4 FUND PERFORMANCE For The Financial Period From 1 January 2018 To 30 June 2018 Market Review The local bond yields closed marginally weaker during the interim period on the back of weaker Treasuries and the overnight policy rate hike in January. The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) delivered a 25 basis points hike in the overnight policy rate to 3.25% in the January meeting, the first hike since July In the accompanying statement, Bank Negara Malaysia cited the need to normalize monetary accommodation in light of the steady economic growth and in a bid to pre-empt the build-up of risks as a result of prolonged low interest rates. Thereafter, local yields were well-supported, tracking the stronger Ringgit against the USD which subsequently traded sub RM3.900 to the Dollar as at end-march. Bank Negara released the 2017 Annual Report with revisions in growth projections to % in 2018 on stronger global growth prospects and positive spill over to the domestic economy. Additionally, a lower inflation forecast of % was introduced. Towards mid second quarter 2018, the local bond market saw a general upward trend across the curve as sentiment was largely affected by rising Treasury yields coupled with the post-election sell-off. Market players were cautious over the policy direction of the new government and more importantly its implications on the Ringgit and fiscal impact from the implementation of the new government s key election proposals such as abolishment of GST and re-introduction of fuel subsidies. Flows were generally thin with onshore investors in the shorter-end of the yield curve while offshore investors were sellers across the curve. Meanwhile, Bank Negara maintained overnight policy rate at 3.25% at the MPC meeting in May and expects the economy to remain on a steady growth path amid moderating inflation trend. The yield curve shifted in a near parallel move with the 3-year Malaysian Government Securities (MGS) and 10-year MGS increasing by 30 basis points and 29 basis points respectively to close at 3.62% and 4.20%. Fund Review Total NAV of the Pacific Islamic Cash Fund increased to RM353,939,307 while NAV per unit was maintained at par value due to daily reset of distribution payments. As at 30 June 2018, the portfolio was 100% invested in commodity murabahah deposits. During the period, the Fund outperformed its benchmark by 81 basis points returning 1.68% while the benchmark returned 0.87%. Outperformance was due to active allocation of tenures in view of minimizing early termination of deposit placements prior to its contractual maturity. During the period, the Fund benefited from higher cash deposit rates following the 25 basis points overnight policy rate hike in January. Thereafter, rates were seen trading steadily in range. 3
