RISK FACTORS
Prior to making an investment, prospective investors should consider the following risk factors carefully in addition to the other
information set forth elsewhere in this Prospectus. Although the Manager seeks to minimize risks by investing in a diversified
portfolio, investors should be warned that there are potential risks in investing in unit trusts. They include:
4.1 General Risks
Market risk - Market risk cannot be eliminated by diversification. It stems from the fact that there are other economy-wide perils,
which threaten all businesses. That is why investors are exposed to market uncertainties, that no matter how many stocks they
hold, fluctuation in the market caused by uncertainties in the economy, political and social environment will affect the market
price of unit trust funds.
Specific stock risk - The value of individual stock is mainly determined by its potential growth in earnings, sound management etc.
Failing to achieve the expected earnings would result in the stock price declining which in turn affects the performance of the
unit trust.
Fund management risk - The performance of any unit trust fund depends on the experience and expertise of the investment
managers. Poor management of the unit trust may jeopardize its performance.
Distribution risk - There is no guarantee on the investment returns or on the distribution to Unit Holders.
Inflation risk - A unit trust fund is subject to the risk of an investor’s investment not growing proportionately to the inflation rate
making the investor’s purchase power net of inflation fall over time.
Currency risk - It is also known as foreign exchange risk. It is a risk associated with investments that are denominated in foreign
currencies. When foreign currencies fluctuate in an unfavorable movements against Ringgit Malaysia, the investments will face
currency losses in addition to the capital gains/losses. This will lead to a lower NAV of the Fund.
Liquidity risk - It is a risk that the investment cannot be sold at or near its actual value without taking a significant discount.
Loan financing risk - Investors should assess the inherent risk of investing with borrowed money which include risk of increase in
interest rates, risk of inability to provide additional collateral should the unit prices fall.
Credit/default risk - Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a security will not be able to make timely payments of
interest on the coupon payment date or principal repayment on the maturity date. This may lead to a default in the payment of
principal and interest and ultimately a fall in the value of unit trust funds.
Interest rate risk - Bond prices move in the opposite direction with interest rates. Investors will suffer capital loss when interest rates
rise, resulting in a fall in bond prices.
Compliance risk - The risk that the Manager and others associated with the fund do not follow the rules set out in the fund’s
constitution, or the law that governs the fund, or will act fraudulently or dishonestly. It also includes the risk that the Manager
not complying with internal control procedures. The non-compliance may expose the fund to higher risks that may result a fall in
the value of the unit trust funds.
Country risk - The foreign investment of the Fund may be affected by risks specific to the country which it invests. Such risks
include changes in country’s economic fundamentals, social and political stability, currency movements and foreign investment
policies etc. These may have an adverse impact on the prices of securities of listed companies.
(43811-W)
15
4.2 Specific Risks of Investing in the Funds
Liquidity risk is managed by exercising prudence in the selection of investments.
Interest rate risk – Interest rate risk refers to the effect of interest rate movements on the investments held by the Fund. Interest rate
risk is managed by exercising prudence in the selection of investments, strict monitoring of those investments and ensuring
sufficient diversification of the Fund’s investments.
principal and interest and ultimately a fall in the value of unit trust funds. Managing credit risk involves diversification of the
Fund’s investments.
KAF Jade Fund
Market risk - Market risk cannot be eliminated by diversification. It stems from the fact that there are other economy-wide perils,
which threaten all businesses. That is why investors are exposed to market uncertainties, that no matter how many stocks they
hold, fluctuation in the market caused by uncertainties in the economy, political and social environment will affect the market
price of unit trust funds.
Specific stock risk - The value of individual stock is mainly determined by its potential growth in earnings, sound management etc.
Failing to achieve the expected earnings would result in the stock price declining which in turn affects the performance of the
unit trust. Specific stock risk is managed by exercising prudence in stock selection.
Currency risk - It is also known as foreign exchange risk. It is a risk associated with investments that are denominated in foreign
currencies. When the foreign currencies fluctuate with unfavourable movements against Ringgit Malaysia, the investments will
face currency losses in addition to the capital gains/losses. This will lead to a lower NAV of the Fund. Currency risk is managed
by exercising prudence in the selection of investments, strict monitoring of those investments and ensuring sufficient
diversification of the Fund’s investments.
Country risk - The foreign investment of the Fund may be affected by risks specific to the country which it invests. Such risks
include changes in country’s economic fundamentals, social and political stability, currency movements and foreign investment
policies etc. These may have an adverse impact on the prices of securities of listed companies. Country risk is managed by
exercising prudence in the selection of investments, strict monitoring of those investments and ensuring sufficient diversification
of the Fund’s investments.

Investment Policies and Strategies
5.1.1
Objective
The objective of the Fund is to generate regular income for investors in the form of distributions through investments
primarily in the short-term money market instruments.
This provides the Unit Holder with an investment vehicle that will provide the same levels of liquidity as a Savings
Account which is held by the Unit Holder.
Any change in objective will require Unit Holder Approval.
5.1.2
Asset Allocation
Up to 100% invested in short-term money market instruments. The remainder being in cash deposits.
This Fund will invest in a diversified portfolio of short-term money market instruments. Due to the nature of this Fund,
its policy would be to hold only liquid money market instruments.
This Fund will try to achieve its objective by investing primarily in high-quality short-term instruments with a
minimum short-term local credit rating of P1/MARC1 or long-term credit rating of AA3/AA-.
The value of the Fund’s holdings in permitted investments which have a remaining maturity period of not more than
365 days will be maintained at not less than 90% of the Fund’s NAV.
Up to 10% of the Fund will be invested in permitted investments that have a maturity period of more than 365 days
but less than 732 days.
5.1.3
Investment Strategy

Certificates of deposits, Bankers Acceptances, repurchase agreement (repos) and promissory notes as well as short-term
debentures maturing within 365 days with a minimum credit rating of P1/MARC1 or long term rating of AA3/AA-.
The strategy is to invest in liquid, low risk short-term investments with a high degree of capital preservation.
In the unlikely event of credit rating downgrading, the Manager reserves the right to deal with the security in the best
interest of investors, bearing in mind that the instrument would mature in a few months time.

• Interest rate risk
• Credit/default risk
Risk Management in response to adverse market conditions, economic or political conditions
Risk is minimised by way of the nature of the Fund's investments, the Fund will invest mainly in Malaysian
government, banked-backed and highly rated corporate securities. It is also restricted to investing a minimum of 90%
of its assets into instruments that have a maturity of less than 365 days, this ensures a high level of liquidity for the
Fund's holdings. In response to adverse conditions, market, economic, political or otherwise, the Manager may adjust
the investment exposure of the fund and shift investments into other permitted investments as approved by the SC in
order to maintain the Fund's objective of providing a regular income stream to investors.

5.2.1
Objective

schemes and equities. The Fund will be invested in a portfolio of China and North Asia investments consisting of
collective investment schemes, equities and/or Malaysian equities which will focus on companies listed on the Bursa
Malaysia doing significant business related to China and North Asia. Generally, companies and funds with reasonably
good growth prospects over the medium to long-term are sought. In identifying such companies, the Fund relies on
fundamental research where the financial health and industry growth prospects are considered. In the selection of
funds, management process, quality and past track records will be the primary considerations

Risk is minimized by way of the diversified nature of the Fund's investments, the Fund may invest in securities in
Malaysia, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. It is a balanced Fund that holds both equities and fixed income investments
which have low correlation. In response to adverse conditions, market, economic, political or otherwise, the Manager
may adjust the investment exposure of the fund and shift investments back to Malaysia if conditions are unfavorable
overseas and vice versa. The Manager may also decide to alter the investments of the Fund and reduce equity exposure
to protect the capital of the Fund and/or use Futures to hedge against adverse market conditions when deemed
appropriate. A defensive stance can also be taken by investing in permitted investments that have low correlation to
market movements.
5.2.5
Benchmark
The Fund aims to consistently provide returns that equal or better that of the Hang Seng Index.
5.2.6
Distribution Policy
Distribution of income will be incidental but the Fund will seek to distribute income once a year depending on the
performance of the Fund. Any income distribution will be paid within 21 days from the distribution declaration date.
THE KAF BOND FUND
5.3
5.3.1
Objective
The Fund aims to provide investors with a steady income stream by investing in medium to long term fixed income
instruments.
5.3.2
Asset Allocation
The Fund will invest primarily in medium to longer-term government bonds, private debt securities and other fixed
income securities. There will be no equity investment. In terms of asset allocation, the fund will be 80% invested in
the above mentioned fixed income securities at most times. The balance will be held in cash deposits and shorter-term
money market instruments. The Manager may take temporary defensive positions that may be inconsistent with the
Fund’s principal strategy in attempting to respond to adverse market conditions, economic, political or any other
conditions. Under such situations, a larger proportion of the Fund may be temporary invested in cash deposits and
shorter term money market instruments. This will be the case if the view taken is that interest rates are set to rise
sharply as instruments with shorter maturities suffer less capital loss that a longer term instrument in a rising interest
rate environment.
5.3.3
Investment Strategy
The Fund seeks to meet its objectives of producing a steady and recurring annual income stream with long-term capital
growth by investing in a portfolio of fixed income securities such as sovereign bonds and corporate debt with the
balance invested in money market instruments.
As much as possible, the Fund will seek to maximise the return potential of the Fund by investing in corporate bonds
that command higher yields than money market instruments. In doing so, the Fund will likely be exposed to the risks
of adverse interest rate movements and corporate credit deterioration. On the other hand, should interest rates turn
favourable i.e. fall, or corporate credit of the bond issues improve, then the Fund stands to benefit from the resultant
capital gains. Nevertheless, the credit risks assumed are limited to the extent that any bond invested must have credit
ratings of no lower than A3/A-. Notwithstanding, the exposures to the risk and return potentials need to be managed
actively to achieve the risk-reward trade-off that is reasonable to the fund.

• Liquidity risk
• Interest rate risk
• Credit/default risk
While the Fund would normally hold a high exposure to bonds, should the need arise, due to adverse conditions, be
they market, economic, political or otherwise; the Manager may pursue a strategy of lowering the Fund's bond
holdings and shifting the investments to other permitted instruments as deemed appropriate. Other defensive
strategies that the Manager may use to counter adverse conditions include:• To lengthen or shorten the average maturity or duration of the Fund's holdings, in anticipation of changing interest
rates;
• Selecting investments that carry ratings higher than the allowable minimum short-term credit rating of P2/MARC2
or long term rating of A3/A- to ensure the liquidity of the Fund's investments; and
• Invest more of the Fund's holdings in bank or government guaranteed investments or investments that are secured
against assets to mitigate default risks
5.3.5
Benchmark
The benchmark will be the RAM-Quant MGS Index (All Durations)
5.3.6
Distribution Policy
It is intended that the Fund will pay out distribution at least once a year. Any income distribution will be paid within
21 days from the distribution declaration date.
5.4
General Risk Management
Proper risk management is ensured throughout the entire investment management process. Some of the general
measures which the Manager will employ are:
• Adhering to the Fund's investment objectives, policies and strategies of the funds.
• Undertaking stringent evaluation of movements in market prices and regularly monitor, review and report to the
Investment Committee to ensure that all the Fund's investment objectives are met.
• Employing a stringent screening process by conducting fundamental analysis of economic, political and social

For the period since inception, the KAF Money Market Fund returned +4.96% percent against the benchmark
overnight rate which returned +8.61%. The weaker performance for the fund relatively over the long term is due to
higher management costs in the initial years of the fund. For the year to date, the KAF Money Market Fund returned
2.18% against the benchmark which returned 1.45%. This result has been obtain by the shift into higher yielding
commercial papers and short term bonds.

The Management Expense Ratio (MER) indicates the costs that a Fund incurred in the course of administration. It is
calculated by taking the fees and expenses paid out of a particular Fund as a percentage of the average NAV of that
Fund determined on a daily basis over the financial period. The MER is an important ratio that investors can use to
compare the costs incurred by a particular Fund with other funds within the same category. A lower MER indicates the
effectiveness of the Manager in managing the costs of the Fund.
Illustration:
MER =
Management Fees + Trustee Fees + Other Expenses
Average NAV of the Fund calculated on a daily basis
X 100%
The Management Expense Ratio for the Fund as at 31 August 2009 is 0.56%.

Policy on Stockbroking Rebates and Soft Commissions
The Manager or the Trustee (for its own account) or any delegate thereof must not retain any rebate from, or otherwise
share in any commission with, any broker in consideration for direct dealings in the investments of the Funds. The
Manager will pursue a policy of not accepting any Stockbroking Rebates.
However, goods and services (“soft commissions”) from any broker may be retained by the Manager or any delegate
thereof, only if the goods and services are of demonstrable benefit to the Unit Holders such as research materials and
computer software which are incidental to the investment management activities of the Fund.
8.9
Distribution Reinvestment Option
If income is distributed, it will be forwarded to Unit Holders by distribution cheques to the latest address shown in the
Register. Unit Holders may, however, choose to re-invest the distribution by selecting the proper option in the
Application Form or calling our Customer Service for assistance. If Unit Holders choose to reinvest their distributions
or in the absence of any written instructions, their reinvestments will be executed at NAV with NO sales charge. The
date of reinvestment of distribution shall be the income payment date. If Unit Holders wish to realise any capital gains
of the units held or distribution units, they can request the Manager to repurchase all or part of their units.
There are fees and charges involved and investors are advised to consider them before investing in the Funds.
(43811-W)

9.1
SALE AND PURCHASE OF UNITS
Computation of NAV
The Net Asset Value of each of the Funds is determined by deducting the value of all the respective Fund’s liabilities
from the value of all the respective Fund’s assets, at their respective valuation point. For the purpose of computing the
annual management fee and annual trustee fee, the NAV of the Funds is inclusive of the management fee and the trustee
fee for the relevant day.
The NAV per Unit of a particular Fund at a valuation point is determined by dividing the NAV of that Fund at that
valuation point by the number of Units in circulation of that Fund at the same valuation point. As an illustration, if for
example, at 5.00 pm on 2 October the NAV of the KJF is RM210,000,000 and the number of Units in circulation for
that Fund is 1,900,000, the NAV per Unit of the KJF at that point in time would be:
RM210,000,000
1,900,000
= RM110.5263
9.2
Pricing of Units
Single Pricing
As the SC has implemented the Single Pricing Regime on the 1st July 2007 wherein all unit trust funds shall be based
on single price, i.e., the NAV per Unit of a Fund. The Selling Price and Buying/Repurchase Price per Unit for the
Funds shall be the NAV per Unit of the respective Funds. The Selling Price and Buying Price of Units are based on
forward pricing; this means that Units will be bought and sold on the NAV per Unit at the valuation point next
following the receipt by the Manager of an application to buy or a request to repurchase Units. For any
purchase/redemption request received or deemed to have been received via fax notifications from agents by the
Manager at or before 12.00 p.m., the selling price/buying price would be the NAV per Unit at the end of the Business
Day on which the request is received by the Manager. Any request received or deemed to have been received after this
cut-off time would be considered as having been received on the next Business Day and would be the NAV per Unit on
that next Business Day.
Example:
Assuming the NAV per Unit on 9 July is RM0.50 and if you make a payment of RM10,000.00, the amount to be
invested in a Fund is calculated as follows:
Total amount invested
Total sales charge (0.00%) incurred
=
=
RM10,000.00
RM0.00
Total amount to be paid by you
=
RM10,000.00
Incorrect Pricing
Subject to any relevant law, if there is an error in the pricing of the NAV per Unit of the Fund; the Manager will take
immediate remedial action to correct the error. Rectification shall, where necessary, extend to the reimbursements of
money as follows if the error is at or above the significant threshold of 0.5% of the NAV per Unit:
(a) if there is an over pricing in relation to the purchase and creation of Units, the Fund shall reimburse the Unit
Holder;
(b) if there is an over pricing in relation to the repurchase of Units, the Manager shall reimburse the Fund;
(c) if there is an under pricing in relation to the purchase and creation of Units, the Manager shall reimburse the Fund;
and
(d) if there is an under pricing in relation to the repurchase of Units, the Fund shall reimburse the Unit Holder or
former Unit Holder.
(43811-W)
39
The Manager retains the discretion whether or not to reimburse if the error is below 0.5% of the NAV per Unit or
where the total impact on an individual account is less than RM10.00 in absolute amount. This is because the
reprocessing costs may be greater than the amount of the adjustment.
Calculation of Selling Price
If, for example an application for Units of the KMMF is received at or before 12.00 p.m. on 9 July and the NAV per
Unit of the KMMF at the end of the Business Day on 9 July is RM98.1421, under the single pricing regime, the Selling
Price per Unit of that Fund will be RM98.1421. As the Manager does not intend to impose a sales charge for the
KMMF, if an investor decides to invest RM10,000 at or before 12.00 p.m. on 9 July he would receive.
Say for example the NAV per Unit for KMMF at the
end of the Business Day on 9 July
= RM98.1421
The number of Units that will be issued to the
investor will be : RM10,000.00 divided by RM98.1421 (the NAV per Unit for KMMF)
= 101.8931 Units of the KMMF
If on the other hand, the application for Units of the KMMF is received after 12.00 p.m. on 9 July, the Selling Price per
Unit will be the NAV per Unit of the KMMF as at the close of the following Business Day, i.e.,10 July.
Calculation of Buying or Repurchase Price
If for example a repurchase request in respect of the KMMF is received by the Manager at or before 12.00 p.m. on 12
July and the NAV per Unit of the KMMF at the end of the Business Day on 12 July is RM100.3456, under the single
pricing regime, the Buying/ Repurchase Price per Unit will be RM100.3456. The Manager does not intend to impose a
repurchase charge in respect of the KMMF Fund. Should an investor wish to repurchase RM10,000 worth of Units, he
would receive:
Say for example the NAV per Unit for KMMF at the
end of the Business Day on 12 July = RM100.3456
The number of Units that will be redeemed
by an investor will be : RM10,00.00 divided by RM100.3456 (the NAV per Unit for AIF)
= 99.6556 Units of KMMF repurchased
The total amount to be paid to an investor will be the number of Units to be redeemed multiplied with the NAV per
Unit.
= 99.6556 Units x RM100.3456
= RM10,000.00
Therefore the investor will receive RM10,000.00 as redemption proceeds.
If on the other hand, the request for repurchase for Units of the KMMF is received after 12.00 p.m. on 12 July, the
Buying/Repurchase Price per Unit will be the NAV per Unit of the KMMF as at the close of the following Business Day,
i.e.,13 July.
Policy on rounding adjustment
In calculating your investments with us, the NAV per Unit of the Fund which is also the Selling and Buying Price per
Unit of the Fund and the Units allocated to you will be rounded to four decimal places.
(43811-W)
(43811-W)
41
Qualified Unit Holders have the right to request a cancellation of their investments within 6 Business Days of the day
the purchase application is received by the Manager. Unit Holders who exercise their cooling-off rights will receive the
NAV per Unit on the day the Units were first purchased. When a cooling-off right is exercised, the money must be
refunded to the Unit Holder within 10 days of the receipt of the notice of cooling-off by the Manager.
9.8
Transfer of Ownership of Units
Subject to the discretion of the Manager, Unit Holders may transfer the ownership of their Units of any Fund to any
person at any point in time by completing the transfer application form and returning it to the Manager on any
Business Day. Transfers must be in terms of Units and not in Ringgit Malaysia (RM) value. A fee of RM50 will be
charged for each transfer of ownership.
9.9
Switching Facility

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Manager
The Manager is not aware of any existing and/or proposed related party transactions or conflict of interest situations
involving the Funds.
The Manager has in place policies and procedures to deal with any conflict of interest situations. In making an
investment transaction for the Funds, the Manager will not make improper use of its position in managing the Funds to
gain, directly or indirectly, any advantage or to cause detriment to the interests of Unit Holders. Where Directors or
the Investment Committee members’ interests may conflict with that of the Funds, they are to refrain from participating
in the decision-making process relating to the matter. Staffs are required to seek prior approval from the Compliance
Officer before dealing in any form of securities. All transactions with related parties are to be executed on terms which
are best available to the Funds and which are not less favourable to the Funds than an arms-length transaction between
independent parties.
Trustee
As HSBC (Malaysia) Trustee Berhad is the Trustee for the Funds, there may be proposed related party transactions
involving or in connection with the Funds in the following events:
(1)
where the Funds invest in instrument(s) offered by the HSBC Group (e.g. placement of monies, structured
products, etc);
(2)
where the Funds are being distributed by the HSBC Group as IUTA;
(3)
where the assets of the Funds are being custodised by the HSBC Group both as sub-custodian and global
custodian of the Fund (i.e. Trustee’s delegate); and
(4)
where the Funds obtain financing as permitted under the Guidelines, from the HSBC Group.
The Trustee has in place policies and procedures to deal with any conflict of interest situation. The Trustee will not
make improper use of its position as the owner of the Funds’ assets to gain, directly or indirectly, any advantage or cause
detriment to the interests of Unit Holders. Any related party transaction is to be made on terms which are best
available to the Funds and which are not less favourable to the Funds than an arms-length transaction between
independent parties.

APPROVALS AND CONDITIONS
Sub-paragraph 2.0(2) of Schedule C Appendix I to the Guidelines 3rd Edition issued on 1 April 2003 and updated
on 30 September 2003
The above restriction says that “the value of the fund’s holding in the securities/instruments of, and the
securities/instruments relating to, any single issuer must not exceed 15% of the fund’s NAV”. As the KJF will be
investing more than 15% of its NAV in a collective investment scheme (i.e. the Credit Agricole Greater China Fund),
the Manager has sought an exemption and variation from the Guidelines. The SC has on 30 May 2006 allowed the
Manager to invest 30% of its NAV into the collective investment scheme.

TAXATION OF THE FUNDS
The Board of Trustee/Directors
No.3 Jalan Conlay
50450 Kuala Lumpur
4 November 2009
Dear Sirs
Re: Taxation of the Fund and Unit Holders
This letter has been prepared for inclusion in the Prospectus in connection with the registration of the KAF Money
Market Fund, the KAF Jade Fund, and the KAF Bond Fund (“the Funds”):Taxation of the Fund
The Funds are treated as a unit trust for Malaysian tax purposes. The taxation of the Funds are therefore governed
principally by Sections 61 and 63B of the Malaysian Income Tax Act, 1967 (“the Act”).
Subject to certain exemptions, the income of the Funds in respect of investment income derived from or accruing in
Malaysia after deducting tax allowable expenses, is liable to Malaysian corporate income tax at the rate of 25% for Year
of Assessment (“YA”) 2009 and subsequent years of assessment. Investment income derived from sources outside
Malaysia and received in Malaysia is exempt from Malaysian income tax. However, such income may be subject to tax
in the country from which it is derived.
Capital gains from the realisation of investments (whether local or foreign) by the Funds will not be subject to income
tax.
With effect from YA 2008, the single-tier company income tax system (“single-tier system”) replaced the previous
dividend imputation system. Under the previous dividend imputation system, generally taxable Malaysian dividend
income received by the Funds would have suffered a tax deduction at source. Such tax deducted would generally be
available for set-off either wholly or partly against the tax liability of the Funds under the dividend imputation system.
Any excess over the tax liability would generally be refundable to the Funds. Under the single tier system, dividend
income (which is paid or credited under the single-tier system) received by the Funds will be exempted, and there will
be no tax deducted at source available to the Funds in respect of such dividend income. Saving and transitional
provisions apply during the period from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2013.
During such transitional period, the Funds may receive dividends which are paid under the dividend imputation system
and/or dividends which are paid or credited under the single-tier system. During the transitional period, only dividends
(which are paid under the dividend imputation system) paid in the form of cash on ordinary shares (held continuously
for 90 days or more, but the 90 days condition does not apply to dividends received from shares in public listed
companies) would be entitled to the tax deducted at source. The tax deducted at source will be available for set-off
either wholly or partly against the tax liability of the Funds. Other non-ordinary shares dividends received by the Funds
would be exempted from tax.
Interest income earned by the Funds from the following are exempt from tax:•
any savings certificates issued by the Government of Malaysia; or
•
securities or bonds issued or guaranteed by the Government of Malaysia; or
(43811-W)
62
•
debentures (or Islamic Securities, as proposed during the 2010 Budget tabled in the Parliament on 23 October
2009) (yet to be gazetted), other than convertible loan stock, approved by the Securities Commission; or
•
Bon Simpanan Malaysia issued by the Central Bank of Malaysia; or
•
bonds or securities issued by Pengurusan Danaharta Nasional Berhad; or
•
bonds, other than convertible loan stock, issued by any company listed in Malaysia Exchange of Securities Dealing
and Automated Quotation Berhad; or
•
A bank or financial institution licensed under the Banking and Financial Institution Act 1989 or Islamic Banking Act
1983.
•
Islamic securities (including sukuks) originating from Malaysia, other than convertible loan stock, issued in any
currency other than Ringgit and approved by the Securities Commission (or Labuan Offshore Financial Services
Authority as proposed during the 2010 Budget tabled in the Parliament on 23 Octoberf009) (yet to be gazetted).
Any income received by the Funds from Sukuk Issue which has been issued by the Malaysia Global Sukuk Inc will be
exempt from tax.
Discount or profit received by the Funds from sale of bonds or securities issued by Pengurusan Danaharta Nasional
Berhad or Danaharta Urus Sendirian Berhad is exempt from tax.
Discounts earned by the Funds from the following are also exempt from tax:•
securities or bonds issued or guaranteed by the Government; or
•
debentures (or Islamic Securities, as proposed during the 2010 Budget tabled in the Parliament on 23 October
2009) (yet to be gazetted), other than convertible loan stock, approved by the Securities Commission; or
•
Bon Simpanan Malaysia issued by the Central Bank of Malaysia.
Under the dividend imputation system, deduction in respect of the Funds’ expenses such as manager’s remuneration,
maintenance or register of shareholders, share registration expenses, secretarial, audit and accounting fees, telephone
charges, printing and stationery costs and postage are generally allowed based on a prescribed formula subject to a
minimum of 10 percent and a maximum of 25 percent of the total of these expenses. Under the single0tier system,
expenses incurred by the Funds in relation to dividend income (which is paid or credited under the single-tier system)
are disregarded. Saving and transitional provisions apply during the period from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2013.
Taxation of Unit Holders
Unit holders are taxed on an amount equivalent to their share of total taxable income of the Funds, to the extent that
this is distributed to them. The income distribution from the Funds may carry with it applicable tax credits
proportionate to each unit holder’s share of the total taxable income in respect of the tax paid by the Funds. Unit
holders will be entitled to utilise the tax credit as a set off against the tax payable by them. Any excess over their tax
liability will be refunded to the unit holders. No other withholding tax will be imposed on the income distribution of
the Funds.
Corporate unit holders, resident or non resident in Malaysia, would be taxed at the corporate tax rate of 25% for YA
2009 and subsequent years of assessment, on distributions of income from the Funds to the extent of an amount
equivalent to their share of the total taxable income of the Funds. Corporate unit holders whose paid-up capital in the
form of ordinary shares does not exceed RM2.5 million will be subject to a tax rate of 20% on chargeable income of up
to RM500,000. For chargeable income in excess of RM500,000, the tax rate of 25% for YA 2009 and subsequent years
of assessment, will still apply. However, with effect from YA 2009 the said tax rate of 20% on chargeable income of up
to RM500,000 will not apply if more than 50% of the paid up capital in respect of ordinary shares of the company is
directly or indirectly owned by a holding company which has a paid up capital exceeding RM2.5 million in respect of
ordinary shares, or vice versa, or more than.50% of the paid up capital in respect of ordinary shares of both companies
are directly or indirectly owned by another company.
(43811-W)
63
Individuals and other non-corporate unit holders who are resident in Malaysia will be subject to income tax at scale
rates. The prevailing scale rates range from 1% to 27% with effect from YA 2009. It was proposed during the 2010
Budget tabled in the Parliament on 23 October 2009, that amongst other things, the top marginal tax rate of 27% be
reduced by 1 % to 26% with effect from YA 2010 (yet to be gazetted).
Individuals and other non-corporate unit holders who are not resident in Malaysia for tax purposes, will be subject to
Malaysian income tax (the prevailing rate is 27%). It was proposed during the 2010 Budget tabled in the Parliament on
23 October 2009, that amongst other things, the top marginal tax rate of 27% be reduced by 1% to 26% with effect
from YA 2010 (yet to be gazetted). Non resident unit holders may also be subject to tax in their respective jurisdictions
and depending on the provisions of the relevant tax legislation and any double tax treaties with Malaysia, the Malaysian
tax suffered may be creditable in the foreign tax jurisdictions.
The distribution of single-tier dividends and other tax exempt tax income by the Funds will be exempted from tax in
the hands of the unit holders in Malaysia. Distribution of foreign income will also be exempted from tax in the hands of
the unit holders.
Unit split by the Funds will be exempted from tax in Malaysia in the hands of the unit holders.
Any gains realised by the unit holders (other than financial institutions, insurance companies and those dealing in
securities) from the transfers or redemptions of the units are treated as capital gains which are not subject to income tax
in Malaysia. However, certain unit holders may be subject to income tax in Malaysia on such gains, due to specific
circumstances of the unit holders.
The tax position is based on the Malaysian tax laws and provisions as they stand as at present. All prospective investors
should not treat the contents of this letter as advice relating to taxation matters and are advised to consult their own
professional advisers concerning their respective investments.

UNIT TRUST LOAN FINANCING RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
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 instalments. 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 doubts in respect
of any of this risk disclosure statement or the terms of the loan financing, you should consult the
institution offering the loan.

Unit Trust Loan Financing Risk Disclosure Statement
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.
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.
(ii)
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 instalments. If you fail to comply within the time prescribed, your units may be sold to settle your loan.
(iii)
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.
(iv)
This 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 doubts in respect of any of this risk disclosure statement or the terms of the loan financing, you should consult the
institution offering the loan.
