13 MIMEC The above limits and restrictions must be complied with at all times based on the most up-to-date value of the Fund and value of the investments. However, a 5% allowance in excess of any limit or restriction may be permitted where the limit or restriction is breached through the appreciation or depreciation of the NAV of the Fund (whether as a result of an appreciation or depreciation in the value of the investments, or as a result of repurchase of Units or payment made from the Fund). The Manager will not make any further acquisitions to which the relevant limit is breached and the Manager should within a reasonable period of not more than sixty (60) days from the date of the breach take all necessary steps and actions to rectify the breach. xiv) Valuation of Permitted Investment The valuation bases for the permitted investments of this Fund are as follows: Investments such as placement and Fixed Deposits placed with financial institutions are valued each day by reference to the principal value of such investments and income accrued thereon for the relevant period; CPs, treasury bills, bankers acceptance, Bank Negara Malaysia bills and Bank Negara Malaysia negotiable notes shall be valued daily based on accretion to maturity value of the securities; and Fixed income securities shall be valued daily based on the closing price quoted by Bond Pricing Agency ( BPA ). Where such prices are not available or where the Manager is of the view that the price quoted by the BPA for a specific fixed income securities differs from the market price by more than twenty (20) basis point, the Manager may use the market price by reference to the last available quote, provided such quote was obtained within the previous thirty (30) days and the Manager records its basis for using a non-bpa price.

When interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities falls and vice versa, thus affecting the NAV of the Fund. The magnitude of the drop in price is normally greater for longer-tenure securities rather than shorter-tenure securities as they are more sensitive to interest rate changes. Additionally, interest rate fluctuations do affect the Fixed Deposit returns of the Fund. Interest rates offered by the financial institutions will fluctuate according to the overnight policy rate determined by Bank Negara Malaysia and this has direct correlation with the Fund s investment in Fixed Deposit. The Fund will benefit from higher interest rate and in the event that the interest rate is low the Fund s returns will also be low. b) Credit / Default Risk This risk occurs when the issuer of the investments of the Fund, for example, when a financial institution defaults on its agreement, i.e. unable to service any deposit interest or pay the principal amount upon maturity. In such cases, Investors may suffer significant capital losses with regards to their capital invested and interest foregone. c) Deposit Account Risk When the Fund invests into Fixed Deposits, the interest rates/profits are safeguarded by the financial institutions. However, the investments are not without risk. In the event that the financial institutions become insolvent, the Fund might have difficulty in getting back the money. 13

15 MIMEC Risk Management Strategies and Techniques Prudent strategies will be adopted in structuring the Fund s portfolio as the Manager will assess the investment prospects of the placements/instruments and securities to the underlying interest rate factors, market outlook and other prevailing factors. The Fund has very limited exposure to market risk by nature of its investments in placing minimum 50% of the NAV of the Fund in Fixed Deposits and maximum 50% of the NAV of the Fund into money market instruments that are highly liquid and Short Term, securities issued by Bank Negara Malaysia and/or by Government of Malaysia. Fixed deposit shall be placed in any strong financial institutions with a minimum A rating by RAM or equivalent rating by MARC. In the event that such rating is not available to the financial institutions, the Manager shall depend on the rating given by RAM or MARC to the holding company of the respective financial institutions. In the event some of the underlying investments of the Fund are not actively traded, Investors are warned that under such circumstances, they may face difficulties in redeeming their investments. It is important to note that events affecting the investments cannot always be foreseen. Therefore, it is not always possible to protect investment against all risks. The various asset classes exhibit different levels of risk. Please note that the returns of the Fund are not guaranteed. The investment of the Fund carries risks and Investors are recommended to read the whole Information Memorandum to assess the risks of the Fund. Investors are reminded that the above list of risks may not be exhaustive and if necessary, they should consult their adviser(s), e.g. their bankers, lawyers, stockbrokers or independent financial advisers for a better understanding of the risks. 14

The Manager will not make any further acquisitions to which the relevant limit is breached and the Manager should within a reasonable period of not more than sixty (60) days from the date of the breach take all necessary steps and actions to rectify the breach. xiv) Valuation of Permitted Investment The valuation bases for the permitted investments of the Fund are as follows: Investments such as placement and Fixed Deposits placed with financial institutions shall be valued each day by reference to the principal value of such investments and income accrued thereon for the relevant period; and CPs, treasury bills, bankers acceptance, Bank Negara Malaysia bills, Bank Negara Malaysia negotiable notes and Short Term debentures shall be valued daily based on accretion to maturity value of the securities.

19 MIMECXI xvii) Trustee PB Trustee Services Berhad (7968-T). xviii) Trustee Fee The Trustee is entitled to a fee of 0.05% per annum of the NAV of the Funds, subject to a minimum fee of RM 18,000 per annum. xix) Deed Deed dated 3 October 2007, that will include any other supplemental deed as may be executed between the Manager and the Trustee from time to time. xx) Specific Risk a) Interest Rate Risk Interest rate fluctuations do affect the deposit returns of the Fund. Interest rates offered by the financial institutions will fluctuate according to the overnight policy rate determined by Bank Negara Malaysia and this has direct correlation with the Fund s investment in Fixed Deposit. The Fund s investment in Fixed Deposits will benefit from higher interest rate and in the event that the interest rate is low the Fund s returns will also be low. Changes in the level of interest will cause prices of money market instruments to change inversely. This risk can largely be eliminated by holding the instruments until maturity, thereby locking in price and yields. b) Credit / Default Risk This risk occurs when the issuer of the investments of the Fund, for example, when a financial institution defaults on its agreement, i.e. unable to service any deposit interest/coupon payments or pay the principal amount upon maturity. In such cases, Investors may suffer significant capital losses with regards to their capital invested and interest foregone. c) Deposit Account Risk When the Fund invests into Fixed Deposits account, the interest/profits are safeguarded by the bank. However, the investments are not without risk. In the event that the bank becomes insolvent, the Fund might have difficulty in getting back the money. d) Liquidity Risk It is the risk on the ability of the Fund to honor requests for redemption or to pay back Unit Holders investments whereby it is subject to the Fund s holding of adequate liquid assets. This liquidity risk is alleviated by the Fund s primary investments in the Fixed Deposits. 18

20 MIMECXI Risk Management Strategies and Techniques Prudent strategies will be adopted in structuring the Fund s portfolio as the Manager will assess the investment prospects of the placements/instruments and securities to the underlying interest rate factors, market outlook and other prevailing factors. The Fund has very limited exposure to market risk by nature of its investments in placing 100% of the NAV of the Fund in Fixed Deposits and money market instruments. In the event some of the underlying investments of the Fund are not actively traded, Investors are warned that under such circumstances, they may face difficulties in redeeming their investments. It is important to note that events affecting the investments cannot always be foreseen. Therefore, it is not always possible to protect investments against all risks.

25 MIMECXII xx) Specific Risk a) Interest Rate Risk Interest rate fluctuations do affect the Fixed Deposit returns of the Fund.

In the event that the financial institutions become insolvent, the Fund might have difficulty in getting back the money. Liquidity Risk It is the risk on the ability of the Fund to honor requests for redemption or to pay back Unit Holders investments whereby it is subject to the Fund s holding of adequate liquid assets. This liquidity risk is alleviated by the Fund s primary investments in the Fixed Deposits. Risk Management Strategies and Techniques Prudent strategies will be adopted in structuring the Fund s portfolio as the Manager will assess the investment prospects of the placements/instruments and securities to the underlying interest rate factors, market outlook and other prevailing factors. The Fund has very limited exposure to market risk by nature of its investments in Fixed Deposits and money market instruments in addition to its other permitted investment of up to 15% of the Fund s NAV into Short Term bank guaranteed PDS with minimum credit rating of AA by RAM and/or its equivalent and PDS issued by private sector with AAA rated by RAM and/or its equivalent. 24
