1.0 Manager s Report Dear Unitholders, We are pleased to present the Manager s report of BIMB i Dividend Fund for the financial year ended 31 October 2017. 1.1 Fund Name/ Fund Type/ Fund Category/ Fund Investment Objective/ Fund Performance Benchmark/ Fund Distribution Policy Fund Name Fund Type Fund Category Fund Investment Objective BIMB i Dividend Fund Income and Growth Equity This Fund aims to primarily provide investors with a combination of steady and recurring income and capital growth in the medium to long term* through investments in Shariah-compliant dividend yielding equities, which historically offered solid performance and is generally less volatile when compared to the broader equity market. Note: Any material change to the investment objective of the Fund would require Unit Holders approval. Fund Performance Benchmark The Fund will be measured against an absolute return benchmark of 6% per annum. This is not a guaranteed return and it is only a measurement of the Fund s performance. The Fund may or may not achieve 6% per annum growth rate in any particular financial year but targets to achieve this growth rate through long term. Fund Distribution Policy The Manager will declare annual distributions (subject to the availability of income). * medium to long term in this context refers to three (3) years or more. 3

1.2 Performance for the Financial Year Ended 31 October 2017 1.2.1 Performance review for BIMB i Dividend Fund For the financial year under review, BIMB i Dividend Fund (the Fund) declared a net income distribution of 1.54 sen per unit, equivalent to a yield of 7.54% per annum. The selected performance benchmark for this Fund is an absolute return benchmark of 6.00% per annum. The Fund registered a return of 9.50% as compared to its Benchmark s return of 6.00%. For the financial year under review, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia EMAS Shariah Index registered a gain of 5.64% as foreign investors returned to Malaysia to increase their holdings in local equities. Our strategy has consistently remained to focus on investing in stocks with consistent track record of dividend distribution and potential capital growth over medium to long term. During the financial year ended 31 October 2017, the Fund was able to deliver higher than its historical dividend yield as better market conditions and stronger than expected GDP growth for Malaysia had help shore up local stocks share price performance in 2017. Hence, for the financial year under review, the Fund has met its objectives of providing investors with a steady annual income stream and capital growth through investments in dividend yielding equities that historically tends to offer good returns during equity market recovery periods. As at 31 October 2017, the fund had 97.40% exposure to equities and continues to be managed in line with its stated objective by investing in dividend yielding equities. For the year ended 31 October 2017, there were no significant changes to the state of affairs of the Fund and no circumstances that materially affect the interest of Unit Holders that have taken place up to the date of this Manager s Report. 4

1.3 Economic and Market Review Economy a) Global United States (US) Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 3.3% in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to 3.1% growth in the second quarter of 2017 and 1.2% in the first quarter of 2017. US inflation rate remains healthy at 2.0% in October 2017 while US unemployment rate continues to improve to 4.1% in October 2017 as compared to 4.6% in November 2016. Moving forward, the Fed intends to execute more potential rate hikes and quantitative tightening for the US in the near term. The Euro zone economy grew by 0.6% in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to 0.7% in the second quarter 2017 and 0.6% in the first quarter of 2017. The Euro zone economic recovery has gained momentum while unemployment has fallen against a backdrop of ultra-low interest rates which are among the measures implemented by the European Central Bank (ECB) to boost economic activity. The Chinese economy grew by 6.8% for the third quarter of 2017, as compared to 6.9% in the second quarter of 2017 following improved industrial output and private consumption, aided by a robust property market and recovery in the exports sector. Overall, major global economies appear to be recovering in tandem while market sentiment for the emerging markets improved during the period under review. (Source: Bloomberg, CIMB Research and RHB Research Institute Sdn Bhd) b) Local The Malaysian economy grew faster at 6.2% in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to 5.8% in the second quarter 2017 and 5.6% in the first quarter 2017. The stronger GDP growth for the period was due to improvements in private consumption and exports. Malaysia s inflation on the other hand rose to 3.7% in October 2017, up from 1.8% in November 2016 driven by higher oil prices and stronger GDP performance. Despite the higher inflationary pressure faced by the local economy, Bank Negara Malaysia s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) had decided to maintain the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 3.00% during its September meeting to accommodate and support growth prospect for the country. Bank Negara s international reserve rose to USD 101.5 billion as at 31 October 2017 as compared to USD 96.4 billion in November 2016 that is sufficient to finance 7.6 months of retained imports and is 1.1 times the short-term external debt.

Market Review Equity FTSE Bursa Malaysia EMAS Shariah Index ( FBM Shariah ) commenced the year under review at 12,384.01 points and declined to 11,845.46 points on 30 November 2016. The FBM Shariah subsequently rose to 13,126.04 on 16 May 2017 and closed at 13,082.72 points on 31 October 2017. For the year under review, the FBM Shariah was up 698.71 points or 5.64% while the FBM KLCI was up by 75.46 points or 4.51% to close at 1,747.92 points. Among the key factors that contributed to the movement of the index are highlighted below: In November 2016, Donald Trump s victory in the U.S. presidential election caught the general markets off-guard as investors flock to safe heaven assets like gold, bond and the Japanese yen, perceiving Trump s administration would bring uncertainty to the markets. The Asian markets reacted with a sharp selldown, however subsequently, global investors rebalanced their portfolio to take advantage of the perceived stronger US growth and higher US bond yields. In April 2017, a historic meeting between US President Donald Trump and China s leader Xi Jinping signaled more understanding between the two countries after a summit held in Florida, USA and appears to have successfully defused a potential trade war between the world s two largest economies. A stabilizing US-China trade relationship will allow the US Federal Reserve to conduct its third rate hike of the year by 25bps to 1.50% on the back of stronger economic fundamentals in the US. In August 2017, the North Korea and US dispute escalated to new heights post of North Korea s missile testing exercise that had prompted US President Trump to issue a retaliation warning. However, markets were quick to discount the negative news and sentiment recovered subsequently as the US Federal Reserve announced of its quantitative tightening measures. The Fed intends to retire USD3.6 trillion or 50% of its Quantitative easing money in the market in three years time along with more rate hikes in the short to medium term horizon.

1.4 Market Outlook and Strategy For the rest of 2017, the equity market is expected to be volatile. External factors may likely influence the domestic market sentiment, which includes the OPEC and Non-OPEC commitment to stabilize the oil glut, US President Trump s stance on North Korea s nuclear ambition and potential military strike. With potential interest on selective sector to support the domestic market, the local bourse should be able to withstand external shocks given the ample domestic liquidity and buying interest from foreign and local institutional investors. While the global economy continues to expand at a moderate pace, there has been increasing divergence in the growth momentum among the major economies. For most of Asia, growth is supported by the continued expansion of domestic demand. Looking ahead, the global economy is expected to continue on a moderate recovery path. For Malaysia, the resilience of domestic consumption remains the support for growth. With higher spending on infrastructure projects underway, higher public sector wages adjustments, improved outlook for crude palm oil production volume and a rebound in government consumption and expenditure will help to improve corporate earnings and consumer spending for the year. 9

1.3 Ekonomi dan Kajian Pasaran Ekonomi a) Global Keluaran Dalam Negara Kasar (KDNK) Amerika Syarikat (AS) berkembang sebanyak 3.3% pada suku ketiga 2017 berbanding pertumbuhan 3.1% pada suku kedua 2017 dan 1.2% pada suku pertama 2017. Kadar inflasi AS kekal sihat iaitu sekitar 2.0% pada Oktober 2017 sementara kadar pengangguran AS terus menurun kepada 4.1% pada Oktober 2017 daripada 4.6% pada November 2016. Bergerak kehadapan, pihak Rizab Persekutuan AS bercadang untuk menaikan kadar faedah dan pengetatan kuantitatif di AS dalam tempoh terdekat. Ekonomi zon Euro berkembang sebanyak 0.6% pada suku ketiga 2017 berbanding 0.7% pada suku kedua 2017 dan 0.6% pada suku pertama 2017. Pemulihan ekonomi zon Euro menyaksikan berlakunya peningkatan momentum dengan kadar pengangguran telah menurun di sebalik kejatuhan kadar faedah yang teramat rendah, iaitu di antara langkah-langkah yang telah dilaksanakan oleh Bank Pusat Eropah (ECB) untuk meningkatkan aktiviti ekonomi. Ekonomi China berkembang sebanyak 6.8% pada suku ketiga 2017 berbanding 6.9% pada suku pertama 2017 berikutan peningkatan dalam pengeluaran perindustrian dan penggunaan swasta yang dibantu oleh pasaran hartanah yang kukuh dan pemulihan sektor eksport. Secara keseluruhan, ekonomi utama dunia kelihatan semakin pulih dengan kadar yang sejajar, dan sentimen untuk prestasi pasaran saham untuk pasaran-pasaran baru telah meningkat pada tempoh dalam kajian.

b) Dalam Negara Ekonomi Malaysia berkembang lebih pantas sebanyak 6.2% pada suku ketiga 2017 berbanding 5.8% pada suku kedua 2017 dan 5.6% pada suku pertama 2017. KDNK yang lebih kukuh dalam tempoh berkenaan adalah hasil peningkatan dalam penggunaan swasta dan eksport. Kadar inflasi Malaysia pada Oktobar 2017 meningkat kepada 3.7% daripada 1.8% pada November 2016, didorong oleh kenaikan harga minyak dan prestasi pertumbuhan KDNK yang lebih kukuh. Meskipun terdapat tekanan inflasi yang lebih tinggi yang dihadapi oleh ekonomi tempatan, Jawatankuasa Dasar Monetari Bank Negara Malaysia (MPC) mengekalkan Kadar Dasar Semalaman (OPR) pada paras 3.00% dalam mesyuaratnya yang diadakan pada September bagi menampung dan menyokong prospek pertumbuhan negara. Rizab antarabangsa Bank Negara meningkat kepada AS$101.5 bilion setakat pada 31 Oktober 2017 berbanding AS$96.4 bilion pada November 2016 yang memadai untuk membiayai 7.6 bulan import tertangguh dan mewakili 1.1 kali hutang jangka pendek luar negara. (Sumber: Bank Negara Malaysia, Bloomberg, CIMB Research dan RHB Research Institute Sdn Bhd) Kajian Pasaran Ekuiti Indeks Syariah EMAS FTSE Bursa Malaysia (Syariah FBM) memasuki tempoh dalam kajian pada paras 12,384.01 mata dan jatuh ke paras terendah 11,845.46 mata pada 30 November 2016. Indeks Syariah FBM kemudianya naik mencecah ke paras tertinggi 13,126.04 mata pada 16 Mei 2017 dan ditutup pada paras 13,082.72 mata pada 31 Oktober 2017. Bagi tahun dalam kajian, FBM Syariah meningkat sebanyak 698.71 mata atau 5.64% manakala FBM KLCI naik sebanyak 75.46 mata atau 4.51% untuk ditutup pada paras 1,747.92 mata. Antara faktorfaktor utama yang menyumbang kepada pergerakan indeks adalah seperti berikut: Pada November 2016, kemenangan Donald Trump dalam pilihan raya Presiden AS adalah di luar jangkaan dan mengejutkan pasaran amnya apabila para pelabur berpusu-pusu mencari aset pelaburan yang selamat seperti emas, bon dan yen Jepun kerana mempercayai bahawa pentadbiran Trump akan menyebabkan berlakunya ketidaktentuan dalam pasaran. Pasaran Asia pula mengalami kegiatan jualan secara besar-besaran sebelum para pelabur sejagat kemudiannya mengimbangi semula portfolio mereka untuk mengambil faedah daripada pertumbuhan lebih kukuh dalam ekonomi AS dan kadar hasil bon AS yang lebih tinggi. 18

Pada April 2017, pertemuan bersejarah antara Presiden AS Donald Trump dan pemimpin China, Xi Jinping telah menunjukkan persefahaman yang lebih di antara kedua-dua negara itu selepas sidang kemuncak diadakan di Florida, AS yang mungkin dapat melenyapkan potensi berlakunya perang perdagangan antara dua kuasa ekonomi terbesar dunia. Hubungan perdagangan AS-China yang stabil juga telah membolehkan Rizab Persekutuan AS menaikkan kadar faedah ketiga pada tahun ini sebanyak 25bps kepada 1.50% berasaskan fundamental ekonomi yang lebih kukuh dalam ekonomi AS. Pada Ogos 2017, pertikaian antara Korea Utara dengan AS semakin memuncak selepas Korea Utara melakukan ujian peluru berpandu sehingga Presiden Trump mengeluarkan amaran untuk bertindak balas. Walau bagaimanapun, pasaran bertindak cepat untuk tidak mengendahkan berita buruk tersebut dan sentimen kemudiannya pulih berikutan pengumuman Rizab Persekutuan Amerika Syarikat akan memulakan langkah pengetatan kuantitatifnya. Rizab Persekutuan Amerika Syarikat bercadang untuk menghentikan program kelonggaran kuantitatif sebanyak AS$3.6 trilion atau 50% daripada wangnya dalam pasaran bagi tempoh tiga tahun akan datang selain melakukan lebih banyak kenaikan kadar faedah dalam jangka masa pendek ke sederhana. (Sumber: Bloomberg, CIMB Research dan RHB Research Institute Sdn Bhd) 1.4 Tinjauan Pasaran dan Strategi Untuk baki tahun 2017, pasaran ekuiti dijangka akan terus berada dalam keadaan tidak menentu. Faktor luaran berkemungkinan mempengaruhi sentimen pasaran domestik termasuklah komitmen negara-negara anggota OPEC dan bukan OPEC untuk menstabilkan pasaran minyak yang mengalami lebihan pengeluaran, pendirian Presiden Trump terhadap cita-cita nuklear Korea Utara dan kemungkinan tindakan ketenteraan. Dengan potensi minat terhadap sektor terpilih untuk menyokong pasaran domestik, bursa tempatan seharusnya berupaya menahan kejutan luaran memandangkan terdapat mudah tunai yang mencukupi dalam negara dan minat belian daripada para pelabur institusi asing dan tempatan. Ketika ekonomi global terus berkembang pada kadar yang sederhana, pencapahan didapati meningkat dalam momentum pertumbuhan dikalangan kuasa-kuasa ekonomi yang utama. Bagi sebahagian besar negara Asia, pertumbuhan ekonomi disokong oleh pengembangan permintaan domestik yang berterusan. Melangkah ke hadapan, ekonomi global dijangka akan terus berada pada landasan pemulihan yang sederhana. 19

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Fund as at 31 October 2017, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and Securities Commission s Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds in Malaysia. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Independence and Other Ethical Responsibilities We are independent of the Fund in accordance with the By-Laws (on Professional Ethics, Conduct and Practice) of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants ( By- Laws ) and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants ( IESBA Code ), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the By-Laws and the IESBA Code. 27

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors Report Thereon The Manager of the Fund is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements of the Fund and our auditors report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements of the Fund does not cover the annual report and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements of the Fund, our responsibility is to read the annual report and, in doing so, consider whether annual report is materially inconsistent with the financial statements of the Fund or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of the annual report, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Manager and Trustee for the Financial Statements The Manager of the Fund is responsible for the preparation of financial statements of the Fund that give a true and fair view in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and Securities Commission s Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds in Malaysia. The Manager is also responsible for such internal control as the Manager determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements of the Fund that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements of the Fund, the Manager is responsible for assessing the ability of the Fund to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Manager either intend to liquidate the Fund or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. The Trustee is responsible for ensuring that the Manager maintains proper accounting and other records as necessary to enable true and fair presentations of these financial statements. 28

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements of the Fund as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit conducted in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements of the Fund, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund s internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Manager. Conclude on the appropriateness of the Manager s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Fund to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors report to the related disclosures in the financial statements of the Fund or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Fund to cease to continue as a going concern. 29

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (continued) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements of the Fund, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements of the Fund represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that gives a true and fair view. We communicate with the Manager regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. Other matter This report is made solely to the unitholders of the Fund, as a body, in accordance with Securities Commission s Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds in Malaysia and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility to any other person for the content of this report.
