The Index subsequently traded range-bound in late May on the back of softer global energy prices. The market rose in early June amid sustained buying support for selected blue chips but moved lower in late June on softer oil prices. In July, the Index remained in a tight trading range due to a lack of fresh catalysts to draw further buying interest from foreign investors. The FBMS rose in August amid buying support for selected blue chips. The Index continued its uptrend in early September before easing lower on the back of profi t-taking activities. The Index moved higher in October amid gains in technology and energy stocks. The FBMS closed at 13, points to register a gain of 0.85% for the fi nancial period under review.

Commencing the fi nancial period under review at points, the U.S. equity market, as proxied by the S&P U.S. Shariah Index, moved modestly higher in May 2017 on the back of strong U.S. corporate earnings and the market-friendly outcome of the French presidential election. The market subsequently declined in June amid a broad-based weakness in technology stocks. The Index rebounded in July and August amid better-than-expected U.S. corporate earnings and economic data. Following gains in September on the back of easing geopolitical tensions in the Korean peninsula, the Index rose in October amid strong corporate earnings and renewed optimism over the U.S. tax reform policy after the Senate narrowly passed the fi scal 2018 budget resolution.

6 Manager s Report Manager s Report Sukuk Market and Islamic Money Market Review Commencing the financial period under review, the domestic sukuk market traded higher in May 2017 on the back of a firmer Ringgit as well as the release of a better-than-expected economic growth of 5.6% for 1Q 2017 and a lower inflation rate of 4.4% for April. However, domestic sukuk yields edged up in June in tandem with higher global bond yields following the announcement of the second U.S. interest rate hike for this year coupled with the hawkish comments made by selected major central banks. There were also growing concerns that the U.S. Federal Reserve may reduce its holdings of government and mortgage bonds (also known as balance sheet reduction). Nevertheless, buying interest returned to the domestic sukuk market in August on fi rmer U.S. Treasuries, a broadly weaker U.S. Dollar as well as accelerating economic growth and lower inflation in Malaysia. The domestic sukuk market subsequently retreated following the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting in September, where the Federal Reserve announced that it would start its balance sheet reduction program in October while affirming the likelihood of a 25 basis points (bps) rate hike in December. Domestic sukuk yields inched up in October amid higher global bond yields and a stronger U.S. Dollar, driven by increased probability of a U.S. rate hike in December. For the fi nancial period under review, the yield of 3-year GII eased by 18 bps to 3.49%, while the yield of 10-year GII edged up by 2 bps to 4.14%. The Overnight Islamic Rate commenced the financial period under review at 2.99% and ranged between 2.96% to 3.00% over the 6-month, before ending the financial period under review at 2.99%.

Malaysia s export growth accelerated to 22.2% in the first eight months of 2017 from 1.2% in 2016 due mainly to higher exports of electrical and electronic products. Import growth surged to 23.0% from 1.9% over the same period. Malaysia s cumulative trade surplus widened to RM60.8 billion in the first eight months of 2017 compared to RM52.5 billion for the corresponding period of the prior year. Due to capital inflows, Malaysia s foreign reserves rose to US$101.2 billion as at end-september 2017 compared to US$97.7 billion a year ago. Malaysia s inflation rate climbed to 4.0% in the first nine months of 2017 from 2.1% in 2016 amid higher transportation costs arising from elevated fuel prices. Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) maintained the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 3.00% to support economic activities. Loans growth inched lower to 5.2% in the first nine months of 2017 from 5.3% in 2016 on the back of slower demand from the household sector. On the regional front, Singapore s GDP growth expanded from 2.0% in 2016 to 3.3% in the fi rst three quarters of 2017 due to higher output from the manufacturing and services sectors. Indonesia s economic growth was sustained at 5.0% in 1H 2017 compared to a similar growth rate in 2016 on the back of resilient domestic demand. Led by resilient consumer spending and higher export growth, Thailand s GDP growth edged up from 3.2% in 2016 to 3.5% in 1H In North Asia, China s GDP growth expanded from 6.7% in 2016 to 6.9% in the fi rst three quarters of 2017, driven by fi rmer growth in the industrial sector. Hong Kong s GDP growth strengthened from 2.0% in 2016 to 4.0% in 1H 2017 due to higher consumer spending and export growth. Meanwhile, Taiwan s GDP growth strengthened from 1.5% in 2016 to 2.6% in the fi rst three quarters of 2017 amid higher export growth. Led by higher investment spending and export growth, U.S. GDP growth rose from 1.5% in 2016 to 2.2% in the fi rst three quarters of Investment spending increased by 3.1% in the fi rst three quarters of 2017 compared to a contraction of 1.6% in 2016 due to higher investment in equipment.

At the FOMC meeting on 31 October 1 November 2017, the Federal Reserve maintained the Federal funds rate target range at 1.00%-1.25%.

Outlook and Investment Strategy After trading on a mixed note in 1H 2016, global and regional markets strengthened in 2H 2016 amid an improved outlook for the U.S. and global economies. Global and regional equity markets continued to trend higher in the fi rst 10 months of 2017 on expectations that the global economy would grow at a resilient pace. Looking ahead, the performance of the equity markets will depend on the economic growth momentum and market valuations of the U.S., Europe and the Asia Pacifi c region. U.S. economic growth is projected to edge up from 2.2% in 2017 to 2.4% in 2018, driven by higher investment spending. In the Eurozone, economic growth is envisaged to ease from 2.2% in 2017 to 1.8% in 2018 on expectations of slower export growth. In North Asia, China s GDP growth is estimated to moderate from 6.8% in 2017 to 6.4% in 2018 as China continues to transform from a manufacturing-driven and export-led economy to one underpinned by services and domestic consumption. Meanwhile, China s infl ation rate is projected to increase from 1.6% in 2017 to 2.2% in 2018.

7 Manager s Report Extracts Of Financial Statements Hong Kong s GDP growth is expected to ease from 3.4% in 2017 to 2.5% in 2018 amid moderating export growth. Going forward, the Hong Kong government is anticipated to maintain its tightening stance on the residential property market. However, ample liquidity, demand for better living standards and resilient economic growth should lend support to Hong Kong s property market over the long term. Meanwhile, Taiwan s GDP growth is envisaged to remain unchanged at 2.2% in 2018 compared to a similar growth rate in 2017, driven by sustained domestic demand. In South-East Asia, Singapore s GDP growth is estimated to edge down from 2.5% in 2017 to 2.4% in 2018 on expectations of moderating export growth. Indonesia s GDP growth is expected to expand from 5.2% in 2017 to 5.4% in 2018 due to robust domestic demand. Meanwhile, Thailand s GDP growth is envisaged to be sustained at 3.5% in 2018 compared to a similar growth rate in 2017 on the back of resilient domestic demand. On the domestic front, Malaysia s GDP growth is projected to ease from 5.2% in 2017 to 4.8% in 2018 amid moderating export growth. However, domestic demand will be supported by sustained consumer and investment spending backed by government measures to increase disposable incomes as well as the ongoing implementation of infrastructure projects. The budget deficit is projected to narrow to RM39.8 billion (2.8% of GDP) in 2018 from the RM39.9 billion (3.0% of GDP) estimated for 2017 while the federal revenue is forecast to expand by 6.4% to RM239.9 billion in Meanwhile, operating expenditure and net development expenditure are expected to grow by 6.5% to RM234.3 billion and 0.2% to RM45.4 billion respectively in As at end-october 2017, the local stock market was trading at a prospective P/E ratio of 16.6x, which was above its 10-year average of 16.4x.

Among the regional markets, South-East Asian markets were trading at premiums while North Asian markets were generally trading at discounts to their historical averages following their respective performances over the same period.
