RATING 3- Year 5-Year Lipper Total Return 2 3 Lipper Consistent Return 2 3 Lipper Preservation Return 3 4 REVIEW Market Review For the month, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (FBM KLCI) closed marginally lower at 1,653 points. The broader market outperformed as the FTSE Bursa Malaysia EMAS Index (FBM EMAS) rose by 0.5% to close at 11,585 points while SmallCaps were the outperformers for July with the FTSE Bursa Malaysia SmallCap Index (FBM SmallCap Index) rising 1.6% to 15,332 points. Among regional bourses, FBM KLCI was the second worst performer after the Shenzhen Stock Exchange Composite Index (SSE Composite Index)while Australia and Japan are outperformers. The Malaysian market was a laggard due to a pullback in crude oil price. For the month, the price of Brent crude oil declined 13% to United States Dollar (USD) 43 per barrel. Foreign investor sentiment on Malaysia was also dampened by the United States (US) Department of Justice announcement to recover more than USD1 billion in assets misappropriated from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). Markets were relatively positive in July post the June volatility on expectations of more fiscal stimulus in Japan and a lower likelihood of an interest rate hike by the United States Federal Reserve (FED)in 2016. On the local corporate front, newsflow from the Pan Borneo Highway took centre stage - a joint venture between Bina Puri Holdings Berhad and Cahya Mata Sarawak Berhad were awarded a RM1.36 billion contract for the highway while another joint venture between KKB Engineering Berhad and WCT Holdings Berhad clinched a RM1.29 billion contract for Phase 1 works on the Sarawak stretch of the proposed highway. Meanwhile, loss-making TH Heavy Engineering Berhad received a letter of intent from the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency to supply three offshore patrol boats. The domestic bond market got a boost when Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) surprised markets by cutting its key interest rate by 25 basis points to 3.0%, its first cut in seven years citing uncertainties in the global environment could weigh on the country s growth prospects. The central bank is not expected to change its key interest rate over the next few meetings. Manager s Comments The fund outperformed the benchmark mainly due to stock selection. The fund s top performing holdings were Felda Global Venture Holdings Berhad, DKSH Holdings (Malaysia) Berhad, and Unisem (Malaysia) Berhad. Post British Exit (BREXIT), markets have generally moved up in anticipation of policy action. We are wary of the sustainability of the market strength in the short term as we believe that the negative implications from BREXIT have not been fully priced into the market. In the near term, sentiment on the local bourse could also be weighed down by weak oil prices. The fund would continue to employ a stock picking strategy to generate outperformance. The focus would be on undervalued companies to ride on selected investment themes including companies that provide good and services that have relatively resilient demand, beneficiaries of higher construction spending, and companies that offer attractive dividend yield. Investors are advised to read and understand the contents of the Master Prospectus for Conventional Funds dated 17 September 2015, and the Product Highlight Sheet (PHS) before investing. The Prospectus has been registered and lodged with the Securities Commission Malaysia. Among others, investor should consider the fees and c harges involved.

Fund Review as at 31 July 2016 B-SGD (RETAIL) The fund's objective is to provide investors with capital growth through investments into securities that are trading at a discount to their intrinsic values, while minimising the risk in the *medium to **long-term. The fund is suitable for investors who are willing to accept risk for returns presented by the equity and bond markets, want to capitalise on the value investment approach when investing in equity and bond markets and have a **long term investment horizon. RATING 3- Year Lipper Total Return 1 Lipper Consistent Return 1 Lipper Preservation Return 3 REVIEW Market Review For the month, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (FBM KLCI) closed marginally lower at 1,653 points. The broader market outperformed as the FTSE Bursa Malaysia EMAS Index (FBM EMAS) rose by 0.5% to close at 11,585 points while SmallCaps were the outperformers for July with the FTSE Bursa Malaysia SmallCap Index (FBM SmallCap Index) rising 1.6% to 15,332 points. Among regional bourses, FBM KLCI was the second worst performer after the Shenzhen Stock Exchange Composite Index (SSE Composite Index)while Australia and Japan are outperformers. The Malaysian market was a laggard due to a pullback in crude oil price. For the month, the price of Brent crude oil declined 13% to United States Dollar (USD) 43 per barrel. Foreign investor sentiment on Malaysia was also dampened by the United States (US) Department of Justice announcement to recover more than USD1 billion in assets misappropriated from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). Markets were relatively positive in July post the June volatility on expectations of more fiscal stimulus in Japan and a lower likelihood of an interest rate hike by the United States Federal Reserve (FED)in 2016. On the local corporate front, newsflow from the Pan Borneo Highway took centre stage - a joint venture between Bina Puri Holdings Berhad and Cahya Mata Sarawak Berhad were awarded a RM1.36 billion contract for the highway while another joint venture between KKB Engineering Berhad and WCT Holdings Berhad clinched a RM1.29 billion contract for Phase 1 works on the Sarawak stretch of the proposed highway. Meanwhile, loss-making TH Heavy Engineering Berhad received a letter of intent from the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency to supply three offshore patrol boats. The domestic bond market got a boost when Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) surprised markets by cutting its key interest rate by 25 basis points to 3.0%, its first cut in seven years citing uncertainties in the global environment could weigh on the country s growth prospects. The central bank is not expected to change its key interest rate over the next few meetings. Manager s Comments The fund outperformed the benchmark mainly due to stock selection. The fund s top performing holdings were Felda Global Venture Holdings Berhad, DKSH Holdings (Malaysia) Berhad, and Unisem (Malaysia) Berhad. Post British Exit (BREXIT), markets have generally moved up in anticipation of policy action. We are wary of the sustainability of the market strength in the short term as we believe that the negative implications from BREXIT have not been fully priced into the market. In the near term, sentiment on the local bourse could also be weighed down by weak oil prices. The fund would continue to employ a stock picking strategy to generate outperformance. The focus would be on undervalued companies to ride on selected investment themes including companies that provide good and services that have relatively resilient demand, beneficiaries of higher construction spending, and companies that offer attractive dividend yield.
