2.3 Investment strategies and policies employed during the fi nancial year under review

For the fi nancial year under review, the Fund invested primarily in a mixture of equity securities, fi xed income securities and money market instruments in order to achieve diversifi cation in the portfolio. The strategy employed for equity was in line with that disclosed in the Master Prospectus.

For Fixed Income, the focus was on corporate bonds with target exposure at circa 30% – 40% over the fi nancial year under review.

2.4 The Fund’s asset allocation as at 30 November 2015 and comparison with the previous fi nancial year

Asset 30 Nov 2015 30 Nov 2014 Quoted investment securities 53.1% 49.6% Unquoted corporate bonds 32.7% 30.2% Unquoted government guaranteed bonds 2.3% 2.0% Short term deposits and cash 11.9% 18.2%

Reason for the differences in asset allocation

The Fund’s equity exposure was increased to 53.1% as at 30 November 2015 from 49.6% in 30 November 2014 mainly because of cash deployment to buy stocks with favourable growth profi le.

2.5 Fund performance analysis based on NAV per unit (adjusted for income distribution; if any) since last review period

The Fund outperformed the benchmark by 4.20% with a return of 1.04% for the fi nancial year under review. The outperformance was mainly due to stock selection.

2.6 Review of the market

Equity Market Review

The year began with a broad-based sell-off across markets. This was as a slew of macroeconomic concerns, such as: i) a deceleration in global economic growth, ii) defl ationary risks, iii) low commodity prices, and iv) concerns that the ECB may not meet the market’s expectations for a full-scale quantitative easing (QE), defl ated market sentiment. Subsequently, regional markets in countries that are net oil importers saw gains in their markets, as low crude oil prices provided central banks with more room for accommodative monetary measures.

The FBM KLCI rebounded in mid-January, tracking crude oil prices that saw an interim low that month. The revision of the 2015 Budget on 20 Jan, to factor in: i) a lower USD55 per barrel (bbl) crude oil price assumption, ii) savings from the removal of retail fuel subsidies, and iii) the maintenance of the dividend payout by Petronas in 2015, helped reassure markets about the country’s fi scal health. However, the gains were reversed and the bellwether index remained stuck in a range-bound pattern when the Fitch Rating Agency (Fitch) warned of a possible downgrade to Malaysia’s sovereign rating. On the

Equity Market Review (Contd.)

external front, the ECB’s announcement of a full-scale QE towards the end of January helped offset rising concerns of a Greek exit (Grexit) from the Eurozone after the anti-austerity Syriza party was elected to power in the EU member state.

At the end of June, Greece shut down its banking system for six days and exerted controls to prevent funds from fl owing out of the country. On 30 Jun, Fitch announced that it had affi rmed Malaysia’s long-term foreign currency sovereign credit rating at “A-”, with the outlook upgraded to “Stable” from “Negative”. However, the Fitch’s rating upgrade did little to excite the market, as the perceived threat of contagion from Greece continued to defl ate investor sentiment.

The FBM KLCI buckled under strong selling pressure when China announced a surprise devaluation of the CNY in mid-August, which sent markets reeling across the globe. The move sparked concerns over fl agging growth in the world’s second-largest economy, as well as the implications of a cheaper CNY on the demand for Malaysian exports and commodity prices.

On 14 Sep, the FBM KLCI traded higher as Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Najib Razak unveiled a slew of stimulus measures aimed at strengthening the economy, amongst which included the pumping of MYR20bn into ValueCap to invest in undervalued Malaysian stocks. During the September FOMC meeting, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) left US interest rates unchanged in view of the weak global economy, persistently low infl ation and unstable fi nancial markets.

On 5 Oct, the US and 11 other nations (including Malaysia) reached the landmark Trans-Pacifi c Partnership (TPP) deal, which would lower trade barriers to goods and services, and set commercial rules for two-fi fths of the global economy. A combination of the aforementioned factors lifted market sentiment and pushed the benchmark index above 1,700 pts for most of October. The 2016 Budget announced on 23 Oct had limited impact on the local benchmark and the MYR. However, the local benchmark retreated when Fitch raised doubts over Malaysia’s ability to achieve its fi scal defi cit target of 3.1% in 2016. The index further declined in the wake of the Fed’s October meeting, where the central bank stood pat on rates but explicitly signalled that a December rate hike could be fi rmly in play.

The FBM KLCI rebounded momentarily in early November as Brent crude breached the USD50 per bbl mark for the fi rst time since end-July. However, the market later reversed into a decline as optimistic US jobs data for October strengthened the case for a rate hike by the Fed in December. The local bourse breathed a sigh of relief and rallied on the proposed sale of Edra Global Energy – a unit of a government-linked company (GLC) that is wholly-owned by the MOF – to a China state-owned fi rm for MYR9.83bn (USD2.3bn) on 23 Nov. This has been seen as a key step for the state fund to pare down its debt and restore confi dence.

2.6 Review of the market (Contd.)

Equity Market Outlook

Overall, we remain cautiously optimistic on equities in 2016 as uncertainty over the pace of interest rate normalisation in US and sluggish economic recovery globally will keep volatility high at least in 1H16. While US and Europe will recover modestly, weakness in China and its policy direction, alongside with reversal of capital fl ows globally on the back of higher funding cost in US post rate hike will exert pressure in emerging markets. However, Malaysia was one of the worst performing markets in USD term in 2015, and now with some external risks being partially priced in and currency weakness refl ected domestic headwinds, we believe valuations have emerged. Stock picking remains key for outperformance as not all sectors of the economy are expected to do well amid the sluggish domestic demand. We continue to favour certain sectors like exporters, construction, infrastructure and technology. Exporters are expected to benefi t from recovering external demand and favourable forex impact while government infra spending remains another bright spot with construction GDP growing at double the pace of headline GDP, as the government commits to mega transportation-related projects such as MRT and LRT.

Fixed Income Market Review

Markets were grappling with timing of fi rst Fed hiking cycle, slowing Chinese growth and renewed plunge in commodity prices. The spectre of Fed normalization loomed even as the markets were heavily discounting timing of hikes and this kept 10-year US Treasury (UST) yields fi rmly at the bottom half of its 2.0-2.5% trading range for most part of 2015.

Market has been forced to contend with a curveball from People’s Bank of China (PBoC) as well. Concerns on the Chinese economy were unavoidable with early sign of warning on the back of one-off Chinese Yuan’s (CNY devaluation that stoked fears of competitive devaluation.

In Asia, implied short-term rates were generally higher. The performance of Asian government bonds have been mixed given the nature of being commodity or trade dependent. Commodity producers such as Malaysia and Indonesia performed poorly while China, Korea and Taiwan government bonds performed well with disappointing macro sentiments.

Malaysian sovereign bonds recovered partial losses towards year-end demand with net-buying interest from offshore players and temporary spike in crude oil prices. Yield curve ended steeper as gains were skewed towards the front end of the curve.

At fi nancial year end, the 3-, 5-, 7- and 10-year benchmark MGS yields settled at a respective 3.42% (+33 bps), 3.70% (+9 bps), 4.08% (+4 bps) and 4.20% (+13 bps) y-o-y.

6Kenanga Diversifi ed Fund Annual Report

2.6 Review of the market (Contd.)

Fixed Income Market Outlook

2016 will be a year of relative value rather than an outright directional gain and learning to react as liquidity begins to tighten and credit spreads to widen further as defaults are likely to rise moderately. Rate adjustments will likely prove greater in the front end of the curve on a bear fl attening formation.

In the case of Malaysia, we continue to expect Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) to keep policy rate steady at 3.25% this year but weak commodity prices, high loan-deposit ratio and decline in excess liquidity in the system will push 3-month KLIBOR and front-end RM swap rates higher in the process.

Sovereign rating is expected to remain stable due to fi scal sustainability, declining household debts, return of investment cycle and improving credit metrics as measured by 5-year credit default swap. Ringgit Malaysia’s risk premium is expected to recede, which will at least limit underperformance from here. Risk of twin defi cits is easing as the focus is shifting to import compression and exports are benefi tting from over-sold currency.

3.2 Performance details of the Fund for the last 3 fi nancial years ended 30 November are as follows:

FY 2015 FY 2014 FY 2013 Net asset value (“NAV”) (RM Million) 4.33* 5.11 39.71 Units in circulation (Million) 5.02 5.98 46.80 NAV per unit (RM) 0.8634* 0.8545* 0.8485 Highest NAV per unit (RM) 0.8897 0.9141 0.8521 Lowest NAV per unit (RM) 0.7904 0.8425 0.7517 Total return (%) 1.04 0.71 12.73 - Capital growth (%) 1.04 0.71 12.73 - Income growth (%) - - - Gross distribution per unit (sen) - - - Net distribution per unit (sen) - - - Management expense ratio (“MER”) (%)1 2.76 1.91 1.68 Portfolio turnover ratio (“PTR”) (times)2 0.68 1.37 1.61

Note: Total return is the actual return of the Fund for the respective fi nancial years, computed based on NAV per unit and net of all fees.

MER is computed based on the total fees and expenses incurred by the Fund divided by the average fund size calculated on a daily basis. PTR is computed based on the average of the total acquisitions and total disposals of investment securities of the Fund divided by the average fund size calculated on a daily basis.

Above NAV and NAV per unit are not shown as ex-distribution as there were no distribution declared by the Fund in the current fi nancial year under review.

1 MER is higher against previous fi nancial year mainly due to decrease in average fund

size during the fi nancial year under review.

2 PTR is lower against the previous fi nancial year due to the adoption of new universe of stocks and investment policy while the Fund focused more on growth rather than trading stocks.

* Based on bid price fair valuation method on all investments held by the Fund as at 30 November 2015, the NAV and NAV per unit would be RM4.32 million and RM0.8610 respectively.

7.5 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2015

1. THE FUND, THE MANAGER AND THEIR PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Kenanga Diversifi ed Fund (the “Fund”) was constituted pursuant to the executed Deed dated 16 April 2004 (collectively, together with deeds supplemental thereto, referred to as “the Deed”) between the Manager, Kenanga Funds Berhad, and CIMB Commerce Trustee Berhad (“the Trustee”). The Fund commenced operations on 23 April 2004 and will continue to be in operation until terminated by the Trustee as provided under Clause 38 of the Deed.

Pursuant to the executed Seventh Supplemental Deed dated 15 May 2013 between Kenanga Investors Berhad and CIMB Commerce Trustee Berhad, Kenanga Investors Berhad was appointed as the Manager of the Fund with effect from 8 June 2013.

Kenanga Investors Berhad is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad, which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of K & N Kenanga Holdings Berhad that is listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. All of these companies are incorporated in Malaysia.

The principal place of business of the Manager is Suite 12.02, 12th Floor, Kenanga International, Jalan Sultan Ismail, 50250 Kuala Lumpur.

The Fund seeks to provide investors capital appreciation with stability of income over a medium to long term investment horizon from a diversifi ed investment portfolio. The investments include a mixture of equity securities, fi xed income securities and money market instruments.

The fi nancial statements were authorised for issue by the Chief Executive Offi cer of the Manager on 26 January 2016.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

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

20Kenanga Diversifi ed Fund Annual Report

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTD.) a. Market Risk Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash fl ows of a fi nancial instrument

will fl uctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk includes interest rate risk and price risk.

Market risk arises when the value of the investments fl uctuates in response to the activities of individual companies, general market or economic conditions. It stems from the fact that there are economy-wide perils, which threaten all businesses. Hence, investors are exposed to market uncertainties. Fluctuation in the investments’ prices caused by uncertainties in the economic, political and social environment will affect the NAV of the Fund.

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

i. Interest rate risk

The risk refers to how the changes in the interest rate environment would affect the valuation of Fund’s investments. Rate offered by the fi nancial institutions will fl uctuate according to the Overnight Policy Rate determined by Bank Negara Malaysia and this has direct correlation with the Fund’s investments in unquoted corporate bonds, unquoted government guaranteed bonds and deposits.

The Fund’s exposure to the interest rate risk is mainly confi ned to unquoted corporate bonds and unquoted government guaranteed bonds.

Interest rate risk sensitivity

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Fund’s profi t for the fi nancial year to a reasonably possible change in rate of return, with all other variables held constant.

Effect on profi t Changes in rate for the year Increase/(decrease) Increase/(decrease) Basis points RM 2015 Financial assets at FVTPL 5/(5) 741/(741) 2014 Financial assets at FVTPL 5/(5) 820/(820)

ii. Price risk

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

Price risk sensitivity

The Manager’s best estimate of the effect on the profi t for the fi nancial year due to a reasonably possible change in investments in quoted equity securities, quoted collective investment schemes and quoted warrants with all other variables held constant is indicated in the table below:

Effect on profi t Changes in price for the year Increase/(decrease) Increase/(decrease) Basis points RM 2015 Financial assets at FVTPL 5/(5) 1,134/(1,134) 2014 Financial assets at FVTPL 5/(5) 1,270/(1,270)

In practice, the actual trading results may differ from the sensitivity analysis above and the difference could be material.

b. Credit Risk

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

ii. Financial assets that are either past due or impaired

As at the reporting date, there are no fi nancial assets that are either past due or impaired.

c. Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is defi ned as the risk that the Fund will encounter diffi culty in meeting obligations associated with fi nancial liabilities that are to be settled by delivering cash or another fi nancial 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 unitholders by the Manager are cancellable at the unitholder’s option based on the Fund’s NAV per unit at the time of cancellation calculated in accordance with the Deed.

The liquid assets comprise cash, deposits with licensed fi nancial institutions and other instruments, which are capable of being converted into cash within 7 days.

i) Financial assets

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

iii) Equity

As the unitholders can request for redemption of their units, they have been categorised as having a maturity of “up to 1 year”. As a result, it appears that the Fund has a liquidity gap within “up to 1 year”. However, the Fund believes that it would be able to liquidate its investments should the need arises to satisfy all the redemption requirements.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Basis of Accounting The fi nancial 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”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous fi nancial year except for the adoption of the new and amended MFRS and Interpretation Committee (“IC”) Interpretations which became effective for the Fund on 1 December 2014. The adoption of the new and amended MFRS and IC Interpretations did not have any signifi cant impact on the fi nancial position or performance of the Fund.

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

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)

b. Standards, Amendments and Interpretations Issued But Not Yet Effective

As at the date of authorisation of these fi nancial statements, the following Standards, Amendments and Interpretations that have been issued by MASB will be effective for the Fund in future periods. The Fund intends to adopt the relevant standards when they become effective.

Effective for fi nancial period beginning on Description or after Amendments to MFRS contained in the documents entitled “Annual Improvements to MFRS 2012 - 2014 cycle” 1 January 2016 MFRS 14: Regulatory Deferral Accounts 1 January 2016 Amendments to MFRS 10, MFRS 12 and MFRS 128: Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception 1 January 2016 Amendments to MFRS 10 and MFRS 128: Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture 1 January 2016 Amendments to MFRS 11: Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations 1 January 2016 Amendments to MFRS 101: Disclosure Initiative 1 January 2016 Amendments to MFRS 116 and MFRS 138: Clarifi cation of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation 1 January 2016 Amendments to MFRS 116 and MFRS 141: Agriculture: Bearer Plants 1 January 2016 Amendments to MFRS 127: Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements 1 January 2016 MFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers 1 January 2018 MFRS 9: Financial Instruments (IFRS 9: Financial Instruments as issued by IASB in July 2014) 1 January 2018

The Fund will adopt the above pronouncements when they become effective in the respective fi nancial periods. These pronouncements are not expected to have any signifi cant impact to the fi nancial statements of the Fund upon their initial application, other than MFRS 9.

MFRS 9 replaces MFRS 139 on the following requirements: classifi cation and measurement of fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities as defi ned in MFRS 139, impairment methodology and hedge accounting. The Fund is in the process of making an assessment of the impact of this Standard.

29 Kenanga Diversifi ed Fund Annual Report

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)

c. Financial Assets

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

When fi nancial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of fi nancial assets not at FVTPL, directly attributable transaction costs.

The Fund determines the classifi cation of its fi nancial assets at initial recognition.

i. Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets are classifi ed as fi nancial assets at FVTPL if they are held for trading or are designated as such upon initial recognition.

Financial assets held for trading include quoted equity securities, quoted collective investment schemes, quoted warrants, unquoted corporate bonds and unquoted government guaranteed bonds acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term.

Subsequent to initial recognition, fi nancial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of those fi nancial instruments are recorded in profi t or loss.

Interest earned and dividend revenue elements of such instruments are recorded separately in “interest income” and “dividend income”, respectively.

ii. Receivables

Financial assets with fi xed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classifi ed as receivables.

Subsequent to initial recognition, receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gain or loss is recognised in profi t or loss when the receivable is derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.

A fi nancial asset is derecognised when the contractual right to receive cash fl ows from the asset has expired. On derecognition of a fi nancial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received is recognised in profi t or loss.

30Kenanga Diversifi ed Fund Annual Report

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)

d. Impairment of Financial Assets

The Fund assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a fi nancial asset is impaired.

To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on fi nancial assets has been incurred, the Fund considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or signifi cant fi nancial diffi culties of the debtor and default or signifi cant delay in payments.

If any such evidence exists, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash fl ows discounted at the fi nancial asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profi t or loss.

The carrying amount of the fi nancial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all fi nancial assets, with the exception of receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a receivable becomes uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account.

If in a subsequent year, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the assets does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in profi t or loss.

e. Income

Income is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefi ts will fl ow to the Fund and the income can be reliably measured. Income is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable.

Interest income which includes the accretion of discount and amortisation of premium on fi xed income securities is recognised using the effective interest method.

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

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

f. Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of the statement of cash fl ows, cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and short term deposits with licensed fi nancial institutions.

31 Kenanga Diversifi ed Fund Annual Report

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)

g. Income Tax

Income tax on the profi t or loss for the fi nancial year comprises current tax. Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profi t for the fi nancial year.

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

h. Unrealised Reserves

Unrealised reserves represent the net gain or loss arising from carrying investments at their fair values at reporting date. This reserve is not distributable.

i. Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are classifi ed according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the defi nitions of a fi nancial liability.

Financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of fi nancial position when, and only when, the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the fi nancial instrument. The Fund’s fi nancial liabilities are classifi ed as other fi nancial liabilities. The Fund’s fi nancial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

A fi nancial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished. Gains and losses are recognised in profi t or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process.

j. Unitholders’ Contribution – NAV Attributable to Unitholders

The unitholders’ contribution to the Fund is classifi ed 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 unitholders by way of distribution and/or adjusted accordingly when units are released back to the Trustee.

k. Functional and Presentation Currency

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

l. Distribution

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

32Kenanga Diversifi ed Fund Annual Report

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)

m. Signifi cant Accounting Judgments and Estimates

The preparation of fi nancial 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
