  • 8/19/2019 Info Memorandum SituationalIncome Final

    16/38

    13

    RISKS FACTORS

    General risks of investing in a wholesale fund

      Market Risk

    Market risk refers to the possibility that an investment will lose value

    because of a general decline in financial markets, due to economic,

    political and/or other factors, which will result in a decline in the fund’s net

    asset value. 

     

    Manager’s Risk 

    This risk refers to the day-to-day management of the fund by the

    manager which will impact the performance of the fund. For example,

    investment decisions undertaken by the manager, as a result of an

    incorrect view of the market or any non-compliance with internal policies,

    investment mandate, the deed, relevant law or guidelines due to factors

    such as human error or weaknesses in operational process and systems,

    may advesely affect the performance of the fund.

      Inflation Risk

    This is the risk that investors’ investment in the fund may not grow or

    generate income at a rate that keeps pace with inflation. This would

    reduce investors’ purchasing power even though the value of the

    investment in monetary terms has increased.

    Specific risks of investing in the Fund 

    You will not be able to redeem your Units within 3 years from the

    Commencement Date. You can only redeem up to 20% of your initialinvestment once a year after 3 years but before the end of fifth year from the

    Commencement Date with an exit fee of 10% of the redemption amount. The

    Fund may invest up to 100% of its NAV in a debenture issued by a single

    issuer. The Fund may invest in non-tradable and non-transferable debentures.

    The Fund is suitable only for investors who have a long-term investment

    horizon (5 years and above).

    You are advised not to invest in this Fund if you are not able to accept therisks.

    17/38

    Specific risks associated with the Fund 

      Liquidity risk

    Liquidity risk refers to the ease of liquidating an asset depending on the

    asset’s volume traded in the market. If the Fund holds assets that are

    illiquid, or are difficult to dispose of, the value of the Fund will be

    negatively affected when it has to sell such assets at unfavourable prices.

      Credit and default risk 

    Credit risk relates to the creditworthiness of the issuers of the debt

    instruments and its expected ability to make timely payment of interest

    and/or principal. Any adverse situations faced by the issuer may impact

    the value as well as liquidity of the debt instrument. Default risk relates to

    the risk than an issuer of a debt instrument either defaulting on payments

    or failing to make payements in a timely manner which will in turn

    adversely affect the value of the debt instruments. Thic could adversely

    affect the value of the Fund.

      Interest Rate Risk

    Interest rate risk refers to the imapct of interest rate changes on the

    valuation of debt instruments. When interest rates rise, debt instrumemts

    prices generally decline and this may lower the market value of the Fund’s

    investment in debt instruments. The reverse may apply when interest

    How Is The NAV (actual value) Per Unit Calculated?

    The Manager will calculate the NAV of the Fund at the end of each Business

    Day. The NAV is defined as the total value of the Fund’s investment, assets and

    properties less any liabilities or provisions. Where applicable, investment

    income, interest payable, fees and other liabilities will be accrued daily inarriving at the NAV of the Fund. The NAV per Unit is then determined by

    dividing the NAV of the Fund by the number of Units in circulation at the

    valuation point rounded up to four (4) decimal places or as agreed between the

    Manager and Trustee.

    Computation of Net Investment Amount and Units Entitlement

    -  For investors who make a lump sum payment inclusive of fees and GST

    (eg. RM100,000)

    The net investment amount (excluding fees and taxes) is determined by

    dividing the lump sum payment (excluding bank charges) with a Charge

    Factor.

    Charge Factor = 100% + (entry fee in % x 1.06)

    The number of Units invested is determined by dividing the net investment

    amount (excluding fee and taxes), with the NAV per Unit at the next valuation

    point after the Manager receives the investment application and rounded up

    to two (2) decimal places.

     Illustration 3A: Allocation of Units to Investor

    or business.

    1. The bondholders of the Al-Bai Bithaman Ajil (“ABBA”) bonds

    (“bondholders”) issued by Pesaka Astana (M) Sdn Bhd (“PASB”) have sued

    PASB for its failure to meet its bonds payment obligations under Kuala

    Lumpur High Court Civil Suit No. D5(D6)-22-1810-2005 (“ABBA Suit”) and

    cited the Trustee as one of 12 co-defendants in the ABBA Suit. The claim in

    the ABBA Suit is for RM149,315,000.00 or any other sum that the Court

    deems fit. The other defendants in the ABBA Suit include among others the

    Arranger, PASB’s Chief Executive Officer, one of PASB’s directors and

    associate companies of the Chief Executive Officer and the said director. The

    Trustee has defended the ABBA Suit and its trial has concluded.

    The Trustee had appealed against the decision made by the High Court on 30

    June 2010 in respect of the ABBA Suit in awarding judgement against it. The

    appeals proceeded on 22, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30 September 2011 and 3

    October 2011. The Court of Appeal had on 8 November 2011 awarded the

    Trustee and the Arranger a limited indemnity against PASB, PASB’s Chief

    Executive Officer, one of PASB’s directors and associate companies of the

    Chief Executive Officer and the said director (collectively “PASB And Their

    Associated Defendants”) but found the Trustee and the Arranger equally liable

    to the bondholders. The Federal Court had on 5 April 2012 granted the

    Trustee leave to appeal to the Federal Court against certain parts of the

    decision of the Court of Appeal (“Federal Court Appeal”). The Federal Court

    Appeal was heard on 6, 7, 8, 20, 21 and 23 November 2012 and on 2, 3 and

  • 8/19/2019 Info Memorandum SituationalIncome Final

    30/38

    27

    4 January 2013. The hearing dates of 17 to 19 October 2012 and 19

    November 2012 were vacated.

    The Federal Court had on 10 February 2014 delivered its decision (“Decision”)

    wherein it had, among others, allowed the Trustee a full indemnity against

    PASB And Their Associated Defendants and reduced the judgement sum

    against the Trustee to approximately RM107 million without apportionment of

    liability against the Arranger.

    PASB’s Chief Executive Officer and associate companies of the Chief Executive

    Officer (collectively the “Pesaka Defendants”) had filed an application for the

    Federal Court to grant leave to review its Decision against them (“ReviewApplication 1”). On 29 September 2014, the Federal Court allowed the Pesaka

    Defendants’ application to withdraw Review Application 1.

    Most of the bondholders had filed an application for the Federal Court to grant

    leave to review its Decision in finding the Arranger not liable (“Review

    Application 2”). On 29 September 2014, the Federal Court dismissed Rev iew

    Application 2.

    2. Connected to the ABBA Suit, Amanah Short Deposits Berhad [now MIDF

    Amanah Investment Bank Berhad (“MIDF”)], a Noteholder of the Combined

    Commercial Papers and/or Medium Term Notes/Letters of Credit/Financial

    Guarantee Facilities (“CP/MTN”) totalling RM13 million and issued by PASB,

    has sued PASB for full payment under the CP/MTN arising from a cross-default

    by PASB under its ABBA bonds under Kuala Lumpur High Court Civil Suit No.

    D2-22-1085-2006 (“CP/MTN Suit”). The Trustee was cited as one of 5 co-defendants in the CP/MTN Suit. The claim in the CP/MTN Suit is for RM13

    million or any other sum that the Court deems fit and damages. The other

    defendants in the CP/MTN Suit are the Arranger, PASB’s Chief Executive

    Officer and one of PASB’s  directors. MIDF withdrew its claim against the

    Arranger in November 2014. The Trustee has defended the CP/MTN Suit and

    trial has concluded. On 14 August 2015, the High Court dismissed MIDF’s

    claim against the Trustee (“Dismissal”) and found PASB’s Chief Executive

    Officer and one of PASB’s directors liable for MIDF’s loss. MIDF has filed a

    Notice of Appeal against the Dismissal (“Appeal”). The Appeal is scheduled for

    hearing on 16 March 2016.

    The Trustee has obtained leave of the court to proceed with the actions

    against PASB given that further to an unrelated suit a provisional liquidator

    had been appointed against PASB. The Trustee has also obtained leave of the

    court to proceed with the actions against PASB following the court's order to

    wind-up PASB further to the unrelated suit.

    In any event, any successful claim that may be established against the

    Trustee will be covered by the Trustee’s insurer and/or Malayan Banking

    Berhad as the ultimate holding company of the Trustee. As such, the ABBA

    Suit and the CP/MTN Suit will not materially affect the business or financial

    position of the Trustee.

    3. Several holders of the bonds (“Bondholders”) issued by Aldwich Berhad [In

    Receivership] (“Aldwich”) have sued Aldwich for its failure to settle its

    indebtedness to the Bondholders following the default of the said bonds in

    2010 and cited the Trustee as one of 6 co-defendants under Kuala Lumpur

    High Court Civil Suit No. D-22NCC-1622-11/2012 (“Aldwich Bondholders’

    Suit”). The claim against the Trustee is for the sum of RM177,248,747.31 or

    any other sum that the Court deems fit. The other defendants are the holding

    company of Aldwich, the Chief Executive Officer of the holding company of

    Aldwich, the Security Agent and the Reporting Accountant. The Trustee does

    not admit liability to the Aldwich Bondholders’ Suit and has defended it. Trial

    has concluded and oral submissions are fixed on 17 and 18 February 2016.

    The Aldwich Bondholders’ Suit will not materially affect the business or

    financial position of the Trustee.
