4. RISK FACTORS
Any investment carries with it an element of risk. Therefore, prior to making an investment, prospective
INVESTORS should consider the following risk factors in addition to the other information set out in this
prospectus.
The selection of securities which make up the assets of the Funds is a subjective process. Securities
selected by the investment manager may perform better or worse than the overall stock market, or as
compared to portfolios selected by their competitors.
This risk is managed by having a professional and experienced fund manager who is responsible to
make fully informed decisions regarding investment.
2. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk refers to the Fund’s ability to convert an investment into cash without incurring an overly
significant loss in value, If a security encounters a liquidity crunch, the security may need to be sold at a
discount to the fair market value of the security. This in turn may affect the performance of the Funds or
the ability of the Fund to honour requests for redemption by unitholders.
The risk can be minimised by actively managing asset allocation of the Fund and maintaining sufficient
level of liquid assets to meet anticipated payments and cancellation of units by Unitholders.
3. Inflation/Purchasing
Inflation / PurchasingPower
PowerRisk
Risk
A unit trust fund is subject to the risk of an investor’s investment not growing proportionately to the
inflation rate thus decreasing the investor’s purchasing power even though the investment in monetary
terms has increased. The risk can be minimised by investing in securities that can provide a real rate of
return that equals or exceed the inflation rate.
The risk occurs when you take a loan provided by a financial institution to finance your purchase of
units. Investing in a Fund using borrowed money is more risky than investing using your own money.
The inherent risk of investing with borrowed money includes the ability to service loan repayments and
the effect of increases in interest rates and your ability to provide additional collateral should the return
or the unit price of a Fund falls beyond certain level.
The Unit Trust Loan Financing Risk Disclosure Statement Form attached (please refer to page 144)
sets out the risks in detail.
5. Non-Compliance Risk
The operations and administration of the Funds by the Manager are governed by the Deed, all
applicable laws and regulations. Non-adherence may potentially affect the performance of Fund. The
risk could be minimised by imposing stringent internal controls and ensuring that compliance monitoring
are undertaken through regular audit and cross-departmental checking. The risk is mitigated further with
the presence of the Trustee who is appointed to oversee the functions of the management of the Funds.
6. Operational Risk
The risk of loss to you arising from inadequacies in, or failures of, our internal procedures and controls
for monitoring and quantifying the risks and contractual obligations associated with investments in a
Fund. Although the occurrence of such events is very unlikely, the Manager seeks to mitigate the risk
through the establishment of systematic operational procedures and stringent internal controls.
The performance of unit trust funds is subject to fluctuations in the capital market, which includes the
stock market and other securities market which may affect the value of investments positively or
negatively. The capital market is influenced by certain factors such as changes in the economic climate,
movement in interest rates, changes in the political and social environment and the performance of
overseas capital markets.
The risk is managed through constant monitoring of the asset allocation and to undertake prompt
response of any adverse condition to ensure minimum impact. The Funds also will be constructed in a
manner that the portfolio is well diversified across securities, asset classes and market sectors.
Specific risk or stock risk is the portion of risk which is unique to the issuer of the securities. Typically,
specific risk can be associated with management errors, shift in consumer taste, advertising campaigns,
lawsuits and competitive industry conditions. The risk is minimised through investing in wide range of
companies in different sectors and thus function independently from one another.
3. Credit/Default Risk
Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a fixed income security or bond may not be able to
make interest payments or repay the principal in a timely manner. This will translate to losses that will
reduce the value of a Fund.
The credit risk is managed by ensuring the Funds will only invest in fixed income instruments which are
considered safe and have good credit ratings.
Currency risk or foreign exchange risk is a risk associated investments that are in foreign currencies
denomination. When foreign currencies fluctuate in an unfavourable movement against the RM, the
investment may face currency loss in addition to the capital gains/losses. This may in turn affect the
performance of the Funds. The risks could be minimised by diversifying the investments across differing
currencies or by hedging the currencies when it is deemed necessary.
The fluctuations in the prices of securities held in the investment portfolio of a variable-price Fund may
cause the NAV or prices of units to be volatile as well. Therefore, the income produced by the Fund
particularly income from sale of investments may also fluctuate. This risk can be managed by the very
nature of the Fund that invest in a well diversified portfolio of securities across asset classes and market
sectors so that the volatility of the NAV could be minimised.
Please refer to the specific Fund for details of principal risks on investing in each Fund in Sections 3.1 to
3.10.

The MER indicates the costs that are incurred in the course of administering the Fund. It is calculated by taking the
fees and expenses paid out of a particular Fund as a percentage of the average NAV of that Fund determined on a
daily basis over the financial period. For fixed-price Funds, MER is computed based on average VOF. A lower MER
indicates the effectiveness of the Manager in managing the costs of the Fund. The MER of the Fund is then
calculated as follows:
Where:
1. Fees refer to all ongoing fees deducted/deductible directly from the Fund in respect of the period covered by the
management expense ratio, expressed as a fixed amount. This would include the annual management fee, the
annual trustee fee and any other fees deducted/deductible directly from the Fund.
2. Recovered expenses of the Fund refer to all expenses recovered from/charged to the Fund as a result of the
expenses incurred by the operation of the Fund expressed as a fixed amount. This should not include expenses

Note:
16. Reflected as a percentage of average NAV .
18. There are no figures for AS 1Malaysia as its first financial year will fall on September 30, 2010.
The MER incurred by the Funds for the last 3 financial years are as follows:
ASN 1.36 1.21 1.08 The significant increase between 2009 and 2008 is
due to under accrued of distribution expenses now
taken up in 2009.
The audited financial statements of the Funds are disclosed in the respective Funds’ annual report which is
available upon request. Past performance of the Funds is not an indication of future performance.
Charges directly incurred when you purchase or redeem units of the Funds are as follows:
AS 1Malaysia
Up to 1.0% of the invested amount. However, the Manager has the discretion either to waive or to reduce
the sales charge.
Variable-price Fund
5% of the invested amount. The sales charge is subject to change based on Manager’s discretion. The
rounding up of the NAV per unit will be up to four decimal places.
Please refer to Section 9.4 on page 77 for an illustration on the calculation of the sales charge.
Service Charge Service charge payable to EPF for investments made through EPF Members’ Investment Scheme is
Payable to EPF calculated monthly based on average closing market value of the individual application received under the
EPF Members’ Investment Scheme. The formula for monthly service charge is as follows:
(b/f Market Value + Market Value for the current month) x rate as imposed by EPF to UTMC*
2 x 1/12
* Currently the rate imposed by EPF to UTMC is 0.125% p.a. This rate is subject to change as may be
imposed by EPF.
Whereby,
Market Value = Accumulated Units as at end of the month multiplied with NAV at last
working day of the month.
Accumulated = The total unit balance of application received including distribution/bonus (if
Units any), as at end of each month.
The monthly service charge will then be summed up for the 12 months, before being deducted from the
distribution/ bonus received (if any) out of the investment made through EPF Members’ Investment
Scheme, at the end of the financial year of the respective Fund. In the event that any of these Funds is
unable to distribute its income, the service fee will be deducted from the investment of the affected
Unitholders.
Illustration:
Assumption : Based on ASN 2
i. Balance of accumulated units brought forward from March, 2010 is 30,000 units.
iv. The service charge for the month of April, 2010 is:
(RM32,391 (a) + RM32,715 (b)) x 1/12 x 0.125% = RM3.3909
2
In two (2) decimal places = RM3.39
vi. Hence, the annual service charge for the year would be the total of the monthly service charges (as
illustrated above).
The annual management fee is calculated and accrued daily and payable monthly to the Manager. The
Manager is entitled to the following annual management fee:
Illustration:
The Manager of ASN 2 is entitled to a fee of 1.0% per annum of the NAV of ASN 2, calculated and

The NAV of ASN 2 (before deducting annual management fees and annual trustee fees for the day)
RM250,000,000
= 1.0% x RM250,000,000

9. TRANSACTION INFORMATION
NAV per unit is determined based on historical pricing and calculated at the end of the preceding Business
Day.
We will revalue the Fund’s NAV as at the mid-day Valuation Point and re-price the units where the NAV of
the Fund differs by more than 5% from the NAV as at the last Valuation Point. The mid-day Valuation Point
is the time of the mid-day close of business of the Eligible Market.
Unitholders are advised to note that all transactions are subject to a rounding mechanism, whereby the total
investment amount or total proceeds/redemption is rounded upwards or downwards to the nearest multiple
of 5 sen effective April 1, 2008.
9.2 NAV FOR ASN, ASN 2, ASN 3, ASG-Pendidikan, ASG-Kesihatan AND ASG-Persaraan
The valuation of units is based on the NAV of the Fund. The NAV per unit of the Fund is calculated by
dividing the Fund’s NAV by the number of UIC, rounded to four decimal places. The NAV per unit forms the
basis for the computation of the Unit Price.
Illustration:
Computation of the NAV per unit at each valuation point is illustrated below:
RM
Quoted Investments 231,000,000
Liquid Assets 34,500,000
Other Assets 6,100,000
271,600,000
Less:Liabilities (16,500,000)
Net Asset Value 255,100,000
RM255,100,000
=
326,500,000 units
= RM0.781317
The price of ASN, ASN 2, ASN 3, ASG-Pendidikan, ASG-Kesihatan and ASG-Persaraan NAV per unit is
determined based on historical pricing and calculated at the end of the preceding Business Day.
The Manager will re-price the units if the NAV per unit of the Fund, if revalued, differs by more than
5% from the NAV per unit at the last valuation point.
If there is any incorrect calculation of the NAV per Unit, the Manager will take immediate remedial action to
rectify the error. The Manager’s remedial action will extend to the reimbursement of money to the
Unitholders if the error is at or above the threshold of 0.5% of the NAV per Unit unless the total impact on
the individual Unitholder’s account is RM10.00 or less in absolute amount.
(i) As the units of ASB, ASW 2020, ASM, ASD and AS 1Malaysia are transacted at a fixed price of RM1.00
a unit, it is not necessary to value the units on each Business Day.
For ASB, ASW 2020, ASM, ASD and AS 1Malaysia, the buying and selling price of unit is fixed at
RM1.00.
There are no charges imposed for buying and selling of units of ASB, ASW 2020, ASM and ASD. For
AS 1Malaysia the sales charge is up to 1.0% of the invested amount. However, the Manager has the
discretion either to waive or to reduce the sales charge.
9.4 SINGLE PRICING POLICY FOR ASN, ASN 2, ASN 3, ASG-Pendidikan, ASG-Kesihatan AND
ASG-Persaraan
The Manager adopts the single pricing policy in calculating your investment and repurchase of Units. “Single
pricing” which equates to sales and repurchases quoted and transacted on a single price (i.e NAV per unit),
is easier to understand and facilitate investors in comparing the different charges imposed and assist
investors in making an informed decision about their choice of investment products.
Under the single pricing policy, the selling price for units of a Fund is the NAV per unit. However you will be
imposed a sales charge for making an investment in the Fund. As the basis of calculation is historical
pricing, the price will be the NAV per unit, calculated at the end of the previous Business Day. Sales Charge
of 5% of the NAV per unit will be added as part of the purchase cost.
1. Making an investment
= RM10,000
RM0.5000
= 20,000 units
(c) Total amount payable by you = Investment amount + total sales charge
= RM10,000 + RM500.00
= RM10,500.00
The rounding up of the NAV per unit will be up to four decimal places. The total amount paid will be subjected to
the rounding mechanism.
Please note that the example above is for illustrative purposes only.

employees. The policy includes a requirement for all employees to submit a written declaration of their
interests in the securities of limited companies; prohibition of employees involved in share trading on the
stock market, from trading in the open market in their private capacity, except with approval from the
President and Group Chief Executive, or for the purpose of disposing shares in quoted limited
companies acquired through sources permitted by the company.
ii. Limits set when using brokers or/and financial institutions for dealings of the investments of the unit trust
funds.

segregated and carried out by different departments which are headed by separate persons.

ISO Manual of the PNB Group.
v. The setting up of the Compliance Committee of the PNB Group, a committee of the Board of Directors
of PNB, whose duties include reviewing compliance issues, including conflicts of interest situations.
vi. Holding regular meetings with the Trustee to discuss issues related to the management of the unit trust
fund, including conflicts of interest situations.
vii. The establishment of appropriate “Chinese Walls” to prevent conflict of interest situations.
In addition, as required by the Guidelines, we have appointed a Senior Compliance Officer whose duties
include monitoring and resolving conflicts of interest situations in relation to unit trust funds managed and
administered by us, and within the Management Company itself. To-date, we and the Investment Manager
are not aware of any conflict of interest situation which has arisen.
