3.1.2 FUND’S PERFORMANCE MEASURED AGAINST BENCHMARK Fund‟s performance measured against benchmark FBM Small Cap

Shariah Index (FBM SCSI) since its commencement is as follows:-

3.2 ANALYSIS OF FUND’S PERFORMANCE BASED ON NAV PER UNIT

For the period under review ended 31 July 2018, NAV per unit decreased

by RM0.1056 or -17.37% to RM0.5024 (CD) from RM0.6080 (XD) at 31 July

3.3 POLICY AND INVESTMENT STRATEGY The Fund shall invest between 50% and 99.5% in a diversified portfolio of Shariah-compliant equity securities of small-sized companies on Bursa

Malaysia with market capitalization of at least RM250 million but not more

than RM1 billion (at the point of acquisition). However the Fund may invest

up to 20% of its NAV in securities of companies with market capitalization

in excess of RM1 billion but not more than RM7 billion (at the point of

acquisition). The Fund will focus its investments on companies with growth

prospects in medium to long term horizon, reasonably good earnings, quality management and good corporate governance, as analysed by the Manager. In view of the Fund‟s objective, the designated fund manager will trade the securities depending on the securities market conditions.

3.4 ALLOTMENT OF FUND ASSETS (CONT.)

3.5 ECONOMIC REVIEW

The Malaysian economy grew by 4.5% in the second quarter (“2Q”) of 2018. Private sector activity continued to be the primary driver of growth

as both private consumption and investment expanded strongly during the quarter. On the supply side, growth was affected by commodity-specific shocks. Growth in the mining sector contracted due mainly to unplanned

supply outages, while the agriculture sector was affected by production constraints and adverse weather conditions. Nevertheless, major economic sectors, notably the services and manufacturing sectors,

remained supportive of growth. On a quarter-on-quarter seasonally-adjusted basis, the economy grew by 0.3% (1Q 2018: 1.4%).

Headline inflation declined to 1.3% in 2Q 2018 (1Q 2018: 1.8%), mainly reflecting the zerorisation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate. The impact from the GST zerorisation, however, was offset by higher transport

inflation. Nevertheless, the fixing of RON95 fuel price since 22 March 2018 helped to contain further increase in fuel inflation during the quarter.

>>> ANNUAL REPORT - PMB SHARIAH SMALL-CAP FUND >>>

(12)

3.5 ECONOMIC REVIEW (CONT.) Growth is expected to be sustained, supported mainly by private sector activity. Positive labour market conditions and capacity expansion will continue to support robust private consumption and investment respectively. While headline inflation is projected to moderate, the extent of the moderation would depend on the pass-through from changes in the consumption tax policy. Underlying inflation, which excludes the impact of changes in the consumption tax policy, is expected to remain relatively stable in the coming quarters supported by sustained private sector spending. Malaysia‟s macroeconomic fundamentals remain strong, and thus provides the country with the requisite buffers to effectively manage potential shocks to the economy.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Growth For Second Quarter 2018

Inflation Overall, inflation went up by 2.6% for 12-month period ending June 2018 compared to 2.7% growth during the same period in the preceding year. The growth was supported by the increase in transport (+6.6%) and food & non-alcoholic beverages (+3.3%).

Industrial Production Index (IPI) IPI increased marginally by 1.1% in June 2018 as compared with the same month of the previous year. The growth in June 2018 was supported by an increase in the index of manufacturing (4.5%) and the index of electricity (3.0%). Meanwhile, the index of mining recorded a decline of 9.4%.

Balance of Trade For 12-month period ending June 2018, trade surplus stood at RM114.9 billion, an expansion of RM26.4 billion (+29.9%) when compared to the same period a year ago. Total trade for 12-month period ending June 2018, which was valued at RM1,819.1 billion, went up by RM179.3 billion (+10.9%) when compared to the same period a year ago. For the same period, total export grew 11.9% to RM967.0 billion while total import grew 9.9% to RM852.1 billion.

3.6 EQUITY MARKET REVIEW For the year ending 31 July 2018, the benchmark, that is, the FBM Small Cap Shariah Index (FBM SCSI), fell -2,779.55 points or -17.47% to

13,133.81 whereas the main benchmark of Bursa Malaysia, that is the FBM KLCI, increased 24.22 points or 1.38% to 1,784.25.

During that period, the FBM SCSI recorded its highest level of 16,316.91

on 8 January 2018 and its lowest level of 12,055.68 on 11 July 2018. Meanwhile, the FBM KLCI recorded its highest level of 1,895.18 on 19 April

2018 and its lowest level of 1,663.86 was recorded on 6 July 2018. The movement range for the FBM SCSI during that period is 4,261.23 points as

compared to 3,286.75 points during the same period of the previous year.

In the period reviewed, the local stock market appeared to be in a

consolidation mode by the middle of the third quarter of 2017 although the published local economic data was much better than expected. This was

due to the unexpectedly poor financial performance of Bursa Malaysia‟s listed companies in the second quarter of 2017. This situation was

aggravated by global geopolitical instability due to a dispute between the world‟s two major nuclear powers, as well as the tendency of the United

States to raise interest rates at a faster pace following the anticipated continuous recovery of the nation‟s economic momentum. These issues

have raised an uncertainty in the stock market and caused foreign investors to reduce their weightage in the local stock market with a net

foreign outflow of RM558.5 million in the third quarter of 2017.

Foreign investors continued their selling spree in the Malaysian stock

market throughout October 2017 and November 2017, with a net outflow of RM241.7 million following an unfavourable Chinese economic data.

Since Malaysia is dependent on trade with China, as suggested by the fact that 16.3% of total trade in the first eleven months of 2017 was with China,

any indications of the latter‟s economic downturn may heighten concerns among investors over the sustainability of Malaysia‟s economic growth.

The withdrawal of foreign funds in October and November 2017 also appeared to be in “profit taking” nature following the strengthening of the

Malaysian Ringgit. Over the eleven-month period ending 30 November 2017, the exchange rate of Malaysian Ringgit against US Dollar had

increased by 4.7%.

By December 2017, the local stock market went up gradually as a foreign

investors re-enter the local stock bourse with net foreign inflow totalling RM959.9 million. The recovery of local bourse in the final week of 2017

was also due to “window dressing” activities. Continuous foreign inflow throughout January, with net inflow RM3.3 billion, had caused the local

stock market soaring to its 3-year high.

>>> ANNUAL REPORT - PMB SHARIAH SMALL-CAP FUND >>>

(14)

3.6 EQUITY MARKET REVIEW (CONT.) However, this situation changed throughout February and March 2018 as investors turned cautious due to a declining US market and the uncertainty

about monetary policy that will be handled by the new chairman of US Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell. These issues did not only upset the local

stock market, but they also affected the regional market as well. The situation was further exacerbated by trade war between the United States

and China which was fuelled by the desire of the two global economic giants to cripple each other‟s economy. Investors also continued to be

wary throughtout April 2018 after the dissolution of the Malaysian Parliament due to the uncertainties surrounding country‟s leadership.

Following the surprise victory of Pakatan Harapan in the 14th General

Elections held on 9 May 2018, the FBM SCSI and FBMSHA plummeted to

theirs lowest level of 12,055.68 (11 July 2018) and 11,888.56 (28 June 2018) respectively against 13,152.25 (FBM SCSI) and 13,075.36 (FBMSHA)

level recorded on 8 May 2018. The 8.3% and 9.1% drop were driven by stock market sell-off by foreign investors with total net foreign outflow of

RM9.6 billion. Gradual improvement was seen in the stock market throughout July 2018, with a month-to-month increase of 6.5%, 5.9% and

5.5% respectively for the FBM SCSI, FBMSHA and FBM KLCI, driven by firm support from institutional and retail investors, since, technically, the market

was in oversold position as at early July.

In this volatile market sentiment, based on Lipper, the Fund NAV per unit

fell by 17.37% for the year ended 31 July 2018.

3.7 MONEY MARKET REVIEW Throughout one year period ending 31 July 2018, the Monetary Policy

Committee (MPC) of Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) decided to increase the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) by 25 basis points to 3.25% on 25 January

2018 and maintain the rate at 3.25% during the meeting held on 7 March 2018, 10 May 2018 and 11 July 2018.

According to BNM, the global economy continues to expand albeit with

some divergence across economies while global trade sustained its

growth momentum. In the advanced economies, rising income and policy support, particularly in the US, will continue to drive growth. Growth in

Asia will be supported by sustained domestic activity and external demand. However, the balance of risks to the outlook has tilted to the

downside. The intensification of global trade tensions could affect sentiments and weigh on trade, investment and consumption. Coupled

with ongoing monetary policy normalization in the advanced economies, shifting investor expectations and sentiments could lead to further capital

outflows and financial market adjustments in some emerging economies.

>>> ANNUAL REPORT - PMB SHARIAH SMALL-CAP FUND >>>

(15)

3.7 MONEY MARKET REVIEW (CONT.) The Malaysian economy continued to expand in the first half of 2018, supported by private sector activity with additional impetus from net

exports. The positive growth performance is expected to be sustained, driven by both domestic and external demand. Private consumption will

be underpinned by continued wage and employment growth, with an additional lift from higher household spending due to the tax holiday.

Investment activity is projected to be supported by capacity expansion mainly in the export-oriented industries and ongoing infrastructure

projects, particularly in the transport and utilities sub-sectors. The external sector will continue to benefit from the sustained global growth

momentum. The growth outlook will be further supported with greater

certainty in domestic policy in the coming months. Overall, the Malaysian economy is expected to remain on a steady growth path.

Headline inflation for 2018 is projected to be lower than earlier forecast

taking into consideration the impact of recent policy measures on domestic cost factors. The impact of these measures on inflation, however, is

transitory. Headline inflation is likely to turn negative in some months and remain low in the first half of 2019 before trending upwards as these

transitory effects lapse. Core inflation is nevertheless expected to remain relatively stable in line with sustained domestic demand.

The positive domestic economic outlook, sound financial sector and improving current account surplus of the balance of payments will continue

to support Malaysia‟s fundamentals. Domestic financial markets have remained resilient despite non-resident portfolio outflows. The Malaysian

Ringgit exchange rate would be more reflective of the underlying fundamentals of the economy when the external and domestic

uncertainties recede. Notwithstanding the heightened financial market volatility, the domestic monetary and financial conditions remain

supportive of economic growth. BNM‟s monetary operations continue to ensure sufficient liquidity to support the orderly functioning of money and

foreign exchange markets and intermediation activity.

At the current level of the OPR, the degree of monetary

accommodativeness is consistent with the intended policy stance. The

MPC will continue to monitor and assess the balance of risks surrounding

the outlook for domestic growth and inflation.

3.4 PERUMPUKAN ASET-ASET DANA (SAMB.)

3.5 SUASANA EKONOMI NEGARA Keluaran Dalam Negara Kasar (KDNK) berkembang 4.5% pada suku

kedua 2018. Aktiviti sektor swasta terus menjadi pemacu utama

pertumbuhan ekonomi negara berikutan pengembangan kukuh dalam penggunaan dan pelaburan swasta pada suku tersebut. Dari segi penawaran, pertumbuhan telah terjejas oleh kejutan berkaitan komoditi. Sektor perlombongan merosot disebabkan terutamanya oleh gangguan

bekalan yang tidak dijangka, manakala sektor pertanian mengalami kekangan pengeluaran dan keadaan cuaca yang buruk. Namun, sektor-sektor ekonomi utama, khususnya sektor perkhidmatan dan perkilangan, terus menyokong pertumbuhan. Pada asas suku tahunan terlaras secara

bermusim, ekonomi negara meningkat 0.3% (S1 2018: 1.4%). Inflasi keseluruhan menurun kepada 1.3% pada suku kedua 2018 (S1 2018: 1.8%), mencerminkan terutamanya kesan daripada pelaksanaan

kadar GST sifar. Walau bagaimanapun, impak pelaksanaan GST sifar ini

telah diimbangi oleh inflasi pengangkutan yang lebih tinggi. Namun,

langkah menetapkan harga runcit petrol RON95 sejak 22 Mac 2018 telah

membantu membendung inflasi bahan api daripada terus meningkat pada suku tersebut.

3.5 SUASANA EKONOMI NEGARA (SAMB.) Pertumbuhan dijangka mampan, disokong terutamanya oleh aktiviti sektor swasta. Keadaan pasaran pekerja yang positif dan pengembangan

kapasiti pengeluaran masing-masing akan terus menyokong penggunaan swasta dan pelaburan yang teguh. Meskipun inflasi keseluruhan diunjurkan sederhana, namun takat penurunannya akan bergantung pada kesan pindahan berikutan perubahan dasar cukai penggunaan. Inflasi

asas, yang tidak mengambil kira kesan perubahan dasar cukai penggunaan, dijangka kekal stabil secara relatif pada suku-suku akan datang melalui sokongan perbelanjaan sektor swasta yang mampan. Asas-asas makroekonomi Malaysia terus teguh lantas menyediakan

penampan yang diperlukan untuk menguruskan secara berkesan kemungkinan kejutan terhadap ekonomi.

Pertumbuhan Keluaran Dalam Negara Kasar Malaysia (KDNK) Untuk Suku Kedua 2018

Inflasi Secara keseluruhannya, inflasi berkembang sebanyak 2.6% untuk tempoh 12-bulan berakhir Jun 2018 berbanding 2.7% untuk tempoh yang sama tahun sebelumnya. Peningkatan inflasi dipacu oleh kenaikan dalam kumpulan

pengangkutan (+6.6%) dan makanan dan minuman bukan alkohol (+3.3%).

Indeks Pengeluaran Perindustrian (IPP) IPP meningkat sebanyak 1.1% pada bulan Jun 2018 berbanding bulan yang sama

tahun sebelumnya. Peningkatan pada bulan Jun 2018 disokong oleh pertumbuhan dalam indeks pembuatan (4.5%) dan elektrik (3.0%). Manakala, indeks perlombongan mencatatkan penyusutan sebanyak 9.4%.

3.5 SUASANA EKONOMI NEGARA (SAMB.) Perdagangan Luar Negara Untuk tempoh 12-bulan berakhir Jun 2018, imbangan dagangan Malaysia

mencatatkan kenaikan sebanyak 29.9%, mencecah nilai RM114.9 bilion. Jumlah perdagangan untuk tempoh 12 bulan berakhir Jun 2018 bernilai RM1,819.1 bilion

berbanding RM1,639.9 bilion yang dicatatkan dalam tempoh yang sama tahun

lepas. Untuk tempoh yang sama, jumlah eksport berkembang sebanyak 11.9%, mencecah nilai RM967.0 bilion manakala jumlah import berkembang sebanyak

9.9%, mencecah nilai RM852.1 bilion.

3.6 SUASANA BURSA SAHAM TEMPATAN SEMASA

Bagi tempoh setahun berakhir 31 Julai 2018, penanda aras iaitu FBM Small Cap Shariah Index (FBM SCSI) menyusut 2,779.55 mata atau

-17.47% kepada 13,133.81 manakala penanda aras utama Bursa Malaysia iaitu FBM KLCI meningkat 24.22 mata atau 1.38% kepada

1,784.25.

Bagi tempoh tersebut, FBM SCSI mencatat paras tertinggi 16,316.91 pada

8 Januari 2018 dan paras terendah 12,055.68 pada 11 Julai 2018. Sementara itu, FBM KLCI mencatat paras tertinggi 1,895.18 pada 19 April

2018 manakala paras terendah pula ialah 1,663.86 yang dicatat pada 06 Julai 2018. Julat pergerakan FBM SCSI untuk tempoh tersebut ialah

4,261.23 mata berbanding 3,286.75 mata pada tempoh yang sama tahun sebelumnya.

Dalam tempoh kajian, pasaran saham tempatan kelihatan berada di dalam

mod konsolidasi menjelang pertengahan suku ketiga 2017 walaupun data-data ekonomi tempatan yang diumumkan lebih baik dari jangkaan. Hal ini

disebabkan oleh keputusan kewangan syarikat-syarikat tersenarai di

Bursa Malaysia untuk suku kedua 2017 tampil kurang baik dari jangkaan.

Situasi ini diburukkan lagi oleh ketidakstabilan geopolitik dunia ekoran dari ketidaksefahaman di antara dua pemimpin kuasa nuklear besar dunia

serta kecenderungan Amerika Syarikat untuk meningkatkan kadar faedah pada kadar yang lebih cepat berikutan momentum ekonomi Amerika

Syarikat yang dijangka akan terus beransur pulih. Hal-hal ini telah meningkatkan kadar ketidakpastian dalam pasaran saham dan telah

menyebabkan pelabur asing mula mengurangkan wajaran di dalam pasaran saham tempatan dengan jumlah pengaliran keluar bersih dana

sebanyak RM558.5 juta sepanjang suku ketiga 2017.

Pelabur asing terus menerus mengurangkan wajaran di dalam pasaran

saham Malaysia sepanjang Oktober 2017 dan November 2017 dengan jumlah pengeluaran bersih sebanyak RM241.7 juta ekoran dari data-data

ekonomi negara China yang kurang memberangsangkan.

>>> ANNUAL REPORT - PMB SHARIAH SMALL-CAP FUND >>>

(22)

3.6 SUASANA BURSA SAHAM TEMPATAN SEMASA (SAMB.) Lantaran dari kebergantungan perdagangan Malaysia terhadap China di mana 16.3% daripada jumlah perdagangan sepanjang sebelas bulan

pertama 2017 adalah dengan China, sebarang tanda-tanda kelembapan ekonomi China boleh meningkatkan kerisauan pelabur-pelabur terhadap

kesinambungan pertumbuhan ekonomi Malaysia. Pengeluaran dana asing sepanjang Oktober dan November 2017 juga kelihatan lebih bersifat

“pengambilan untung” ekoran dari pengukuhan Ringgit Malaysia. Sepanjang tempoh sebelas bulan berakhir 30 November 2017, kadar

tukaran matawang Ringgit Malaysia berbanding US Dollar telah meningkat sebanyak 4.7%.

Menjelang bulan Disember 2017, pasaran saham tempatan kelihatan

meningkat secara berkala ekoran dari kemasukan semula pelabur-pelabur

asing ke pasaran saham tempatan dengan jumlah kemasukan bersih sebanyak RM959.9 juta. Keadaan pasaran saham juga kembali pulih

menjelang minggu terakhir 2017 lantaran dari aktiviti “menghias akaun”. Pelabur-pelabur asing kelihatan terus menerus masuk ke pasaran saham

tempatan sepanjang bulan Januari 2018 dengan jumlah kemasukan bersih sebanyak RM3.3 bilion. Keaktifan pelabur asing di pasaran saham

sepanjang bulan Januari telah menyebabkan pasaran saham tempatan meningkat ke paras tertinggi yang pernah dicapai lebih 3 tahun yang lalu.

Namun demikian, keadaan ini berubah sepanjang bulan Februari dan Mac

2018 di mana kemerosotan pasaran Amerika Syarikat serta ketidak

pastian terhadap dasar monetari yang akan diambil oleh pengerusi baru Rizab Persekutuan Amerika Syarikat, Jerome Powell, telah menyebabkan

pelabur berada dalam keadaan berjaga-jaga. Hal ini bukan sahaja mendatangkan masalah di pasaran saham tempatan, malah pasaran

serantau juga berhadapan dengan masalah yang sama. Keadaan ini ditambah burukkan lagi oleh perang perdagangan di antara Amerika

Syarikat dan China di mana kedua-dua kuasa ekonomi besar dunia kelihatan bersaing untuk melumpuhkan ekonomi satu sama lain. Pelabur

kelihatan terus berada dalam keadaan berjaga-jaga sepanjang bulan April 2018 setelah Parlimen Malaysia dibubarkan ekoran daripada

ketidakpastian terhadap kesinambungan tampuk kepimpinan negara. Berikutan kemenangan mengejut Pakatan Harapan di dalam Pilihan Raya

Umum ke-14 yang berlangsung pada 9 Mei 2018, Indeks FBM SCSI dan Indeks FBMSHA masing-masing menurun kepada paras terendah

12,055.68 (11 Julai 2018) dan 11,888.56 (28 Jun 2018) berbanding paras 13,152.25 (FBM SCSI) dan 13,075.36 (FBMSHA) yang dicatatkan pada 8

Mei 2018. Penurunan sebanyak 8.3% dan 9.1% itu didorong oleh jualan pelabur-pelabur asing dengan jumlah pengeluaran bersih sebanyak

RM9.6 bilion. Keadaan pasaran saham kelihatan beransur pulih sepanjang bulan Julai 2018, dengan peningkatan bulan-ke-bulan

sebanyak 6.5%, 5.9% dan 5.5% masing-masing bagi FBM SCSI, FBMSHA dan FBM KLCI, di dorong oleh sokongan dari pelabur-pelabur institusi dan

runcit apabila secara teknikal pasaran berada di dalam keadaan terlebih

jual (“oversold”) pada awal bulan Julai.

Dalam keadaan pasaran yang tidak menentu ini, berdasarkan sumber Lipper, NAB seunit Dana menyusut 17.37% bagi tempoh setahun berakhir

31 Julai 2018.

3.7 SUASANA PASARAN WANG TEMPATAN SEMASA Dalam tempoh setahun berakhir 31 Julai 2018, Jawatankuasa Dasar Monetari (Monetary Policy Committee, MPC) Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM)

membuat keputusan untuk menaikkan Kadar Dasar Semalaman (Overnight Policy Rate, OPR) kepada kadar 3.25% setahun pada 25

Januari 2018 dan mengekalkan kadar yang sama di mesyuarat yang berlangsung pada 7 Mac 2018, 10 Mei 2018 dan 11 Julai 2018.

Menurut BNM, ekonomi dunia terus berkembang dan momentum

pertumbuhan perdagangan global kekal kukuh walaupun prestasi pertumbuhan yang berbeza merentas negara. Peningkatan pendapatan

dan sokongan dasar di negara-negara maju, khususnya di Amerika Syarikat, akan terus memacu pertumbuhan. Pertumbuhan di Asia akan

disokong oleh aktiviti dalam negara dan permintaan luar negara yang

kukuh. Walau bagaimanapun, terdapat perkembangan yang menunjukkan risiko terhadap prospek pertumbuhan. Ketegangan perdagangan global

yang semakin ketara boleh mempengaruhi sentimen dan memberikan kesan terhadap perdagangan, pelaburan dan penggunaan. Tambahan

lagi, berikutan langkah negara-negara maju mengembalikan dasar monetari ke tahap yang wajar, jangkaan dan sentimen pelabur yang

berubah-ubah boleh mengakibatkan aliran keluar modal yang berterusan dan pelarasan pasaran kewangan dalam beberapa ekonomi sedang pesat

membangun.

Ekonomi Malaysia terus berkembang pada separuh tahun pertama 2018,

disokong oleh aktiviti sektor swasta serta rangsangan tambahan daripada eksport bersih. Prestasi pertumbuhan yang positif dijangka terus mampan,

didorong oleh permintaan dalam dan luar negara. Penggunaan swasta akan disokong oleh peningkatan yang berterusan dalam upah dan guna

tenaga, dengan sokongan tambahan daripada perbelanjaan isi rumah yang lebih tinggi ekoran kelepasan cukai. Aktiviti pelaburan dijangka

mendapat sokongan daripada penambahan kapasiti pengeluaran, terutamanya oleh industri berorientasikan eksport dan projek infrastruktur

yang sedang dilaksanakan khususnya dalam subsektor pengangkutan dan utiliti. Sektor luaran akan terus mendapat manfaat daripada momentum

pertumbuhan global yang terus mampan. Prospek pertumbuhan negara akan menjadi bertambah baik apabila dasar dalam negara yang semakin

jelas pada bulan-bulan yang akan datang. Secara keseluruhan, ekonomi

Malaysia dijangka terus berada pada landasan pertumbuhan yang kukuh.

Inflasi keseluruhan bagi tahun 2018 dijangka lebih rendah daripada unjuran yang dibuat sebelum ini selepas mengambil kira kesan langkah-

langkah dasar baru-baru ini terhadap faktor kos domestik. Walau bagaimanapun, kesan langkah-langkah tersebut ke atas inflasi dijangka

bersifat sementara. Inflasi keseluruhan mungkin mencatat pertumbuhan negatif dalam beberapa bulan dan kekal rendah pada separuh pertama

tahun 2019 sebelum meningkat semula berikutan luputnya kesan faktor-faktor sementara ini. Namun begitu, inflasi teras dijangka kekal stabil

secara relatif, sejajar dengan permintaan dalam negara yang mampan.

3.7 SUASANA PASARAN WANG TEMPATAN SEMASA (SAMB.) Prospek ekonomi dalam negara yang positif, sektor kewangan yang teguh dan lebihan akaun semasa imbangan pembayaran yang semakin

meningkat akan terus menyokong asas-asas ekonomi Malaysia. Pasaran kewangan domestik kekal berdaya tahan meskipun terdapat aliran keluar

portfolio bukan pemastautin. Kadar pertukaran Ringgit Malaysia akan lebih mencerminkan asas-asas ekonomi apabila ketidakpastian luaran dan

domestik berkurang. Meskipun terdapat volatiliti pasaran kewangan yang ketara, keadaan monetari dan kewangan domestik terus menyokong

pertumbuhan ekonomi. Operasi monetari BNM terus memastikan bahawa terdapat mudah tunai yang mencukupi bagi menyokong pasaran wang

dan pertukaran asing serta aktiviti pengantaraan untuk berfungsi dengan teratur.

Pada kadar semasa OPR, tahap akomodatif dasar monetari adalah sejajar dengan pendirian dasar yang ditetapkan. MPC akan terus memantau dan

menilai imbangan risiko berhubung dengan prospek pertumbuhan domestik dan inflasi.

3.8 PENGAGIHAN PENDAPATAN/TERBITAN UNIT PECAHAN Tiada pengagihan pendapatan dan/atau terbitan unit pecahan

dicadangkan bagi tempoh kewangan berakhir 31 Julai 2018.

3.9 KEPENTINGAN PEMEGANG-PEMEGANG UNIT Sepanjang tempoh kajian, tiada sebarang kejadian yang menjejaskan

kepentingan Pemegang-Pemegang Unit selain daripada urusniaga-urusniaga yang dijalankan selaras dengan Suratikatan Amanah,

Garispanduan Tabung Unit Amanah, Akta Pasaran Modal dan Perkhidmatan 2007 dan undang-undang lain yang berkuatkuasa.

In our opinion, the Fund‟s financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Fund as at 31 July 2018 and of its financial performance,

changes in equity and cash flows for the financial year ended 31 July 2018 in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (MFRSs) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). We also verified the

computation of the Management Expenses Ratio and Portfolio Turnover Ratio as disclosed in notes 16 and 17 of the financial statements are reasonable. The schedule have been drawn primarily from the accounting records and other records of the Fund which have been subjected to tests and other audit procedures during our review of the Fund‟s financial statements for the financial

year ended 31 July 2018. In our opinion, the informations as a whole, have been presented fairly if deemed in all respects in respect of the financial statements. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors‟ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We believe that the audit

evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Independence and Other Ethical Responsibilities We are independent of the Fund in accordance with the By-Laws of the Malaysian

for Accountants‟ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“IESBA Code”) and

Auditors’ Report to the Unitholders of PMB SHARIAH SMALL-CAP FUND (CONT.) Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon

In connection with our audit of the financial statements of the Fund, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements of the

Fund or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material

misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Manager for the Financial Statements

The Manager of the Fund is responsible for the preparation of financial statements of the Fund that give a true and fair view in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the Securities Commission‟s Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds in

Malaysia. The Manager is also responsible for such internal control as the Manager determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements of the Fund that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Trustee is responsible for ensuring that the Manager maintains proper

accounting and other records as are necessary to enable true and fair presentation of these financial statements. Auditors’ Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements of the Fund as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors‟ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an

audit conducted in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be

expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia

and International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial

statements of the Fund, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that

is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal

control.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2018

1. THE FUND, THE MANAGER AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

PMB SHARIAH SMALL-CAP FUND is managed by PMB INVESTMENT

BERHAD, was launched on 16 May 2016 as stated in the Master Deed dated on 28 July 2015 and has been registered with Securities Commission of Malaysia on 6 April 2016. This Fund started its operation

on 6 June 2016 and will continue to operate until it is terminated or dissolved in accordance with the provisions of the Deed of Trust and the Capital Market and Services Act 2007.

The main activities of PMB SHARIAH SMALL-CAP FUND is marketable securities transaction in which the investment is made in the “Permitted

Investments” as defined under Clause 1 of the Deed of Trust and subject to approval by the Securities Commission of Malaysia and in accordance with Shariah Principles from time to time. This includes securities listed on

Bursa Malaysia and in money market instruments approved by the Shariah Principles.

The Manager is a company incorporated in Malaysia and is a wholly owned by Pelaburan MARA Berhad. The principal activity of the Manager is the management of Unit Trust Funds and Corporate Funds.

2. OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES OF FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Unit Trust Fund operations are exposed to several risks including equity market risk, stock specific risk, equity-related securities risk, Shariah status reclassification risk and liquidity risk. Financial risk

management is carried out through the system of internal control and investment restrictions outlined in the Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds by the Securities Commission of Malaysia and based on Shariah Principles.

(a) Equity Market Risk The performance of the Fund is subject to the volatility of the stock market which is influenced by the changes in the economic and political climate, profit rate, international stock market performance

and regulatory policies. The very nature of a Shariah-compliant Unit Trust Fund, however, helps mitigate this risk because Fund would generally hold a well-diversified portfolio of Shariah-compliant

securities from different market sectors that the collapse of any Shariah-compliant security or any one market sector would not impact too greatly on the value of the Fund.

The table below shows the effects on the net asset value of the Fund at the reporting date due to the possible change in equity price with all other variables held constant:

2. OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES OF FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT.)

(b) Stock Specific Risk Specific risk are the risks inherent in investing in companies

experiencing changes in business performance, taste and consumer

demand, legal action and management practices. This risk can be mitigated through diversification in investments and investment sanctions outlined by the Unit Trust Fund Guidelines and based on

Shariah Principles.

(c) Equity-related Securities Risk The value of the equity-related securities depends on the value of the

underlying equities that the securities are related to. Any upward

movement in the value of the underlying equities may result an upward movement of the value of the respective equity-related securities, and vice versa. Hence, the movement of the value of the

equity-related securities will affect the value of the Fund.

(d) Shariah Status Reclassification Risk This risk refers to the risk that the currently held Shariah-compliant

equities in the Fund may be reclassified as Shariah non-compliant in the periodic review of the equities by the SAC, the Shariah adviser or the Shariah boards of the relevant Islamic indices. If this occurs, the

Manager will take the necessary steps to dispose such equities. There may be opportunity loss to the Fund due to the Fund not being allowed to retain the excess capital gains derived from the disposal of

the Shariah non-compliant equities. In such event, the Fund should:-

i. dispose of the securities within one month if the value of the

securities exceeds or is equal to the investment cost on the date of announcement of the List of Shariah-compliant securities by the SAC. The Fund is allowed to keep dividends received and

capital gain from the disposal of the securities up to the date of announcement of the List of Shariah-compliant securities by the SAC. However, any dividends received and excess capital gain

from the disposal of Shariah non-compliant securities after the date of announcement of the List Shariah-compliant securities by SAC should be channeled to baitulmal and/or approved

charitable bodies;

ii. hold the respective securities if the market price of the said

securities is below the investment cost, until the total subsequent dividends received (if any) and the market price or value of the securities is equal to the cost of investment at which time

disposal has to take place within a month of attaining investment cost; or

iii. dispose of the securities at the price lower than the investment

cost which will result the decrease in the Fund‟s value.

2. OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES OF FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT.)

(e) Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will encounter difficulty in

meeting its financial obligations. Generally, all investment are subject to a certain degree of liquidity risk depending on the nature of the investment instruments, market, sector and other factors. For the purpose of the Fund, the Fund Manager will attempt to balance the entire portfolio by investing in a mix of assets with satisfactory trading volume and those that occasionally could encounter poor liquidity. This is expected to reduce the risks for the entire portfolio without limiting the Fund‟s growth potentials.

The Fund maintains sufficient level of Islamic liquid assets, after

consultation with the Trustee, to meet anticipated payments and cancellations of unit by unit holders. Islamic liquid assets comprise cash, Islamic deposits with licensed financial institutions and other Shariah-compliant instruments which are capable of being converted into cash within 7 days.
