Past performance of a fund is not a reliable indicator of its future performance. You are advised that unit prices and distributions payable, if any, may go down as well as up. Any comparison between the past performance of a fund against its benchmark is made on the basis that the benchmark selected is reflective of the fund’s underlying investments.
You should understand the risks of the fund(s), compare and consider the fees, charges and costs involved in investing in the fund(s).
Our unit trust/ PRS funds offerings are available in Malaysia only.
Where unit split or distribution is declared, you are advised that following the issue of additional units and/ or distribution, the net asset value (NAV) per unit will be reduced accordingly to reflect/ account for the unit split and/ or distribution.
Where a unit split is declared, you should note that the total value of your investment/ contribution in Ringgit Malaysia terms will remain unchanged after the distribution of additional units.
While it is our policy to discourage loan financing in the purchase of units, nevertheless, this facility is available to interested investors. However, you are advised to read and understand the contents of the unit trust loan financing risk disclosure statement before deciding to borrow to purchase units.
You should make your own assessment of the merits and risks of the investment. If in doubt, you should seek for professional advice.

Lipper Fund Volatility
The Volatility Factor (VF) means there is a possibility for the fund in generating an upside return or downside return around this VF. The Volatility Class (VC) is assigned by Lipper based on quintile ranks of VF for qualified funds. VF is subject to monthly revision and VC is revised every six months or other interval as advised by FIMM. The volatility banding for the “Very Low”, “Low”, “Moderate”, “High” and “Very High” VCs as at 31 December 2022 are 0.000 ≤ VF ≤ 4.875, 4.875 < VF ≤ 11.695, 11.695 < VF ≤ 15.380, 15.380 < VF ≤ 18.830 and VF more than 18.830 respectively. For this period to 30 June 2023 the VCs for the funds are based on the VFs of the respective funds as at 31 December 2022. The fund’s portfolio may have changed since this date and there is no guarantee that the fund will continue to have the same VF or VC in the future. Presently, only funds launched in the market for at least 36 months will display the VF and its VC.
Lipper Disclaimer
Lipper ratings for Total Return reflect funds' historical total return performance relative to peers. Lipper ratings for Consistent Return reflect funds' historical risk-adjusted returns, adjusted for volatility, relative to peers. Lipper ratings for Preservation reflect funds' historical loss avoidance relative to other funds within the same asset class. Preservation ratings are relative, rather than absolute measures, and funds named Lipper Leaders for Preservation may still experience losses periodically; those losses may be larger for equity and mixed equity funds than fixed income funds.
The Lipper ratings are subject to change every month and are based on an equal-weighted average of percentile ranks for the Total Return, Consistent Return & Preservation metrics over three-, five-, and ten-year periods (if applicable). The highest 20% of funds in each peer group are named Lipper Leaders or a score of 5, the next 20% receive a score of 4, the middle 20% are scored 3, the next 20% are scored 2, and the lowest 20% are scored 1.
Lipper ratings are not intended to predict future results, and Lipper does not guarantee the accuracy of this information. More information is available at www.lipperleaders.com.
