The Fund is a close-ended fund that aims to provide income and capital preservation* for a period of five (5) years by investing primarily in a credit linked investment structured product issued in Malaysia. * The Fund is neither a capital guaranteed fund nor a capital protected fund. Has the fund achieved its objective? For the period under review, the Fund is in line with its stated objectives as stated under the fund performance review. What are the fund investment policy and its strategy? The CIMB-Principal Structured Investment Wholesale Fund is a close-ended fund in which at least 95% of the Fund’s NAV will be invested in a five (5)-year credit linked investment structured product (“Structured Product”) to be issued by CIMB Bank Berhad*, while up to 5% of the remaining Fund’s NAV will be invested in liquid assets for liquidity purpose. The Structured Product is not a principal protected/guaranteed investment. The Structured Product is not insured by the Perbadanan Insurans Deposit Malaysia (also known as the Malaysia Deposit Insurance Corporation). As the Structured Product is a credit linked investment structured product, the performance of the Structured Product is linked to the performance of its underlying asset, i.e. the Reference Obligation, which is a five (5)-year senior unsecured bond that is unrated, nontradable and non-transferable. Through this Structured Product (subject to non-occurrence of any Events), the Fund will receive semi-annual coupon payments from the Structured Product (via the semi-annual coupon payments received from the Reference Obligation), which will then be distributed to the Unit holders. Due to the nature of this Fund, the Manager will generally adopt a buy-and-hold strategy whereby the Structured Product invested will be held for the tenure of the Fund. There will be no trading of the Fund’s investment portfolio as withdrawal (prior to the Maturity Date) is not allowed. The Fund’s policies on investments are carried out in accordance with the Deed and it will continue its operations until terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Deed. * CIMB Bank Berhad (as the Issuer) and the Manager are related companies within the CIMB Group; hence, conflict of interest may arise. Fund category/ type Wholesale Fund (Structured Product) / Income. How long should you invest for? 5 years Indication of short-term risk (low, moderate, high) High. When was the Fund launched? 9 August 2012 What was the size of the Fund as at 30 September 2013? RM 2,043.95 million (2,005 million units) 2 CIMB-PRINCIPAL STRUCTURED INVESTMENT WHOLESALE FUND MANAGER’S REPORT (CONTINUED) What is the fund’s benchmark? Five (5)-year CIMB Bank fixed deposit rate at the Commencement Date. Given that the objective of the Fund is to provide income and capital preservation*, the Fund is benchmarked against the five (5)-year CIMB Bank fixed deposit rate at Commencement Date for performance comparison purpose only. The five (5)-year fixed deposit rate at the Commencement Date provides an indication on the annual^ rate of return over five (5) years receivable by investors should they deposit their money with financial institutions. Investors should note that the risk profile of this Fund is higher than placement of deposit, and hence, investors should expect the Fund to outperform the benchmark. The information can be obtained from www.cimbbank.com.my on the Commencement Date. Thereafter, information on the benchmark can be obtained from CIMB-Principal’s website at http://www.cimb-principal.com.my. * The Fund is neither a capital guaranteed fund nor a capital protected fund. ^ The fixed deposit rate is stated in percentage per annum. Hence, for the five (5)-year fixed deposit rate, it shows the annual rate of return in the five years, For example, if the fixed deposit rate at Commencement Date is 3% per annum, it means if an investor invest in fixed deposit for the next five years, he will earn 3% annually for the next five years. What is the fund distribution policy? The Fund will pay distribution on a semi-annual basis, depending on the level of income (if any) that the Fund generates. Unit holders should note that the Fund’s distributions are not guaranteed as it depends on the coupons received from the Structured Product, which is the Fund’s main source of income. However, pursuant to the Deed, the Manager has the right to make provisions for reserves in respect of distribution of the Fund. If the income available is too small or insignificant, any distribution may not be of benefit to the Unit holders as the total cost to be incurred in any such distribution may be higher than the amount for distribution. The Manager has the discretion to decide on the amount to be distributed to the Unit holders What was the net income distribution for the year ended 30 September 2013? The Fund distributed a total of RM 156 million income to unit holders for the financial year ended 30 September 2013. The Fund’s net asset value per unit after distributions is as follows: Date 14.02.2013 14.08.2013 NAV before distribution 1.0753 1.0736 Net distribution (sen per unit) 3.9222 3.8583 3 NAV after distribution 1.0360 1.0350 CIMB-PRINCIPAL STRUCTURED INVESTMENT WHOLESALE FUND PERFORMANCE DATA Details of portfolio composition of the Fund for the financial period is as follows: 30.09.2013 % 98.83 1.17 100.00 Structured Product Cash and other net assets Performance details of the Fund for the financial period are as follows: Net asset value (RM Million) Units in circulation (million) Net asset value per unit (RM) Highest NAV per unit (RM) Lowest NAV per unit (RM) Total return (%) - Capital growth (%) - Income distribution (%) Date of distribution Gross distribution per unit (sen) Net distribution per unit (sen) 14.02.2013 3.9222 3.9222 Management expense ratio (%) Portfolio turnover ratio (times) # 30.09.2013 2,043.95 2,005.00 1.0194 1.0751 1.0000 9.76 1.96 7.65 14.08.2013 3.8583 3.8583 0.09 0.49 Total Return % 8.98 - Since Inception Annualized Return % 8.98 (Launch date: 9 August 2012) #The portfolio turnover ratio was at 0.5 times as the investment activities kicked off during the inception of the Fund.

All performance figures for the financial years ended have been extracted from Lipper. 4 CIMB-PRINCIPAL STRUCTURED INVESTMENT WHOLESALE FUND MARKET REVIEW (9 AUGUST 2012 TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2013) In the fourth quarter of 2012, Malaysian Government Securities (MGS) yield curve gave a modest rally. The rally was primarily due to a mix of concerns, from the faltering confidence that the US may not be able to meet its fiscal cliff deadline as well as the unexpected decline in the Malaysian export figures. The MGS auction calendar for 2013 was released in December 2012, comprising 30 tenders of 15 MGS, 12 Government Investment Issues (GII) and 3 Skim Pinjaman Perumahan Kerajaan (SPK) auctions. In the first quarter of 2013, Malaysia launched its first Exchange Traded Bonds and Sukuk (ETBS) platform and DanaInfra Nasional Berhad became the first sukuk issuer with its RM300 million offering to tap the retail market. DanaInfra is the funding vehicle for Klang Valley’s Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) projects and the maiden retail sukuk has a tenure of 10 years and was priced at 4.00%. Proceeds from the issuance will be used to partly fund the MRT projects. The bullish sentiment in the bond market was further driven by external factors, as global market players were concerned that the Cyprus bailout would reignite the eurozone debt crisis. The domestic front was mostly quiet as market players remained in a cautious mood as they awaited the announcement of the dissolution of the Parliament for the 13th general election. During the second quarter of 2013, the MGS yield curve outperformed its regional counterparts in May, after the ruling coalition party Barisan Nasional recorded its 13th straight general election victory. However, the Malaysian bond market was not spared from the global rout in June, as jittery investors sold down the sovereign market in view of Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Bernanke’s tapering comments on the US Quantitative Easing (QE) programme. In the third quarter of 2013, the ringgit bond market suffered in July after Fitch became the first amongst the rating agencies to take a negative rating action when it revised the outlook of Malaysia’s sovereign to negative from stable. Thereon, geopolitical concerns, weak emerging markets’ currencies including the ringgit and the selloff in the equities markets weighed on the local government bonds. Towards the end of the period, local investors regained confidence following the country’s inaugural issuance of a 30-year MGS which received robust interest from the market. FUND PERFORMANCE Since inception to 30.09.2013 7.65 1.96 8.98 3.18 8.98 Income (%) Capital (%) Total Return (%) Benchmark (%) Average Total Return (%) Since inception, the Fund gained total return of 9.76%, outperforming the benchmark which gained 3.18%. The outperformance of the Fund was due to coupons received from the investment in Structured Product. 5 CIMB-PRINCIPAL STRUCTURED INVESTMENT WHOLESALE FUND FUND PERFORMANCE (CONTINUED) Changes in Net Asset Value (“NAV”) 30.09.2013 2,043.95 1.0194 NAV (RM Million) Net Asset Value per unit (RM Million) % Changes - The Fund’s total NAV stood at RM 2.04 billion while the NAV per unit was valued at RM 1.0194 as at 30 September 2013. Performance data represents the combined income and capital return as a result of holding units in the fund for the specified length of time, based on NAV to NAV price. The performance data assumes that all earnings from the fund are reinvested and are net of management and trustee fees. Past performance is not reflective of future performance and income distributions are not guaranteed. Unit prices and income distributions, if any, may fall and rise. All performance figures have been extracted from Lipper. PORTFOLIO STRUCTURE Asset allocation (% of NAV) 30.09.2013 Structured product 98.83 Cash and other net assets 1.17 TOTAL 100.00 The Fund remained fully invested during the period under review. Some cash and other liquid assets are maintained at all times primarily for liquidity purposes. 6 CIMB-PRINCIPAL STRUCTURED INVESTMENT WHOLESALE FUND PORTFOLIO STRUCTURE (CONTINUED) Asset allocation (continued) MARKET OUTLOOK We expect Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) to keep the overnight policy rate (OPR) at 3.0% for 2013. Despite rising inflation towards the end of the year, there is little impetus for the central bank to hike rates this year as higher inflation is mainly policy induced and not arising from demand pull factors. In its statement, BNM has turned more cautious highlighting the “increased uncertainties to the balance of risk” on growth and inflation outlook and noting the extended weakness in external conditions. In addition, fluctuations in currency thus far have mostly been driven by external shocks and dollar swings. INVESTMENT STRATEGY As this is a structured wholesale fund, the investment strategy has been preset at the inception of the Fund. The Fund will remain fully invested with minimal cash kept for liquidity purposes in order to fully participate in the investment into the Structured Product. UNIT HOLDING STATISTICS Breakdown of unit holdings by size as at 30 September 2013 are as follows: Size of unit holding No of unit holders No. of units held (million) % of units held 2 2 2,005.00 2,005.00 100.00 100.00 5,000 and below 5,001 to 10,000 10,001 to 50,000 50,001 to 500,000 500,001 and above 7 CIMB-PRINCIPAL STRUCTURED INVESTMENT WHOLESALE FUND SOFT COMMISSIONS AND REBATES The management company will not retain any form of rebate or soft commission from, or otherwise share in any commission with, any broker in consideration for directing dealings in the investments of the Funds unless the soft commission received is retained in the form of goods and services such as financial wire services and stock quotations system incidental to investment management of the Funds. All dealings with brokers are executed on best available terms. During the financial period under review, the management company did not receive any rebates and soft commissions from brokers or dealers. 8 CIMB-PRINCIPAL STRUCTURED INVESTMENT WHOLESALE FUND STATEMENT BY MANAGER TO THE UNITHOLDERS OF CIMB-PRINCIPAL STRUCTURED INVESTMENT WHOLESALE FUND I, being the Director of CIMB-Principal Asset Management Berhad (the “Manager”), do hereby state that, in the opinion of the Manager, the accompanying audited financial statements set out on pages 13 to 36 are drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Deed and give a true and fair view of the statement of financial position of the Fund as at 30 September 2013 and of its financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows for the financial period from 9 August 2012 (date of launch) to 30 September 2013 in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards.

Manager’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements The Manager of the Fund is responsible for the preparation of financial statements so as to give a true and fair view in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as the Manager determines are necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error. Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Fund’s preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view 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 Manager’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Manager, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. 11 CIMB-PRINCIPAL STRUCTURED INVESTMENT WHOLESALE FUND INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE UNITHOLDERS OF CIMB-PRINCIPAL STRUCTURED INVESTMENT WHOLESALE FUND (CONTINUED) REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements have been properly drawn up in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards so as to give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Fund as of 30 September 2013 and of its financial performance and cash flows for the financial period from 9 August 2012 (date of launch) to 30 September 2013.

THE FUND, THE MANAGER AND ITS PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY CIMB-Principal Structured Investment Wholesale Fund (the “Fund”) was constituted pursuant to the Master Deed dated 9 August 2012 (the “Deed”) between CIMB-Principal Asset Management Berhad (the “Manager”) and HSBC (Malaysia) Trustee Berhad (“the Trustee”). The CIMB-Principal Structured Investment Wholesale Fund is a close-ended fund in which at least 95% of the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) will be invested in a five (5)-year credit linked investment structured product (“Structured Product”) issued by CIMB Bank Berhad, while up to 5% of the remaining Fund’s NAV will be invested in liquid assets for liquidity purpose. The main objective of the Fund is to provide income and capital preservation for a period of five (5)-year by investing primarily in a credit linked investment Structured Product issued in Malaysia. All investments will be subject to the Securities Commission (“SC”) Guidelines on Wholesale Funds, SC requirements, the Deeds, except where exemptions or variations have been approved by the SC, internal policies and procedures and the Fund’s objective. The Manager, a company incorporated in Malaysia, is a subsidiary of CIMB Group Sdn Bhd and regards CIMB Group Holdings Berhad as its ultimate holding company. Its principal activities are the establishment and management of unit trusts and fund management activities. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following accounting policies have been used consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the financial statements: (a) Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS”) and International Financial Reporting Standards. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 17 CIMB-PRINCIPAL STRUCTURED INVESTMENT WHOLESALE FUND 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (a) Basis of preparation (continued) The preparation of financial statements in conformity with MFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported financial period. It also requires the Manager to exercise their judgment in the process of applying the Fund’s accounting policies. The Manager believes that the underlying assumptions are appropriate and the Fund’s financial statements therefore present the financial position results fairly. Although these estimates and judgment are based on the Manager’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may differ. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 2(l). (i) The standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards that are applicable to the Fund but not yet effective and have not been early adopted are as follows: Financial year beginning on/after 1 October 2013 • MFRS 13 “Fair value measurement” (effective from 1 January 2013) aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across MFRSs. The requirements do not extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards. The enhanced disclosure requirements are similar to those in MFRS 7 “Financial instruments: Disclosures”, but apply to all assets and liabilities measured at fair value, not just financial ones. This standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Fund’s financial statements. • Amendment to MFRS 7 “Financial instruments: Disclosures” (effective from 1 January 2013) requires more extensive disclosures focusing on quantitative information about recognised financial instruments that are offset in the statement of financial position and those that are subject to master netting or similar arrangements irrespective of whether they are offset. This standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Fund’s financial statements. 18 CIMB-PRINCIPAL STRUCTURED INVESTMENT WHOLESALE FUND 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (a) Basis of preparation (continued) (i) The standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards that are applicable to the Fund but not yet effective and have not been early adopted are as follows: (continued) Financial year beginning on/after 1 October2014 • Amendment to MFRS 132 “Financial instruments: Presentation” (effective from 1 January 2014) does not change the current offsetting model in MFRS 132. It clarifies the meaning of ‘currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off’ that the right of set-off must be available today (not contingent on a future event) and legally enforceable for all counterparties in the normal course of business. It clarifies that some gross settlement mechanisms with features that are effectively equivalent to net settlement will satisfy the MFRS 132 offsetting criteria. This standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Fund’s financial statements. Financial year beginning on/after 1 October 2015 • MFRS 9 “Financial instruments -classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities”(effective from 1 January 2015) replaces the multiple classification and measurement models in MFRS 139 with a single model that has only two classification categories: amortised cost and fair value. The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. The accounting and presentation for financial liabilities and for derecognising financial instruments has been relocated from MFRS 139, without change, except for financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). Entities with financial liabilities designated at FVTPL recognise changes in the fair value due to changes in the liability’s credit risk directly in other comprehensive income (OCI). There is no subsequent recycling of the amounts in OCI to profit or loss, but accumulated gains or losses may be transferred within equity. The guidance in MFRS 139 on impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting continues to apply. MFRS 7 requires disclosure on transition from MFRS 139 to MFRS 9. This standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Fund’s financial statements. 19 CIMB-PRINCIPAL STRUCTURED INVESTMENT WHOLESALE FUND 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (b) Financial assets and financial liabilities Classification The Fund designates its investment in five (5)-year credit linked investment structured product (“Structured Product”) as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss at inception. Financial assets are designated at fair value through profit or loss when they are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and have been included in current assets. The Fund’s loans and receivables comprise cash and cash equivalents. Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability. The Fund classifies accrued management fee, amount due to Trustee, other payables and accruals as other financial liabilities. Recognition and measurement Regular purchase and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade-date, the date on which the Fund commits to purchase or sell the asset. Structured products are initially recognised at fair value. Financial liabilities, within the scope of MFRS 139, are recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. The Structured Product is recorded at cost and subsequently revalued to their fair values as at the date of the statement of financial position. In accordance with the Deed, valuation of the Structured Product is provided by the issuer on a daily basis. As a counter check on the fair value provided by the issue, the Manager will perform a separate valuation on the Structured Product. The issuer’s pricing will be verified and any significant differences between the Manager’s valuation and the issuer’s valuation, and significant differences impacting the Fund’s net asset value would be investigated and adjusted accordingly. Financial liabilities are derecognised when it is extinguished, i.e. when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. Unrealised gains or losses from changes in the fair value of the investments are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within net gain or loss on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss in the period which they arise. 20 CIMB-PRINCIPAL STRUCTURED INVESTMENT WHOLESALE FUND 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (b) Financial assets and financial liabilities (continued) Deposits with licensed financial institutions are stated at cost plus accrued interest calculated on the effective interest method over the period from the date of placement to the date of maturity of the respective deposits. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. For assets carried at amortised cost, the Fund assesses at the end of the reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The asset’s carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. If ‘loans and receivables’ or a ‘held-to-maturity investment’ has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Fund may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price. As a practical expedient, the Fund may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in statement of comprehensive income. When an asset is uncollectible, it is written off against the related allowance account. Such assets are written off after all the necessary procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss has been determined. (c) Income recognition Interest income earned from short term deposits and investment in structured product is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest rate method. Realised gain or loss on disposal of investments is accounted for as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of investments, determined on a weighted average cost basis. 21 CIMB-PRINCIPAL STRUCTURED INVESTMENT WHOLESALE FUND 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (d) Functional and presentation currency (continued) Items included in 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, which is the Fund’s functional and presentation currency. (e) Creation and cancellation of units The Fund issues cancellable units, which are cancelled at the unitholder’s option and are classified as equity. Cancellable units can be returned to the Fund at any time for cash equal to a proportionate share of the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). The outstanding units are carried at the redemption amount that is payable at the statement of financial position date if the unitholder exercises the right to return the unit to the Fund. Units are created and cancelled at the unitholder’s option at prices based on the Fund’s NAV per unit at the time of creation or cancellation. The Fund’s NAV per unit is calculated by dividing the net assets attributable to unitholders with the total number of outstanding units. (f) Cash and cash equivalents For the purpose of statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and bank balances and deposits held in highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. (g) Taxation Current tax expense is determined according to Malaysian tax laws at the current rate based upon the taxable profit earned during the financial period. (h) Distributions A distribution to the Fund’s unitholders is accounted for as a deduction from realised reserve. Proposed distributions to unit holders are recognised in the statement of changes in equity upon approval by the Board of Directors of the Manager. (i) Unitholders’ capital The unitholders’ contributions to the Fund meet the definition of puttable instruments classified as equity instruments under MFRS 132 “Financial Instruments: Presentation”. The units in the Fund are puttable instruments which entitle the unitholders to a prorate share of the net asset of the Fund. The units are subordinated and have identical features. There is no contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset other than the obligation on the Fund to repurchase the units. The total expected cashflows from the units in the Fund over the life of the units are based on the change in the net asset of the Fund. 22 CIMB-PRINCIPAL STRUCTURED INVESTMENT WHOLESALE FUND 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (j) Segmental information A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting used by the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments. (k) Fair value of financial instruments Financial instruments comprise financial assets and financial liabilities. Fair value is the amount at which a financial asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable and willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. The information presented herein represents the estimates of fair values as at the date of the statement of financial position. Financial instruments of the Fund are as follows: 2013 Structured Product (Note 8) Cash and cash equivalents (Note 9) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss RM Loans and receivables RM Total RM 2,040,603,068 - 2,040,603,068 ────────── 2,040,603,068 ═════════ 3,501,679 ───────── 3,501,679 ═════════ 3,501,679 ─────────── 2,044,104,747 ═══════════ All current liabilities are financial liabilities which are carried at amortised cost. (l) Critical accounting estimates and judgments in applying accounting policies The Fund makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, rarely equal the related actual results. To enhance the information content of the estimates, certain key variables that are anticipated to have material impact to the Funds’ results and financial position are tested for sensitivity to changes in the underlying parameters. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated by the Manager and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In undertaking any of the Fund’s investment, the Manager will ensure that all assets of the Fund under management will be valued appropriately, that is at fair value and in compliance with the SC Guidelines on Wholesale Funds. 23 CIMB-PRINCIPAL STRUCTURED INVESTMENT WHOLESALE FUND 3. RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES The investment objective of the Fund is to provide income and capital preservation for a period of five (5) years by investing primarily in a credit linked investment structured product issued in Malaysia. The CIMB-Principal Structured Investment Wholesale Fund is a closeended fund in which at least 95% of the Fund’s NAV will be invested in a five (5)-year credit linked investment structured product (“Structured Product”) to be issued by CIMB Bank Berhad*, while up to5% of the remaining Fund’s NAV will be invested in liquid assets for liquidity purpose. The Structured Product is not a principal protected or guaranteed investment. The Structured Product is not insured by the Perbadanan Insurans Deposit Malaysia (also known as the Malaysia Deposit Insurance Corporation).As the Structured Product is a credit linked investment structured product, the performance of the Structured Product is linked to the performance of its underlying asset (the “Reference Obligation”), which is a five (5)-year senior unsecured bond that is unrated, non-tradable and non-transferable. Through this Structured Product, subject to non-occurrence of any Events, the Fund will receive semiannual coupon payments from the Structured Product, via the semi-annual coupon payments received from the Reference Obligation, which will then be distributed to the unitholders. The Fund is exposed to a variety of risks which include market risk (inclusive of price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk, liquidity risk, non-compliance risk and capital risk. Financial risk management is carried out through internal control process adopted by the Manager and adherence to the investment restrictions as stipulated by the information memorandum and SC Guidelines on Wholesale Fund. (a) Market risk (i) Price risk Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Structured Product will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The Fund’s overall exposure to price risk was as follows: 2013 RM 5-Year Credit Linked Investment Structured Product designated at fair value through profit or loss 24 2,040,603,068 ═══════════ CIMB-PRINCIPAL STRUCTURED INVESTMENT WHOLESALE FUND 3. RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED) (a) Market risk (continued) (i) Price risk (continued) The table below summarises the sensitivity of the Fund’s net asset value and profit after tax to movements in prices of Structured Product at the end of the reporting period. The analysis is based on the assumptions that the price of the Structured Product increased and decreased by 5% with all the other variables held constant. This represents management’s best estimate of a reasonable possible shift in the Structured Product, having regard to the historical volatility of the prices. % Change in price of structured product 2013 -5% 0% 5% ═════════ (ii) Market value RM Impact on profit after taxation/net asset value RM 1,938,572,915 2,040,603,068 2,142,633,221 ═══════════ (102,030,153) 102,030,153 ═══════════ Interest rate risk In general, when interest rates rise, Structured Product prices will tend to fall and vice versa. Therefore, the NAV of the Fund may also tend to fall when interest rates rise or are expected to rise. However, investors should be aware that should the Fund hold a Structured Product till maturity, such price fluctuations would dissipate as it approaches maturity, and thus the growth of the NAV shall not be affected at maturity. In order to mitigate interest rates exposure of the Fund, the Manager will manage the duration of the portfolio via shorter or longer tenured assets depending on the view of the future interest rate trend of the Manager, which is based on its continuous fundamental research and analysis. This risk is crucial in a Structured Product fund since Structured Product portfolio management depends on forecasting interest rate movements. Prices of Structured Product move inversely to interest rate movements, therefore as interest rates rise, the prices of Structured Product decrease and vice versa. Furthermore, Structured Product with longer maturity and lower yield coupon rates are more susceptible to interest rate movements. Investors should note that Structured Product and money market instruments are subject to interest rate fluctuations. Such investments may be subject to unanticipated rise in interest rates which may impair the ability of the issuers to make payments of interest income and principal, especially if the issuers are highly leveraged. An increase in interest rates may therefore increase the potential for default by an issuer. 25 CIMB-PRINCIPAL STRUCTURED INVESTMENT WHOLESALE FUND 3. RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED) (a) Market risk (continued) (ii) Interest rate risk (continued) The table below summarises the sensitivity of the Fund’s profit after tax and net asset value to movements in prices of Structured Product held by the Fund at the end of the reporting period as a result of movement in interest rate. The analysis is based on the assumptions that the interest rate increased and decreased by 100 basis points (1%) with all other variables held constant. The analysis is also based on the assumption that the Issuer and the Manager will not exercise the call and put option to withdraw or redeem from the Structured Product at Par Value, in whole or in part, during the tenure of the Structured Product. This represents management’s best estimate of a reasonable possible shift in the interest rate, having regard to the historical volatility of the interest rate. % Change in interest rate Impact on profit after taxation / net asset value 2013 RM (66,080,158) 68,803,521 ══════════ +1% -1% The Fund’s exposure to interest rate risk associated with deposit with a licensed financial institution is not material as the carrying value of the deposit is a reasonable estimate of fair value as the deposit are held on a short term basis. (b) Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Fund. The credit risk arising from placements of deposits in licensed financial institutions is managed by ensuring that the Fund will only place deposits in reputable licensed financial institutions. The credit/default risk is minimal as all transactions in Structured Product are settled/paid upon delivery using approved brokers. The following table sets out the credit risk concentration of the Fund at the end of each reporting period: Structured product at fair value through profit or loss RM Cash and cash equivalents RM Total RM 2013 Industry Finance -AAA 2,040,603,068 ═══════════ 3,501,679 2,044,104,747 ════════════ ══════════ All financial assets of the Fund are neither past due nor impaired. 26 CIMB-PRINCIPAL STRUCTURED INVESTMENT WHOLESALE FUND 3. RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED) (c) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk can be defined as the ease with which a security can be sold at or near its fair value depending on the volume traded in the market. If a security encounters a liquidity crunch, the security may need to be sold at a discount to the market fair value of the security. This in turn would depress the NAV and/or growth of the Fund. Generally, all investments 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 Manager manages this risk by maintaining sufficient level of liquid assets to meet anticipated payments and cancellations of the units by unitholders. Liquid assets comprise bank balance, deposits with licensed financial institutions and other instruments, which are capable of being converted into cash within 7 business days. The table below summarises the Fund’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period as at the end of the reporting period to the contractual maturity date. The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. 2013 Accrued management fee Amount due to Trustee Other payables and accruals Contractual cash out flows (d) Less than 1 month RM Between 1 month to 1 year RM Total RM 85,974 47,286 ───────── 133,260 ═════════ 17,000 ───────── 17,000 ═════════ 85,974 47,286 17,000 ───────── 150,260 ═════════ Non-compliance risk Non-compliance risk arises when the Manager and others associated with the Fund do not follow the rules set out in the Fund’s constitution, or the law that govern the Fund, or act fraudulently or dishonestly. It also includes the risk of the Manager not complying with internal control procedures. The non-compliance may expose the Fund to higher risks which may result in a fall in the value of the Fund which in turn may affect its investment goals. However, the risk can be mitigated by the internal controls and compliance monitoring undertaken by the Manager. 27 CIMB-PRINCIPAL STRUCTURED INVESTMENT WHOLESALE FUND 3. RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED) (e) Capital risk management The capital of the Fund is represented by equity consisting of unitholders’ capital and retained earnings. The amount of equity can change significantly on a daily basis as the Fund is subject to daily subscriptions and redemptions at the discretion of unitholders. The Fund’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for unitholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain a strong capital base to support the development of the investment activities of the Fund. (f) Fair value estimation The fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Fund uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each period end date. Valuation techniques used for non-standardised financial instruments such as options, currency swaps and other over-the-counter derivatives, include the use of comparable recent arm’s length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models and other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants making the maximum use of market inputs and relying as little as possible on entity-specific inputs. For instruments for which there is no active market, the Fund may use internally developed models, which are usually based on valuation methods and techniques generally recognised as standard within the industry. Valuation models are used primarily to value unlisted equity, debt securities and other debt instruments for which market were or have been inactive during the financial period. Some of the inputs to these models may not be market observable and are therefore estimated based on assumptions. The output of a model is always an estimate or approximation of a value that cannot be determined with certainty, and valuation techniques employed may not fully reflect all factors relevant to the positions the Fund holds. Valuations are therefore adjusted, where appropriate, to allow for additional factors including model risk, liquidity risk and counterparty risk. The fair value are based on the following methodology and assumptions: (i) Bank balance and deposits and placements with financial institutions with maturities less than 1 year, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. (ii) The carrying value less impairment provision of receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The carrying value of the financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short term nature. 28 CIMB-PRINCIPAL STRUCTURED INVESTMENT WHOLESALE FUND 3. RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED) (f) Fair value estimation (continued) Fair value hierarchy The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows: • • • Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (Level 2) Inputs for the asset and liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level 3) The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety. If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a Level 3 measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability. The determination of what constitutes ‘observable’ requires significant judgment by the Fund. The Fund considers observable data to be that market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. Level 1 RM Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: - Structured product Level 2 RM Level 3 RM Total RM 2,040,603,068 ═══════════ 2,040,603,068 ═══════════ Section 1.01 ═════════ ═══════════ Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently. Level 3instruments include the Structured Product. As observable prices are not available for these securities, the Fund has used valuation techniques to derive the fair value. The Fund’s policies on valuation of these financial assets are stated in Note 2(b). 29 CIMB-PRINCIPAL STRUCTURED INVESTMENT WHOLESALE FUND 4. MANAGEMENT FEE In accordance with Clause 24(1) of the Master Deed dated 9 August 2012, the Manager is entitled to a maximum management fee of 3.00% per annum, calculated daily based on the net asset value of the Fund. For the financial period from 9 August 2012 (date of launch) to 30 September 2013, the management fee is recognised at a rate of 0.05% per annum. There will be no further liability to the Manager in respect of management fee other than the amount recognised above. 5. TRUSTEE’SFEE In accordance with Clause 24(2) of the Master Deed dated 9 August 2012, the Trustee is entitled to a fee not exceeding 0.15% per annum calculated based on the net asset value of the Fund, subject to a minimum fee of RM30,000 per annum. For the financial period from 9 August 2012 (date of launch) to30 September 2013, the Trustee fee is recognised at a rate of 0.0275% per annum.

The Reference Obligation is a five (5)-year senior unsecured bond that is unrated, non-tradable and non-transferable. The performance of the Structured Product is referenced to the credit performance of the Reference Entity and the performance of the Reference Obligation. Through the Reference Obligation, the Structured Product (subject to nonoccurrence of any Events) pays the semi-annual coupons as well as the Principal Amount (adjusted for any Call Amount) at its maturity. The embedded financial derivatives consist of a call and a put option. The call option, when exercised will allow the Issuer to withdraw from the Structured Product at Par Value, whether in whole or in part, at any time during the tenure of the Structured Product. Whilst the put option, when exercised will allow the Manager to redeem from the Structured Product at Par Value, in whole, at any time during the tenure of the Structured Product. As the Structured Product is a credit linked investment structured product that is referenced to the credit performance of a bond, the performance of the Structured Product is subject to the occurrence of events on the Reference Obligation and its issuer, the Reference Entity, which affects the Structured Product. Upon occurrence of such events, the Structured Product may be terminated earlier than its maturity and the Fund may receive less than its Principal Amount (adjusted for Call Amount, if any) plus returns if otherwise held to its maturity, including the possibility of some degree of loss on the Principal Amount or stand to lose the entire Principal Amount. 32 CIMB-PRINCIPAL STRUCTURED INVESTMENT WHOLESALE FUND 9.
