2.3 Investment strategies and policies employed during the financial period under review

For the financial period under review, the Fund aimed to achieve its investment objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of equities and equity related securities of companies in the ASEAN region.

2.4 the fund’s asset allocation as at 28 february 2019 and comparison with the previous financial period

Asset 28 feb 2019 28 feb 2018Listed investment securities 81.9% 89.6%Short term deposits and cash 18.1% 10.4%

AssetPeriod under

reviewKenanga AseAn tactical total return fund -3.28%10% growth in nAV per annum (compounded) over the long term 3.89%

Source: Lipper; Novagni Analytics and Advisory

For the financial period under review, the Fund decreased 3.28% underperforming its performance benchmark of 3.89%. The underperformance is due to stock selection.

2.6 review of the market

market review

*All returns are in local currency unless mentioned otherwise

For the period under review (1 September 2018 – 28 February 2019), the MSCI ASEAN index was up 1.0% in USD and -0.3 in MYR. In local currency, the sole outperformers was Indonesia (+7.1%) while the other ASEAN countries underperformed with Singapore (-0.0%), Philippines (-1.9%), Thailand (-3.9%) and Malaysia (-6.2%).

Despite escalation in US-China trade tension, US stock indices continued to hit new highs, on the back of stronger than expected macro-economic data. As widely expected, the Federal Reserve raised interest rate by another 25 basis points (bps) in the September Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, which reflected the positive economic outlook. Elsewhere, the European Central Bank reiterated expectation of no rate change until at least summer 2019. However, concerns over potential no-deal Brexit and Italy budget capped upside in the European markets.

October was a brutal month for equity markets. Equities tumbled amidst escalated US-China trade tension, rising treasury yields, disappointment over apple suppliers’ profits and UK’s introduction of digital tax. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) cut 2018/19 global growth to 3.7% (previously 3.9%), the first downgrade since July 2016. IMF highlighted that risks to global outlook have risen due to the trade tensions and sharper interest rate hikes. November ended with mixed performances across the globe. While US equity markets recorded monthly gains with Dow Jones up by 1.7% month-on-month (M-o-M), European markets were generally negative. Investors were generally cautious over Brexit-led turmoil, falling oil prices and the uncertain outcome between Trump and Xi’s trade talk in G20 meeting.

December was also a rough month as markets have been battered by the trade conflict between the United States and China, fears over rising interest rates, geopolitical snafus like Brexit and falling oil prices. During the month, the US Federal Reserve’s decision raised interest rates again by 25 bps, to a range of 2.25% to 2.5%, the ninth such move since late-2015. Foreigners were net sellers of RM1 billion net outflows in December, which brought cumulative net selling to RM11.7 billion, more than offsetting 2017’s net inflows of RM10.8 billion.

US markets rose in the first two months of 2019 in comparison with the rough correction back in December. The central bank turned more dovish indicating it will be patient in its monetary normalisation plan given moderating economic activity, muted inflation pressures and market uncertainty arising from concerns regarding trade war and global growth. US President Donald Trump announced he will be delaying US tariffs on China until further notice.

Kenanga ASEAN Tactical Total Return Fund Interim Report 4

2.6 review of the market (contd.)

market review (contd.)

In the UK, Brexit uncertainty continues as British parliament votes on rejecting Prime Minister Theresa May’s European Union withdrawal agreement. This was followed by May’s administration winning a vote of no-confidence in the House of Commons by a thin margin.

Outlook and strategy

Better than expected Chinese economic data, coupled with the more dovish tone from the US Fed suggests that macro conditions are improving. We are cautiously optimistic on the market but will closely monitor the on-going US-China trade talks for signs of progress. The two sides will meet again soon, which could imply a deal as early as late April.

We continue to focus on stock picking for outperformance. Elections related news will continue to make headlines in Indonesia and Thailand, providing trading opportunities. Nonetheless, we are increasing positions in Malaysia as the equity market and currency has continued to lag peers. We also still see value to found in the small cap space, given the sharp decline last year.

2.7 distributions

For the financial period under review, the Fund did not declare any distribution.

2.8 details of any unit split exercise

The Fund did not carry out any unit split exercise during the financial period under review.

2.9 Significant changes in the state of affair of the Fund during the financial period

2.10 circumstances that materially affect any interests of the unit holders

During the financial period under review, there were no circumstances that materially affected any interests of the unit holders.

2.11 cross trade

Any soft commissions received by investment manager on behalf of the Fund are in the form of research and advisory services that assist in the decision making process relating to the investment of the Fund which are of demonstrable benefit to unit holders of the Fund. For the financial period under review, the Manager has received soft commissions from the stockbrokers.

1. tHe fund, tHe mAnAGer And tHeir PrinciPAl ActiVities

Kenanga ASEAN Tactical Total Return Fund (“the Fund”) was constituted pursuant to the executed Deed dated 9 December 2013 and First Supplemental Deed dated 29 May 2015 (collectively, referred to as “the Deed”) between the Manager, Kenanga Investors Berhad, and CIMB Commerce Trustee Berhad (“the Trustee”). The Fund commenced operations on 1 July 2015 and will continue to be in operation until terminated by the Trustee, as provided under Part 12 of the Deed.

Kenanga Investors Berhad is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad that is listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. All of these companies are incorporated in Malaysia.

The principal place of business of the Manager is Level 14, Kenanga Tower, 237, Jalan Tun Razak, 50400 Kuala Lumpur.

The Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation over the long-term (over 5 years) by investing in equities and equity related securities of companies in the ASEAN region. The ASEAN countries that the Fund may invest in will include, but are not limited to, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines and Vietnam.

2. finAnciAl risK mAnAGement OBJectiVes And POlicies

The Fund is exposed to a variety of risks including market risk (which includes interest rate risk, price risk and currency risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Whilst these are the most important types of financial risks inherent in each type of financial 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 unit holders, consistent with the long term objectives of the Fund.

a. market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk includes interest rate risk, price risk and currency risk.

Market risk arises when the value of the investments fluctuates 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’ prices caused by uncertainties in the economic, political and social environment will affect the NAV of the Fund.

2. finAnciAl risK mAnAGement OBJectiVes And POlicies (cOntd.)

a market risk (contd.)

The Manager manages the risk of unfavourable changes in prices by cautious review of the investments and continuous monitoring of their performance and risk profiles.

i. interest rate risk

Interest rate risk refers to how the changes in the interest rate environment would affect the performance of Fund’s investments. Rate offered by the financial institutions will fluctuate according to the Overnight Policy Rate determined by Bank Negara Malaysia and this has direct correlation with the Fund’s investments in deposits.

The Fund is not exposed to significant interest rate risk as its deposits are short term in nature and have fixed interest rates.

interest rate risk exposure

The following table analyses the Fund’s interest rate risk exposure. The Fund’s financial assets and financial liabilities are disclosed at fair value and categorised by the earlier of contractual re-pricing or maturity dates.

ii. Price risk

Price risk is the risk of unfavourable changes in the fair values of listed equity securities, listed collective investment schemes and listed warrants. The Fund invests in listed equity securities, listed collective investment schemes and listed warrants which are exposed to price fluctuations. This may then affect the NAV per unit of the Fund.

iii. currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

When the foreign currencies fluctuate in an unfavourable movement against Ringgit Malaysia, the investment face currency loss in addition to capital gain/(loss). This will lead to lower NAV of the Fund.

The Manager may consider managing the currency risk using currency hedging. However, this would be subject to the current market outlook on the currency exposure risk as well.

c. liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Fund will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are to be settled by delivering cash or another financial 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 unit holders by the Manager are cancellable at the unit holders’ 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, short term deposits with licensed financial institutions and other instruments, which are capable of being converted into cash within 7 days.

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

i. financial assets

Analysis of financial assets at FVTPL into maturity groupings is based on the expected date on which these assets will be realised. The Fund’s investments in listed equity securities, listed collective investment schemes and listed warrants have been included in the “up to 1 year” category on the assumption that these are highly liquid investments which can be realised should all of the Fund’s unit holders’ equity be required to be redeemed. 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.

The adoption of the new and amended MFRS and IC interpretation did not have any significant impact on the financial position or performance of the Fund other than the impacts as discussed below:

mfrs 9 Financial Instruments

MFRS 9 Financial Instruments replaces MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and all previous versions of MFRS 9 for annual periods on or after 1 January 2018. MFRS 9 requires financial assets to be classified on the basis of the business model within which they are held and their contractual cash flow characteristics. The requirements related to the fair value option for financial liabilities were also changed to address own credit risk. The adoption of MFRS 9 has no effect on the classification and measurement of the Fund’s financial assets and financial liabilities.

MFRS 9 also requires impairment assessments to be based on an expected credit loss model, replacing the MFRS 139 incurred loss model. Finally, MFRS 9 aligns hedge accounting more closely with risk management, establish a more principle-based approach to hedge accounting and address inconsistencies and weaknesses in the previous model.

The Fund did not change the classification of its investments nor were there any material financial impact arising from the adoption of this standard.

To be announcedby MASB

The Fund will adopt the above pronouncements when they become effective in the respective financial periods. These pronouncements are not expected to have any significant impact to the financial statements of the Fund upon their initial application.

c. financial instruments

Financial assets are recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instruments.

i. initial recognition and subsequent measurement

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on their contractual terms and the business model for managing the instruments, as described in Note 3(d)(i). Financial assets are initially measured at their fair value, except in the case of financial assets recorded at FVTPL, transaction costs are added to, or subtracted from, this amount. Trade receivables are measured at the transaction price. When the fair value of financial instruments at initial recognition differs from the transaction price, the Fund accounts for the Day 1 profit or loss, as described below.

c. financial instruments (contd.)

ii. Measurement categories of financial assets and liabilities

From 1 September 2018, the Fund classifies all of its financial assets based on the business model for managing the assets and the asset’s contractual terms, measured at either:

• Amortised cost;• Fair value through other comprehensive income; and• Fair value through profit or loss.

The Fund may designate financial instruments at FVTPL, if so doing eliminates or significantly reduces measurement or recognition inconsistencies.

The Fund’s financial assets include cash and bank balances, short term deposits and other receivables. Prior to 1 September 2018, the Fund classified its financial assets as receivables (amortised cost), as explained in Note 3(d)(i).

Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability. Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or other financial liabilities.

The Fund’s other financial liabilities include trade payables and other payables.

Other financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process.

d. financial assets and liabilities

i. due from banks, short term deposits, trade and other receivables at amortised cost

Prior to 1 September 2018, included in the financial assets are cash and bank balances, short term deposits and other receivables including receivables which are those non–derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that were not quoted in an active market.

From 1 September 2018, the Fund only measures the amount due from banks and other receivables at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:

• The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

• The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”) on the principal amount outstanding.

The details of these conditions are outlined below.

Business model assessment

The Fund determines its business model at the level that best reflects how it manages groups of financial assets to achieve its business objective.

d. financial assets and liabilities (contd.)

i. due from banks, short term deposits, trade and other receivables at amortised cost (contd.)

Business model assessment (contd.)

The Fund’s business model is not assessed on an instrument-by-instrument basis, but at a higher level of aggregated portfolios and is based on observable factors such as:

• How the performance of the business model and the financial assets held within that business model are evaluated and reported to the entity’s key management personnel;

• The risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and, in particular, the way those risks are managed;

• How managers of the business are compensated (for example, whether the compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or on the contractual cash flows collected); and

• The expected frequency, value and timing of sales are also important aspects of the Fund’s assessment.

The business model assessment is based on reasonably expected scenarios without taking ‘worst case’ or ‘stress case’ scenarios into account. If cash flows after initial recognition are realised in a way that is different from the Fund’s original expectations, the Fund does not change the classification of the remaining financial assets held in that business model, but incorporates such information when assessing newly originated or newly purchased financial assets going forward, unless it has been determined that there has been a change in the original business model.

the sPPi test

As a second step of its classification process the Fund assesses the contractual terms of financial assets to identify whether they meet the SPPI test.

‘Principal’ for the purpose of this test is defined as the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition and may change over the life of the financial asset (for example, if there are repayments of principal or amortisation/accretion of the premium/discount).

The most significant elements of interest within a lending arrangement are typically the consideration for the time value of money and credit risk. To make the SPPI assessment, the Fund applies judgement and considers relevant factors such as the currency in which the financial asset is denominated, and the period for which the interest rate is set.

In contrast, contractual terms that introduce a more than de minimis exposure to risks or volatility in the contractual cash flows that are unrelated to a basic lending arrangement do not give rise to contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the amount outstanding. In such cases, the financial asset is required to be measured at FVTPL.

e. Reclassification of financial assets and liabilities

From 1 September 2018, the Fund has not reclassified its financial assets and financial liabilities subsequent to their initial recognition and upon adoption of MFRS 9.

f. Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired. The Fund also derecognises the financial asset if it has both transferred the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition.

The Fund has transferred the financial asset if, and only if, either:

• The Fund has transferred its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset; or

• It retains the rights to the cash flows, but has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass–through’ arrangement.

Pass-through arrangements are transactions whereby the Fund retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of a financial asset (the ‘original asset’), but assumes a contractual obligation to pay those cash flows to one or more entities (the ‘eventual recipients’), when all of the following three conditions are met:

• The Fund has no obligation to pay amounts to the eventual recipients unless it has collected equivalent amounts from the original asset, excluding short-term advances with the right to full recovery of the amount lent plus accrued interest at market rates;

• The Fund cannot sell or pledge the original asset other than as security to the eventual recipients; and

• The Fund has to remit any cash flows it collects on behalf of the eventual recipients without material delay. In addition, the Fund is not entitled to reinvest such cash flows, except for investments in cash or cash equivalents including interest earned, during the period between the collection date and the date of required remittance to the eventual recipients.

A transfer only qualifies for derecognition if either:

• The Fund has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset; or• The Fund has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and

rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

The Fund considers control to be transferred if and only if, the transferee has the practical ability to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party and is able to exercise that ability unilaterally and without imposing additional restrictions on the transfer.

When the Fund has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards and has retained control of the asset, the asset continues to be recognised only to the extent of the Fund’s continuing involvement, in which case, the Fund also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Fund has retained.

3. summArY Of siGnificAnt AccOuntinG POlicies (cOntd.)

f. Derecognition of financial assets (contd.)

A transfer only qualifies for derecognition if either:

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration the Fund could be required to pay.

If continuing involvement takes the form of a written or purchased option (or both) on the transferred asset, the continuing involvement is measured at the value the Fund would be required to pay upon repurchase. In the case of a written put option on an asset that is measured at fair value, the extent of the entity’s continuing involvement is limited to the lower of the fair value of the transferred asset and the option exercise price.

g. Impairment of financial assets (Policy applicable from 1 January 2018)

i. Overview of the expected credit loss (“ecl”) principles

As described in Note 3(a), the adoption of MFRS 9 has fundamentally changed the Fund’s receivables impairment method by replacing MFRS 139’s incurred loss approach with a forward-looking ECL approach.

ii. Write-offs

The Fund’s accounting policy under MFRS 9 remains the same as it was under MFRS 139. Financial assets are written off either partially or in their entirety only when the Fund has stopped pursuing the recovery. If the amount to be written off is greater than the accumulated loss allowance, the difference is first treated as an addition to the allowance that is then applied against the gross carrying amount. Any subsequent recoveries are credited to credit loss expense.

h. income

Income is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow 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 fixed income securities, is recognised using the effective interest method.

Dividend income is recognised on declared basis, when the right to receive the dividend is established.

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.

i. cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and short term deposits with licensed financial institutions with insignificant risk of changes in value.

Kenanga ASEAN Tactical Total Return Fund Interim Report 30

3. summArY Of siGnificAnt AccOuntinG POlicies (cOntd.)

j. income tax

Income tax on the profit or loss for the financial year comprises current tax. Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the financial year.

As no temporary differences have been identified, no deferred tax has been recognised.

k. 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.

l. unit holders’ contribution – nAV attributable to unit holders

The unit holders’ contribution to the Fund is classified 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 unit holders by way of distribution and/or adjusted accordingly when units are released back to the Trustee.

m. functional and presentation currency

The financial statements of the Fund are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Fund operates (“the functional currency”). The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is also the Fund’s functional currency.

n. distributions

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

o. Significant accounting judgments and estimates

The preparation of financial 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 significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
