7 Takafulink Funds Report 2013 INVESTMENT REVIEW 5 Equity Market Much of first quarter of 2013 saw Malaysian investors preoccupied with the prospect of the general elections being called. Early in the quarter, the FBM KLCI peaked at 1694 points but consolidated soon after as concerns over the timing of the general elections continued to haunt the equity markets. Weak corporate results released in February did not help market sentiment, and investors remained jittery. By end of the quarter, expectations were high for the dissolution of Parliament to be called, but did not happen. The FBM KLCI corrected to as low as 1613 points in February, before rebounding to close the quarter at or -1.03% quarter-on-quarter. During the quarter, foreign investors continued to be net buyers of Malaysian equities and have been since December of 2012, whilst local investors were generally net sellers. The Malaysian equity market started second quarter of 2013 as a laggard in terms of performance as regional markets did well, whilst the domestic market remained distracted with the 13th General Elections. Nevertheless, the FBM KLCI hit new highs during the quarter when the election overhang was removed with a comfortable win by the incumbent which would imply continuity of policies, particularly the implementation of the Economic Transformation Programme. By mid second quarter of 2013, markets were surprised by the US Fed s Bernanke comments and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes released raised the risk of an earlier than expected Fed quantitative easing (QE) taper, and weaker than expected manufacturing numbers from China and growing concerns of a potential credit crunch in China spooked equity markets. Funds flowed out of emerging markets on fears of deteriorating current account and fiscal deficits, and Asian currencies depreciated sharply against the US Dollar. Malaysia was not spared from the correction, but managed to rebound towards the end of the second quarter of 2013 as global markets stabilised and recovered. Third quarter of 2013 started well for Malaysia, benefiting from the global rebound, and saw the KLCI scale new highs. However, selling pressure soon set in when Fitch Rating revised its outlook on Malaysia to negative from stable, on the back of worsening public finance outlook. Malaysia was not spared in the mid third quarter of 2013 corrections experienced by most emerging markets, which fell on the back of macro concerns, and the currencies of Indonesia, India, Thailand and Malaysia depreciated against other major currencies. By end of third quarter of 2013, Malaysia rebounded briefly in tandem with most regional markets given the expectation of further delay in QE tapering.

8 6 Takafulink Funds Report 2013 Investment Review Equity Market (continued) Malaysia rebounded in fourth quarter of 2013 on the back of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) elections securing an outcome that was as expected, and the announcement of what seemed like a fiscally responsible Budget 2014, which introduced the goods and services tax (GST) effective 1 April 2015, more subsidy rationalisation measures, and measures to curb property speculation. Mid fourth quarter of 2013 saw some consolidation and profit taking, as corporate results announced were not inspiring, and foreign investors were net sellers for the month of November with RM3.1bn in equities. By the end of fourth quarter of 2013, Malaysian equity indices scaled new all time highs as investors built positions ahead of The FBM KLCI closed the year under review at points, up 10.54%. The broader FBM Emas Index closed the period under review higher by 12.38%. The MSCI Asia Pacific ex-japan Index rose by 0.46% in USD terms 1. Sukuk Market Review Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) held the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) steady at 3% throughout the period under review, and since May In the January 2013 Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting, BNM noted weak external demand, particularly from the advanced economies, but that growth in regional economies remained supported by domestic demand. Domestically, the weaker external sector was offset by sustained expansion in domestic activities. Private consumption was supported by income growth and stable employment conditions, while investment was led by capital spending in domestic oriented sectors, the oil and gas sector and implementation of infrastructure projects. In the July 2013 meeting, BNM stated that global monetary conditions remained highly accommodative but financial market volatility had increased as markets reassessed the direction of policy. In the September 2013 meeting, BNM again took note of substantial volatility in global financial markets on market uncertainty over policy direction and that reversing flows from emerging economies following a strong period of inflows had resulted in the depreciation of emerging market currencies. Domestically, domestic demand continued to support growth amid weaknesses in external demand. The impact of subsidy adjustments on consumption spending was expected to be contained by targeted financial assistance. 1 Source: Bloomberg: World indices

9 Takafulink Funds Report 2013 Investment Review 7 Sukuk Market Review (continued) Domestic investment activity continued to be led by capital spending in domestic-oriented industries and the ongoing implementation of infrastructure projects. In the MPC meeting on 7 November 2013, BNM noted that the global economy continued to improve at a moderate pace. In major advanced economies, recovery remained gradual and uneven, whereas in Asia, growth had been sustained on improved exports amid moderating domestic economic activities. Volatility in the global financial markets had receded but markets remained vulnerable to setbacks and changes in sentiment. For the Malaysian economy, the expansion in domestic activities has been supported by improvements in exports. Private consumption and investment have sustained domestic demand amid slower public spending. Headline inflation rose from 1.2% yoy in December 2012 to 2.9% yoy in November The increase was mainly driven by faster inflation in food and non alcoholic beverages. Inflation is expected to edge up driven by domestic cost factors. However, the inflation outlook is expected to be tempered by a stable external price environment, moderate domestic demand pressures, expansion in domestic capacity and improvements in food production and distribution. The MPC assessed that there continues to be uncertainties in the balance of risks surrounding the outlook for domestic growth and inflation. For the period under review, the 3-, 5- and 10-year sovereign sukuk yields rose by 15 bps, 63 bps and 82 bps to close at 3.38%, 3.95% and 4.43% respectively. The MGII curve shifted up during the period under review largely on expectations of QE tapering by the Federal Reserve. Corporate sukuk yields generally moved in tandem with sovereign sukuk yields, albeit at a lag. Activities in the corporate sukuk market were supported by ample liquidity and a stable credit environment. On the supply front, total outstanding MYR issuances at the end of December 2013 stood at about RM1037bn, of which approximately 50.2% was conventional and 49.8% was Islamic 2. The proportion of corporate sukuk in the sukuk universe was higher at about 36% compared to the proportion of corporate bonds in the conventional bonds universe of about 24%. Major primary issuances were from the power, banking, telco and tolled highway sectors, as well as government guaranteed sukuk. The largest corporate non-government guaranteed issuance was RM6.87bn of Binariang GSM Management Sdn Bhd, which was to refinance existing sukuk. Other notable issuances included Malakoff Power s RM5.38b issuance for debt restructuring. 2 Source: Bond Pricing Agency Malaysia

10 8 Takafulink Funds Report 2013 Investment Review Asia-Pacific ex-japan 2012 s year-end positive momentum carried through with global equity markets benefitting from increased risk appetites at the start of Most of Asia Pacific ex-japan equity markets too ended firmer in January as global tail risks abated. However markets were rattled in February when the banking crisis in Cyprus posed a threat to euro zone s financial stability. The end of the first quarter saw mixed performances across the global equity markets. China dented the performance of Asian markets. There were exceptions; Thailand, Indonesia and Philippines finished strongly supported by strong domestic demand and improving macro fundamentals. The second quarter was marked by volatility. The strong momentum for risky assets faded in May, followed by a global sell-off in late May and early June. Markets were unnerved by the US Fed Chairman s comments on the possibility of tapering of QE later in the year; interest rates across bond markets globally rose sharply in reaction. Global equities fell in the quarter, with emerging markets among the worst hit. The prospect of a reduced and an eventual unwind of QE support for bond markets, coupled with concerns over weakening economic prospects in the emerging markets, particularly in China, led to portfolio outflows from emerging markets. Asia ex-japan stock markets rose moderately in the third quarter as investors welcomed the US Fed s unexpected decision to delay tapering. Signs of a recovery in Chinese economic activity shored sentiment but emerging market concerns, namely widening current account deficits and weakening currencies, however, continued to cap the upside. The fourth quarter saw more moderate gains in Asia ex Japan markets. Markets were buoyed by the favourable economic news out of China and India. However, confidence faded after concerns in emerging Asia which included the impact of a deadly typhoon in the Philippines, political unrest in Thailand, and a weakening currency in Indonesia. Markets lost momentum by year-end as the United States Federal Reserve announced that it would start to taper its asset purchase program in January 2014.

12 10 Takafulink Funds Report 2013 INVESTMENT OUTLOOK Equity Thus far the reaction towards the commencement of the QE tapering has been quite controlled and manageable. This event should bring some optimism that the global economic recovery is on track, whilst being reassured of a low interest rate environment. The tapering scare in May 2013 had been the wakeup call much needed by many of the emerging markets to start focusing on strengthening their fiscal and current accounts, and hence we expect the impact of this latest decision to have less of an impact than before. Domestically, the Malaysian government has continued on their subsidy rationalisation stance with the hikes in electricity tariff, and talks about allowing the toll concessionaires to raise the tolls as stipulated in their concession agreements. However, consumers have started to tighten their belts in light of suppliers raising their prices, passing on the effects of the subsidy rationalisation. The BR1M payment has been distributed in February 2014, which should alleviate some of the increases in cost of living, but the government s political will, will be under pressure. Staying true to the fiscal consolidation path should deter rating agencies from downgrading Malaysia s sovereign rating, and improve Malaysia s balance sheet strength. We expect a better 2014 for the Malaysia equity market, mainly supported by earnings recovery following a lackluster 2013 earnings. With stronger oil & gas orders, improving CPO prices, less external sectors drag and lower base in 2013, we expect market earnings to grow by 10-12% in Despite our overall positive view on the Malaysia market next year, we think the journey will be volatile. We are cautious in the first half of 2014, mainly on concern of the impact of US QE tapering. We think the QE tapering may have negative impact on the Malaysia market, which may result in weakness in Ringgit. Equities with high foreign holdings may also be negatively impacted. Other short term headwinds will be the continue subsidy rationalisation and credit tightening measures, which may impact the domestic consumption growth. We are more positive on the second half of 2014 outlook. Barring any unforeseen shocks, we expect the corporate earnings growth to drive a better market performance in the second half.

13 Takafulink Funds Report 2013 Investment Outlook 11 Sukuk In the MPC meeting on 7 November, BNM kept the OPR unchanged at 3.0%. BNM noted that the global economy continued to improve at a moderate pace. In the major advanced economies, recovery remained gradual and uneven, whereas in Asia, growth has been sustained on improved exports amid moderating domestic economic activities. Volatility in the global financial markets has receded but markets remained vulnerable to setbacks and changes in sentiment. For the Malaysian economy, the expansion in domestic activity has been supported by improvements in exports. Private consumption and investment have sustained domestic demand amid slower public spending. Going forward, growth is expected to benefit from improvements in the external sector amid some moderation in domestic demand. Domestic demand is expected to moderate reflecting public sector consolidation and some moderation in private consumption. Inflation is expected to edge up driven by domestic cost factors. However, the inflation outlook is expected to be tempered by a stable external price environment, moderate domestic demand pressures, expansion in domestic capacity and improvements in food production and distribution. The MPC assessed that there continues to be uncertainties in the balance of risks surrounding the outlook for domestic growth and inflation. With this, the OPR could likely remain at 3.0% for first half of On 20 November, Moody s upgraded the outlook for Malaysia s government bond and issuer ratings from stable to positive. It affirmed the rating at A3 (the other two international rating agencies, Fitch and Standard & Poor s had affirmed Malaysia s sovereign rating with negative and stable outlooks respectively in July). Moody s cited improved prospects for fiscal consolidation, highlighting measures announced by the government including the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and reduction in fuel subsidies. It also noted the depth of the nation s onshore capital markets and stable economic performance. On 2 December, the government announced a hike in electricity tariffs averaging 15% for Peninsular Malaysia and 17% for Sabah and Labuan to take effect in 2014, effectively reducing subsidies by the government. Moody s stated that the move was positive for Malaysia s credit rating. On 18 December, the US Federal Reserve announced that it would taper its monthly bond purchases to $75bn from $85bn beginning January The 10 year US Treasury yield rose in December, crossing the 3% level by the end of the month. Volatility in the local fixed income market is likely to persist on tapering initiated by the Federal Reserve.

14 12 Takafulink Funds Report 2013 Investment Outlook Asia Outlook Looking ahead, Asian share valuations are attractively below their long-term averages. A slow but apparently steady economic recovery in the United States and the deceleration of Europe s banking and economic crisis may herald a recovery of global consumption. This can provide solid opportunities for Asian earnings growth and a rebound of valuations by whetting demand for the region s exports. Global Market Overview Financial markets started 2013 on a positive note as the worst-case outcomes from the US fiscal cliff deal failed to materialise. Subsequent European debt issues, however, and softer Chinese economic data dampened sentiment especially in the emerging economies. In general, risk assets in many developed economies rallied until early May as confidence in a healing US economy grew. The positive momentum came to halt in late May and June after the US Federal Reserve Board indicated that it could scale back its QE programme should the US economy continues to recover. Both bonds and equities sold off sharply haunted by the spectre of rising interest rates. The third quarter of 2013, however, ended positively for global equities. Improving economic data and reassurance from a number of central banks that monetary policy would remain accommodative soothed the market. The US Federal Reserve s unexpected decision to defer QE tapering and its dovish assessment of the US economy reinforced expectations that the Fed would keep policy rates low for a sustained period. Global equities generally rose over the fourth quarter, with the US, Japan and Europe outperforming, as positive data pointed to an ongoing economic recovery. Over in Asia Pacific, the gains were more moderate. Early optimism running up to China s third plenum and the promise of reforms was offset by a number of concerns in emerging Asian markets, namely the impact of a deadly typhoon in the Philippines, political unrest in Thailand and currency weakening in Indonesia. Markets too lost momentum by year-end as the US Federal Reserve announced that it would start to taper its asset purchase program in January 2014.

15 Takafulink Funds Report 2013 Investment Outlook 13 Global (continued) Market Overview (continued) All said, 2013 has been the year of the developed markets. US equities posted the strongest gains; the MSCI US index rose by 32%. Japanese equities rose 27%, inspired by a promise of growth under Abenomics and a weaker yen. Even troubled Europe posted double digit returns of 25%. Emerging markets were, in contrast, weaker and ended 2013 in negative territory. Disappointing growth, excessive credit growth and rising external imbalances were the key reasons investors shunned emerging markets. Another notable feature of 2013 was a continuation of the move by equity investors into increasingly expensive safe sectors (i.e. those that are relatively insulated from slower economic growth). This move was at the expense of the cyclical sectors (i.e. those that are more exposed to growth), which have become progressively cheaper. The valuation gap between the safe and the cyclical sectors seems unjustified. At some point, investors will make the switch, but what the trigger will be is not yet apparent. After a good ride in 2012, bonds/sukuk faced a number of challenges in Tapering fears caused bonds/sukuk to sell off globally; Asian domestic bonds/sukuk and currencies sold off to levels not seen since their 2009 lows. A substantial shift in investors tolerance for duration risk, rather than credit risk, drove bonds/sukuk fund outflows on the whole. In general, corporate credits, particularly high yield corporate bonds/sukuk, offered better value than developed government bonds/sukuk. Outlook With the tapering underway, the focus has shifted to interest rates. US monetary policy, however, is expected to remain easy. Considerable economic slack and subdued inflationary pressures in the US serve as major impediments to any significant rise in rates anytime soon. This is corroborated by the Fed s decidedly dovish stance in its December s forward policy guidance. As such the near to medium term outlook for corporate credits remains positive. As for equities, stronger growth in developed markets could continue to drive markets higher but ultimately earnings will hold the key to further market gains.

40 38 Takafulink Funds Report 2013 NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies a. Basis of Accounting The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with The Guidelines on Investment-Linked Insurance/ Takaful Business (BNM/RH/GL ) and the requirements of the certificate document, modified by the following: (i) (ii) for the purpose of unit pricing, investments at market value are adjusted to include future cost of acquisitions. This is to ensure equitable unit pricing for incoming, outgoing and remaining unit-holders; for the purpose of unit pricing, provision for deferred tax is recognised on taxable and deductible temporary differences using an actuarially calculated rate of 4% instead of the statutory rate of 8%. The Board of Directors are of the opinion that since these temporary differences will only be realised in the future, the lower tax rate of 4% has been used to ensure equitable unit pricing for incoming, outgoing and remaining unit-holders; and (iii) all deferred tax assets or liabilities arising from the temporary differences on unrealised gains or losses are recognised. b. Investments Quoted investments are valued at the closing market prices at the end of the financial year. Unquoted sukuk are valued at the prevailing prices quoted by financial institutions. Net unrealised gains or losses in value of investments are credited or charged to the capital account. c. Dividend Income Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established. d. Profit Income Profit income is recognised on an accrual basis.
