMalaysian) to your application form.
On receiving your request, the Manager will purchase the units at the Selling Price which is quoted in the
major daily newspapers on the following day.
Illustration:
Assuming that you have requested the Manager to invest RM1,000. The Selling Price
per Unit quoted on the following business day upon receipt of your request was
RM0.90.
Unit Invested
= Investment Amount
= RM1,000
RM0.90
= 1,111.11 units
How can I redeem my investment? (This would apply to all categories including KWSP
investment)
You may redeem your units at any time by simply completing the redemption form and returning it to
any of the Manager’s offices, SBB’s branches or any IUTA on any business day. You are also required to
attach a copy of your Identity Card or Passport (for Non-Malaysian) to your redemption form. On
receiving your request, the Manager will redeem the units at the Redemption Price which is quoted in the
major daily newspapers on the following day.
Illustration:
Assuming that you have requested the Manager to redeem One Thousand Units (1,000)
of your investment. The Redemption Price per Unit quoted on the following day upon
receipt of your request was RM0.90.
Redemption Proceeds = Number of Units Redeemed x Redemption Price per Unit
= 1,000 units x RM0.90
= RM900
The Manager shall remit the redemption proceeds to you or to KWSP (for KWSP investment) within ten
(10) days from the date the redemption request is received by the Manager.
106
Suspension of Sale and/or Redemption
The Trustee has the right to suspend the redemption of units by the Manager in a situation where it
considers it not in the interests of Unitholders for investments of the Fund to be sold or where
investments cannot be liquidated at an appropriate price or terms. In such situations, the Trustee should
suspend the sale and/or redemption of units and call for a Unitholders’ meeting to decide on the next
course of action.
The suspension of the sale and/or redemption of units in the Fund should only be carried out where the
interests of the Unitholders or the potential investors would be materially affected if the sale and/or
redemption of units were not suspended. Other than the situation described above, the Trustee may
suspend the sale and/or redemption of units in the Fund in exceptional circumstances, where there is
good and sufficient reason to do so having regard to the interests of the Unitholders or potential investors.
In such case, the period of the suspension must not exceed 21 days unless the consent of the Unitholders
is obtained.
How much can I redeem and is there a minimum holding requirement?
You may redeem any amount of units. However, the Manager shall not be bound to comply with any
request to partially redeem units if the effect thereof would be that you hold less than the minimum
holding requirement applicable for the relevant fund. (Please refer to page 18 for the details on a
minimum holding requirements)
Is there a restriction on the frequency for redemption?
No.
107
What is Fund Switching?
Switching is a facility offered by the Manager to Unitholders. This facility enables you to convert units of
one unit trust fund to units of another unit trust fund managed by the Manager.
Every Unitholder is entitled to two (2) free switches out of a Fund in a calendar year, and subsequent
switches will incur a charge of RM100 for every switch.
The Manager allows switching from Syariah-based Funds into conventional Funds, however, Muslim
Unitholders are discouraged to switch from Syariah-based funds to conventional funds.
Switching Between Equity Funds
If you switch from a fund (the “existing fund”) to another fund (the “intended fund”), units will be
redeemed at the NAV per Unit of the existing fund and the proceeds will be used to acquire units of the
intended fund at the NAV per Unit of the intended fund. Any sales charge of the intended fund would be
waived.

Note: The general position above does not apply to switching from the BOF, which is subject to the
special rules below.
Switching from BOF
As the BOF had a no load policy (ie. no sales charge) before 24 April 2003, there are 2 scenarios
governing switching from BOF depending on whether the unitholder who wishes to switch out of the
units in BOF invested in the BOF units when BOF had a no load policy (before 24 April 2003) or when
BOF had imposed a sales charge (on or after 24 April 2003). Further, unitholders who invested in BOF
when there was a no load policy will be subject to different rules on switching out of BOF depending on
whether the investment in BOF was a switch from another fund.

2% from the Sales Charge of the intended fund).

What is a transfer?
A transfer is a facility whereby you are entitled to convey or transmit (either fully or partially) the units
registered in your name to another person by completing a transfer form which may be obtained from the
Manager. For each transfer, a fee of RM3.00 is chargeable by the Manager. However, this has been
waived for the Funds.
For any partial transfer out of the Funds, you are also required to maintain the relevant minimum holding
requirement in respect of the relevant Fund in order to maintain your account with the Manager.
Does the Manager allow Regular Withdrawals?
Yes.

A Unitholder may not:

What are my Liabilities as a Unitholder?
Except to the extent as provided in the Deed in respect of fees, charges and expenses out of the amount
invested in the Fund, after full payment of the Selling Price of the units held by him/her:

AND UNITHOLDERS
The taxation of income for both the Funds and the Unitholders are subject to the provisions of the
Malaysian Income Tax Act 1967 (“the Act”). The applicable provisions are contained in
Section 61 of the Act, which deals specifically with the taxation of Trust bodies in Malaysia.
TAXATION OF THE FUNDS
The Funds will be regarded as resident for Malaysian tax purposes since the Trustees of the Funds are
resident in Malaysia.
The income of the Funds consisting of dividends, interest or profit1 (other than interest and profit1 which
are exempt from tax) and other investment income derived from or accruing in Malaysia, after deducting
tax allowable expenses, is liable to Malaysian income tax at the rate of 28 per cent.
Gains on disposal of investments by the Funds will not be subject to income tax.
Tax Credit
Dividends received by the Funds would have suffered tax deduction at source at 28 per cent, unless
specific exemptions apply e.g. pioneer dividends. No additional tax will be payable by the Funds on the
dividends. However, such tax or part thereof will be refundable to the Funds if the total tax so deducted at
source exceeds the tax liability of the Funds.
Exempt Income
Income of the Funds in respect of dividends received from overseas investment is exempt from
Malaysian tax by virtue of Income Tax (Exemption)(No. 48) Order 1997 and distributions from such
income will be tax exempt in the hands of the Unitholders.
The Funds may receive Malaysian dividends which are tax exempt. The exempt dividends may be
received from investments in companies which had previously enjoyed or are currently enjoying the
various tax incentives provided under the law. The Funds will not be taxable on such exempt income.
Interest income or profit1 derived from the following investments are exempt from tax:
(a)
Securities or bonds issued or guaranteed by the Government;
(b)
Debentures, other than convertible loan stock approved by the Securities Commission;
(c)
Bon Simpanan Malaysia issued by Bank Negara Malaysia;
(d)

Exchange of Securities Dealing and Automated Quotation Berhad; and

distribution to the Unitholders.

AND UNITHOLDERS
TAXATION OF UNITHOLDERS
Unitholders will be taxed on an amount equivalent to their share of the total taxable income of the Funds
to the extent of the distributions received from the Funds. The income distribution from the Funds will
carry a tax credit in respect of the tax paid by the Funds. Unitholders will be entitled to utilise the tax
credit against the tax payable on the income distribution received by them. No additional withholding tax
will be imposed on the income distribution from the Funds.
Corporate Unitholders, resident and non-resident, will generally be liable to income tax at 28 per cent on
distribution of income received from the Funds. The tax credits attributable to the distribution of income
can be utilised against the tax liabilities of these Unitholders.
Individuals and other non-corporate Unitholders who are tax resident in Malaysia will be subject to
income tax at graduated rates ranging from 1 percent to 28 per cent. Individuals and other non-corporate
Unitholders who are not resident in Malaysia will be subject to income tax at 28 per cent. The tax credits
attributable to the distribution of income will be utilised against the tax liabilities of these Unitholders.
Non-resident Unitholders may also be subject to tax in their respective jurisdictions and depending on the
provisions of the relevant tax legislation and any double tax treaty with Malaysia, the Malaysian tax
suffered may be creditable in the foreign tax jurisdictions.
The distribution of exempt income and gains arising from the disposal of investments by the Funds will
be exempted from tax in the hands of the Unitholders.
Any gains realised by Unitholders (other than dealers in securities, insurance companies or financial
institutions) on the sale or redemption of the units are treated as capital gains and will not be subject to
income tax.
Unitholders electing to receive their income distribution by way of investment in the form of new units
will be regarded as having purchased the new units out of their income distribution after tax.
Unit splits distributed by the Funds are not taxable in the hands of Unitholders.
Zakat will only be deducted from income distributions made by SBB Dana Al-Ihsan, SBB Dana AlMizan, SBB Dana Al-Ihsan 2, SBB Dana Al-Azam and SBB Dana Al-Hikmah conducted in accordance
with the Principles of Syariah to Unitholders who are Muslim individuals. The zakat deducted is allowed
as a credit against the income tax payable by the Muslim individuals.
We hereby confirm that the statements made in this report correctly reflect our understanding of the tax
position under current Malaysian tax legislation. We recommend that investors obtain independent advice
on the tax issues associated with their investments in the Funds.
Yours faithfully,

This letter has been prepared for the information of prospective investors in each Fund as
mentioned above. A summary of this letter as set out in the Appendix attached is included in the
Master Prospectus in connection with the offer of units of interest in the said Fund.
2.
TAXATION OF THE FUND
The Fund will be regarded as a trust resident for Malaysian tax purposes as the Trustees of the
Fund are resident in Malaysia.
The income of the Fund in respect of dividends, interest income and other investment income
derived from or accruing in Malaysia is liable to Malaysian income tax at the rate of 28%. The
Fund will receive dividends from Malaysian companies which would have suffered tax deducted
at source at 28% so that no additional tax will be payable by the Fund on the dividends received.
Part of the tax deducted at 28% will be refundable to the Fund by virtue of deduction of
allowable expenses.
Deductions in respect of manager’s remuneration, maintenance of register of Unitholders, share
registration expenses, secretarial, audit and accounting fees, telephone charges, printing and
stationery costs and postage are allowed based on a formula subject to a minimum of 10% and a
maximum of 25% of the expenses.
Any income derived by the Fund from sources outside Malaysia and received in Malaysia is
exempt from income tax pursuant to the Income Tax (Exemption)(No. 48) Order, 1997 with
effect from year of assessment 1998. The aforesaid tax exempt income that is distributed by the
Fund will be exempt from tax in the hands of the Unitholders. Corporate Unitholders receiving
the exempt dividend may in turn declare the tax exempt dividends to their shareholders as a
second tier exempt dividend.
Gains from realisation of investment and exempt income
Profit on disposal of investments by the Fund will not be subject to income tax. Tax exempt
dividends received from investment in Malaysian companies which had previously enjoyed or
are currently enjoying tax incentives are also not subject to income tax. The Fund is, however,
liable to real property gains tax under the Real Property Gains Tax Act, 1976 in respect of gains
from the sale of chargeable assets (including landed properties and shares in real property
companies) as defined in the Real Property Gains Tax Act, 1976.

3.
TAXATION OF UNITHOLDERS

income of the Fund, to the extent such income is distributed to them. Taxable
distributions carry a tax credit in respect of the tax chargeable on the Fund. The tax credit
which is attributable to the income distributed to the Unitholders will be available for set
off against tax payable by the Unitholders. The Unitholders will be subject to tax on an
amount equal to the net distribution proceeds plus underlying tax paid by the Fund.
Corporate Unitholders, resident or non-resident, will be liable to income tax at 28% on
distributions of income from the Fund. The tax credit attaching to distributions of income
may be utilised against the tax liabilities of these Unitholders.
Individuals and other non-corporate Unitholders who are Malaysian tax residents will be
taxed at progressive rates ranging from 0% to 28%. Individuals who are non-residents in
Malaysia will be subject to income tax at 28%.

form of the purchase of new Units will be regarded as having purchased the new Units
out of their income distribution after tax.

As at the date of this report, no audited financial statements for the funds No.13 to No.17 were available
for inclusion in this report.
18 Summary of significant accounting policies of the funds
The following accounting policies have been used in dealing with items which are considered material in
relation to the financial statements of the Funds:
A
Accounting Convention
The financial statements of the Funds are prepared under the historical cost convention in
accordance with applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia modified by the
Securities Commission’s Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds.
B
Investments
Quoted investments in Malaysia are valued at the last done market price quoted on the Kuala
Lumpur Stock Exchange (“KLSE”) at the date of statement of assets and liabilities, in
accordance with the Deed. For DGF and ECO only, quoted investments outside Malaysia are
valued at the latest available market price quoted on the Stock Exchange which they are listed on.
The carrying value of the unquoted fixed income securities are carried at cost and adjusted for
amortisation of any premium or accretion of discount over their par values at the time of
acquisition. The carrying value of the unquoted fixed income securities is revalued to reflect its
fair value (current value) using the net present value method.
Surplus or deficit on revaluation is transferred to the Investment fluctuation reserve and is not
distributable.
C
Income Recognition
Dividend income is recognised on the ex-dividend date.
Realised gain or loss on sale of quoted equities is arrived at after accounting for cost of
investments, determined on weighted average cost method.
Realised gain or loss on sale/redemption of unquoted fixed income securities is measured as the
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying value of the investment.
Interest income is recognised on the accrual basis. However, the DALI, MIZAN, DALI2,
AZAM and HIKMAH, income arising from deposits with financial institutions and unquoted
fixed income securities is recognised on the accrual basis.
Income arising from unquoted fixed income securities that are issued at a significant discount or
premium is accreted or amortised over the life of such securities.
166
18 Summary of significant accounting policies of the funds (continued)
D
Distribution Equalisation
Distribution equalisation is accounted for at the date of creation and cancellation of units. It
represents the average amount of distributable income included in the creation and cancellation
prices of units.
E
Currency Translation (DGF and ECO only)
Transactions in foreign currencies during the financial year are converted to Ringgit Malaysia at
rates of exchange ruling at transaction dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies at the date of the statement of assets and liabilities are translated into Ringgit Malaysia
at rates of exchange approximating to those ruling on that date.
F
Cash
For the purpose of cash flow statement, cash includes bank balances and demand deposits which
are readily convertible to cash with an insignificant risk of changes in value.
G
Fair value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments comprise financial assets and financial liabilities. Fair value is the amount
at which a financial asset could be exchanged or a financial liability settled, between
knowledgeable and willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. The information presented
herein represents the estimates of fair values as at the date of statement of assets and liabilities.
Where available, quoted and observable market prices are used as the measure of fair values.
Where such quoted and observable market prices are not available, fair values are estimated
based on a range of methodologies and assumptions regarding risk characteristics of various
financial instruments, net present value and other factors. Changes in the uncertainties and
assumptions could materially affect these estimates and the resulting fair value estimates.
In addition, fair value information for non-financial and financial instruments that are excluded
from the scope of Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (‘MASB’) 24 which requires the fair
value information to be disclosed are excluded.
A range of methodologies and assumptions had been used in deriving the fair values of the
Fund’s financial instruments at the date of statement of assets and liabilities. The total fair value
of each financial instrument is not materially different from the total carrying value.
The fair values are based on the following methodologies and assumptions:
(i) Cash, deposits and placements with financial institutions (including Syariah based)
For cash, deposits and placements with financial institutions, the carrying value is a
reasonable estimate of fair value.
167
G
Fair value of Financial Instruments (continued)
(ii)
Quoted securities
The estimated fair value is based on market price. However, if a valuation based on the
market price does not represent the fair value of the securities, for example during
abnormal market conditions or no market price is available, including in the event of a
suspension in the quotation of the securities for a period exceeding 14 days, or such
shorter period as agreed by the Trustee, then the securities are valued as determined in
good faith by the Manager, based on the methods or bases approved by the Trustee after
appropriate technical consultation.
(iii)
Unquoted fixed income securities
The estimated fair value is based on the net present value method by reference to market
indicative yields.
(iv)
Other short term financial instruments
Other short term financial instruments comprise dividend receivable, interest receivable,
income receivable, sundry receivables, payables and accruals for audit fees and tax
agent’s fees.
The carrying value of these assets and liabilities are assumed to approximate their fair
value due to short tenure of less than one year.
H
Summary of financial risk management objectives and policies
The Funds’ activities are exposed to a variety of financial risk as below :(i)
Market risk
Any purchase of securities will involve an element of risk. The value of
securities may fluctuate according to the activities of individual companies,
sector and overall political and economic conditions. Such fluctuation may cause
the Fund's net asset value (“NAV”) and prices of units to fall as well as rise, and
income produced by the Fund may also fluctuate.
The market risk is managed through portfolio diversification and asset allocation
whereby the equity exposure will be reduced in the event of anticipated market
weakness.
(ii)
Single issuer risk
Any major price fluctuation of a particular security invested by the Fund may
affect the Fund's NAV and thus the prices of units.
The single issuer risk is managed by adhering to the investment limits specified
in the SC Guidelines.
168
(iii)
Interest rate risk (DGF, ECO, SF, HGF, SEQUEL, CRS and EIF only)
Prices of bonds move in the opposite direction with interest rates. When the interest
rates rise, prices of bonds fall and vice versa.
The interest rate risk is managed by varying the duration of fixed income securities
selected which is dependent on the anticipation of the interest rates trends. As such, the
interest rates trends will be monitored closely.
(iii)
Interest rate risk (DALI, MIZAN, DALI2, AZAM and HIKMAH)
The risk refers to the effect of interest rate changes on the market value of a bond
portfolio. In the event of rising interest rates, prices of fixed income securities will
decrease and vice versa. Meanwhile, fixed income securities with longer maturity and
lower coupon rate are more sensitive to interest rate changes. This risk will be mitigated
via the management of the duration structure of the fixed income portfolio.
The interest rate risk is a general economic indicator that will have an impact to the
management of fund regardless of whether it is a Syariah based fund or otherwise. It
does not in any way suggest that this fund will invest in fixed income securities, which
are not approved by Syariah. All the investment carried out for the Fund are in
accordance with the requirement of Syariah.
(iv)
Credit/Default risk
Credit/Default risk is the risk that an issuer or counterparty will be unable or unwilling to
meet a commitment that it has entered to with the Fund.
The Fund’s credit risk concentration is spread between interest rate and equity securities.
At any time, less than 10% at the NAV of the Fund are with any single issuer or
counterparty. All transactions in quoted investments are settled/paid upon delivery using
approved brokers.
(v)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity is the ability to convert an investment portfolio to cash without suffering any
significant loss in value. The Fund’s quoted investment is considered to be readily
realisable as they are listed on the KLSE.
The Fund aims to reduce the liquidity risk by investing mainly in companies with good
liquidity and maintaining a prudent level of liquid assets.
(vi)
Currency fluctuation risk (DGF and ECO only)
A percentage of the value of the Fund invested in overseas are bound by currency
fluctuation risks. Fluctuation in foreign exchange rates will have impact on the income of
the fund. The currency fluctuation risk is managed by adhering to the prescribed
percentage of investment allowed in foreign securities.
169
H
Summary of financial risk management objectives and policies (continued)
(vii)
Foreign market risk (DGF and ECO only)
The primary macro level risks when investing in foreign markets are political, currency
(conversion, translation and exchange control), and potentially volatile fiscal and
monetary policy. Other area of macro risks that are significant when investing in
emerging markets are the frequency of related party activities, local customary practices,
lack of information technology, lack of market and regulatory infrastructure, and
transparency of accounting (including non-conformity to international accounting
standards) and management practices.
As for primary macro level, there are risks in market liquidity (especially for secondary
fixed income markets, the absence of market makers to support markets and counteract
extreme price movements, and illiquid small capitalisation equity issues), lack of
derivative market for hedging of portfolios, and availability of investment research
materials.
For the Fund, foreign market risk is managed through portfolio diversification among
markets and investing in emerging companies listed on established exchanges, which are
well researched and have ready liquidity.
19 No audited financial statements of DGF, ECO, SF, HGF, DALI, MIZAN and SEQUEL have been made
up in respect of any period subsequent to 30 April 2003, 30 June 2003, 31 August 2003, 31 October
2003, 31 May 2003, 30 September 2003 and 30 September 2003 respectively.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES OF THE FUNDS
The following accounting policies have been used in dealing with items which are considered
material in relation to the financial statements of the Funds:
(a) Basis of Accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Deed,
the Securities Commission’s Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds and the applicable approved
accounting standards in Malaysia.
(b) Investments
In accordance with the Deed, quoted investments in Malaysia are valued at the last done market
price quoted on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (“KLSE”) at the date of the statement of
assets and liabilities.
Investments in the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange Composite Index (“KLCI”) Futures are
recorded at cost at the initial margin paid and subsequently adjusted for any changes arising from
the marking to market value of the KLCI Futures, until their disposal and expiry.
The carrying values of the unquoted fixed income securities are carried at cost adjusted for
amortisation of any premium or accretion of discount over their par values at the time of
acquisition. The carrying values of the unquoted fixed income securities are revalued to reflect
the fair values (current value) using the net present value method.
Any surplus or deficit on revaluation is transferred to the Investment fluctuation reserve and is
not distributable.
(c) Income Recognition
Dividend income is recognised on the ex-dividend date.
Interest income is recognised on the accrual basis.
Realised gain or loss on sale of quoted equities and fixed income securities is arrived at after
accounting for cost of investments, determined on the weighted average cost method.
Realised gain or loss on sale/redemption of unquoted fixed income securities is measured as the
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying value of the investment.
(d) Distribution Equalisation
Distribution equalisation is accounted for at the date of creation and cancellation of units. It
represents the average amount of distributable income included in the creation and cancellation
prices of units.
(e) Taxation
Income tax is calculated on the taxable investment income after deduction for permitted expenses
as provided for under Section 63B of the Income Tax Act, 1967.
184
(f) Fair value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments comprise financial assets and financial liabilities. Fair value is the amount
at which a financial asset could be exchanged or a financial liability settled, between
knowledgeable and willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. The information presented
herein represents the estimates of fair values as at the date of statement of assets and liabilities.
Where available, quoted and observable market prices are used as the measure of fair values.
Where such quoted and observable market prices are not available, fair values are estimated
based on a range of methodologies and assumptions regarding risk characteristics of various
financial instruments, net present value and other factors. Changes in the uncertainties and
assumptions could materially affect these estimates and the resulting fair value estimates.
In addition, fair value information for non-financial and financial instruments that are outside the
scope of Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (‘MASB’) 24, Financial Instruments:
Disclosure and Presentation which requires the fair value information to be disclosed are
excluded.
A range of methodologies and assumptions had been used in deriving the fair values of the
Fund’s financial instruments at the date of statement of assets and liabilities. The total fair value
of each financial instrument is not materially different from the total carrying value.
The fair values are based on the following methodologies and assumptions:
(i)
Cash, deposits and placements with financial institutions
For cash, deposits and placements with financial institutions, the carrying value is a
reasonable estimate of fair value.
(ii)
Quoted securities
The estimated fair value is based on market price. However, if a valuation based on the
market price does not represent the fair value of the securities, for example during
abnormal market conditions or no market price is available, including in the event of a
suspension in the quotation of the securities for a period exceeding 14 days, or such
shorter period as agreed by the Trustee, then the securities are valued as determined in
good faith by the Manager, based on the methods or bases approved by the Trustee after
appropriate technical consultation.
(iii)
Unquoted fixed income securities
The estimated fair value is based on the net present value method by reference to market
indicative yields.
(iv)
Other short term financial instruments
Other short term financial instruments comprise dividend receivable, interest receivable,
income receivable, sundry receivables, payables and accruals for audit fees and tax
agent’s fees.
The carrying values of these assets and liabilities are assumed to approximate their fair
value due to short tenure of less than one year.
185
(g) Summary of financial risk management policies
The Funds’ activities are exposed to a variety of financial risk as below :(i)
Market risk
Any purchase of securities will involve an element of risk. The value of securities may
fluctuate according to the activities of individual companies, sector and overall political
and economic conditions. Such fluctuation may cause the Fund's net asset value
(“NAV”) and prices of units to fall as well as rise, and income produced by the Fund
may also fluctuate.
The market risk is managed through portfolio diversification and asset allocation
whereby the equity exposure will be reduced in the event of anticipated market
weakness.
(ii)
Single issuer risk
Any major price fluctuation of a particular security invested by the Fund may affect the
Fund's NAV and thus the prices of units.
The single issuer risk is managed by adhering to the investment limits specified in the SC
Guidelines.
(iii)
Interest rate risk
Prices of bonds move in the opposite direction with interest rates. When the interest
rates rise, prices of bonds fall and vice versa.
The interest rate risk is managed by varying the duration of fixed income securities
selected which is dependent on the anticipation of the interest rates trends. As such, the
interest rates trends will be monitored closely.
(iv)
Credit/Default risk
Credit/Default risk is the risk that an issuer or counterparty will be unable or unwilling to
meet a commitment that it has entered to with the Fund.
The Fund’s credit risk concentration is spread between interest rate and equity securities.
At any time, less than 10% at the NAV of the Fund are with any single issuer or
counterparty. All transactions in quoted investments are settled/paid upon delivery using
approved brokers.
(v)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity is the ability to convert an investment portfolio to cash without suffering any
significant loss in value. The Fund’s quoted investment is considered to be readily
realisable as they are listed on the KLSE.
The Fund aims to reduce the liquidity risk by investing mainly in companies with good
liquidity and maintaining a prudent level of liquid assets.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED BALANCE SHEET
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2003
(a) GENERAL INFORMATION
The principal activities of the Company consist of the establishment and management of unit
trust funds as mentioned in Item 2.
There have been no significant changes in the nature of the activities of the Company during the
financial period.
The total number of employees of the Company at the end of the financial period was 213 (2002:
185).
The registered office of the Company is located at 18th Floor, MUI Plaza, Jalan P. Ramlee, 50250
Kuala Lumpur.
The principal place of business of the Company is located at 50, 52 & 54, Jalan SS 21/39
Damansara Utama, 47400 Petaling Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan.
(b) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(i)
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared under the historical cost
convention.
(ii) Revenue
Sales value of units is recognised upon the approval of a unitholder’s application.
Value from the cancellation of the units is recognised upon the approval by the Trustee.
Management fee income is recognised on the accrual basis.
Interest income from short-term deposits is recognised on the accrual basis.
Dividend income from the funds is recognised on receipt basis.
(iii) Income Tax
In the prior financial period, the tax effects of transactions are recognised, using the
‘liability’ method, in the period such transactions enter into the determination of net income
regardless of when they are recognised for tax purposes. However, when timing differences
give rise to net deferred tax assets, the tax effects are recognised generally on actual
realisation.
During the current financial year, the Company changed its accounting policy for the
recognition of deferred tax asset and liability in accordance with MASB Standard No. 25,
Income Taxes which became effective for accounting periods commencing on or after July
1, 2002.
196
Upon adoption of MASB 25, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary
differences and deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences, unused
tax losses and unused tax credits are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future
taxable profit will be available to utilise the deferred tax assets. The effect of the accounting
change on the financial statements of the Company for the current financial year is however,
not material.
(iv) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses.
A gain or loss arising from the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between
the estimated net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, and is recognised
in the income statement.
The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each balance sheet
date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. An impairment loss is
recognised whenever the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment
exceeds its recoverable amount. The impairment loss is charged to the income statement
unless it reverses a previous revaluation in which case it is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight line method to their residual
values at rates based on the estimated useful lives of the various assets.
The annual depreciation rates are as follows:
Building
Office equipment
Furniture, fittings and office renovation
Motor vehicles
2%
10% - 20%
7.5%
20%
(v) Manager’s stocks
Manager’s stocks represent units held for re-sale in the funds managed by the Company.
Manager’s stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value on an aggregate
basis. Cost is determined on the weighted average method.
(vi) Receivables
Trade and other receivables are stated at nominal value as reduced by the appropriate
allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts. Allowance for doubtful debts is made
based on estimates of possible losses which may arise from non-collection of certain
receivable accounts.
(vii) Provisions
Provisions are made when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a
result of past events, when it is probable that an outflow of resources will be recognised to
settle the obligation, and when a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.
197
(c)
REVENUE
Revenue represents sales value of units, value from the cancellation of units and management fee
income in accordance with the provisions of the Master Deed for the unit trust funds managed by
the Company.

20. APPENDIX I - UNIT TRUST
DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
LOAN
FINANCING
RISK
Investing in a unit trust fund with borrowed money is more risky than investing with your own savings.
You should assess if loan financing is suitable for you in light of your objectives, attitudes to risk and
financial circumstances. You should be aware of the risks, which would include the following:I.
The higher the margin of financing (that is, the amount of money you borrow for every Ringgit of
your own money that you put in as deposit or down payment) the greater the potential for losses
as well as gains.
II. You should assess whether you have the ability to service the repayments on the proposed loan.
If your loan is a variable rate loan, and if interest rates rise, your total repayment amount will be
increased.
III. If unit prices fall beyond a certain level, you may be asked to provide additional acceptable
collateral or pay additional amounts on top of your normal installments. If you fail to comply
within the time prescribed, your units may be sold to settle your loan.
IV. Returns on unit trusts are not guaranteed and may not be earned evenly over time. This means
that there may be some years where returns are high and other years where losses are experienced
instead. Whether you eventually realise a gain or loss may be affected by the timing of the sale of
your units. The value of units may fall just when you want your money back even though the
investment may have done well in the past.
The brief statement cannot disclose all the risks and other aspects of loan financing. You should
therefore carefully study the terms and conditions before you decide to take the loan. If you are in
doubt in respect of any aspect of the Risk Disclosure Statement or the terms of the loan financing, you
should consult the institution offering the loan.

Corporate Debt Issue Rating
LONG-TERM RATINGS
MARC's Long-Term Ratings apply to debt issues with maturities of more than one year. These debt
ratings specifically assess the likelihood of timely repayment of principal and payment of interest over
the term to maturity of such debts.
Investment Grade
AAA
AA
A
BBB
Indicates that the ability to repay principal and pay interest on a timely basis is
extremely high.
Indicates a very strong ability to repay principal and pay interest on a timely basis,
with limited incremental risk compared to issues rated in the highest category.
Indicates the ability to repay principal and pay interest is strong. These issues could
be more vulnerable to adverse developments, both internal and external, than
obligations with higher ratings.
The lowest investment grade category; indicates an adequate capacity to repay
principal and pay interest. More vulnerable to adverse developments, both internal
and external, than obligations with higher ratings.
Non-Investment Grade
BB
B
C
D
While not investment grade, this rating suggests that likelihood of default is
considerably less than for lower-rated issues. However, there are significant
uncertainties that could affect the ability to adequately service debt obligations.
Indicates a higher degree of uncertainty, and therefore, greater likelihood of default.
Adverse developments could negatively affect repayment of principal and payment
of interest on a timely basis.
High likelihood of default, with little capacity to address further adverse changes in
financial circumstances.
Payment in default.
Note : Long-Term Ratings from AA to B may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-)
suffix to show relative standing within the major rating categories. Bank-guaranteed issues will carry
a suffix (bg), corporate-guaranteed a (cg) and all other supports an (s) when such guarantees or
supports give favourable effect to the assigned rating.

will be paid on a timely basis.
While the degree of safety regarding timely repayment of principal and payment of
interest is strong, the relative degree of safety is not as high as issues rated MARC1.

susceptible to adverse developments, both internal and external, the capacity to
service principal and interest on a timely basis is considered adequate.

in terms of capacity to service principal and interest.
Note : Short-Term Ratings will also carry a suffix (bg) for bank-guaranteed issues, (cg) for corporateguaranteed issues and (s) for all other supports when such guarantees or supports give favourable
effect to the assigned rating.
