4 FUND PERFORMANCE For The Financial Period From 1 October 2016 To 30 June 2017 Market Review Yields were on a steady uptrend during the review period as investors assessed the possibility of sequential hikes in the federal funds rate while wide swing in oil prices added to the uncertainty. Long-term yields were on a steady uptrend amid strong US data releases and concerns about the longevity of central bank accommodation. Trump s surprise victory in the US presidential election and a Republican sweep of the White House and Congress fuelled a global bond sell-off in late fourth quarter of Optimism over the strengthening global economy and potential pro-growth effects from President Trump s fiscal stimulus plans continued to drive markets in the first quarter of Thereafter, yields consolidated lower on further paring of optimism that President Trump s policies will filter down the US economy anytime soon following a failure to pass the healthcare legislation in March. Against the backdrop of strengthening growth and rising inflation, the Federal Reserve (Fed) raised its federal funds rate by 25 basis points in December and another cumulative 50 basis points in March and June this year. Additionally, the Fed laid out additional details of the balance sheet reduction plan which is expected to take place later part of the year. The rate hikes during the review period has worked to keep the yield curve adjusting higher with the 2-year increasing by 62 basis points to 1.38% while the 10-year increased by 71 basis points to 2.30%. The local bond market suffered heavy losses alongside the global bond rout and the Ringgit weakening to 4.46 levels against the Dollar in early November. Foreign led selling was seen across the MGS curve with yields surging as much as 100 basis points at the peak of the sell-off. The post US election surge in bond yields was primarily driven by concerns of fiscal led inflation and expectations of a continuation of the Fed s rate hiking cycle to begin in December. Thereafter, yields consolidated lower from the peak in the fourth quarter of 2016 but remained higher for the financial year as investors stayed cautious following higher price inflation and expectations of higher interest rates in the US. After five consecutive months of foreign outflows, the bond market witnessed its first inflow in April following a stronger Ringgit amid the central bank s continued efforts to enhance onshore foreign exchange hedging. Meanwhile, Bank Negara maintained a stable monetary policy with overnight policy rate unchanged at 3.00% on steady growth trajectory. In the 2016 annual report, Bank Negara expects a sustained growth of % on the back of higher inflation target of 3-4%. Over the review period, the 3-year MGS increased by 55 basis points to 3.39% while the 10-year yields increased by a lesser quantum of 36 basis points to 3.91%. Fund Review As at 30 June 2017, total net asset value (NAV) of the Pacific Islamic Cash Fund stood at RM114,293,365 while NAV per unit increased to RM (net of distribution) from its initial offer price of RM The Fund has consistently declared steady income distribution since inception.

During the review period (1 October 2016 to 30 June 2017), the Fund outperformed its benchmark by 136 basis points returning 2.67% while the benchmark returned 1.31%. Outperformance was due to active allocation of deposit placements as the Fund sought yields via longer tenured cash placements to mitigate reinvestment risks and to enhance the overall portfolio yield. 3
