A Note from PRU

Although the recent down cycle of global economies has shaken the investing public confidence

in investing, we are optimistic that these are the best time to explore new opportunities. We

believe in the old saying that “in times of volatility there are always opportunities” and as fund

managers we are constantly looking out for opportunities and value investments.

After enjoying a “bull run” for the past 10 years, it is aptly normal that the markets will at times

undergo unanticipated turbulence. We truly understand your fear of losing your investments.

However, we strongly encourage you to stay and continue investing unless your investment

objectives have changed. Do remember that investing in unit trusts requires a medium to long-

term commitment and this includes riding out short term volatilities.

At Prudential, we continue to offer viable investment solutions to assist you in dealing with rising

costs and weak markets sentiment around the world. The Prudential Emerging Market Rates Fund,

which made its debut on 20 August 2008, offers investors the opportunity to leverage on higher

interest rates across 18 countries and is an avenue for you to harvest potential gains in this bearish

market.

During the six-month period under review, the PRUglobal basics fund posted a healthy return of

6.55%. For the longer-term since inception, the Fund’s performance was at 17.24%, comfortably

outperforming the benchmark return of 5.53%.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for staying with us. With this, we present you

the PRUglobal basics fund Interim Report.

Nota daripada PRU

Walaupun kitaran kejatuhan ekonomi global baru-baru ini telah memberi tamparan kepada

keyakinan awam untuk melabur, kami tetap optimistik bahawa ini merupakan waktu terbaik untuk

menerokai peluang-peluang baru. Kami percaya kata-kata lama bahawa “pada masa pergolakan,

sering wujud peluang-peluang”, dan sebagai pengurus dana, kami sentiasa mencari peluang-

peluang dan nilai pelaburan.

Setelah menikmati “prestasi bul” sepanjang 10 tahun yang lepas, adalah biasa pasaran diikuti

dengan satu pergolakan di luar jangkaan. Kami benar-benar memahami kerisauan anda terhadap

kerugian pelaburan. Namun, kami memang menggalak anda untuk tetap dan terus melabur

melainkan objektif pelaburan anda telah berubah. Diingatkan bahawa melabur dalam unit

amanah memerlukan komitmen jangka sederhana hingga panjang dan tempoh ini merangkumi

pergolakan jangka pendek.

Di Prudential, kami terus menawarkan penyelesaian pelaburan berdaya maju untuk membantu

anda menghadapi kenaikan kos dan kelemahan sentimen pasaran di seluruh dunia. Dana

Prudential Emerging Market Rates, yang dilancarkan pada 20 Ogos 2008, menyediakan para

pelabur peluang pengumpilan dalam kadar faedah yang lebih tinggi melintangi 18 negara dan ia

merupakan satu cara bagi anda meraih peluang keuntungan di pasaran yang lemah ini.

Dalam tempoh enam-bulan di bawah tinjauan, Dana PRUglobal basics telah mencatat pulangan

yang baik, iaitu sebanyak 6.55%. Bagi tempoh yang lebih panjang iaitu sejak dilancarkan, Dana

telah mencatat prestasi sebanyak 17.24%, dengan itu mendahului prestasi penanda arasnya, iaitu

5.53%, dengan nyata sekali.

Kami ingin mengambil kesempatan ini untuk mengucapkan terima kasih kerana anda terus

bersama kami. Dengan ini dilampirkan Laporan Interim Dana PRUglobal basics.

The information presentedherein represents the estimates of fairvalues as at the statement of assets andliabilities date.

Where available, quoted and observablemarket prices are used as the measure offair values. Where such quoted andobservable market prices are notavailable, fair values are estimated basedon a range of methodologies andassumptions regarding risk characteristicsof various financial instruments, discountrates, estimates of future cash flows andother factors. Changes in theuncertainties and assumptions couldmaterially affect these estimates and theresulting fair value estimates.

A range of methodologies andassumptions had been used in derivingthe fair values of the Fund’s financial

instruments as at the statement of assetsand liabilities date. The total fair value ofeach financial instrument is not materiallydifferent from the total carrying value.

The fair values are based on the followingmethodologies and assumptions:

(a) Short term deposits

For deposits and placements withfinancial institutions with maturities ofless than three months, the carryingvalue is a reasonable estimate of fairvalue. For deposits and placementswith maturities three months andabove, estimated fair value is based ondiscounted cash flows using prevailingmoney market interest rates at whichsimilar deposits and placements wouldbe made with financial institutions ofsimilar credit risk and remaining periodto maturity.

Estimates and judgments are continuallyevaluated by the Manager and the Trusteeand are based on historical experienceand other factors, including expectationsof future events that are believed to bereasonable under the circumstances.

1 INFORMATION ON THE FUND

Prudential Global Basics Fund (“theFund”) was constituted pursuant to theexecution of a Master Deed (“the Deed”)dated 6 March 2006 between HSBC(Malaysia) Trustees Bhd (“the Trustee”)and Prudential Fund Management Berhad(“the Manager”).

The Fund commenced operations on 17January 2007 and will continue itsoperations until terminated by the Trusteeas provided under Part 12 of the Deed.

The main objective of the Fund is to seekto maximise long term total return (thecombination of income and growth ofcapital) by investing in a collectiveinvestment scheme, the M&G GlobalBasics Fund (“ the Underlying Fund’),which in turn invests in a wide range ofglobal equities that are considered to beleading in their field.

All investments will be subject to the SCGuidelines, the SC requirements, theDeed, except where exemptions orvariations have been approved by the SC,internal policies and procedures and theFund’s objective.

The Manager is a company incorporatedin Malaysia and is related to PrudentialPlc., a public listed company in the UnitedKingdom. The principal activity of theManager is the establishment,management and distribution of unittrust funds.

2 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENTOBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Fund is exposed to a variety of risks

which include market risk, single security

risk, foreign exchange/currency risk,

country risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk

and credit risk.

Financial risk management is carried out

through internal control processes

adopted by the Manager and adherence

to the investment restrictions as stipulated

by the SC Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds.

Market Risk

This risk refers to changes and

developments in regulations, politics and

the economy of the country. The very

nature of a unit trust fund, however,

helps mitigate this risk. The Underlying

Fund that is the M&G Global Basics Fund

would generally hold a well-diversified

portfolio of securities from different

market sectors that the collapse of any

one security or any one market sector

would not impact too greatly on the

value of the M&G Global Basics Fund.

Single Security Risk

The fund essentially invests in a single

security, which is the M&G Global Basics

Fund. The feeder fund mitigates single

securities risk by investing in a diversified

portfolio of equities.

This risk is associated with a feeder fund

that essentially invests in a single security,

which is the M&G Global Basics Fund in

this case. The M&G Global Basics Fund,

by investing in a diversified portfolio of

equities helps to mitigate this single

security risk.

Foreign Exchange/Currency Risk

As the Underlying Fund, M&G Global

Basics Fund may invest its assets in

securities denominated in a wide range of

currencies other than Ringgit Malaysia,

the NAV of the M&G Global Basics Fund

expressed in Euro may be affected

favourably or unfavourably by exchange

control regulations or changes in the

exchange rates between Euro and such

other currencies. This risk is minimized

through investing in a wide range of

foreign currencies denominated assets

and thus, diversifying the risk of single

currency exposure. It also minimizes the

foreign exchange/currency risk between

Ringgit Malaysia (the Fund) and Euro (the

M&G Global Basics Fund).

In the normal course of investment, the

M&G Global Basics Fund will usually not

hedge foreign currency exposure. The

M&G Global Basics Fund may however

depending on prevailing market

circumstances at a particular point in

time, choose to use forward or option

contracts for hedging and risk reduction

purposes. Similarly, the Fund shall not

hedge foreign currency exposure.

Country Risk

The NAV of the M&G Global Basics Fund

may be affected by uncertainties such as

currency fluctuations, international

political developments, restrictions on

foreign investment and currency

repatriation, changes in governmental

policies, changes in taxation and other

developments in the laws and regulations

of countries in which investment may be

made. In addition, the reduced availability

of public information, the legal

infrastructure and the lack of uniform

accounting, auditing and financial

reporting standards or other regulatory

practices and requirements may reduce

the degree of investor protection

afforded. Some of the securities may also

be subjected to government taxes or

incur higher custodian expenses which

may reduce the yield on such securities.

Investing into various markets will

however mitigate the country risk of the

portfolio.

Liquidity Risk

The Fund maintains sufficient level of

liquid assets, after consultation with the

Trustee, to meet anticipated payments

PruGlobal basic IR 2008.qxp 8/27/08 5:04 PM Page 34

03-2332 1000 35

PRUglobal basics fund Interim Report

Customer Service :

and cancellations of units by unitholders.

Liquid assets comprise cash, deposits with

licensed financial institutions and other

instruments which are capable of being

converted into cash within 7 days. The

Fund has a policy of maintaining a

minimum level of one percent (1%) of

liquid assets to reduce the liquidity risk.

Interest Rate Risk

The Fund is exposed to interest rate risk.

To the extent the Fund invests in the

Underlying Fund, it is exposed to the risk

of interest rate changes. If the markets’

interest change, the price of these

securities may be deeply affected and this

applies to a greater degree if the

Underlying Fund holds securities with

high correlation to the interest rates.

Changes in interest rates will affect the

value of the investments and its returns.

To manage the risk, investments will be

concentrated in investment grade issues

by financial institutions and companies

determined by the Manager.

Interest rate risk is a general economic

indicator that will have an impact on the

management of the fund. The reason for

this is because a high level of interest

rates will inevitably affect corporate

profits and this will have an impact on the

value of investments.

As at the date of the statement of assets

and liabilities, the net asset value of the

Fund can be analysed into interest and

non-interest bearing balances, as follows:
