WEEKLY HIGHLIGHTS The FBM KLCI eased below 1,600 points to close at a one-week intraday low of 1,591.9 points, down 0.7% for the week. Regional markets closed on a mixed note with selected markets such as Taiwan and Korea registering weekly losses of 3.6% and 1.7% respectively. Looking ahead, the performance of the local and regional markets will depend on improvement in U.S. economic activities and developments in the Eurozone. STOCKMARKET COMMENTARY After touching record highs in recent weeks, the FBM KLCI eased below 1,600 points on renewed concerns over the Eurozone debt crisis and moderation in Chinas economic activities. The FBM KLCI closed at a oneweek intraday low of 1,591.9 points, down 0.7% for the week. Average daily trading volume increased to 1.7bil from 1.2bil in the preceding week while daily turnover in value terms was sustained at RM1.5bil over the same period. Regional markets closed on a mixed note with selected markets such as Taiwan and Korea registering weekly losses of 3.6% and 1.7% respectively. However, the Shanghai and China mainland H share markets were well-supported on expectations that Chinas monetary policies will be eased to support growth. On Wall Street, the Dow was wellsupported above 13,000 points on the back of better-than-expected earnings announced by a broad range of industries. Despite the moderation of economic activities in March, investors are expecting fairly resilient U.S. 1Q2012 GDP growth data to be announced on 27th April. The Dow rose by 1.4% to 13,029.3 points while the Nasdaq edged down 0.4% to 3,000.5 points over the week. The broader-based S&P 500 index closed 0.6% higher at 1,378.5 points over the same period.

In the U.S., macroeconomic data released over the week were sluggish with retail sales growth easing to a 2-month low of 0.8% month-on-month basis in March from 1.0% in February due to lower sales of automotive products. Housing starts moderated to 654,000 units in March from 694,000 units in February while existing home sales declined by 2.6% on a monthon-month basis in March compared to a contraction of 0.6% in February. Crude oil prices rose to US$103.05/brl to register a weekly gain of 0.2% following news of a decrease in U.S. oil inventories. On the local front, Malaysias inflation rate edged down to a 15-month low of 2.1% in March from 2.2% in February due to slower increases in housing and transportation costs. Food and beverage prices remained unchanged at 2.9% in March. Malaysias foreign reserves increased to RM416.6bil on a year-to-date basis to 13 April 2012 on account of capital inflows and positive trade balance. On a weekly basis, the Ringgit weakened by 0.3% to close at RM3.064 against the US$ while on a year-to-date basis, the Ringgit appreciated by 3.3% against the greenback. Looking ahead, the local market is anticipated to move in tandem with overseas markets as investors continue to monitor U.S. economic activities and developments in the Eurozone. At the FBM KLCIs closing level of 1,591.9 points on 20th April 2012, the local stock market is trading at a prospective P/E of 16.4x on 2012 earnings, which is lower than its 10-year average P/E ratio of 16.7x. The local market is supported by a gross dividend yield of about 3.7% which exceeds the 12-month fixed deposit rate of 3.15%.

BOND MARKET COMMENTARY For the fortnight ended 20th April 2012, the U.S. Treasury market strengthened amid lack of fresh U.S. economic data releases. In addition, renewed concerns over Europes fiscal issues specifically with regards to Spain increased safe haven demand for U.S. Treasuries. The 3, 5 and 10-year Treasury yields fell by between 3 basis points (bps) and 9 bps to 0.40%, 0.84% and 1.96% respectively over the fortnight. The Malaysian Government Securities (MGS) market was mixed with the 3-year MGS yields rising by 6 bps to 3.17% over the fortnight while the 5 and 10-year fell by 7 and 12 bps to 3.21% and 3.52% respectively over the same period. The local corporate bond market strengthened as the 3, 5 and 10-year AAA corporate bond yields fell by between 1 basis point (bp) and 2 bps to 3.71%, 3.95% and 4.36% respectively over the fortnight. In the money market, the spread of the 3month Kuala Lumpur Interbank Offer Rate (KLIBOR) over the yield of the 3-month U.S. Treasury bill remained unchanged at 312 bps over the fortnight ago as both the 3month U.S. Treasury bill and the 3-month KLIBOR remained unchanged at 0.07% and 3.19% respectively over the same period. Looking ahead, the U.S. Treasury bond prices may experience some volatility in the medium term as investors monitor the pace of the recovery in the U.S. economy. On the domestic front, the MGS market may gradually consolidate given the continued uncertainties over the global financial markets and economic conditions in the near-term.

n.a.= Not available as the above statistics are not meaningful for funds which have less than three years track record and not applicable to bond and money market funds as appropriate benchmark is not available. Average Annual Return = the percentage change in fund prices (adjusted for splits and distribution paid out) for the period divided by the number of years under review. Beta = A historical measure of a fund's sensitivity to movements in the benchmark index. A fund with a beta of 1.50 is significantly more volatile than its benchmark. It would tend to gain 1.5% for every 1% rise in the market and lose 1.5% for every 1% decline in the market. R-squared = A historical measure which indicates how closely a fund's past fluctuations have correlated with the fluctuations of its benchmark index. R-squared values range from 0 to 1.0. An R-squared of 0 means that a fund's returns have no correlation with a benchmark's fluctuations while an R-squared of 1.0 indicates that a fund's returns are completely correlated with the benchmarks returns. Standard Deviation = A statistical measure of the range of a fund's performance. This statistic compares a fund with its own past record (and not against a benchmark as seen in the computation of beta and R-squared). Standard deviation is the degree to which a fund's returns have fluctuated above or below its mean (or average) return over the previous 36 months. When a fund has a high standard deviation, its range of performance has been very wide, indicating that there is a greater potential for volatility of returns. Note that all risk measures have limitations. No single measure of risk paints a complete picture of the funds returns. These measures of risks are based on past performance which may not be indicative of future returns. The Volatility Factor (VF) means there is a possibility for the fund in generating an upside return or downside return around this VF. The Volatility Class (VC) is assigned by Lipper based on quintile ranks of VF for qualified funds. VF is subject to monthly revision and VC is revised every six months. The volatility banding for the Very Low, Low, Moderate, High and Very High VCs as at 31 December 2011 are 0.000 VF 2.675, 2.675 < VF 9.790, 9.790 < VF 12.735, 12.735 < VF 15.930 and VF more than 15.930 respectively. For this period to June 2012 the VCs for the funds are based on the VFs of the respective funds as at 31 December 2011. The funds portfolio may have changed since this date and there is no guarantee that the fund will continue to have the same VF or VC in the future. Presently, only funds launched in the market for at least 36 months will display the VF and its VC.
