Name of Fund RHB Bond Fund


Category of Fund Bond
Type of Fund Income
Investor Risk Profile Conservative
Fund Objective
To provide investors with higher than average income returns compared to fixed
deposits over the medium to long term through investments in bonds and other fixed
income securities with minimum risk to capital invested.
Note : Any material changes to the objective of the Fund require the Unit Holders approval.
Investor Profile
Suitable for investors who:-
are risk averse;
want to protect the purchasing power of their wealth against inflation;
want to enjoy a relatively more predictable income on a yearly basis;
want to diversify their overall investment portfolio by including bonds as an asset
class.
Asset Allocation
Up to 95% of the Funds NAV will be invested in fixed income securities
Minimum of 5% of the Funds NAV will be invested in liquid assets
Investment Strategy And Policy
The Fund will invest in quality fixed income securities which carry a minimum long
term credit rating of BBB and above assigned by RAM or its equivalent. To contain
credit risk, the Manager will ensure that the diversification of credit rating (and
duration standing) in the bond portfolio mitigate the overall risk position of the
portfolio.
The Manager may also take temporary defensive measures that may be inconsistent
with the Funds principal strategy in attempting to respond to adverse market
conditions, economics, political or any other conditions which the Manager deem
detrimental to the Fund. The defensive measures that the Manager may undertake are
in no way to be deviated from the mandates or breaching any laws and regulations.
The Funds strategies in yield enhancement for the portfolio will also be balanced
with other investment needs of the Fund, such as liquidity and risk management. On
liquidity management, the Fund will maintain sufficient amount of portfolio in liquid
bond to accommodate redemption. As for risk management, the portfolio duration is
kept at optimal level where yield enhancement can be optimised on risk adjusted
-29-

basis, and at the same time, balanced with the need for containing portfolios
volatility.
Hence, during the temporary defensive period, the Manager may choose to increase
the asset allocation by allocating more investment into risk free investments which
are money market instruments and deposit in adverse market condition.

by the External Investment Manager. The SC will be duly notified of the foreign
markets in which the Fund will invest in. There is no target industry or sector. On top
of that, the Fund has the option to invest in stocks whether or not listed on the stock

rigorous research process that enables it to identify companies that generate superior
cash flows as well as companies that are undervalued.
As mentioned above, fundamental and valuation analysis (bottom-up) forms an
integral part of the External Investment Managers research effort. Key elements of
this include:
Fundamental Evaluation - This includes the evaluation of company management,
products and services, competitive positioning, operating outlook, earnings
prospects, risk factors and corporate governance standards.
Valuation Analysis - We use the following approach to differing degrees
depending on the depth of coverage of the respective company:-
Valuation Models - We use variations of the discounted cash flow model
depending on the relevance of the model to the various industries. This
includes the Dividend Discount Model, the Gordon Growth Model and/or the
Discounted Free Cash Flow Model.
Comparative Multiples (P/Es, P/Bs, P/CF, P/NAV and Dividend Yield) and a
wide range of profitability measures (Operating Margin, ROE, ROIC vs. Cost
of Capital) are also used in our evaluation of the value of the company.
Financial Analysis As far as practical, we develop financial models to help
assess the businesses we are invested in. As part of this, estimates of
revenue, margins and earnings and cash flow, together with an assessment of
capital structure is required.
In addition, company visits, meetings with management and participation in
conference calls are important to the External Investment Managers research effort.
In the stock screening process, the External Investment Manager actively screens a
reasonable number of equity securities from a larger universe.

Investment Objective Of The DWS Global Themes Equity Fund


The DWS Global Themes Equity Fund seek to provide long-term growth of capital
through a diversified international portfolio of marketable securities, primarily equity
securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, warrants and debt securities
convertible into common stocks.
Investment Focus And Approach Of The DWS Global Themes Equity Fund
The DWS Global Themes Equity Fund will generally invest in equity securities of
established companies listed on securities exchanges worldwide, but also may invest
in securities traded on any regulated market which operates regularly and is
recognised and open to the public. It may also invest in debt securities convertible
into common stocks, convertible and non-convertible preferred stock and fixed-
income securities of governments, government agencies, supranational agencies and
companies, when the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund Sub-Manager believes that
the potential for appreciation will equal or exceed that available from investments in
equity securities. Under certain circumstances, the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund
may also invest in zero coupon securities and, to the extent permitted by law and in
compliance with the DWS Global Themes Equity Funds investment restrictions,
securities of other collective investment schemes.
The DWS Global Themes Equity Fund may invest indirectly in securities of
European issuers through sponsored or unsponsored depository receipts. European
Depository Receipts (EDRs) represent interests in the equity securities of European
companies. EDRs in which the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund will invest are
transferable securities that are listed on a stock exchange or traded on a regulated
market which operates regularly and is recognised and open to the public. EDRs may
be issued in connection with either sponsored or unsponsored facilities. Unsponsored
facilities are created by a depository bank or trust company without the participation
of the private issuer. Sponsored facilities are created in the same manner as
unsponsored facilities except that they are established jointly by the depository bank
or trust company and the private issuer enters into a deposit agreement with the
depository bank.
The DWS Global Themes Equity Fund may invest indirectly in securities of
European issuers through sponsored or unsponsored Global Depository Receipts
(GDRs). GDRs are a financial instrument that private markets use to raise capital
denominated in U.S. Dollars or Euros. A bank certificate is issued in more than one

Qualified Portfolio Manager For The DWS Global Themes Equity Fund
Lead Portfolio Manager of DWS Global Themes Equity Fund
Oliver S. Kratz
Oliver Kratz began his career in the mid-1990s in the global equities team of Bankers
Trust Investment Management in New York, where he worked until it was acquired
by Deutsche Bank in 1999. Oliver became a portfolio manager for European Equities
and in 2002 the head of global emerging markets at DWS Scudder. In 2003, he
assumed the role of portfolio manager for Global Thematic Equities. Under Oliver's
leadership, the global thematic product more than quintupled its assets under
management by attracting a diverse, top-tier institutional client base.
In 2010, Oliver founded Global Thematic Partners, LLC, which takes the same
approach to global investing that has been cultivated and refined over the past 10
years. Over this period, he has assembled a team of analysts hailing from the US,
Europe, Japan, Latvia, and Pakistan, who are based in New York and continue to
support GTP's flagship Global Thematic Equity product.
Oliver spends most of his time evaluating investment ideas for the Global Thematic
Equity strategy via meetings with company management teams, think tanks,
academics, politicians, journalists, industry experts and other thought leaders around
the world.
Dr. Kratz received his PhD from the Fletcher School at Tufts University. Frankfurt-
born, studied in Frankfurt, Boston and Prague, he has published numerous articles on
global finance, as well as a book entitled Frontier Emerging Equity Markets
Securities Pricing Behavior and Valuation (Kluwer Academic Publishers).
Risks
Investment in collective investment schemes is intended to produce returns over the
medium to long term and is not suitable for short-term speculation. Investors should be
aware that the price and value of the units, and the income deriving or accruing from
them, may fall or rise, and that there is the possible loss of the original amount invested.
The Manager gives no assurance that the investment objective of the DWS Global
Themes Equity Fund (or, where relevant, any underlying fund) will be met.
Before investing in DWS Global Themes Equity Fund, investors should consider and
satisfy themselves as to the risks of investing in the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund.
The risks described below are not exhaustive and investors should be aware that the
DWS Global Themes Equity Fund might be exposed to other risks of an exceptional
nature from time to time.
The risks described below are not exhaustive and investors should be aware that the
DWS Global Themes Equity Fund and the underlying funds might be exposed to
other risks of an exceptional nature from time to time.
Investment in securities is subject to general market, political and economic
conditions and the value of securities fluctuate in response to the activities and
performance results of the companies invested into.
-56-

Under certain market conditions, it may be difficult or impossible to liquidate or


rebalance positions. For example, this may occur during volatile markets or crisis
situations or where trading under the rules of the relevant stock exchange is
suspended, restricted or otherwise impaired. During such times, the DWS Global
Themes Equity Fund may be unable to dispose of certain assets due to thin
trading or lack of a market or buyers. Placing a stop-loss order may not
necessarily limit the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund's losses to intended
amounts as market conditions may make it impossible to execute such an order at
the ideal price. In addition, such circumstances may force the DWS Global
Themes Equity Fund to dispose of assets at reduced prices, thereby adversely
affecting the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund's performance. Further, such
investments may be difficult to value with any degree of accuracy or certainty.
The dumping of securities in the market could further deflate prices. If the DWS
Global Themes Equity Fund incurs substantial trading losses, the need for
liquidity could rise sharply at the same time that access to liquidity is impaired.
Further, in a market downturn, the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund's
counterparties' financial conditions could be weakened, thereby increasing the
DWS Global Themes Equity Fund's credit risk to them.
Securities in emerging markets and some Asia markets may be more volatile than
securities of developed markets. This volatility may stem from political,
economic, legal, trading liquidity, currency and interest rate factors. There may
also be the possibility of changes in government policies in some of these markets
that may affect the ability to repatriate capital, income and proceeds. The
securities may also be less liquid, which will affect the ability to acquire or
dispose of these securities at the desired price and time. The laws and regulatory
framework of these countries may be less stringent and the disclosure,
accounting, auditing and financial standards may differ significantly from
internationally recognised standards. As a result, information on the company's
accounts of such securities may not be an accurate reflection of its financial
position.
Unlisted securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risks as
these securities are less liquid than listed securities. Further, the issuers of such
securities may not be subject to the same disclosure and investor protection
measures that are applicable to listed securities. Investments in warrants may
involve higher risks than investments in ordinary shares. When DWS Global
Themes Equity Fund invests in warrants, the values of these warrants are likely to
fluctuate more than the prices of the underlying securities because of the greater
volatility of warrant prices.
The assets and income of the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund may be
denominated in a number of different currencies other than the SGD and will thus
be subject to fluctuations in currency exchange rates and in certain cases,
exchange control regulations. The DWS Global Themes Equity Fund Manager
may fully or partially hedge the assets of the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund
back to the SGD if they deem this appropriate for the DWS Global Themes
Equity Fund. In such event, the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund Manager make
forecasts of currency exchange rates under different scenarios based on their
analysis of fundamental, technical and valuation factors that influence currency
movements. These forecasts are compared with the costs of hedging non-SGD
currencies. Non-SGD currency exposures are usually hedged when the expected
impact of currency movements are, in the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund
Managers reasonable opinion, adverse and more than outweigh the cost of
-57-

hedging. For DWS Global Themes Equity Fund structured as feeder funds, the
DWS Global Themes Equity Fund Manager does not intend to hedge the
currency exposure of investing into the underlying fund.
The prices of units of the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund may be quoted in a
currency other than the base currency of the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund.
Changes in the exchange rate between the base currency and the quoted currency
may lead to a depreciation of the value of such units as expressed in the quoted
currency. The DWS Global Themes Equity Fund Manager may, but currently do
not intend, to hedge against such exchange rate risks. Where a class of units is
designated in a currency other than the base currency, the DWS Global Themes
Equity Fund Manager may or may not mitigate the exchange rate risk to the
extent of the Net Asset Value attributed to such class. Although the financial
instrument used to mitigate the risk is not in relation to the other classes of units
within the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund, the financial instrument will
comprise the assets (or liabilities) of the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund as a
whole. The gains (or losses) on and the costs of the relevant financial instruments
will however accrue solely to the relevant class of units of the DWS Global
Themes Equity Fund.
Unless otherwise specified, the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund Manager use
derivatives (which may include currency forwards, currency options, bond
futures, warrants, swaps and options) to a limited degree and only where the
relevant investment guidelines permit. The DWS Global Themes Equity Fund
Manager will ensure that the risk management and compliance procedures and
controls adopted are adequate and that they has the necessary expertise and
control systems for investments in derivatives.
The use of derivatives involves increased risk. The successful use of such
instruments depends on the ability to accurately predict movements in stock
prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates or other economic factors and the
availability of liquid markets. If the predictions are wrong, or if the derivatives do
not work as anticipated, it may result in greater losses than if derivatives had not
been used. If over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives are used, there is increased
risk that the counterparty may fail to honour its contract. Risks are also greater for
instruments not traded on a recognised market, which are afforded less protection
as may apply to participants trading futures or options on organised exchanges,
such as the performance guarantee of an exchange clearing house. The volatility
of these securities is not constant. For example, changes in volatility may impact
on the value of certain options, especially for out-of-the-money options.
Volatility also tends to be mean reverting. When volatility reaches a very high
level, the value of these securities are more likely to decline than to rise.
Conversely, when volatility reaches a very low level the value of these securities
are more likely to rise than to decline.
The value of bonds and fixed income instruments are subject to interest rate
fluctuations and credit risks, such as risk of default by issuers.
The DWS Global Themes Equity Fund may be subject to tax exposure on their
underlying investments, whether in Singapore or elsewhere. Any such tax
exposure will be borne by the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund and may impact
the value of the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund.

The insolvency of any counterparty, including a custodian, can adversely affect


the ability of such counterparty to meet its payment obligations to the DWS
Global Themes Equity Fund. The insolvency of a counterparty may lead to the
forced liquidation or closing of DWS Global Themes Equity Funds position held
with it and the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund may not recover the
investments already made.
Credit ratings of instruments invested into by DWS Global Themes Equity Fund
represent the rating agencies opinions regarding the credit quality of the
instruments or institution and are not a guarantee of quality. Rating agencies
rating methodology relies on historical data, which may not be predictive of
future trends and the agencies may also fail to make timely changes in credit
ratings in response to subsequent change of circumstances.
The DWS Global Themes Equity Fund Manager are entitled to rely, without
independent investigation, upon pricing information and valuations furnished to
the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund by third parties, including pricing services
and independent brokers/dealers. Their accuracy depends on these parties
methodology, due diligence and timely response to changing conditions. The
DWS Global Themes Equity Fund Manager cannot be held responsible for any
failures by such parties in their valuations.
The DWS Global Themes Equity Fund Manager may accept subscriptions from
institutional investors and such subscriptions may constitute a large portion of the
total investments in DWS Global Themes Equity Fund. Whilst these institutional
investors will not have any control over the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund
Managers investment decisions, the actions of such investors may have a
material effect on the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund. For example,
substantial realisations of units by an institutional investor over a short period of
time could necessitate the liquidation of DWS Global Themes Equity Fund's
assets at a time and in a manner which does not provide the most economic
advantage to DWS Global Themes Equity Fund and which could therefore
adversely affect the value of DWS Global Themes Equity Fund's assets.
Global Thematic Partners LLC may use financial derivative instruments for the
purpose of hedging the DWS Global Themes Equity Funds existing positions,
efficient portfolio management and/or meeting the investment objective of the
DWS Global Themes Equity Fund.
The use of financial derivative instruments may entail greater risks than direct
investment in the underlying assets. Risks associated with derivatives include:
(a) the risk that the derivative is not well correlated with the security, index or
currency for which it is acting as a substitute;
(b) the risk that derivatives used for risk management may not have the intended
effects and may result in losses or missed opportunities;
(c) the risk that the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund will be unable to sell the
derivative because of an illiquid secondary market;
(d) the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to meet its obligations;
(e) the risk of interest rate movements; and
(f) the risk that the derivatives transaction could expose the DWS Global Themes
Equity Fund to the effect of leverage, which could increase the DWS Global
Themes Equity Funds exposure to the market and magnify potential losses that it
could have if it had not entered into these transactions.
-59-

There is no guarantee that these derivatives activities will be employed or that


they will work, and their use could cause lower returns or even losses to the DWS
Global Themes Equity Fund.
Global Thematic Partners LLC will ensure that the exposure of the DWS Global
Themes Equity Fund to financial derivative instruments will not at any time
exceed 100% of the value of the deposited property of the DWS Global Themes
Equity Fund. Such exposure will be calculated by converting the derivative
positions into equivalent positions in the underlying assets embedded in those
derivatives.
Global Thematic Partners LLC has established limits for every approved broker
and derivatives counterparty (counterparties). The limits will vary according to
the credit standings (with minimum short term ratings: P1 (Moody) / A-
1(Standard & Poors) / F-1 (Fitch)) of the counterparties. Such limits are
monitored daily for outstanding exposure against established limits and any limit
breach will be escalated internally.
Global Thematic Partners LLC has also established internal exposure limits for
the Fund to various financial derivative instruments such as options and futures
contracts. Such product specific limits are closely monitored by the Global
Thematic Partners LLC's compliance department, which is independent from the
investment staff.
All transactions are subject to post-trade checks. There is also proper segregation
of duties between portfolio managers initiating the trades and derivative traders
who will execute the trades. The trade support team will verify that all
appropriate signoffs were obtained before processing the trade. Any incomplete
trade authorisation or incomplete trade information will be immediately
communicated to compliance for review and resolution.
Global Thematic Partners LLC will ensure that the risk management and
compliance procedures and controls adopted are adequate and that it has the
necessary expertise to control and manage the risks relating to the use of financial
derivative instruments. Global Thematic Partners LLC may modify the risk
management and compliance procedures and controls as it deem fit and in the
interests of the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund.

Investment Strategy And Policy

Absolute Return (SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return) launched on 16 October 1998
(Class A distribution shares). The SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return is a collective
investment scheme domiciled in Luxembourg investing in a portfolio of bonds and
other fixed and floating rate securities issued by governments, government agencies,
supra-national and corporate issuers in Asia excluding Japan.
Although the Fund is passively managed, the investments in the Fund will be
rebalanced from time to time to meet redemptions and to enable the proper and
efficient management of the Fund.
The Fund is a feeder fund that invests in the SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return. The
SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return seeks to capture and participate meaningfully in
broad market themes in Asia (ex Japan) fixed income markets and combine these
themes with security-specific credit ideas to achieve its aim of achieving positive
returns over the medium term. The SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return is actively
managed and seeks to add value to investors through diversified sources in a
benchmark unconstrained framework. The SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return uses a
mix of top-down macroeconomic analysis and bottom-up security selection in seeking
to add value in the three core areas of interest rates, currencies and credits. The risk
management strategies and techniques employed will be at the SISF Asian Bond
Absolute Return level through its global flexible approach and investment strategy
that involve a high degree of diversification between securities as well as
diversification across geographical markets. By investing across different Asian
-61-

countries in debt denominated in both major and regional currencies and selected
diversification outside of Asia (where permitted), the SISF Asian Bond Absolute
Return seeks to reduce overall portfolio volatility.
The Manager may take temporary defensive positions that may be inconsistent with
the Funds principal strategy in attempting to respond to adverse economic, political
or any other market conditions. In such circumstances, the Manager may reallocate up
to 100% of the Funds investments into other asset classes such as fixed income
securities, money market instruments, cash and deposits with licensed financial
institutions, which are defensive in nature. In addition, the Manager may take foreign
exchange hedge positions in order to mitigate currency exposure that may erode the
Funds returns.
Notwithstanding the above, the Manager may, in consultation with the Trustee,
replace the SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return with another collective investment
scheme with a similar objective if, in the Managers opinion, the SISF Asian Bond
Absolute Return no longer meets the Funds investment objective, or when acting in
the interest of the Unit Holders. However, Unit Holders approval must be obtained.

Performance Benchmark
Citigroup Treasury/Agency Index (Total Return).
Unit Holders can obtain information on the Citigroup Treasury/Agency Index (Total
Return) from Bloomberg.
Risk Management Strategies
The Manager adopts the following forms of risk management strategies to mitigate
the risk inherent in the Fund:-
The investment shall be monitored daily with regards to the investments position
in relation to sector exposure, investment restrictions, etc. As some of the risks
involved are inherent and may not be within the direct control of the Manager, it
may not be possible to completely hedge all risks. The Manager shall however then
take prudent and reasonable steps to anticipate foreseeable risks and to minimise
potential loss to Unit Holders.
The Manager may exercise economic acumen by utilizing a network of research
and information providers to provide foresight on international and local
developments, which can impact investments. Such information will give the
Manager lead-time to re-align the investment, if required.
Temporary Defensive Measures
These can be undertaken upon consultation with the Investment Committee and
may include holding a high level of cash over investments in the SISF Asian
Bond Absolute Return. The Manager also reserves the right to seek an alternative
investment manager and/or other collective investment scheme if the SISF Asian
Bond Absolute Return is inconsistent with the objective of the Fund, with
approval of the SC.

certain stock or bond index which is recognised by the Luxembourg

permitted for a single issuer.

with the principle of risk spreading in transferable securities or money
market instruments issued or guaranteed by an EU member state, by its local
authorities or by an Eligible State or by public international bodies of which
one or more EU member states are members, SISF may invest 100% of the
net asset value of the SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return in such securities

debt securities or of the money market instruments or the net amount of
securities in issue cannot be calculated.
The limits set out in sub-paragraph (D)(i) and (ii) above shall not apply to:
(i) Transferable securities and money market instruments issued or guaranteed
by an EU member state or its local authorities;
(ii) Transferable securities and money market instruments issued or guaranteed
by any other Eligible State;

international bodies of which one or more EU member states are members;
or
(iv) Shares held in the capital of a company incorporated in a non-EU member
state which invests its assets mainly in the securities of issuing bodies having
their registered office in that state where, under the legislation of that state,
such holding represents the only way in which the SISF Asian Bond
Absolute Returns assets may invest in the securities of the issuing bodies of
that state, provided, however, that such company in its investment policy
complies with the limits laid down in Articles 43, 46 and 48 (1) and (2) of

UCIs.
In respect of the SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return's investments in UCITS
and other UCIs linked to SISF as described in the preceding paragraph, there
shall be no management fee charged to that portion of the assets of the SISF
Asian Bond Absolute Return. SISF will indicate in its annual report the total
management fees charged both to the SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return and
to the UCITS and other UCIs in which SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return
has invested during the relevant period.
(ii) SISF may acquire no more than 25% of the units of the same UCITS and/or

make investments into commodities. In addition, SISF will not enter into financial

its total net assets. In addition, this overall risk exposure may not be increased by more than
10% by means of temporary borrowings (as referred to in section 2(E) above) so that it may
not exceed 210% of the SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return's total net assets under any
circumstances.
-70-

The global exposure relating to derivative instruments is calculated taking into account the
current value of the underlying assets, the counterparty risk, foreseeable market movements
and the time available to liquidate the positions. This shall also apply to the following
subparagraphs.
The SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return may invest in financial derivative instruments, as a
part of its investment policy and within the limits laid down in section (A)(vi) and restriction
(C)(v), in financial derivative instruments provided that the exposure to the underlying assets
does not exceed in aggregate the investment limits laid down in restrictions (C)(i) to (vii).
When SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return in index-based financial derivative instruments
compliant with the provisions of restriction (C)(i) to (vii), these investments do not have to
be combined with the limits laid down in section (C). When a transferable security or money
market instrument embeds a derivative, the latter must be taken into account when complying
with the requirements of this restrictions. SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return may use
financial derivative instrument for investment purposes and for hedging purposes, within the
limits of the Law of 20 December 2002. Under no circumstances shall the use of these
instruments and techniques cause SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return to diverge from its
investment policy or objective. The risks against which SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return
could be hedged may be, for instance, market risk, foreign exchange risk, interest rates risk,
credit risk, volatility or inflation risks.
Unless specified in the SISF Asian Bond Absolute Returns investment objective, the global
exposure relating to financial derivative instruments will be calculated using a commitment
approach. Funds applying a Value-at-Risk (VaR) approach to calculate their global exposure
will contain an indication thereto in Appendix III. VaR reports will be produced and
monitored on a daily basis based on the following criteria:
1 month holding period ;
99% unilateral confidence interval ;
at least a one year effective historical observation period (250 days) unless market
conditions require a shorter observation period; and
parameters used in the model are updated at least quarterly.
Stress testing will also be applied at a minimum of once per month.
Use Of Techniques And Instruments Relating To Transfer Of Securities And Money Market
Instruments
Techniques and instruments (including, but not limited to, securities lending or repurchase
agreements) relating to transferable securities and money market instruments may be used by
each Fund for the purpose of efficient portfolio management.
To the extent permitted by and within the limits prescribed by the Regulations and in
particular the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (Luxembourg Financial
Sector Supervisory Authority) Circular 08/356 relating to the use of financial techniques and
instruments, SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return may for the purpose of generating additional
capital or income or for reducing its costs or risks, enter as purchaser or seller into optional or
non-optional repurchase transactions and engage in securities lending transactions.
In respect of repurchase transactions, the SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return will obtain from
its counterparty collateral of a type and market value sufficient to satisfy the requirements of
the Regulations.
In respect of securities loans, SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return will ensure that its
-71-

counterparty delivers and each day maintains collateral of at least the market value of the
securities lent. Such collateral must be in the form of cash or securities that satisfy the
requirements of the Regulations.
A fund, within the limits provided for by the Regulations and in particular Commission de
Surveillance du Secteur Financier (Luxembourg Financial Sector Supervisory Authority)
Circular 08/356 referred to above, may reinvest the cash that it receives as collateral against a
repurchase transaction or a securities loan in (a) shares or units issued by money market
undertakings for collective investment calculating a daily net asset value and being assigned a
rating of AAA or its equivalent, (b) short-term bank deposits, (c) money market instruments
permitted by the Regulations, (d) short-term bonds issued or guaranteed by the governments,
local authorities or supranational institutions and undertakings of the United States, member
states of the EU, Australia, Canada, Finland, Japan, Norway, Sweden or Switzerland, (e)
bonds issued or guaranteed by first class issuers offering an adequate liquidity, and (f) reverse
repurchase agreement transactions, provided that such reverse repurchase transactions must
themselves be fully and continuously collateralized by securities issued or guaranteed by the
governments, local authorities or supranational institutions and undertakings of the United
States, the EU, Australia, Canada, Finland, Japan, Norway, Sweden or Switzerland. Such
reinvestment will be taken into account for the calculation of each concerned funds global
exposure if required.

Risk Of Investments
Detailed below are summary of the material investment risks applicable to each Fund
under SISF as set out in SISFs Prospectus. If you need more information, kindly visit
SISFs website at www.schroders.lu. The risks described below are not exhaustive
and investors should be aware that the SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return might be
exposed to other risks of an exceptional nature from time to time.
Currency
Where the currency of the relevant fund varies from the investors home
currency, or where the currency of the relevant fund varies from the currencies
of the markets in which the fund invests, there is the prospect of additional loss
(or the prospect of additional gain) to the investor greater than the usual risks of
investment.
Interest Rate
The values of bonds and other debt instruments usually rise and fall in response
to changes in interest rates. Declining interest rates generally increase the values
of existing debt instruments, and rising interest rates generally reduce the value
of existing debt instruments. Interest rate risk is generally greater for
investments with long durations or maturities. Some investments give the issuer
the option to call or redeem an investment before its maturity date. If an issuer
calls or redeems an investment during a time of declining interest rates, the fund
might have to reinvest the proceeds in an investment offering a lower yield, and
therefore might not benefit from any increase in value as a result of declining
interest rates.
-73-

Regulatory
SISF is domiciled in Luxembourg and investors should note that all the
regulatory protections provided by their local regulatory authorities may not
apply. Investors should consult their financial or other professional adviser for
further information in this area.
Suspension Of Share Dealings
Investors are reminded that in certain circumstances their right to redeem or
switch shares may be suspended.
Fund Investing In Smaller Companies
Funds which invest in smaller companies may fluctuate in value more than other
funds. Smaller companies may offer greater opportunities for capital
appreciation than larger companies, but may also involve certain special risk.
They are more likely than larger companies to have limited product lins, markets
or financial resources, or to depend on a a small, inexperienced management
group. Securities of smaller companies may, especially during periods where
markets are falling, become less liquid and experience short-term price volatility
and wide spreads between dealing prices. They may also trade in the OTC
market or on a regional exchange, or may otherwise have limited liquidity.
Consequently investment in smaller companies may be more vulnerable to
adverse developments than those in larger companies and the funds may have
more difficulty establishing or closing out its securities positions in smaller
companies at prevailing market prices. Also, there may be less publicly
available information about smaller companies or less market interest in the
securities, and it may take longer for the prices or the securities to reflect the full
value of the issuers earning potential or assets.
Funds Investing In Technology Related Companies
Investments in the technology sector may present a greater risk and a higher
volatility than investments in a broader range of securities covering different
economic sectors. The equity securities of the companies in which the funds
may invest are likely to be affected by world-wide scientific or technological
developments, and their products or services may rapidly fall into obsolescence.
In addition, some of these companies offer products or services that are subject
to governmental regulation and may, therefore, be adversely affected by
governmental policies. The investments made by the funds may thus drop
sharply in value in response to market, research or regulatory setbacks.
Funds Investing In Lower Rated, Higher Yielding Debt Securities
The Funds may invest in lower rated, higher yielding debt securities, which are
subject to greater market and credit risks than higher rated securities. Generally,
lower rated securities pay higher yields than more highly rated securities to
compensate investors for the higher risk. The lower ratings of such securities
reflect the greater possibility that adverse changes in the financial condition of
the issuer, or rising interest rates, may impair the ability of the issuer to make
payments to holders of the securities. Accordingly, an investment in these funds
is accompanied by a higher degree of credit risk than is present with investments
in higher rated, lower yielding securities.
Investment In The Securities Of Property and Real Estate Companies
The risks associated with investment in securities of companies principally
engaged in the real estate industry include: the cyclical nature of real estate
values, risks related to general and local economic conditions, overbuilding and
-74-

increased competition, increases in property taxes and operating expenses,


demographic trends and variations in rental income, changes in zoning laws,
casualty or condemnation losses, environmental risks, regulatory limitations on
rents, changes in neighbourhood values, related party risks, changes in the
appeal of properties to tenants, increases in interest rates and other real estate
capital market influences. Generally, increases in interest rates will increase the
costs of obtaining financing, which could directly and indirectly decrease the
value of the Funds investments.
The real estate market has, at certain times, not performed in the same manner as
equity and bond markets. As the real estate market frequently performs,
positively or negatively and without any correlation to the equity or bond
markets, these investments may affect the performance of the relevant funds
either in a positive or a negative manner.
Initial Public Offering
Certain funds may invest in initial public offerings, which frequently are smaller
companies. Such securities have no trading history, and information about such
companies may only be available for limited periods. The prices of securities
involved in initial public offerings may be subject to greater price volatility than
more established securities.
Emerging And Less Developed Markets Risks
Investing in emerging markers and less developed markets securities poses risks
different from, and/or greater than, risks of investing in the securities of
developed countries. These risks include; smaller market-capitalisation of
securities markets, which may suffer periods of relative illiquidity; significant
price volatility; restrictions on foreign investment; and possible repatriation of
investment income and capital. In addition, foreign Investors may be required to
register the proceeds of sales, and future economic or political crises could lead
to price controls, forced mergers, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, seizure,
nationalisation or the creation of government monopolies. Inflation and rapid
fluctuations in inflation rates have had, and may continue to have, negative
effects on the economies and securities markets of certain emerging and less
developed countries.
Although many of the emerging and less developed market securities in which a
fund may invest are traded on securities exchanges, they may trade in limited
volume and may encounter settlement systems that are less well organised than
those of developed markets. Supervisory authorities may also be unable to apply
standards that are comparable with those in developed markets. Thus there may
be risks that settlement may be delayed and that cash or securities belonging to
the relevant fund may be in jeopardy because of failures of or defects in the
systems or because of defects in the administrative operations of counterparties.
Such counterparties may lack the substance or financial resources of similar
counterparties in a developed market. There may also be a danger that
competing claims may arise in respect of securities held by or to be transferred
to the fund and compensation schemes may be non-existent or limited or
inadequate to meet the funds claims in any of these events.
In addition investments in certain emerging and less developed countries, such
as Russia and Ukraine, are currently subject to certain heightened risks with
regard to the ownership and custody of securities. In these countries,
shareholdings are evidenced by entries in the books of a company or its registrar
-75-

(which is neither an agent nor responsible to the Custodian). No certificates


representing shareholdings in companies will be held by the Custodian or any of
its local correspondents or in an effective central depository system. As a result
of this system and the lack of effective state regulation and enforcement, SISF
could lose its registration and ownership of the securities through fraud,
negligence or even mere oversight. Debt securities also have an increased
custodial risk associated with them as such securities may, in accordance with
market practice in the emerging or less developed countries, be held in custody
with institutions in those countries which may not have adequate insurance
coverage to cover loss due to theft, destruction or default. It should be taken into
consideration that when investing in government debt of emerging or less
developed countries, particularly Ukraine, whether via the primary or secondary
market, local regulations may stipulate that Investors maintain a cash account
directly with the sub-custodian. Such balance represents a debt due from the
sub-custodian to the Investors and the Custodian shall not be liable for this
balance.
Additional risks of emerging market securities may include: greater social,
economic and political uncertainty and instability; more substantial
governmental involvement in the economy; less governmental supervision and
regulation; unavailability of currency hedging techniques; companies that are
newly organised and small; differences in auditing and financial reporting
standards, which may result in unavailability of material information about
issuers; and less developed legal systems. In addition taxation of interest and
capital gains received by non-residents varies among emerging and less
developed markets and, in some cases may be comparatively high. There may
also be less well-defined tax laws and procedures and such laws may permit
retroactive taxation so that the fund could in the future become subject to local
tax liabilities that had not been anticipated in conducting investment activities or
valuing assets.

securities, money market instruments, cash and deposits with licensed financial
institutions, which are defensive in nature. Notwithstanding the above, the Manager
may, in consultation with the Trustee, replace the Underlying Fund with another

Kapitalanlagegesellschaft mbH (AllianzGI KAG), Frankfurt.
AllianzGI KAG was established in Frankfurt, Germany. It has been managing

Investment Objective Of The Underlying Fund
The Underlying Fund aims to provide:
Total return from dividend income, option premiums and capital appreciation;
Sustainable distributions; and
Typically lower portfolio volatility compared to an equity investment, by
investing in:
(a) A globally diversified portfolio of equities which offer attractive and
sustainable dividend yields; and
(b) Selling call options to generate option premiums which will enhance
dividends and reduce overall portfolio risk.
Investment Focus And Approach To The Underlying Fund
The Underlying Fund employs a distinctive two-part investment process:
(a) Global equities - The Underlying Fund will hold a diversified portfolio of global
equities. In the stock selection process, the Sub-Manager of the Underlying Fund
combines a proprietary rule-based stock selection model together with a
-79-

fundamental company analysis in an attempt to identify the most attractive


international investment opportunities. This research driven approach focuses on
seeking stocks that pay high dividend yields to generate current income from
dividends on such stocks. Equity exposure may also be constructed by the use of
derivative strategies (e.g. long futures, long call options).
(b) Selling of call options - The Underlying Fund will employ an integrated strategy
of selling covered call options on equities, baskets of equities or equity indices.
The option premiums received represent additional earnings, helping to enhance
the dividends payable to investors and to reduce overall portfolio risk.
The Underlying Fund aims to achieve returns based on dividends, option
premium income and share price gains.

- Sustainable distributions.
- Typically lower portfolio volatility compared to an equity investment due to
investing in a globally diversified portfolio of high yielding equities
coupled with a steady flow of option premium income
Call options will be sold for the shares held in the portfolio of the Underlying
Fund. The intention is to aim for a call option ratio of approximately 70-100% of
the portfolio on an annual basis.
In employing the Underlying Funds call option-selling strategy, the Sub-
Manager of the Underlying Fund will adopt the following:
(a) Systematic, multi-stage process for selecting attractive options.
-80-

(b) Valuations based, in particular, on technical indicators and fundamentals


(e.g. volatility).
(c) Typically tenure of call options will be between 1 to 12 months in order to be
able to react more flexibly to market conditions and to optimise the
generation of additional earnings.
(d) Options on equities, baskets of equities or equity indices may be used.
A call option gives the holder the right to buy a stock at a specific price (the strike
price) at a future point in time. A covered call option is a call option that is sold
on a stock that is held by the seller. If the call option is exercised, the seller of the
option is covered because he/she holds the stock (i.e. the liability on the call
option is fully offset).
The selling of call options is intended to help the Underlying Fund outperform a
direct investment in the underlying portfolio of stocks in all but strong rising
market scenarios. In exchange for its benefits of enhanced income and reduced
overall portfolio risk, the Underlying Fund gives up potential appreciation in the
value of its portfolio securities above the strike price. In a strong rising market,
this call option strategy will result in the Underlying Fund under performing its
benchmark albeit with positive returns.
There is no guarantee that the portfolio risk of the strategy is reduced.
There is no guarantee that the Underlying Fund will outperform in all but a strong
bull market.
The Underlying Fund may engage in securities lending subject to the provisions
of the CPF Investment Guidelines.
Investment Restrictions
The Underlying Fund may:
(a) Employ an integrated strategy of selling covered call options on the equities,
aiming for a call option ratio of approximately 70% to 100% of the portfolio
on an annual basis.
(b) In employing the selling of call options, the typical tenure of the call options
will be between 1 to 12 months.
(c) Options on equities, baskets of equities or equity indices may be used.
The Underlying Fund may hold assets denominated in foreign currencies, thus
may use currency forwards, futures, options and swap agreements to reduce the
currency deviations of the portfolio. However, the Sub-Manager currently does
not intend to hedge any foreign currency exposure of the portfolio, hence the
Underlying Fund is subject to currency risk.
Investment in FDIs (including options, foreign exchange forward contracts and
equity index futures contracts) by the Underlying Fund will be subject to risks
associated with such investments. The use of such investment strategies may be
-81-

restricted by market conditions or as a result of regulatory limits and there is no


assurance that the pursuit of such strategies will in fact achieve the desired aim.
The investment restriction of the portfolio is also guided by Appendix 1 and
Annex 1a (and read with Annex 1b to the Code on Collective Investment
Schemes, issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, which may be
amended from time to time by the Authority.
Distribution Policy Of The Underlying Fund
Currently, the Fund Manager of the Underlying Fund intends to make
distributions of 8% per annum of the net asset value of the Underlying Fund,
payable semi-annually.
The amount of distributions payable to a holder shall be based on the number of
units of the relevant Class of the Underlying Fund held by that Holder as at the
distribution date as evidenced by the register of Holders. In the event any
distribution date falls on a Dealing Day, Holders who realise their Units or who
submit a realisation request on or before that distribution date (before the Dealing
Deadline for that Dealing Day) or whose realisation request is in the course of
being processed on that distribution date will not be treated as a registered Holder
in respect of the Units realised on that distribution date or as set out in the
realisation request and therefore, will not receive the relevant distribution in
relation to those Units (unless otherwise determined by the Managers).
Investors should note that the intention of the Managers to make distributions as
outlined in the above table is not guaranteed and the Managers will review the
distribution policy of the Underlying Fund depending on prevailing market
conditions.
The Managers have the absolute discretion to determine whether a distribution
is to be made in respect of the Underlying Fund as well as the rate and
frequency of any distributions to be made.
Distribution payments in respect of the Underlying Fund will, at the sole
discretion of the Managers, be made out of either (a) income; or (b) net capital
gains; or (c) capital of the Underlying Fund or a combination of (a) and/or (b)
and/or (c). In the event the increase in the NAV per Unit is less than the
distribution payable per Unit, distributions will be made out of the capital of the
Underlying Fund.
Distributions made in respect of the Underlying Fund will be payable to Holders
within 30 days from the relevant distribution date. Investors may choose, at the
time of an initial application for Units, to elect for the automatic reinvestment of
all (but not part) of the distributions to be received by him in the Underlying Fund
(i.e. the purchase of further Units) instead of receiving the distributions in cash
(Distribution Reinvestment Mandate).
A Distribution Reinvestment Mandate for the Underlying Fund once made will
apply to all of the Units in the Underlying Fund then held by the same Holder at
any particular time. A Distribution Reinvestment Mandate may only be
withdrawn by the Holder giving the Managers not less than 30 days notice in
writing prior to the date of any particular distribution. Once withdrawn, the
-82-

distribution to be made to such Holder will be the relevant amount in cash


available for distribution in respect of such Holders unitholding.
Investors should note that regular distributions of any of the Underlying Fund are
not guaranteed and are not in any way a forecast or projection of the future or
likely performance of the relevant Underlying Fund. The making of any
distribution will not be taken to imply that further distributions will be made.
While the Managers will endeavour to make the distributions as set out above,
certain market or economic conditions prevailing at the time of the intended
distributions may render the intended distributions non-viable. In such instances,
the Managers may vary the frequency and/or amount of the distributions.
Investors should also note that any distributions made in respect of the
Underlying Fund will reduce the NAV of the relevant Underlying Fund. In
addition, distributions of the Underlying Fund may be made out of the capital of
the Underlying Fund (for instance, where the amount of distribution exceeds the
total return of the Underlying Fund). Where distributions are made out of the
capital of an Underlying Fund, the capital of the Underlying Fund is reduced
accordingly and this will also be reflected in the NAV per Unit of the Underlying
Fund. Therefore, any Holder redeeming his Units may receive an amount less
than his initial investment amount. Such distributions may also result in reduced
future returns to Holders. The Manager will, in their communication with the
Holders in respect of each distribution payment, inform the Holders of the
proportion of the distribution which has been made out of the capital of the
Underlying Fund.

Risks
General risks
Investment in a collective investment scheme is meant to produce returns over the
long term. Investors should not expect to obtain short-term gains from such
investments. The prices of units in a collective investment scheme and the income
from them may go up as well as down. A possible loss of the principal invested
cannot be ruled out. The risks of investments made by a collective investment
scheme include economic, political, foreign exchange, liquidity, regulatory,
interest rate, default and repatriation risks.
Specific risks
(a) To the extent the Underlying Fund invests in interest bearing securities, it is
exposed to risk of interest rate changes. If the market interest rate increases,
-83-

the price of the interest bearing securities included in the Underlying Fund
may drop significantly. This applies to an even greater degree if the
Underlying Fund also holds interest-bearing securities with a longer time to
maturity and a lower nominal interest return.
(b) To the extent the Underlying Fund invests in equities, even if indirectly, it is
exposed to various general trends and tendencies in the equities market,
which are partially attributable to irrational factors. Such factors may lead to
a more significant and longer lasting decline in prices affecting the entire
market. Securities of top-rated issuers are exposed to general market risk in
basically the same manner.
(c) Options are sensitive to the volatility of equity markets. Before expiry of the
option, the price of the option can change with the price of the stock
remaining unchanged due to changes in volatility.
(d) Options on baskets are subject to correlation / dispersion risks. The price of
this kind of option will change if the prices of the stocks in the basket do not
change together in the way anticipated.
(e) The price development of the securities and money market instruments held
by the Underlying Fund is also dependent on company-specific factors, for
example, the issuer's business situation. If the company-specific factors
deteriorate, the price of the specific security may drop significantly and
enduringly, possibly even without regard to an otherwise generally positive
stock market trend.
(f) The issuer of a security held by the Underlying Fund or the debtor of a claim
belonging to the Underlying Fund may become insolvent. This could result
in the corresponding assets of the Underlying Fund becoming economically
worthless.
(g) The Underlying Fund may hold assets denominated in foreign currencies.
The Sub-Manager of the Underlying Fund may use currency forwards,
futures, options and swap agreements to reduce the currency deviations of
the portfolio of the Underlying Fund. However, the Sub-Manager of the
Underlying Fund currently does not intend to hedge any foreign currency
exposure of the portfolio, hence the Underlying Fund is subject to currency
risk.
(h) Economic or political instability occurring in countries in which the
Underlying Fund is invested may result in the Underlying Fund not receiving
the full amount of monies to which it is entitled despite the solvency of the
issuer of the respective security. Currency or transfer limitations or other
legal changes, for example, may be of significance in this regard.
(i) The Fund Managers/Sub-Manager of the Underlying Fund will make use of
derivative instruments for the Underlying Fund (including forward
transactions and options) for hedging purposes and/or for efficient portfolio
management in pursuing the Underlying Funds investment objective. The
use of such investment strategies may be restricted by market conditions or
as a result of regulatory limits and there is no assurance that the pursuit of
such strategies will in fact achieve the desired aim. Examples of the function
of selected derivatives:
Options on Transferable securities
An option is the right to buy or sell a specific asset for a fixed price at a
future time or within a specific period of time.
-84-

Forward contracts
Trading in forward contracts such as futures, options and swaps on financial
instruments and combined transactions, such as swaptions, constitutes trading
in contracts with respect to the future value of transferable securities and
other financial instruments.
(j) The use of derivative instruments to hedge the Underlying Funds assets
reduces the economic risk inherent in an asset of the Underlying Fund to the
greatest extent possible. At the same time, however, there is a possible risk
that the Underlying Fund will no longer be able to participate in a positive
development of the hedged asset.

Name of Fund RHB Global Multi Manager Fund


Category of Fund Fund of Funds
Type of Fund Growth and Income
Investor Risk Profile Moderate
Fund Objective
To provide investors with long-term growth of capital with reduced levels of risk
through a highly diversified international growth and income portfolio based on a
global multi manager approach.
Note : Any material changes to the objective of the Fund require the Unit Holders approval.
Investor Profile
Suitable for investors with a moderate risk profile who are looking at investing in a
globally well diversified portfolio. The Fund is designed as the core holding for any
investment portfolio.
Asset Allocation
At least 95% of the Funds NAV will be invested in other collective investment
schemes
Up to 5% of the Funds NAV will be invested in liquid assets to provide for
liquidity purpose
Investment Strategy And Policy
The Manager will employ a multi style, multi manager approach. Multiple managers
and strategies are employed to capture sources of alpha (excess return) while avoiding
unnecessary risk at the total fund level.
The Fund is broadly diversified and provides an ideal vehicle for an investors core
exposure to both international and domestic capital markets. The Fund will be
invested in a portfolio of reputable domestic and global funds that are registered with
recognised exchanges and/or authorities including, but not limited to, the following
countries: Malaysia, United States, Europe, United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, Hong
Kong and/or Singapore.
The Manager will actively make the asset allocation decision and invest in the
appropriate Target Funds to build a well-diversified portfolio of funds. The Fund will
invest in collective investment schemes in a range of asset classes i.e. equities, fixed
income securities and money market instruments.
The Fund will primarily invest in a portfolio of equities, fixed income and money
market collective investment schemes where the issuers are incorporated or having
their principal business activities in developed countries and/or Malaysia.
-86-

The Manager will use a combination of top-down and bottom-up analysis to arrive at
an investment decision.
Portfolio construction is undertaken within a structured risk controlled framework to
ensure diversification across countries, asset classes and credits. The Manager will
actively select and combine the Target Funds to produce an optimal diversified
portfolio. Factors taken into consideration include the risk and correlation of each
asset class, the overall risk-return ratio of the combined portfolio, and the current and
expected outlook for each asset class/region.
Solid management and sound investment performance of the Target Funds are factors
that the Manager also considers. In evaluating the suitability of Target Funds for
investment, the Manager will conduct a review of the track record of the manager and
the Target Fund, investment objective of the Target Fund, investment policy and
strategies, fund performance and other factors deemed important by the Manager.
The Manager will invest in the Target Funds in a manner which will be in the best
interest of the Unit Holders. The switch to another collective investment scheme may
be performed on a staggered basis to facilitate a smooth transition. Hence during the
transition period, the Funds investment may differ from the stipulated investment
strategies.
The Fund will be invested in a minimum of five (5) collective investment schemes at
all times, with a maximum exposure of 30% of the Funds NAV in one (1) collective
investment scheme. The asset classes that have been identified for the Fund to invest
in are equities and fixed income securities.
In constructing the Fund, we seek to emphasise those return sources that provide the
most reliable means of excess return while controlling risks we believe are
uncompensated over the long term.
A core investment vehicle is characterised by consistent returns and lower levels of
risk. The best way to reduce risk is through high levels of diversification. The Fund
achieves this high level of diversification by utilising the investment approach
pioneered by Russell, the Multi Asset, Multi Style, Multi Manager
TM
approach.
The Fund will invest principally in a minimum of 5 international and domestic
collective investment schemes. The initial Target Funds will be chosen from funds
managed by Russell Investment Group and the Manager.
The list of Target Funds may vary from time to time, as the Funds allocation in the
asset classes/funds would depend on the Managers view and the outlook for each
asset class/geographical region/country. Additionally, if the investment in any of the
Target Funds does not meet the objective of the Fund, the Manager may choose to
replace that fund with another collective investment scheme with similar objectives.
The Manager will continuously monitor the Target Funds and make changes, if and
when required, to the composition of the Target Funds.
The investment strategy adheres to guidelines pertaining to Fund-of-funds issued by
SC. As such any changes to the Fund-of-funds guidelines would tantamount to a
change to this investment strategy.

The benchmark is selected to reflect the performance of the Funds investment into
various asset classes. This is in line with its objective to provide investors with long
term capital growth.
Risk Management Strategies
The Manager adopts the following forms of risk management strategies to mitigate
the risk inherent in the Fund:-
Risk Management Strategy
Risk management is at the core of our investment process. Every proposed decision
made by the investment team is considered in the context of the overall portfolio risk-
return trade-off.
The investments in the Target Funds will be monitored daily with regards to the
investments position in relation to sector exposure, investment restrictions, etc. As
some of the risks involved are inherent and may not be within the direct control of the
Manager, it may not be possible to completely hedge all risks. The Manager shall
however then take prudent and reasonable steps to anticipate foreseeable risks and to
minimise potential loss to Unit Holders.
The Manager may exercise economic acumen by utilising a network of research and
information providers to provide foresight on international and local developments,
which can impact investments. Such information will give the Manager lead-time to
re-align the investment, if required.
The Fund is a Fund-of-funds that invests in at least five (5) other collective
investment schemes. The Manager aims to select Target Funds that will be well
diversified among various asset classes and various regions across the world, hence
investment risk is expected to be lower.
The Fund may be hedged against the currencies denomination of the Target Funds
should the circumstances warrant it to hedge against adverse currency movements.
-88-

Temporary Defensive Positions


The Manager may take temporary defensive positions, upon consultation with the
Investment Committee that may be inconsistent with the Funds principal strategy in
attempting to respond to adverse economic, political or any other market conditions.
In response to adverse conditions such as market conditions or economic conditions
and as part of its risk management strategy, the Manager may utilise derivative
instruments such as futures contracts but only for hedging purposes. In addition, the
Manager may take foreign exchange hedge positions in order to mitigate currency
exposure that may erode the Funds returns and foreign exchange exposure to
international bonds will be hedged to the Malaysian Ringgit.

4.3 Shariah Investment Guidelines


For securities listed on the Bursa Malaysia, reference is made to the list of the Shariah
compliant securities determined by the Shariah Advisory Council of the SC on a
half-yearly basis. Otherwise, the Shariah Adviser of the Shariah Funds is consulted to
ascertain their Shariah status. The Shariah Funds investments in foreign securities (if
any) will be selected in accordance with the securities classified as Shariah-compliant
by the Shariah Adviser. RHBIM will seek the Shariah Advisers advice in identifying
the securities which satisfy their investment criteria which will then be utilized as an
investment universe for RHBIM and the respective External Investment Manager. All
the necessary documents with the latest information pertaining to business activities,
financial statement and other related information will be submitted to the Shariah
Adviser for Shariah stock screening process which involves both quantitative and
qualitative analysis. For the quantitative analysis process, the Shariah Adviser will
deduce if the financial ratios (interest income, debt ratio of interest bearing loans,
etc.) of the security comply with the Shariah Advisers internal financial thresholds.
Should any of the calculation fail to satisfy the financial thresholds, the Shariah
Adviser will not accord Shariah-compliant status for the company. Qualitative
analysis involves scrutinising the particulars security as a whole. The security must
not be involved in business activities that are not permitted by Shariah, such as
alcohol, pork and pork-related products, gambling, tobacco, pornography,
conventional financial services, etc. The Shariah Adviser will look into the aspects of
general public perception of the companys image, core business which is considered
important and maslahah (beneficial) to the muslim ummah and the country, the non-
permissible elements are very small and involve matters like umum balwa (common
plight and difficult to avoid), uruf (custom) and rights of the non-muslim community
which are accepted by Islam. To ensure strict compliance with Shariah requirements,
this list of the Shariah-compliant securities will be updated by the Shariah Adviser
twice yearly, for inclusion/exclusion from the said list.

The Shariah Funds investments in domestic sukuk will be selected from the list of
sukuk readily available at the SCs website after consultation with the Shariah
Adviser.
Shariah-compliant securities which are reclassified to be Shariah non-compliant upon
review of the securities by the Shariah Advisory Council of the SC or the Shariah
Adviser will render the securities to be disposed off should their market value exceed
the original investment cost on the announcement day. For the purpose of
cleansing/purification of the Shariah Funds, any capital gain arising from the disposal
of the Shariah non-compliant securities made at the time of the announcement day
can be kept. However, any excess capital gain derived from the disposal after the
announcement day at market price that is higher than the closing price on the
announcement day should be channelled to charitable bodies.
Divestment
In the event the Fund invests in non Shariah-compliant instruments by mistake, the
Fund shall dispose of any such non Shariah-compliant instruments, within a month of
knowing the status of the securities. Any gain made in the form of capital gain or
dividend received during or after the disposal of the instruments shall be channelled
to charitable bodies, as approved by the Shariah Adviser and the Trustee. The Fund
has a right to retain only the original investment cost, which may include brokerage
fee and other transaction costs.
-91-

Periodic Review
The Shariah Adviser will review the Fund on a quarterly basis or from time to time to
ensure the Funds operating procedures and investments comply with the Shariah
principles.
The investment portfolio of the RHBMF, RHBIBF, RHBIGF and RHBICMF comprises
securities which have been classified as Shariah compliant by the Shariah Advisory
Council (SAC) of the SC and/or the Shariah Advisers. For securities not certified by the
SAC, the status of the securities has been determined in accordance with the rulings
issued by the Shariah Adviser after consultation with the Shariah Adviser.

4.6 Bases Of Valuation Of Investments Of The Fund


In undertaking any of the Funds investments, the Manager will ensure that all the
assets of the Fund under its management will be valued appropriately, that is, at fair
market value and at all times in compliance with the SCs valuation guidelines as set
out in the Guidelines.
Accordingly:
(i) Listed equity securities, foreign equity securities and listed fixed income
securities will be valued daily based on the closing market price.
(ii) Unlisted Ringgit Malaysia denominated fixed income securities will be valued
on daily basis using fair value prices quoted by a bond pricing agency (BPA)
registered with the SC. If the Manager is of the view that the price quoted by
the BPA differs from the market price by more than 20 basis points, the
Manager may use the market price provided that the Manager adheres to the
Guidelines. For investment in foreign fixed income securities, either market
value or in the absence of reliable market quotation, the average indicative
price obtained from at least 3 independent dealers/financial institutions will be
used.
(iii) Unlisted equity securities that are not listed in or under the rules of an eligible
market will be valued every 3 months or as and when appropriate at fair value
as determined in good faith by the Manager, verified by the auditor of the Fund
and approved by the Trustee.
(iv) Suspended securities will be valued at their last done price prior to suspension.
In the event of a suspension in the quotation of the securities for a period
exceeding 14 days, or such shorter period as agreed by the Trustee, then the
securities should be valued at fair value, as determined in good faith by the
Manager and verified by the auditor of the Fund, based on the methods or bases
approved by the Trustee after appropriate technical consultation.
(v) Collective Investment Schemes will be valued based on the last published net
asset value per unit or (where considered appropriate by the Manager and
approved by the Trustee and verified by the auditor) the value shall be
determined by reference to the mean of bid and offer prices at the last closing.
Unlisted collective investment schemes which are feeder funds or fund of funds
will be valued by reference to the underlying funds next available bid price
(the basis of dealing of the Fund is forward pricing). If the quotations referred
to above are not available or if the value determined in the manner described
above, in the opinion of the Manager, does not represent a fair value of the
investments, then the value shall be any reasonable value as may be determined
by the Manager (with the consent of the Trustee) and verified by the auditor of
the Fund.
(vi) Futures contracts positions will be marked to market at the close of each
trading day.
(vii) Bank deposits and deposits placed with other financial institutions will be
valued each day by reference to the principal value of such investments.
Interest/profit receivables will be accrued each day based on the rate of
interest/profit attached to the deposits.
Unless otherwise prescribed by the SCs valuation guidelines, the valuation method
for an asset is to be determined by RHBIM, verified by the auditor of the Funds and
approved by the relevant Trustee.

5.3 Policy On Rebates And Soft Commission


Any rebate on brokerage fees or shared commission is to be credited into the accounts
of the Fund (where such brokerage fees or shared commission are paid out or to be
paid out of that Fund). Goods and services (Soft Commission) received from
brokers are retained by the Manager or its delegate only if the goods and services are
of demonstrable benefit to the Unit Holders such as research materials and computer
software incidental to the investment management of that Fund.

5.4 Other costs of investing in Feeder Funds
In respect of RHBGFF, RHBGTF and RHBATRF, since the Manager will invest in
unit/shares of the Target Fund, there are other fees and charges indirectly incurred by
the respective Target Fund such as the annual custodian fees and transaction fees
which are incurred at that Target Funds level. The rates for these fees will vary
according to the country of investment and, in some cases, according to asset class.
Thus the custody cost to a Target Fund will depend on its asset allocation at any time.
As such, unit holders of a Feeder Fund will indirectly bear the custodian fee and
transaction fees charged at that Target Funds level.
Other fees borne by a Target Fund include operating and related expenses including
but not limited to, stamp duties, taxes, commissions and other dealing costs, foreign
exchange costs, bank charges, registration fees in relation to investments, insurance
and security costs, fees and expenses of the auditor, the remuneration and expenses of
its directors and officers, all expenses incurred in the collection of income and certain
other expenses incurred in the administration of that Target Fund and in the
acquisition, holding and disposal of investments. A Target Fund will also be
responsible for the costs of preparing, translating, printing and distributing all its
respective rating agencies, statements, notices, accounts, prospectuses and reports.
These fees and charges are imputed into the calculation of each of the Target Funds
NAV. As such, Unit holders of the Target Fund are indirectly bearing the above fees
and expenses charged at the Target Fund level.
As a result of investing in the Target Fund, Unit Holders will be subjected to
higher fees and charges arising from the layered investment structure.
There are fees and charges involved and investors are advised to consider them before
investing in the Fund.

6. TRANSACTION INFORMATION
6.1 Determination Of Prices And Computation Of Net Asset Value And Net Asset
Value Per Unit

For all local equity, balanced and bond funds i.e. RHBDF, RHBCF, RHBBF,
RHBMDF, RHBINCF, RHBGLF, RHBMF, RHBIBF and RHBIGF:-
The NAV of the Fund is determined at 5.00 pm of each Business Day and is the total
value of all investments and cash held by the Fund including income derived by the
Fund which has not been distributed to Unit Holders, less any amount owing or
payable in respect of the Fund including any provisions that the Trustee or the
Manager considers necessary to be made. Such NAV per Unit will be published in the
Unit Trusts Column of the newspapers on the following day.
For all foreign equity, bond, feeder and fund of funds i.e. RHBGTF, RHBATRF and
RHBGMMF (except RHBDVEF and RHBGFF):-
The valuation of the Fund will be carried out at the time of the close of business of
the relevant exchanges. A pre-determined time is set at 5:00 pm on the following
Business Day. Hence, unit pricing for a Business Day will be known only on the
following Business Day. For any transactions encompassing purchases, redemptions,
switching or transfer before 4.00 pm on a Business Day, the price for these
transactions will be the unit pricing for that Business Day, which will be known only
on the following Business Day. Should investors rely upon the local dailies, the unit
prices can be obtained two (2) days later. For transactions at or after 4.00 pm, it will
be processed using the unit pricing for the next Business Day.
For RHBDVEF:-
The valuation of the Fund will be carried out at the time of the close of business of
the relevant exchanges. A pre-determined time is set at 10:30 am on the following
Business Day. Hence, unit pricing for a Business Day will be known only on the
following Business Day. For any transactions encompassing purchases, redemptions,
switching or transfer before 4.00 pm on a Business Day, the price for these
transactions will be the unit pricing for that Business Day, which will be known only
on the following Business Day. Should investors rely upon the local dailies, the unit
prices can be obtained two (2) days later. For transactions at or after 4.00 pm, it will
be processed using the unit pricing for the next Business Day.

For RHBGFF:-
The valuation of the Fund will be carried out at the time of the close of business of
the relevant exchanges. A pre-determined time is set at 4:00 pm on the following
Business Day. Hence, unit pricing for a Business Day will be known only on the
following Business Day. For any transactions encompassing purchases, redemptions,
switching or transfer before 4.00 pm on a Business Day, the price for these
transactions will be the unit pricing for that Business Day, which will be known only
on the following Business Day. Should investors rely upon the local dailies, the unit
prices can be obtained two (2) days later. For transactions at or after 4.00 pm, it will
be processed using the unit pricing for the next Business Day.
-110-

Illustration
For transaction made before 4.00 pm on a Business Day
For the market close of 22 June 2011, the unit price for the Business Day will be
calculated on the next Business Day, that is, 23 June 2011. The unit pricing will be
made known at 5:00 pm on 24 June 2010. However, the publication date on local
dailies for the prices as at 22 June 2011 will be on 24 June 2011.
For transaction made at or after 4.00 pm on a Business Day
For the market close of 22 June 2011, the unit price will be for the next Business Day,
which will be calculated two (2) days later, that is, 24 June 2011. The unit pricing
will be made known at 5.00 pm on 24 June 2011. However, the publication date on
local dailies will be on 27 June 2011.
The rationale for this is that the Fund may invest into markets which will remain open
for trading after the close of the Malaysian market. As such any prices adopted for the
foreign investments of the Fund may not be final for the relevant Business Day. To
value the investments better, it would be best to extract the closing prices of all
markets after their respective close, hence unit pricing is best performed on the
following day.
For all local money market funds i.e. RHBCMF and RHBICMF
The NAV of the Fund is determined at 2.00 p.m. of each Business Day and is the total
value of all investments and cash held by the Fund including income derived by the
Fund which has not been distributed to Unit Holders, less any amount owing or
payable in respect of the Fund including any provisions that the Trustee or the
Manager considers necessary to be made. Such NAV per Unit will be published in the
Unit Trusts Column of the newspapers on the following day.
Computation of NAV

The following is an illustration using hypothetical figures of a valuation carried out
for the Fund after the Initial Offer Period
RM

Net Asset Value of the Fund RM981,906,688.68
Units in Circulation 981,000,000 Units
Therefore, NAV per Unit is RM981,906,688,68
981,000,000 Units
= RM1.000924 (before rounding
adjustments)
= RM1.0009 (rounded to 4 decimal points)

6.2 Basis Of Determining The Repurchase And Selling Prices


The repurchase and sale transactions will be executed at prices next determined, i.e.
forward pricing basis. Under the forward pricing basis:-
(a) the sale of Units by the Manager to an investor will be executed at the NAV
per Unit at the next valuation point after the purchase request from the
investor is received by the Manager; and
(b) the repurchase of Units by the Manager from an investor/Unit Holder will be
executed at the NAV per Unit at the next valuation point after the
repurchase/redemption request from the investor/Unit Holder is received by
the Manager.
For all equity, balanced, bond, feeder and fund of funds i.e. RHBDF, RHBCF,
RHBBF, RHBMDF, RHBINCF, RHBGLF, RHBMF, RHBIBF, RHBIGF,
RHBDVEF, RHBGTF, RHBATRF, RHBGFF and RHBGMMF:-
A transaction of Units of the Fund by an investor/Unit Holder is considered as carried

6.3 Unit Pricing And The Single Pricing Regime
Under the single pricing regime (SPR), both the Repurchase Price and the Selling
Price should be the NAV per Unit of the Fund as at the next valuation point following
an application to purchase or request for repurchase of Units of the Fund is received
by the Manager. The Repurchase Charge and Sales Charge are calculated and charged
separately. The SPR will provide greater transparency to the investors on the charges
imposed by the Manager and each distribution channel such as tied agents and IUTAs.
(a) Sales Of Units
Making an Investment
Buying of Units by investors is transacted at the NAV per Unit of the Fund.
Assuming that a Fund which an investor wishes to purchase has a fixed Sales
Charge of 5.0% of the NAV per Unit.
Illustration: Purchase of Units
Hypothetical figures are used for the purposes of this illustration. On 30 June
2011, if Investor A decided to invest RM5,000 in the Fund.
Let us assume that the NAV per Unit of the Fund is RM0.5000 and that the
Sales Charge payable on the purchase of units in the Fund is 5.0% of the
NAV per Unit.
Based on the above, Investor A will have 10,000 Units credited into his
investment account as shown below:
Units Credited to
Investors account
Amount Invested = RM5,000 10,000 Units
NAV per Unit RM0.5000
Sales Charge per unit = NAV per Unit x Sales Charge (%)
= RM0.5000 x 5.0%
= RM0.0250
Total Sales Charge
incurred by Investor A = Sales Charge per unit x Units credited to
investor
= RM0.0250 x 10,000 units
= RM250
Following the above, the total amount payable by Investor A:
= Amount invested in the Fund + Sales Charge incurred
= RM5,000 + RM250
= RM5,250
-113-

(b) Repurchase Charge


Redeeming An Investment
Redemption of units by investors is transacted at the NAV per Unit of the
Fund. Assuming the Manager does not impose a redemption/repurchase
charge for redemption of Units.
Illustration: Redemption of Units
Hypothetical figures are used for the purposes of this illustration. On 30 June
2011, Investor B decides to redeem 10,000 units of the Fund. He submits his
redemption request.
Let us assume that the NAV per Unit of the Fund is RM0.5000.
Based on the above,
the amount redeemed = Units redeemed x NAV per Unit
= 10,000 units x RM0.5000
= RM5,000
Repurchase charge per unit = NAV per Unit x Repurchase
Charge (%)
= RM0.5000 x 0%
= RM0

Total Repurchase Charge
incurred by Investor B = Repurchase Charge per Unit x
Units redeemed
= RM0 x 10,000 units
= RM0
Following the above, the repurchase proceeds received by Investor B within
10 days from the Managers receipt of his redemption request:
= Amount redeemed from the Fund - Repurchase Charge incurred
= RM5,000 RM0
= RM5,000
6.4 Policy On Rounding Adjustments

The NAV per Unit for the Fund is rounded to 4 decimal points.
6.5 Incorrect Pricing
In the event of any incorrect pricing of Units of the Fund, the Manager shall take
immediate remedial action and make all necessary reimbursements where that
incorrect pricing
(i) is equal or more than zero point five per centum (0.5%) of the Net Asset Value
per Unit; and
(ii) results in a sum total of Ringgit Malaysia Ten (RM10.00) or more to be
reimbursed to the affected Unit Holder or former Unit Holder for each sale or
repurchase transaction.
Subject to any regulatory requirements, the Manager shall have the right to amend,
vary or revise the abovesaid limits or threshold from time to time.

9. RISK FACTORS
9.1 General Risks Of Investing In Unit Trust Funds
Just like any other form of investment, unit trust funds also carry some risks. Risk is
the term used to describe the extent to which any form of investment may fluctuate in
value. One should consider, amongst others, the following when investing in a unit
trust fund:
(a) Loan financing risk
Investors should assess the inherent risk of investing with borrowed money,
which should include the following:
The ability to service the loan repayments and the effect of increase in
interest rates on the loan repayments; and
If units are used as collateral, investors may be required to provide
additional collateral should the Funds prices fall below a certain level.
(b) Management risk
Poor management of the Fund may jeopardise the investment of each Unit
Holder. Therefore, it is important for the Manager to set the investment
policies and appropriate strategies to be in line with the investment objective
before any investment activities can be considered. However, there can be
no guarantee that these measures will produce the desired results.
(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to sell, possibly
preventing a unit trust fund from selling such illiquid securities at an
advantageous time or price. Unit trust funds with principal investment
strategies that involve foreign securities, derivatives or securities with
substantial market and/or credit risk tend to have the greater exposure to
liquidity risk.
(d) Non-compliance risk
The operations and administration of the Fund by the Manager or its delegate
are governed by the Deed, all relevant laws and regulations or internal
policies and procedures. Non-compliance risk may adversely affect the
investment of the Fund especially if the Manager is forced to sell the
investment of the Fund at a lower price to rectify the non-compliance.
(e) Affected by Variable factors
The performance of the Fund is driven by many variable factors and is not
guaranteed. These include the economic and financial market conditions,
interest rate fluctuation, stability of local currency, general economic
environment and the Managers capability. Furthermore, proven track records
may not guarantee better performance. The prices of units may go down as
well as up. Likewise, distribution may vary from year to year depending on
the performance 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.

9.2 Specific Risks Of The Funds


Local Conventional Funds
(a) RHB Dynamic Fund
Stock market risk
Securities may decline in value due to factors affecting securities markets
generally or particular industries represented in the securities markets. The value
of a security may decline due to general market conditions which are not
specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse
economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings,
changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investors sentiment generally.
They may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries,
such as labour shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions
within an industry. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than
fixed income securities. The market price of securities owned by a unit trust fund
might go down or up, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to sell, possibly
preventing a unit trust fund from selling such illiquid securities at an
advantageous time or price. Unit trust funds with principal investment strategies
that involve securities or securities with substantial market and/or credit risk tend
to have the greater exposure to liquidity risk. As part of its risk management,
RHBIM will attempt to manage the liquidity of the Fund through asset allocation
and diversification strategies within the portfolio. RHBIM will also conduct
constant fundamental research and analysis to forecast future liquidity of its
investments.
Individual stock risk
The performance of each individual stock that a unit trust fund invests is
dependent upon the management quality of the particular company and its growth
potential. Hence, this would have an impact on the unit trust funds prices and its
dividend income. RHBIM aims to reduce all these risks by using diversification
that is expected to reduce the volatility as well as the risk for the Funds portfolio.
In addition, RHBIM will also perform continuous fundamental research and
analysis to aid its active asset allocation management especially in its stock
selection process.
Issuer risk
The value of each individual fixed income securities that a unit trust fund invests
in may decline for a number of reasons which is directly related to the issuer,
such as, the management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand
for the issuers goods or services. RHBIM aims to reduce all these risks by using
diversification that is expected to reduce the volatility as well as the risk for the
Funds portfolio.
(b) RHB Capital Fund
Stock market risk
Securities may decline in value due to factors affecting securities markets
generally or particular industries represented in the securities markets. The value
of a security may decline due to general market conditions which are not
-154-

specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse


economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings,
changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investors sentiment generally.
They may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries,
such as labour shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions
within an industry. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than

potential. Hence, this would have an impact on the unit trust funds prices and its
dividend income. RHBIM aims to reduce all these risks by using diversification
that is expected to reduce the volatility as well as the risk for the Funds portfolio.
In addition, RHBIM will also perform continuous fundamental research and
analysis to aid its active asset allocation management especially in its stock
selection process.
Issuer risk

in may decline for a number of reasons which is directly related to the issuer,
such as, the management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand
for the issuers goods or services. RHBIM aims to reduce all these risks by using
diversification that is expected to reduce the volatility as well as the risk for the
Funds portfolio.
(c) RHB Bond Fund
Interest rate risk
Bond prices move in the opposite direction of interest rates; a rise/fall in interest
rates will cause a fall/rise in bond prices and investor will experience a capital
loss/gain should the bond be sold before maturity. In order to mitigate interest
rates exposure of the Fund, RHBIM will manage the duration of the portfolio via
shorter or longer tenured assets depending on the view of the future interest rate
trend of RHBIM, which is based on its continuous fundamental research and
analysis.
Credit/Default risk
This refers to the likelihood that the company issuing the bonds may default.
Securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which are often reflected
in credit ratings. Municipal bonds are subject to the risk that litigation, legislation
or other political events, local business or economic conditions, or the bankruptcy
-155-

of an issuer could have a significant effect on the issuers ability to make


payments of principal and/or interest. A unit trust fund could lose money if the
issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterpart to a derivatives
contract, repurchase agreement or a loan of portfolio securities, is unable or
unwilling to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise
honour its obligations. Credit risk can be managed by performing continuous
fundamental credit research and analysis to ascertain the creditworthiness of its
issuer.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to sell, possibly
preventing a unit trust fund from selling such illiquid securities at an
advantageous time or price. Unit trust funds with principal investment strategies

(i) RHB GoldenLife Funds
Allocation Risks
As the Funds adopt a metamorphosis concept (that is, the asset allocation of
each Fund will automatically evolve over time), there is a risk that the
recommended allocation of a Fund at any one point in time will neither maximise
returns nor minimise risks.
-158-

There is also a risk that given a particular time horizon, a recommended


allocation will not prove to be the ideal allocation in all circumstances for every
investor.
Each Fund has a different level of risk. The Funds with shorter time horizons
(RHB GoldenLife Today for instance) will tend to be less risky and have lower
expected returns over the long term than the Funds with longer time horizon
(RHB GoldenLife 2020 and RHB GoldenLife 2030, for instance). For example,
to the extent a Fund emphasises equities, such as RHB GoldenLife 2030, it
presents a higher degree of equities investment risk. Conversely, to the extent a
Fund emphasises on bonds, such as RHB GoldenLife Today, it presents a higher
degree of fixed income securities investment risk. The value of the investment in
a Fund is based, in large part, on the prices of the equities and fixed income
securities in which the Fund invests.
Stock market risk
Securities may decline in value due to factors affecting securities markets
generally or particular industries represented in the securities markets. The value
of a security may decline due to general market conditions which are not
specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse
economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings,
changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investors sentiment generally.
They may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries,
such as labour shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions
within an industry. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than
fixed income securities. The market price of securities owned by a unit trust fund
might go down or up, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably.
Interest rate risk
Bond prices move in the opposite direction of interest rates; a rise/fall in interest
rates will cause a fall/rise in bond prices and investor will experience a capital
loss/gain should the bond be sold before maturity. In order to mitigate interest
rates exposure of the Fund, RHBIM will manage the duration of the portfolio via
shorter or longer tenured assets depending on the view of the future interest rate
trend of RHBIM, which is based on its continuous fundamental research and
analysis.
Individual stock risk
The performance of each individual stock that a unit trust fund invests is
dependent upon the management quality of the particular company and its growth
potential. Hence, this would have an impact on the unit trust funds prices and its
dividend income. RHBIM aims to reduce all these risks by using diversification
that is expected to reduce the volatility as well as the risk for the Funds portfolio.
In addition, RHBIM will also perform continuous fundamental research and
analysis to aid its active asset allocation management especially in its stock
selection process.
Credit/Default risk
This refers to the likelihood that the company issuing the bonds may default.
Securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which are often reflected

RHBIM will attempt to manage the liquidity of the Fund through asset allocation
and diversification strategies within the portfolio. RHBIM will also conduct
constant fundamental research and analysis to forecast future liquidity of its
investments.
Issuer risk
The value of each individual fixed income securities that a unit trust fund invests
in may decline for a number of reasons which is directly related to the issuer,
such as, the management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand
for the issuers goods or services. RHBIM aims to reduce all these risks by using
diversification that is expected to reduce the volatility as well as the risk for the
Funds portfolio.
Inflation/Purchasing Power risk
Inflation can be defined as increases of price level of goods and services and is
commonly reported using the Consumer Price Index as a measure. Inflation is
one of the major risks to investors over the long term and results in uncertainty
over the future value of the investments. Inflation reduces purchasing power of
money. In an inflationary environment, fixed rate securities are exposed to
higher inflation risks than inflation-linked securities. This risk can be minimised
by investing in securities that can provide positive real rate of return.
(j) RHB Cash Management Fund
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is crucial in this Fund since debt securities portfolio management
depends on forecasting interest rate movements. Prices of short term debt
securities move inversely with interest rates and the degree of price sensitivity to
interest rates is a function of debt securities and coupon maturity as well as the
level of interest rates. In the event of rising interest rates, prices of debt securities
will decrease and vice versa. Therefore, interest rate risk should be low for short-
term bonds, moderate for intermediate term bonds and high for long-term bonds.
In order to mitigate interest rates exposure of the Fund, RHBIM will manage the
duration of the portfolio via shorter or longer tenured assets depending on the
view of the future interest rate trend of RHBIM, which is based on its continuous
fundamental research and analysis. The interest rate risk here refers to the general
interest rate risk of the country which may affect the value of investment even if
the Shariah based fund does not invest in interest bearing instruments.
Inflation Risk
Inflation reduces the purchasing power of money. Therefore in an inflationary
environment, there is a possibility that income from debt securities may not be
-160-

able to keep up with inflation. This risk can be minimised by investing in


securities that can provide positive real rate of return.
Liquidity Risk
It is generally accepted that the Malaysian debt market is less liquid than the equity
market. Thus, the Fund may not be able to liquidate their investments easily if there
are no willing buyers. As part of its risk management, RHBIM will attempt to
manage the liquidity of the Fund through asset allocation and diversification
strategies within the portfolio. RHBIM will also conduct constant fundamental
research and analysis to forecast future liquidity of its investments.
Local Shariah Funds
(a) RHB Mudharabah Fund
Stock market risk
Securities may decline in value due to factors affecting securities markets
generally or particular industries represented in the securities markets. The value
of a security may decline due to general market conditions which are not
specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse
economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings,
changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investors sentiment generally.
They may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries,
such as labour shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions
within an industry. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than
fixed income securities. The market price of securities owned by a unit trust fund
might go down or up, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably.
Individual stock risk
The performance of each individual stock that a unit trust fund invests is
dependent upon the management quality of the particular company and its growth
potential. Hence, this would have an impact on the unit trust funds prices and its
dividend income. RHBIAM aims to reduce all these risks by using diversification
that is expected to reduce the volatility as well as the risk for the Funds portfolio.
In addition, RHBIM will also perform continuous fundamental research and
analysis to aid its active asset allocation management especially in its stock
selection process.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to sell, possibly
preventing a unit trust fund from selling such illiquid securities at an
advantageous time or price. Unit trust funds with principal investment strategies
that involve foreign securities, derivatives or securities with substantial market
and/or credit risk tend to have the greater exposure to liquidity risk. As part of its
risk management, RHBIAM will attempt to manage the liquidity of the Fund
through asset allocation and diversification strategies within the portfolio. RHBIM
will also conduct constant fundamental research and analysis to forecast future
liquidity of its investments.
Issuer risk
The value of each individual fixed income securities that a unit trust fund invests
in may decline for a number of reasons which is directly related to the issuer,
such as, the management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand
for the issuers goods or services. RHBIAM aims to reduce all these risks by
-161-

using diversification that is expected to reduce the volatility as well as the risk for
the Funds portfolio.
Interest rate risk
Bond prices move in the opposite direction of interest rates; a rise/fall in interest
rates will cause a fall/rise in bond prices and investor will experience a capital
loss/gain should the bond be sold before maturity. In the case of Shariah
compliant unit trust funds, the fluctuation in profit rates will affect the prices of
its debt securities instruments. The interest rate risk here refers to the general
interest rate risk of the country which may affect the value of investment even if
the Shariah based fund does not invest in interest bearing instruments.
The Shariah compliant debt securities indicative rate is influenced by the yield
curve of the conventional interest rates. Thus, any movement in the conventional
interest rates may be reflected in the indicative rates of Shariah compliant debt
securities as well.
However, this does not in any way suggest that the Fund will invest in fixed
income securities where conventional interest rates apply. All the investments
carried out for the Fund will be in accordance with Shariah principles. In order to
mitigate interest rates exposure of the Fund, RHBIAM will manage the duration
of the portfolio via shorter or longer tenured assets depending on the view of the
future interest rate trend of RHBIM, which is based on its continuous
fundamental research and analysis.
Credit/Default risk
This refers to the likelihood that the company issuing the bonds may default.
Securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which are often reflected
in credit ratings. Municipal bonds are subject to the risk that litigation, legislation
or other political events, local business or economic conditions, or the bankruptcy
of an issuer could have a significant effect on the issuers ability to make
payments of principal and/or interest. A unit trust fund could lose money if the
issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterpart to a derivatives
contract, repurchase agreement or a loan of portfolio securities, is unable or
unwilling to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise
honour its obligations. Credit risk can be managed by performing continuous
fundamental credit research and analysis to ascertain the creditworthiness of its
issuer.
Shariah specific risk
The risk that the investments do not conform to the principle of Shariah may
result in those investments being not Shariah compliant. Although the probability
of such occurrences is minute, should the situation arise, RHBIAM will need to
take the necessary steps to dispose of such investments in accordance with the
rules of divestment of non Shariah-compliant investments. If this occurs, the
Fund could suffer losses from the disposal and thus, adversely affecting the value
of the Fund.
(b) RHB Islamic Bond Fund
Credit/Default risk
This refers to the likelihood that the company issuing the bonds may default.

(d) RHB Islamic Cash Management Fund
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is crucial in this Fund since debt securities portfolio management
depends on forecasting interest rate movements. Prices of short term debt
securities move inversely with interest rates and the degree of price sensitivity to
interest rates is a function of debt securities and coupon maturity as well as the
level of interest rates. In the event of rising interest rates, prices of debt securities
will decrease and vice versa. Therefore, interest rate risk should be low for short-
term bonds, moderate for intermediate term bonds and high for long-term bonds.
Even though the Fund does not invest in interest bearing instruments, the interest
rate referred herein is to the general interest rate of the country which may affect
the value of the investment of the Fund. However, given the short term nature of
the investments, the Fund is exposed to minimal interest rate risk. The interest
rate risk here refers to the general interest rate risk of the country which may
-165-

affect the value of investment even if the Shariah based fund does not invest in
interest bearing instruments.
Credit/Default Risk
This risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a particular investment will not
be able to make timely or full payments of principal or income due on that
investment. In the case of the Fund, the Manager will endeavour to minimize this
risk by selecting only issuers with prescribed and acceptable credit ratings. The
minimum credit rating for rated instruments to be invested by the Fund shall be
A by Malaysia Rating Corporation Berhad or equivalent rating by any other
similar rating agencies. In the event of a credit downgrade of a particular
instrument below the minimum stipulated, the Manager will endeavour to take
the necessary steps to divest that instrument within a time frame deemed
reasonable by the Manager. However, in order to best protect the interests of the
Fund, the Manager has the discretion to take into consideration all relevant
factors that affect the value of the investment before deciding on the manner and
time frame of its liquidation.
Liquidity Risk
It is generally accepted that the Malaysian debt market is less liquid than the
equity market. Thus, the Fund may not be able to liquidate their investments
easily if there are no willing buyers. To minimise this risk, up to 10% of the Fund
will be invested in Islamic money market instruments and deposits with financial
institutions of between 365 days and 732 days in maturity. The rest of the Fund
will be invested in Islamic money market fund instruments that are less than 365
days, which is highly liquid in nature.
Inflation Risk
Inflation reduces the purchasing power of money. Therefore in an inflationary
environment, there is a possibility that income from debt securities may not be
able to keep up with inflation.
Shariah specific risk
The risk that the investments do not conform to the principle of Shariah may
result in those investments being not Shariah compliant. Although the probability
of such occurrences is minute, should the situation arise, RHBIAM will need to
take the necessary steps to dispose of such investments in accordance with the
rules of divestment of non Shariah compliant investments. If this occurs, the Fund
could suffer losses from the disposal and thus, adversely affecting the value of the
Fund.
Foreign Funds
(a) RHB Dividend Valued Equity Fund

Stock market risk
Securities may decline in value due to factors affecting securities markets
generally or particular industries represented in the securities markets. The value
of a security may decline due to general market conditions which are not
specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse
economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings,
changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investors sentiment generally.
They may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or
industries, such as labour shortages or increased production costs and
-166-

competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities generally have


greater price volatility than fixed income securities. The market price of
securities owned by a unit trust fund might go down or up, sometimes rapidly or
unpredictably.
Currency risk
As for unit trust funds that invest overseas, fluctuations in the denominated
currencies of the foreign shares and fixed income securities/debentures may
affect the price of the units. RHBIM could utilise two pronged approaches in
order to mitigate the currency risk. Firstly by spreading the investments across
differing currencies (i.e. diversification) and secondly by hedging the currencies
when it is deemed necessary.
Country risk
The stock prices may be affected by the political and economic conditions of the
country in which the stocks are listed. To mitigate these risks, RHBIM will select
securities that spread across countries within its portfolio in an attempt to avoid
such events. Decision on diversification will be based on its constant fundamental
research and analysis on the global markets.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to sell, possibly
preventing a unit trust fund from selling such illiquid securities at an
advantageous time or price. Unit trust funds with principal investment strategies
that involve foreign securities, derivatives or securities with substantial market
and/or credit risk tend to have the greater exposure to liquidity risk. As part of its
risk management, RHBIM will attempt to manage the liquidity of the Fund through
asset allocation and diversification strategies within the portfolio. RHBIM will also
conduct constant fundamental research and analysis to forecast future liquidity of its
investments.
Sector risk
Securities may decline in value due to factors affecting the technology industry or
the securities markets generally. The value of a security may decline due to
general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular
company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, cyclical or
seasonal changes in the industry, technological changes within the industry,
changes in the general outlook of the industry, corporate earnings, or adverse
investors sentiment generally. RHBIM will endeavour to minimize such risks by
investing in a portfolio that diversifies the Fund's assets within that sector. This is
expected to reduce the volatility as well as the risk for the Funds portfolio.
Interest rate risk
Bond prices move in the opposite direction of interest rates; a rise/fall in interest
rates will cause a fall/rise in bond prices and investor will experience a capital
loss/gain should the bond be sold before maturity. In order to mitigate interest
rates exposure of the Fund, RHBIM will manage the duration of the portfolio via
shorter or longer tenured assets depending on the view of the future interest rate
trend of RHBIM, which is based on its continuous fundamental research and
analysis.
Credit/Default risk
This refers to the likelihood that the company issuing the bonds may default.
Securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which are often reflected
-167-

in credit ratings. Municipal bonds are subject to the risk that litigation, legislation
or other political events, local business or economic conditions, or the bankruptcy
of an issuer could have a significant effect on the issuers ability to make
payments of principal and/or interest. A unit trust fund could lose money if the
issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterpart to a derivatives
contract, repurchase agreement or a loan of portfolio securities, is unable or
unwilling to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise
honour its obligations. Credit risk can be managed by performing continuous
fundamental credit research and analysis to ascertain the creditworthiness of its
issuer.
Issuer risk
The value of each individual fixed income securities that a unit trust fund invests
in may decline for a number of reasons which is directly related to the issuer,
such as, the management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand
for the issuers goods or services. RHBIM aims to reduce all these risks by using

of the major risks to investors over the long term and results in uncertainty over
the future value of the investments. Inflation reduces purchasing power of money.
In an inflationary environment, fixed rate securities are exposed to higher
inflation risks than inflation-linked securities. This risk can be minimised by
investing in securities that can provide positive real rate of return.
Fund manager risk
Since the Fund is managed by another fund house, RHBIM has no control over
the respective fund house's investment technique, knowledge or management
expertise. In the event of mismanagement, the NAV of the Fund would be
affected negatively. Although the probability of such occurrences is minute,
should the situation arise RHBIM reserves the right to seek an alternative fund
manager.
Regulatory risk
Any changes in national policies and regulations may have an effect on the
capital markets in which the Fund is investing. If this occurs there is a possibility
that the unit price of the Fund may be adversely affected.
-168-

(b) RHB Global Themes Fund


As the Fund may invest up to 100% of its NAV in the DWS Global Themes Equity
Fund, it is subject to the management risk of the management company and
investment manager of the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund. Poor management of
the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund will jeopardize the investment of the Fund in
the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund, and in turn, the Unit Holders investment
through the loss of capital invested in the Fund.
Interest rate risk
To the extent the Fund invests in the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund, it is
exposed to the risk of interest rate fluctuations if the DWS Global Themes
Equity Fund holds securities with high correlation to the interest rates. If the
markets interest rates change, the price of these securities may be deeply
affected.
General market risk
As the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund invests in equities, it is exposed to
various general trends and tendencies in the equities market which are
particularly attributable to irrational factors. Such factors may lead to a more
significant and long lasting decline in prices affecting the entire market.
Stock & issuer risk
The investment in securities by the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund is also
dependent on the issuer specific factors like the issuers management, activities,
business situation and performance. If the issuer-specific factors deteriorate, the
price of the specific security may drop significantly and permanently, possibly
even regardless of an otherwise generally positive stock market trend. Other
risks to issuer include but are not limited to competitive operating environments
and changing industry conditions.
Currency risk
While the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund is denominated in SGD, it may be
invested in whole or in part in securities quoted in other currencies and thus
subject to fluctuations in currency exchange rates and in certain cases, exchange
control regulations. The performance of the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund
will therefore be affected by movements in the exchange rate between the
currencies in which its assets are held and its base currency (if foreign currency
positions have not been hedged). In addition, as the Fund is denominated in
Ringgit Malaysia, whereas the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund is
denominated in SGD, the performance of Units in the Fund will be affected by
movements in the exchange rate between Ringgit Malaysia and SGD. Changes
in rates of exchange between currencies may cause the value of the Funds
investment in DWS Global Themes Equity Fund to diminish or increase which in
turn will affect the value of the Unit Holders investments.
Country & foreign investment risk
The investments by the DWS Global Themes Equity Fund in foreign markets
may be subject to the changes in the countrys economic fundamentals, social
and political stability, currency movements and foreign investment policies.
These factors may have an impact on the prices of the securities that the DWS
Global Themes Equity Fund invests in. There may also be the possibility of
changes in government policies in some of these markets that may affect the
ability to repatriate capital income and proceeds.
-169-

Liquidity risk
The DWS Global Themes Equity Fund may invest in securities which are less
liquid, and affect its ability to acquire or dispose of these securities at the desired
price and time.
Tax risk
The DWS Global Themes Equity Fund may be subject to tax exposures on their
underlying investments. Any such tax exposure will be borne by the DWS Gloal
Themes Equity Fund and may in turn, impact the value of that Fund.
Credit risk
Credit ratings of instruments investment into by the DWS Global Themes
Equity Fund represent the rating agencies opinion regarding the instruments
credit quality and are not a guarantee of quality. Rating agencies rating
methodology relies on historical data, which may not be predictive of future
trends.
Fund manager risk
Since the Fund invests into a fund managed by another fund house, RHBIM has
no control over the respective fund houses investment technique, knowledge or
management expertise. In the event of mismanagement, the NAV of the Fund
which invests into the Target Fund would be affected negatively. Although the
probability of such occurrences is minute, should the situation arise RHBIM
reserves the right to seek an alternative fund manager and/or other collective
investment scheme that is consistent with the objective of the Fund.
Regulatory risk
Any changes in national policies and regulations may have an effect on the
capital markets in which the Target Fund is investing. If this occurs there is a
possibility that the unit price of the Fund may be adversely affected.
(c) RHB Asian Total Return Fund
As the Fund may invest up to 100% of its NAV in the SISF Asian Bond Absolute
Return, it is subject to the management risk of the management company and
investment manager of the SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return. Poor management of
the SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return will jeopardize the investment of the Fund in
the SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return and in turn, the Unit Holders investment
through the loss of capital invested in the Fund.
Interest rate risk
To the extent the Fund invests in the SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return it is
exposed to the risk of interest rate fluctuations if the SISF Asian Bond Absolute
Return holds securities with high correlation to the interest rates. If the markets
interest rates change, the price of these securities may be deeply affected.

dependent on the issuer-specific factors like the issuers management, activities,
business situation and performance. If the issuer-specific factors deteriorate, the
price of the specific security may drop significantly and permanently, possibly
even regardless of an otherwise generally positive stock market trend. Other risks
to issuer include but are not limited to competitive operating environments and
changing industry conditions.
-170-

Currency risk
While the SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return is denominated in USD, it may be
invested in whole or in part in securities quoted in other currencies and thus
subject to fluctuations in currency exchange rates and in certain cases, exchange
control regulations. The performance of the SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return
will therefore be affected by movements in the exchange rate between the
currencies in which its assets are held and its base currency (if foreign currency
positions have not been hedged). In addition, as the Fund is denominated in
Ringgit Malaysia, whereas the SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return is denominated
in USD, the performance of Units in the Fund will be affected by movements in
the exchange rate between Ringgit Malaysia and USD. Changes in rates of
exchange between currencies may cause the value of the Funds investment in SISF
Asian Bond Absolute Return to diminish or increase which in turn will affect the
value of the Unit Holders investments.
Country & foreign investment risk
The investments by the SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return in foreign markets
may be subject to the changes in the countrys economic fundamentals, social and
political stability, currency movements and foreign investment policies. These
factors may have an impact on the prices of the securities that the SISF Asian
Bond Absolute Return invests in. There may also be the possibility of changes in
government policies in some of these markets that may affect the ability to
repatriate capital income and proceeds.
Smaller capitalisation companies
The investments by the SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return in securities of smaller
companies may fluctuate and especially during periods when markets are falling,
become less liquid and experience short-term price volatility and wide spreads
between dealing prices.
Emerging and less developed markets risks
The SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return may invest in emerging and less
developed markets. The risks present in investing in emerging and less developed
markets instruments may include the following:
- Political and economic instability;
- Accounting practices may not accord with international standards;
- Shareholders are not adequately protected;
- Lack of liquidity, efficiency and regulatory and supervisory controls in the
securities market;
- Tax law and practice is not clearly established.
Liquidity risk
The SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return may invest in securities which are less
liquid, and affect its ability to acquire or dispose of these securities at the desired
price and time.
Credit rating risk
Credit ratings of instruments investment into by the SISF Asian Bond Absolute
Return represent the rating agencies opinion regarding the instruments credit
quality and are not a guarantee of quality. Rating agencies rating methodology
relies on historical data, which may not be predictive of future trends.
-171-

Regulatory risk
Any changes in national policies and regulations may have an effect on the
capital markets in which the SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return is investing. If
this occurs there is a possibility that the unit price of the Fund may be adversely
affected. Also to note that the SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return is domiciled in
Luxembourg and all the regulatory protections provided by the local authorities
may not apply to the Fund.
Market risk
The value of the securities in which SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return invests,
may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies and/or
prevailing economic conditions. Movement of overseas markets may also have an
impact on the local markets.
Counterparty risk

entered into a repurchase agreement, may default on its repayment obligations.
Default risk
The issue of fixed income securities held by SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return
may default on its obligation to pay interest and repay principal. If this occurs,
there is a possibility that the unit price of the Fund may be adversely affected.
Suspension of share dealings risk
The Fund invests in SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return which allows for
circumstances to suspend the right to redeem or switch.
Issuer downgrade risk
The investments in securities by the SISF Asian Bond Absolute Return may be
subject to the risk that the ratings agencies reduces its credit rating on an issuer,
signalling its belief that the credit quality of an issuer has deteriorated because of
a deterioration in its financial condition. Credit rating agencies announce reviews
of issuer at times when the financial health of the issuer is changing, which may
be an upgrade or downgrade. A negative rating will decrease the price of all
securities by that issuer.
Fund manager risk
Since the Fund invests into a fund managed by another fund house, RHBIM has
no control over the respective fund houses investment technique, knowledge or
management expertise. In the event of mismanagement, the NAV of the Fund
which invests into the Target Fund would be affected negatively. Although the
probability of such occurrences is minute, should the situation arise RHBIM
reserves the right to seek an alternative fund manager and/or other collective
investment scheme that is consistent with the objective of the Fund.
(d) RHB Global Fortune Fund
As the Fund may invest up to 100% of its NAV in the Allianz Global Investors
Premier Funds-RCM Global High Payout Fund (Underlying Fund), it is subject to
the management risk of the management company and investment manager of the
Underlying Fund. Poor management of the Underlying Fund will jeopardize the
investment of the Fund in the Underlying Fund, and in turn, the Unit Holders
investment through the loss of capital invested in the Fund.
-172-

Interest rate risk


To the extent the Fund invests in the Underlying Fund, it is exposed to the risk of
interest rate changes. If the markets interest rates change, the price of these
securities may be deeply affected and this applies to a greater degree if the
Underlying Fund holds securities with high correlation to the interest rates.
General market risk
As the Underlying Fund invests in equities, it is exposed to various general trends
and tendencies in the equities market which are particularly attributable to
irrational factors. Such factors may lead to a more significant and long lasting
decline in prices affecting the entire market.
Stock & issuer risk
The performance of equities and money market instruments held by the
Underlying Fund is also dependent on company specific factors like the issuers
business situation. If the company-specific factors deteriorate, the price of the
specific security may drop significantly and permanently, possibly even
regardless of an otherwise generally positive stock market trend. Risks include
but are not limited to competitive operating environments, changing industry
conditions and poor management.
Currency risk
While the Underlying Fund is denominated in SGD, it may be invested in whole
or in part in securities quoted in other currencies. The performance of the
Underlying Fund will therefore be affected by movements in the exchange rate
between the currencies in which its assets are held and its base currency (if
foreign currency positions have not been hedged). In addition, as the Fund is
denominated in Ringgit Malaysia, whereas the Underlying Fund is denominated
in SGD, the performance of Units in the Fund will be affected by movements in
the exchange rate between Ringgit Malaysia and SGD. Changes in rates of
exchange between currencies may cause the value of the Funds investment in the
Underlying Fund to diminish or increase which in turn will affect the value of the
Unit Holders investments.
Country & transfer risk
The investments by the Underlying Fund in foreign markets may be subject to the
changes in the countrys economic fundamentals, social and political stability,
currency movements and foreign investment policies. These factors may have an
impact on the prices of the securities that the Underlying Fund invests in.
Currency or transfer limitations or other legal changes may be of significance in
this regard.
Fund manager risk
Since the Fund invests into a fund managed by another fund house, RHBIM has
no control over the respective fund houses investment technique, knowledge or
management expertise. In the event of mismanagement, the NAV of the Fund
which invests into the Target Fund would be affected negatively. Although the
probability of such occurrences is minute, should the situation arise RHBIM
reserves the right to seek an alternative fund manager and/or other collective
investment scheme that is consistent with the objective of the Fund.
-173-

Regulatory risk
Any changes in national policies and regulations may have an effect on the
capital markets in which the Target Fund is investing. If this occurs there is a
possibility that the unit price of the Fund may be adversely affected.
(e) RHB Global Multi Manager Fund
Since a large portion of the Funds NAV is invested in the Target Funds, investment
into the Fund assumes the risks inherent in the respective Target Funds.
The specific risks to investors when investing in the Fund include the following:
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of negative movements that affect the price of all assets in
a particular capital market. The factors influencing the performance of the
markets include: -

1) Economic and financial market conditions
2) Political Change
3) Broad investor sentiment
4) Movements in interest rate and inflation
Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and
general market or economic conditions. Such movements in the underlying
values of the shares of the investment portfolio will cause the NAV or prices of
units to fall as well as rise, and income produced by the Target Funds may also
fluctuate. By investing in Target Funds which invest in markets that are not
highly correlated, the market risk of the Fund could be reduced. In addition,
active asset allocation management will be employed to reduce the market risk.
Country risk
If a fund invests in foreign markets, the foreign investments portion of the fund
may be affected by risks specific to the country that it invests in. Such risks
include changes in the countrys economic fundamentals, social and political
stability, currency movements and foreign investments policies. These factors
may have impact on the prices of the securities that the Target Funds invested in
and depress its net asset value growth. To mitigate these risks the Manager will
select Target Funds that spread across countries in an attempt to avoid such
events.
Currency risk
This risk is associated with investments that are quoted in foreign currency
denomination. When an underlying fund is denominated in a foreign currency
which fluctuates unfavourably against the Ringgit, the investment in the Fund
may face currency loss in addition to the capital gains/losses. This will lead to a
lower NAV of the Fund. Currency risks could be mitigated on a two-pronged
approach. Firstly by spreading the investable assets across differing currencies
and secondly by utilising forward contracts to hedge the currencies if it is deemed
as necessary to do so.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is generally the most important risk presented by bond funds.
Most bonds change in market value to reflect interest rate changes. As interest
rates rise, the price of a bond typically falls, which causes the NAV of the

-174-

underlying bond fund to fall and vice versa. Interest rate risk is higher for bonds
with longer maturities/duration and lower coupon rates. The Manager will
manage this risk by changing the Target Funds of different duration based on
interest rate expectation/outlook.

Credit/Default risk
Bond issuers may default or reschedule their repayment. When this occurs the
value of the defaulted bond would fall and cause the NAV of the underlying fund
to decline in a similar proportion. This risk can be mitigated by careful selection
of bond funds and in any case this Fund only invests in bond funds that invest in
investment grade bonds.

Stock & issuer risk
The performance of equities and money market instruments held by the
underlying funds are also dependent on company specific factors like the issuers
business situation. If the company-specific factors deteriorate, the price of the
specific security may drop significantly and permanently, possibly even
regardless of an otherwise generally positive stock market trend. Risks include
but are not limited to competitive operating environments, changing industry
conditions and poor management.

Fund manager risk
Since the Fund invests into funds managed by other fund houses, the Manager
has no control over the respective fund houses investment technique, knowledge
or management expertise. In the event of mismanagement, the NAV of the Fund
which invests into the Target Funds would be affected negatively. Although the
probability of such occurrences is minute, should the situation arise the Manager
reserves the right to seek an alternative fund manager and/or other collective
investment scheme that is consistent with the objective of the Fund.

Regulatory risk
Any changes in national policies and regulations may have an effect on the
capital markets in which the Target Funds are investing. If this occurs there is a
possibility that the unit price of the Fund may be adversely affected.


9.3 Risk Management Strategies

The Manager adopts the following forms of risk management strategies to mitigate the
risks inherent in the respective Funds:-

Adhering to the Funds investment objectives and investment restrictions and
limits;
Reporting investment matters to the Investment Committee of the Fund;
Diversification across asset classes;
Imposing limits on exposure to single company/group;
Duration management of the fixed income portfolio;
Liquidity management;
In-depth study of issuer (credit/bond structure/security);
Hedging against market risk through the use of derivative instruments such as
options and futures, where applicable;
Hedging against currency risks at point of transaction especially for transactions
involving fixed income securities; and
-175-

Hedging against credit/default risks by limiting the purchase of bonds to either


bank guaranteed bonds or approved investment grade bonds rated by RAM or any
other approved rating agencies.
For Shariah Funds, RHBIAM adopts the following forms of risk management
strategies:-
Adhering to the Funds investment objectives and investment restrictions and
limits;
Diversification across asset classes;
Imposing limits on exposure to single company/group;
Duration management of the sukuk portfolio;
Liquidity management;
In-depth study of issuer (credit/sukuk/security);
Hedging against market risk through the use of derivative instruments such as
options and futures, where applicable;
Hedging against credit/default risks by limiting the purchase of sukuks to either
bank guaranteed sukuks or approved investment grade sukuks rated by RAM or
any other approved rating agencies.
It is important to note that events affecting the investments cannot always be foreseen.
Therefore, it is not always possible to protect your investment against all risks. The various
asset classes generally exhibit different levels of risk.
The investment of each of the Funds carries risk and we recommend that you read the whole
Prospectus to assess the risks of the Funds.

payment obligations under Kuala Lumpur High Court Civil Suit No. D5(D6)-22-

2010 in respect of the ABBA Suit in awarding judgement against it and another
Defendant. The appeals are set for hearing on 20-23 September 2011 and 26-30
September 2011.
Connected to the ABBA Suit, Amanah Short Deposits Berhad [now MIDF Amanah

and/or Medium Term Notes/Letters of Credit/Financial Guarantee Facilities
[CP/MTN] totalling RM13 million and issued by PASB, have also sued PASB for

The JN Suit arises in the Trustees ordinary course of business and in the performance
of its duties and responsibilities to the Senior Bondholders and in acting responsibly
further to the instructions of the Senior Bondholders via special resolution in

TAXATION ADVISERS LETTER
ON TAXATION OF THE TRUSTS AND UNITHOLDERS

TAXATION OF THE TRUSTS OFFERED UNDER THE MASTER PROSPECTUS AND
UNITHOLDERS
Dear Sirs,
This letter has been prepared for inclusion in the Master Prospectus in connection with the offer of
units in the trusts listed in the Appendix (the Trusts).

The taxation of income for both the Trusts and the Unitholders are subject to the provisions of the
Malaysian Income Tax Act 1967 (the Act). The applicable provisions are contained in Section 61 of
the Act, which deals specifically with the taxation of Trust bodies in Malaysia.
TAXATION OF THE TRUSTS
The Trusts will be regarded as resident for Malaysian tax purposes since the Trustees of the Trusts are
resident in Malaysia.
(1) Foreign Investments
Income of the Trusts in respect of overseas investment is exempt from Malaysian tax by virtue of
Paragraph 28 of Schedule 6 of the Act and distributions from such income will be tax exempt in the
hands of the Unitholders. Such income from foreign investments may be subject to taxes or
withholding taxes in the specific foreign country. However, any foreign tax suffered on the income in
respect of overseas investment is not tax refundable to the Trusts in Malaysia.

The foreign income exempted from Malaysian tax at the Trusts level will also be exempted from tax
upon distribution to the Unitholders.
(2) Domestic Investments
(i) General taxation
The income of the Trusts consisting of dividends, interest or profit
1
(other than interest and profit
1
which is exempt from tax) and other investment income derived from or accruing in Malaysia, after
deducting tax allowable expenses, is liable to Malaysian income tax at the rate of 25 per cent.
Gains on disposal of investments by the Trusts will not be subject to income tax.
(ii) Tax Credit
With effect from 1 January 2008, Malaysia introduced the single-tier system where dividends paid by
companies would not be taxable. However, during the transitional period from 1 January 2008 to 31
December 2013, companies may still continue to be under the imputation system where dividends
paid are taxed at source and tax credits available to recipients.
Dividends received from companies that are under the single-tier system would be exempted from tax
and the expenses incurred on such dividends would be disregarded. There will no longer be any tax
refunds available for single-tier dividends received.
Dividends received by the Trusts would have suffered tax deduction at source at 25 per cent, unless
specific exemptions apply e.g. pioneer dividends. No further tax will be payable by the Trusts on the
dividends. However, such tax or part thereof will be refundable to the Trusts if the total tax so
deducted at source exceeds the tax liability of the Trusts.
(iii) Exempt Income
The Trusts may receive Malaysian dividends which are tax exempt. The exempt dividends may be
received from investments in companies which had previously enjoyed or are currently enjoying the
various tax incentives provided under the law. The Trusts will not be taxable on such exempt income.
With effect from 1 January 2008, dividends received from companies under the single-tier system
would also be exempted.
_______________________________________________
1
Section 2(7) of the Malaysian Income Tax Act 1967, provides that any reference to interest shall apply
equally to gains or profits received and expenses incurred, in lieu of interest, in transactions conducted
in accordance with the principles of Shariah. The effect of this is that any gains or profits received and
expenses incurred in Shariah transactions will be given the same tax treatment as interest similar to a
conventional transaction.

Interest income or profit


1
or discount income derived from the following investments are exempt from
tax:
(a) Securities or bonds issued or guaranteed by the Government;
(b) Debentures and Islamic Securities, other than convertible loan stocks approved by the
Securities Commission (SC); and
(c) Bon Simpanan Malaysia issued by Bank Negara Malaysia.
As such, provided the investment in structured products is seen to be debentures under the Capital
Markets and Services Act 2007, the income received will be exempted. Otherwise, tax implications
could arise.
Interest income or profit
1
derived from the following investments are exempt from tax:
(a) Interest or profit
1
paid or credited by any bank or financial institution licensed under the
Banking and Financial Institutions Act 1989 or the Islamic Banking Act 1983; and
(b) Bonds, other than convertible loan stocks, paid or credited by any company listed on
the Malaysia Exchange of Securities Dealing and Automated Quotation Berhad (now
known as Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad ACE Market).
The income exempted from tax at the Trusts level will also be exempted from tax upon distribution to
the Unitholders.
(3) Hedging Instruments
The tax treatment of hedging instruments would depend on the particular hedging instruments entered
into.
Generally, any gain / loss relating to the principal portion will be treated as capital gain / loss. Gains /
losses relating to the income portion would normally be treated as revenue gains / losses. The gain /
loss on revaluation will only be taxed or claimed upon realisation. Any gain / loss on foreign
exchange is treated as capital gain / loss if it arises from the revaluation of the principal portion of the
investment.
(4) Income from Malaysia Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)
Income from distribution from REITs will be received net of final withholding tax of 10 per cent. No
further tax will be payable by the Trusts on the distribution. Distribution from such income by the
Trusts will also not be subject to further tax in the hands of the unit holders.
(5) Tax Deductible Expenses
Expenses wholly and exclusively incurred in the production of gross income are allowable as
deductions under Section 33(
1
) of the Act. In addition, Section 63B of the Act provides for tax
deduction in respect of managers remuneration, expenses on maintenance of the register of
Unitholders, share registration expenses, secretarial, audit and accounting fees, telephone charges,
printing and stationery costs and postages. The deduction is based on a formula subject to a minimum
of 10 per cent and a maximum of 25 per cent of the expenses.

(6) Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT)


With effect from 1 January 2010, Real Property Gains Tax of 5 per cent will be applicable on gains on
disposal of investments representing shares in real property companies
2
where the disposal is within 5
years of ownership.
TAXATION OF UNITHOLDERS
Unitholders will be taxed on an amount equivalent to their share of the total taxable income of the
Trusts to the extent of the distributions received from the Trusts. The income distribution from the
Trusts will carry a tax credit in respect of the Malaysian tax paid by the Trusts. Unitholders will be
entitled to utilise the tax credit against the tax payable on the income distribution received by them.
No additional withholding tax will be imposed on the income distribution from the Trusts.
Non-resident Unitholders may also be subject to tax in their respective jurisdictions. Depending on the
provisions of the relevant countrys tax legislation and any double tax treaty with Malaysia, the
Malaysian tax suffered may be creditable against the relevant foreign tax.
Corporate Unitholders, resident
3
and non-resident, will generally be liable to income tax at 25 per cent
on distribution of income received from the Trusts. The tax credits attributable to the distribution of
income can be utilised against the tax liabilities of these Unitholders.

_______________________________________________
2
A real property company is a controlled company which owns or acquires real property or shares in real
property companies with a market value of not less than 75 per cent of its total tangible assets. A controlled
company is a company which does not have more than 50 members and is controlled by not more than 5
persons.
3
Resident companies with paid up capital in respect of ordinary shares of RM2.5 million and below will pay
tax at 20 per cent for the first RM500,000 of chargeable income with the balance taxed at 25 per cent.
With effect from year of assessment 2009, the above shall not apply if more than -
(a) 50 per cent of the paid up capital in respect of ordinary shares of the company is directly or indirectly
owned by a related company;
(b) 50 per cent of the paid up capital in respect of ordinary shares of the related company is directly or
indirectly owned by the first mentioned company;
(c) 50 per cent of the paid up capital in respect of ordinary shares of the first mentioned company and the
related company is directly or indirectly owned by another company.
Related company means a company which has a paid up capital in respect of ordinary shares of more than
RM2.5 million at the beginning of the basis period for a year of assessment.
RBB Nastei Piospectus uateu }uly

Individuals and other non-corporate Unitholders who are tax resident in Malaysia will be subject to
income tax at graduated rates ranging from 1 per cent to 26 per cent. Individuals and other non-
corporate Unitholders who are not resident in Malaysia will be subject to income tax at 26 per cent.
The tax credits attributable to the distribution of income can be utilised against the tax liabilities of
these Unitholders.
The distribution of exempt income and gains arising from the disposal of investments by the Trusts
will be exempted from tax in the hands of the Unitholders.
Any gains realised by Unitholders (other than dealers in securities, insurance companies or financial
institutions) on the sale or redemption of the units are treated as capital gains and will not be subject
to income tax. This tax treatment will include gains in the form of cash or residual distribution in the
event of the winding up of the Trusts.
Unitholders electing to receive their income distribution by way of investment in the form of new
units will be regarded as having purchased the new units out of their income distribution after tax.
Unit splits issued by the Trusts are not taxable in the hands of Unitholders.
We hereby confirm that the statements made in this report correctly reflect our understanding of the
tax position under current Malaysian tax legislation. Our comments above are general in nature and
cover taxation in the context of Malaysian tax legislation only and do not cover foreign tax legislation.
The comments do not represent specific tax advice to any investors and we recommend that investors
obtain independent advice on the tax issues associated with their investments in the Trusts.
Yours faithfully,
for and on behalf of
PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS TAXATION SERVICES SDN BHD
Frances Po
Senior Executive Director
PricewaterhouseCoopers Taxation Services Sdn Bhd have given their written consent to the inclusion
of their report as Taxation Adviser in the form and context in which it appears in this Prospectus and

20. LOAN FINANCING RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENT


Investing in a unit trust scheme with borrowed money is more risky than investing with own
savings.
You should assess if loan financing is suitable for you in light of your objectives, attitude to
risk and financial circumstances. You should be aware of the risks, which would include the
following:
(a) The higher the margin of financing (that is, the amount of money you borrow for
every Ringgit of your own money that you put in as deposit or down payment), the
greater the potential for losses as well as gains.
(b) You should assess whether you have the ability to service the repayments on the
proposed loan. If your loan is a variable rate loan, and if interest rates rise, your total
repayment amount will be increased.
(c) If unit prices fall beyond a certain level, you may be asked to provide additional
acceptable collateral or pay additional amounts on top of your normal instalments. If
you fail to comply within the time prescribed, your units may be sold to settle your
loan.
(d) Returns on unit trust are not guaranteed and may not be earned evenly over time. This
means that there may be some years where returns are high and other years where
losses are experienced. Whether you eventually realise a gain or loss may be affected
by the timing of the sale of your units. The value of units may fall just when you want
your money back even though the investment may have done well in the past.
This brief statement cannot disclose all the risks and other aspects of loan financing. You
should therefore carefully study the terms and conditions before you decide to take the loan. If
you have doubts in respect of any aspect of this Risk Disclosure Statement or the terms of the
loan financing, you should consult the institution offering the loan.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECEIPT OF RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
I acknowledge that I have received a copy of this Unit Trust Loan Financing Risk Disclosure
Statement and understand its contents.

Investing in an investment scheme with borrowed money is more risky than
investing with your own savings. You should assess if loan nancing is suitable
for you in light of your objectives, attitude to risk and nancial circumstances.
You should be aware of the risks, which would include the following:-
(i) The higher the margin of nancing (that is, the amount of money you
borrow for every Ringgit of your own money that you put in as deposit
or down payment) the greater the potential for losses as well as gains.
(ii) You should assess whether you have the ability to service the repayments
on the proposed loan. If your loan is a variable rate loan, and if interest
rates rise, your total repayment amount will be increased.
(iii) If unit prices fall beyond a certain level, you may be asked to provide
additional acceptable collateral or pay additional amount on top of
your normal installments. If you fail to comply within the prescribed
time, your units may be sold to settle your loan.
(iv) Returns on investment are not guaranteed and may not be earned
evenly over time. This means that there may be some years where
returns are high and other years where losses are incurred instead.
Whether you eventually realise a gain or incur loss may be aected by
the timing of the sale of your units. The value of units may fall just when
you want your money back even though the investment may have
done well in the past.
This brief statement cannot disclose all the risks and other aspects of loan
nancing. You should therefore carefully study the terms and conditions
before you decide to take the loan. If you have doubts in respect of any aspect
of this Risk Disclosure Statement or the terms of the loan nancing, you should
consult the institution offering the loan.
