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

The Fund’s assets are to be actively invested in a diversified portfolio of Malaysian and foreign equity, and equity-related securities. The Fund seeks to manage portfolios by investing in companies that satisfy the criteria of having a sustainable and credible business model, and are also trading at a discount to their intrinsic value. However, under conditions of extreme market volatility and/or when the market is trading at valuations deemed unsustainable, the Fund will seek to judiciously scale back its equity exposure.

For the period under review, the MYR Class registered a return of -0.42% underperforming the benchmark by 8.81% whereas the USD Class registered a return of -5.04%, underperforming the benchmark by 13.43%. The underperformance was mainly due to stock selection.

2.6 Review of the market

Market review

FTSE Bursa Malaysia Kuala Lumpur Companies Index (FBM-KLCI) declined 3.5% for the interim period under review. US Federal Reserve raised rate in June and September, effectively lifting US rates to 2.25% and kept guidance of total 4 hikes for 2018. US-China trade tensions escalated with the imposition of tariff from both sides. On the local front, market sentiment turned bearish in September, after strong performance in previous two months due to implementation of Sales and Service Tax (SST) and the announcement of minimum wage hike. FBM-KLCI recorded biggest single day fall in five months after Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng signalling Budget 2019 will require “sacrifices” during an investor conference.

The FBM-KLCI started the month positive during the first week of June. However, the positive momentum failed to sustain as foreigners continue to sell the market. The initial decline was dragged by finance related stocks which brought the index lower on 11 June; bucking regional trend which closed in the green on optimism that the U.S-North Korea summit in Singapore may lead to the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. The downtrend for the index continued, in line with regional markets on trade-war fears after Donald Trump threatened to have additional tariffs on another USD200 billion of Chinese imports.

US stock indices ended positively in August led by solid US corporate earnings, despite the intra-month volatility caused by the on-going trade negotiations between the US and international trade partners. U.S. consumer spending increased a solid 0.4% in July, the sixth straight month of healthy gains, suggesting strong economic growth early in the 3Q18, while a measure of underlying inflation hit the US Federal Reserve’s 2% target for the third time this year. Elsewhere, investors were focused on emerging markets, including Turkey and Argentina, which are both embroiled in currency crises that Wall Street fears could have knock-on effects across the globe.

On the local front, 2Q18 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth of 4.5% YoY was reported in August, which was below market expectations. This was the slowest pace since 4Q16 as the country’s mining and agriculture sectors contracted at 2.2% and 2.5% respectively. Nevertheless, the underlying data are better than the headline implies. The domestic demand growth accelerated to 5.6% year-on-year (YoY) from 4.1% YoY in 1Q18 driven by consumption. The SST was reintroduced on September 1 with proposed sales tax at 5% and 10%, while service tax at fixed rate of 6%. The government is drawing up new directions for the 11th Malaysia Plan which will be tabled in the Parliament in October.

2.6 Review of the market (contd.)

Market review (contd.)

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 in September. As widely expected, the Federal Reserve raised interest rate by another 25 basis points (bps) at 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 2018/2019 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. 10-year US treasury yield surged to 3.234%, the highest in seven years in early October before moderating to 3.144% by month end. The October correction sent Dow Jones, S&P and Nasdaq down month-on-month (MoM) by 5.1%, 6.9% and 9.2% respectively, erasing most of the gains in 2018. While China’s 3Q GDP growth came in within expectation at 6.5%, October manufacturing Purchasing Manager’s Index (PMI) dropped to 50.2 from 50.8 in September, the slowest in 2 years. Weighed by domestic slowdown and trade tension, the Shanghai and Shenzhen Index plunged 7.8% and 10.2% respectively. To counter the slowdown, China cut banks reserve requirement for the 4th time for the year to support lending to corporates and small and medium enterprises. In addition, Chinese regulators also voiced support measures for the financial markets as holdings of many listed companies are pledged for collateral loans. The Chinese Yuan depreciated 1.56% against US dollar to close at 6.98 by the end of October.

Locally, the FBM-KLCI was not spared by the respite in October. The FBM-KLCI slipped 4.7% MoM to 1709.27 points on the back of foreign selling and worries over introduction of new taxes which may dent capital markets. Officials reiterated that the upcoming 2019 budget would be difficult and require sacrifices, adding jittery into investors’ sentiment. The FBM Small Cap Index corrected a sharper 11.4% due to risk-off sentiment. While the termination of Mass Rapid Transit 2 underground works was later avoided with main contractor Gamuda-MMC JV offering a bigger cost cut, the drama threw the entire construction sector into doldrums.

Malaysia’s new government announced its maiden Budget 2019 in November, with the increase of casino gaming tax and introduction of new taxes which include sugar tax, digital tax and airport departure levy. The economy is expected to grow at 4.8%/4.9% in 2018/2019 driven by private sector consumption growth of 9%/9.9% in 2018/2019 respectively. Fiscal deficit is projected at 3.7% in 2018 and will narrow to 3.4% in 2019. The Budget however did not provide any boost to the market. Malaysia 3Q18 GDP rose 4.4% YoY driven largely by consumer and private sector spending. The FBM-KLCI slipped 1.7% MoM to the year’s low of 1679.86 points on the back of foreign selling and disappointing 3Q earnings.

December was a rough month for markets around the world especially the US market, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index, S&P 500 Index and Nasdaq Composite Index fell 8.7%, 9.2%, and 9.5% MoM respectively, the worst December since the depths of the Great Depression in 1931. The 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. FBM-KLCI managed to eke out 0.64% MoM gains in December, but ended the year with a negative return of 5.9%.

2.6 Review of the market (contd.)

Market review (contd.)

The Fed kept interests rates unchanged at 2.25%-2.50% following its first FOMC meeting in January 2019. 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. In the UK, Brexit uncertainty continues as British parliament votes on rejecting Prime Minister Theresa May’s EU withdrawal agreement. This was followed by May’s administration winning a vote of no-confidence in the House of Commons by a thin margin.

MSCI Asia ex-Japan Index was up 2.05% in February as most countries posted positive returns in local currency terms. Investor sentiment generally improved as US and China appear to be making progress on trade talks despite China Caixin PMI shrinks more than expected in January.

US markets continued its positive streak with the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index, S&P 500 Index, and Nasdaq Composite Index rising 0.1%, 1.8%, and 2.6% respectively. However, the Fed Yield Curve inverted, spooking investors as such inversion normally precedes a recession. Over to the European Union, the central bank decided to keep rates at 0% and announced a new series of long-term lending operation to increase liquidity and counter the slow growing economy while the U.K. parliament rejected the EU withdrawal agreement for the third time, setting the motion for a no deal Brexit on April 12. Locally, the FBM Small Cap remained resilient with a +1.3% MoM gain, outperforming the main market. Foreigners remain net sellers in March with RM1.6 billion outflows, bringing YTD outflow to RM1.3 billion.

After a temporary inversion, the yield curve normalized during April, which alleviated recession concern. Over to Europe, the agreement between UK and EU to delay Brexit deadline by six months to 31st October 2019 averted the immediate risk of no-deal Brexit. Locally, the FBM-KLCI index edged down 0.08%, while the FBM Small Cap index gaining 7.16% during the month. The mid-to-small cap space continued its uptrend, boosted by positive sentiment following revival of mega infrastructure projects such as the East Coast Rail Line and Bandar Malaysia. During the month, the Ringgit reversed its earlier uptrend and depreciated 1.29% against USD, due to concerns over potential exclusion of Malaysia debt securities from the FTSE World Government Bond Index and reduced weighting for Malaysian equities in upcoming MSCI rebalancing.

The renewed US-China trade tension with both countries raising tariffs against each other triggered a widespread selloff in May. The selloff also spilled over into the technology sector as US companies were banned from doing business with Huawei. In response to that, China toughened its stance on the trade war in the White Paper and emphasized that a trade deal must be mutually beneficial, indicating further delay of a potential trade deal. One of the non-tariff retaliatory measures China could take is to restrict rare earth export to US as US imports up to 80% of its rare earth consumption from China. Both the Dow Jones Industrial Average index and Euro STOXX 50 tumbled 6.7% MoM in May. MSCI Asia ex-Japan fell 8.9% MoM with HSCEI (-10.0%) and HSI (-9.4%) being the worst performers, followed by Singapore (-8.3%), Korea (-7.3%) and CSI300 (-7.2%). On the domestic front, Bank Negara Malaysia cut Overnight Policy Rate by 25 bps to 3%, the first change in 8 policy meetings which is negative for Banks’ net interest margins and companies with high cash holdings. Noticeable merger and acquisition deals include the proposed Telenor-Axiata merger, YTL Cement’s acquisition on Lafarge Malaysia followed by Hong Leong Group’s privatisation of Tasek Corp.

2.6 Review of the market (contd.)

Market outlook

All eyes will be on G20 meeting in Japan scheduled on June 28-29 where both President Trump and Chairman Xi will meet to discuss on trade matters. Another key event to watch is the June 18-19 FOMC meeting as Fed is turning more dovish on the back of slowing US economy momentum. Over in Europe, Teresa May will step down as the Prime Minister of UK on June 7. While a 90-day temporary waiver is granted on Huawei sanction, disruptions in the technology supply chain could have long term implications to technology dependant countries including Korea and Taiwan. In China, more easing and stimulus measures are expected as growth has yet to truly bottom out. The Chinese government is managing expectations to prepare for RMB trading above 7 against USD in the event of more US tariffs.

In Malaysia, investors would monitor the decision on electricity tariffs before 30 June 2019 and potential power reform plans. Employers are also waiting for details on foreign worker replacement scheme that has been delayed.

strategy

Though valuations are looking more attractive following the correction in May, we remain cautiously optimistic on the market and will manage our portfolios more proactively in order to outperform amid volatile markets. We remain Overweight on ASEAN in particularly Indonesia as compared to North Asia, Neutral on Singapore and Thailand.

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.

ResponsibilitiesoftheManagerandtheTrusteeforthefinancialstatements

The Manager 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 and International Financial Reporting Standards. The Manager is also responsible for such internal control as the Manager determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements of the Fund that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements of the Fund, the Manager is responsible for assessing the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Manager either intends to liquidate the Fund or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Trustee is responsible for overseeing the Fund’s financial reporting process. The Trustee is also 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’responsibilitiesfortheauditofthefinancialstatements

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 judgment and maintain professional skepticism 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.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Manager.

Auditors’responsibilitiesfortheauditofthefinancialstatements(contd.)

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Manager’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements of the Fund or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Fund to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements of the Fund, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements of the Fund represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with the Manager regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Other matters

This report is made solely to the unit holders of the Fund, as a body, in accordance with the Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds issued by the Securities Commission Malaysia and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility to any other person for the content of this report.

1. ThE fund, ThE MAnAGER And ThEiR PRinCiPAl ACTiViTiEs

Kenanga Growth Fund Series 2 (“the Fund”) was constituted pursuant to the executed Deed dated 30 April 2018 between the Manager, Kenanga Investors Berhad, and CIMB Commerce Trustee Berhad (“the Trustee”). The Fund commenced operations on 28 May 2018 and will continue to be in operation until terminated as as provided under Part 11 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 unit holders with long-term capital growth. To achieve the objective of the Fund, it will invest up to 98% of the Fund’s NAV in equities and equity-related securities and up to 30% of the Fund’s NAV in foreign assets.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Chief Executive Officer of the Manager on 16 July 2019.

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 other economy-wide perils, which threaten all businesses. Hence, investors are exposed to market uncertainties. Fluctuation in the investments’ prices caused by uncertainties in the economy, 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. The Fund invests in listed equity securities, listed collective investment schemes and unlisted equity securities which are exposed to price fluctuations. This may then affect the NAV per unit of the Fund.

Price risk sensitivity

The Manager’s best estimate of the effect on the loss for the financial period due to a reasonably possible change in investments in listed equity securities, listed collective investment schemes and unlisted equity securities with all other variables held constant is indicated in the table below:

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.

b. Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will cause a financial 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 financial asset recognised in the statement of financial position.

ii. financial assets that are either past due or impaired

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.

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 unlisted equity securities 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 financial statements of the Fund have been prepared in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS”) as issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (“MASB”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except as disclosed in the accounting policies below.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the adoption of the new and amended MFRS and Interpretation Committee’s (“IC”) Interpretation which became effective for the Fund on 1 June 2018.

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. Measurement categories of financial assets and liabilities

From 1 June 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.

c. financial instruments (contd.)

i. Measurement categories of financial assets and liabilities (contd.)

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

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.

ii. 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(c)(iii). 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.

After initial measurement, debt instruments are measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate (“EIR”) method, less allowance for impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fee or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. Expected credit losses (“ECLs”) are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when the investments are impaired.

Financial assets at FVTPL are recorded in the statement of financial position at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded in profit or loss.

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

Prior to 1 June 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.

3. suMMARY Of siGnifiCAnT ACCOunTinG POliCiEs (COnTd.)

c. financial instruments (contd.)

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

From 1 June 2018, the Fund only measures the amount due from banks, short term deposits 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.

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).

c. financial instruments (contd.)

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

The sPPi test

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 judgment 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.

iv. financial investments

Financial assets in this category are those that are managed in a fair value business model, or that have been designated by management upon initial recognition, or are mandatorily required to be measured at fair value under MFRS 9. This category includes debt instruments whose cash flow characteristics fail the SPPI criterion or are not held within a business model whose objective is either to collect contractual cash flows, or to both collect contractual cash flows and sell.

d. Reclassification of financial assets and liabilities

The Fund has not reclassified its financial assets and financial liabilities subsequent to their initial recognition and upon adoption of MFRS 9.

e. 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.

Kenanga Growth Fund Series 2 Annual Report 36

3. suMMARY Of siGnifiCAnT ACCOunTinG POliCiEs (COnTd.)

e. Derecognition of financial assets (contd.)

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.

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.

f. Impairment of financial assets (Policy applicable from 1 June 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.

g. 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 is recognised using the effective interest method.

Dividends income is recognised on declared basis, when the right to receive the dividends is established.

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

h. 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.

i. income tax

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

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

j. unrealised reserve

Unrealised reserves represent the net gain or loss arising from carrying investments at their fair values and unrealised gain or loss from translating foreign currency monetary items at exchange rates prevailing at reporting date. This reserve is not distributable.

Kenanga Growth Fund Series 2 Annual Report 38

3. suMMARY Of siGnifiCAnT ACCOunTinG POliCiEs (COnTd.)

k. 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.

l. foreign currency

i. 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.

ii. foreign currency transaction

In preparing the financial statements of the Fund, transactions in currencies other than the Fund’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded in the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the reporting date. All exchange gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are included in profit or loss for the financial period.

The principal exchange rate for each respective units of foreign currency ruling at reporting date is as follows:

m. 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.

n. 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 period.
