    2.6 Review of the market

    Money Market Review

    During the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meetings in Q1 2015, Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) had decided to maintain the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 3.25 percent. According to Bank Negara, the global economic expansion remains moderate, with divergent growth momentum across economies in the fi rst quarter of 2015. The downside risks to the global economic outlook remained due the weak growth momentum in a number of major economies. The uncertainties in the policy environment are also contributing to the shift in sentiments in the international fi nancial markets.

    While the Malaysian fi nancial markets have been affected by these global developments, there remains ample liquidity in the domestic fi nancial system with continued orderly functioning of the fi nancial markets. The banking institutions are also operating with strong capital and liquidity buffers, and continue to provide fi nancing to the economy.

    As at April 2015, the banking system loan growth banking system loan growth moderated to 8.8% year-on-year in April 2015 compared to 9.2% in March 2015, mainly due to slower business loan growth and household loan growth.

    Malaysia’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) grew to 1.8% year-on-year in April compared to 0.9% in March 2015. Core infl ation advanced to 1.2% year-on-year in April compared to 0.6% in March 2015. 4-Month-2015 average infl ation came in at 1.0% year-on-year versus 3.4% in 4-Month-2014.

    Foreign shareholding in Malaysia’s government securities (MGS) increased to 45.7% in March 2015, compared to 45.1% in February. Foreign holdings of MGS plus Government Islamic Issuance (GII) also rose to 30.0% in March from 29.3% the month before. Corporate bond trading yields also generally fell in April (by 1-4bps), although at a smaller quantum compared to MGS, thus resulting in a slight widening of credit spreads. Trading activity was led by interest on the short and middle part of the credit curve, encompassing Government Guarantee (GG) names as well as AAA and AA rated papers

    2.6 Review of the market (Contd.)

    Money Market Outlook

    BNM reiterates that at the current level, the stance of monetary policy remains accommodative and is assessed to be appropriate given the developments in monetary and fi nancial conditions. There is still ample liquidity in the domestic fi nancial system with continued orderly functioning of the fi nancial markets.

    Infl ation is expected to start trending upwards at a gradual pace. With the implementation of Goods and Service Tax (GST), an oil price at around or more than US$50 per barrel and the weaker ringgit, infl ation should revert to an upward trajectory in 2Q15 though the degree of the rise will depend on oil price fl uctuations in 2H15. However, the rise should be kept in check by the absence of petrol price adjustments in April 2015, the government’s efforts to prevent profi teering from the GST, lower broadband prices and the nationwide campaign to lower the prices of goods with the cooperation of a wide range of retailers and producers.

    Loan growth in 2015 will continue to face headwinds as economic growth remains moderates, with low oil prices and consumer sentiment, both businesses’ and households’ appetite for more debt would stay side line, especially after the implementation of GST.

    Given the moderation in domestic and global growth expectations as well as BNM’s guidance for a steady growth path, we expect OPR to be on hold for the year ahead, although there is some possibility of a rate cut later in the year.

    Over the medium to long term, bond yields are likely to eventually move upward, unless a new crisis surfaces. However, in the short to intermediate term, yields are likely to continue range trading as the global economic growth remains uneven and volatile, coupled with geopolitical tensions and other potential tail-risk events.

    2.7 Income Distribution

    For the fi nancial period under reviewed. The Fund has declared the followings income distribution:

    1 MER is lower against previous fi nancial year as the computation is in respect of

    6 months only.

    2 The lower PTR was due to the fewer rebalancing trades, as the Fund maintained high cash levels to accommodate fund fl ows during the fi nancial period under review.

    * Based on bid price fair valuation method on all investments held by the Fund as at 30 April 2015, the NAV and NAV per unit would be RM30.45 million and RM0.9954 respectively.

    6.5 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL PERIOD ENDED 30 APRIL 2015 (unaudited)

    1. THE FUND, THE MANAGER AND THEIR PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

    Kenanga Cash Plus Fund (“the Fund”) was constituted pursuant to the executed Deed dated 29 August 2006 (collectively, together with deeds supplemental thereto, referred to as “the Deed”) between the Manager, Kenanga Funds Berhad, and CIMB Commerce Trustee Berhad (“the Trustee”). The Fund commenced operations on 26 October 2006 and will continue to be in operation until terminated by the Trustee as provided under Clause 37 of the Deed.

    Pursuant to the executed First Supplemental Deed dated 15 May 2013 between Kenanga Investors Berhad and CIMB Commerce Trustee Berhad, Kenanga Investors Berhad was appointed as the Manager of the Fund with effect from 8 June 2013.

    Kenanga Investors Berhad is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad, which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of K&N Kenanga Holdings Berhad, listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. All of these companies are incorporated in Malaysia.

    The principal place of business of the Manager is Suite 12.02, 12th Floor, Kenanga International, Jalan Sultan Ismail, 50250 Kuala Lumpur.

    The Fund seeks to provide investors a regular stream of income through investments in short to medium term fi xed income instruments with high level of liquidity. To achieve the objective of the Fund, it will invest in high quality short to medium term fi xed income instruments with minimum credit ratings of A3 or P2 (by RAM) or equivalent rating by other recognized rating agencies.

    The unaudited fi nancial statements were authorised for issue by the Chief Executive Offi cer of the Manager on 23 June 2015.

    2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

    The Fund is exposed to a variety of risks including market risk (which includes interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Whilst these are the most important types of fi nancial risks inherent in each type of fi nancial instruments, the Manager and the Trustee would like to highlight that this list does not purport to constitute an exhaustive list of all the risks inherent in an investment in the Fund.

    The Fund has an approved set of investment guidelines and policies as well as internal controls which sets out its overall business strategies to manage these risks to optimise returns and preserve capital for the unitholders, consistent with the long term objectives of the Fund.

  • 16Kenanga Cash Plus Fund Interim Report

    2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTD.) a. Market Risk Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash fl ows of a fi nancial asset

    at FVTPL will fl uctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk includes interest rate risk.

    Market risk arises when the value of the fi nancial instruments fl uctuates in response to the activities of individual companies, general market or economic conditions. It stems from the fact that there are economy-wide perils, which threaten all businesses. Hence, investors are exposed to market uncertainties. Fluctuation in the investments’ valuation caused by uncertainties in the economic, political and social environment will affect the NAV of the Fund.

    The Manager manages the risk of unfavorable changes in prices by cautious review of the investments and continuous monitoring of their performance and risk profi les.

    i. Interest rate risk

    The risk refers to how the changes in the interest rate environment would affect the performance of the Fund’s investments. Rates offered by the fi nancial institutions will fl uctuate according to the Overnight Policy Rate determined by Bank Negara Malaysia and this has direct correlation with the Fund’s investments in unquoted corporate bonds, commercial papers and deposits.

    The Fund’s exposure to the interest rate risk is mainly confi ned to unquoted corporate bonds and commercial papers.

    Interest rate risk sensitivity

    The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Fund’s profi t for the period to a reasonably possible change in rate of return, with all other variables held constant:

    Effect on profi t Changes in rate for the period Increase/(Decrease) Increase/(Decrease) Basis points RM

    In practice, the actual trading results may differ from the sensitivity analysis above and the difference could be material.

    2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTD.) b. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a fi nancial instrument will cause a

    fi nancial loss to the Fund by failing to discharge an obligation. The Manager manages the credit risk by undertaking credit evaluation to minimise such risk.

    i. Credit risk exposure

    As at the reporting date, the Fund’s maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each class of fi nancial asset recognised in the statement of fi nancial position.

    ii. Financial assets that are either past due or impaired

    As at the reporting date, there are no fi nancial assets that are either past due or impaired.

    iii. Credit quality of fi nancial assets

    The Fund invests only in unquoted corporate bonds and commercial papers with at least investment grade credit rating by a credit rating agency. The following table analyses the Fund’s portfolio of unquoted corporate bonds and commercial papers by rating category:

    c. Liquidity Risk

    Liquidity risk is defi ned as the risk that the Fund will encounter diffi culty in meeting obligations associated with fi nancial liabilities that are to be settled by delivering cash or another fi nancial asset. Exposure to liquidity risk arises because of the possibility that the Fund could be required to pay its liabilities or cancel its units earlier than expected. The Fund is exposed to cancellation of its units on a regular basis. Units sold to unitholders by the Manager are cancellable at the unitholder’s option based on the Fund’s NAV per unit at the time of cancellation calculated in accordance with the Deed.

    The liquid assets comprise cash, deposits with licensed fi nancial institutions and other instruments, which are capable of being converted into cash within 7 days.

    The following table analyses the maturity profi le of the Fund’s fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities in order to provide a complete view of the Fund’s contractual commitments and liquidity.

    2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTD.) c. Liquidity Risk (Contd.)

    i) Financial assets

    Analysis of fi nancial assets at FVTPL into maturity groupings is based on the expected date on which these assets will be realised. For other assets, the analysis into maturity groupings is based on the remaining period from the end of the reporting period to the contractual maturity date or if earlier, the expected date on which the assets will be realised.

    ii) Financial liabilities

    The maturity grouping is based on the remaining period from the end of the reporting period to the contractual maturity date or if earlier, the date on which liabilities will be settled. When the counterparty has a choice of when the amount is paid, the liability is allocated to the earliest period in which the Fund can be required to pay.

    iii) Equity

    As unitholders can request for redemption of their units, they have been categorised as having a maturity of “up to 1 year”. As a result, it appears that the Fund has a liquidity gap within “up to 1 year”. However, the Fund believes that it would be able to liquidate its investments should the need arises to satisfy all the redemption requirements.

    3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    a. Basis of Accounting

    MFRS 9 replaces MFRS 139 on the following requirements: classifi cation and measurement of fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities as defi ned in MFRS 139, impairment methodology and hedge accounting. The Fund is in the process of making an assessment of the impact of this Standard.

  • 23 Kenanga Cash Plus Fund Interim Report

    3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)

    c. Financial Assets

    Financial assets are classifi ed as fi nancial assets at FVTPL if they are held for trading or are designated as such upon initial recognition.

    When fi nancial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of fi nancial assets not at FVTPL, directly attributable transaction costs.

    The Fund determines the classifi cation of its fi nancial assets at initial recognition.

    i. Financial assets at FVTPL

    Financial assets are classifi ed as fi nancial assets at FVTPL if they are held for trading or are designated as such upon initial recognition.

    Financial assets held for trading include unquoted corporate bonds and commercial papers acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term.

    Subsequent to initial recognition, fi nancial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of those fi nancial instruments are recorded in profi t or loss.

    Interest earned elements of such instruments are recorded in “interest income”.

    ii. Receivables

    Financial assets with fi xed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classifi ed as receivables.

    Subsequent to initial recognition, receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gain or loss is recognised in profi t or loss when the receivable is derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.

    A fi nancial asset is derecognised when the contractual right to receive cash fl ows from the asset has expired. On derecognition of a fi nancial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received is recognised in profi t or loss.

  • 24Kenanga Cash Plus Fund Interim Report

    3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)

    d. Impairment of Financial Assets

    The Fund assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a fi nancial asset is impaired.

    To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on fi nancial assets has been incurred; the Fund considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or signifi cant fi nancial diffi culties of the debtor and default or signifi cant delay in payments.

    If any such evidence exists, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash fl ows discounted at the fi nancial asset’s original effective rate of return. The impairment loss is recognised in profi t or loss.

    The carrying amount of the fi nancial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all fi nancial assets, with the exception of receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a receivable becomes uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account.

    If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the assets does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in profi t or loss.

    e. Income

    Income is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefi ts will fl ow to the Fund and the income can be reliably measured. Income is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable.

    Interest income, which includes the accretion of discount and amortisation of premium on fi xed income securities, is recognised using the effective interest method.

    The realised gain or loss on sale of investments is measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the investment.

    f. Cash and Cash Equivalents

    For the purposes of the statement of cash fl ows, cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and short term deposits with licensed fi nancial institutions.

    g. Income Tax

    Income tax on the profi t or loss for the fi nancial period comprises current tax. Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profi t for the fi nancial period.

    3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)

    h. Unrealised Reserves

    Unrealised reserves represent the net gain or loss arising from carrying investments at their fair values at reporting date. This reserve is not distributable.

    i. Financial Liabilities

    Financial liabilities are classifi ed according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the defi nitions of a fi nancial liability.

    Financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of fi nancial position when, and only when, the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the fi nancial instrument. The Fund’s fi nancial liabilities are classifi ed as other fi nancial liabilities. The Fund’s fi nancial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

    A fi nancial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished. Gains and losses are recognised in profi t or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process.

    j. Unitholders’ Contribution – NAV Attributable to Unitholders

    The unitholders’ contribution to the Fund is classifi ed as equity instruments. Distribution equalisation represents the average amount of undistributed net income

    included in the creation or cancellation price of units. This amount is either refunded to unitholders by way of distribution and/or adjusted accordingly when units are released back to the Trustee.

    k. Functional and Presentation Currency The fi nancial statements of the Fund are measured using the currency of the primary

    economic environment in which the Fund operates (“the functional currency”). The fi nancial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is also the Fund’s functional currency.

    l. Distribution

    Distributions are at the discretion of the Manager. A distribution to the Fund’s unitholders is accounted for as a deduction from retained earnings.

    3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)

    m. Signifi cant Accounting Judgments and Estimates

    The preparation of fi nancial statements requires the use of certain accounting estimates and exercise of judgment. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on past experience, reasonable expectations of future events and other factors.

    i. Critical judgments made in applying accounting policies

    There are no major judgments made by the Manager in applying the Fund’s accounting policies.

    ii. Key sources of estimation uncertainty

    There are no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a signifi cant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next fi nancial period.
