LIPPER LEADERS RATING (OVERALL) Total Return Consistent Return Preservation 1 2 4 Lipper Leaders Key Lowest Highest 1 5 The Lipper Leaders Ratings System is a set of tools that guide investors and their advisors to select funds that suit individual investment styles and goals. It uses investors-centred criteria to deliver a simple, clear description of a fund's success in meeting certain goals, such as preserving capital or building wealth through consistent strong returns. Eastspring Investments Berhad (531241-U) Level 12, Menara Prudential, 10, Jalan Sultan Ismail, 50250 Kuala Lumpur. Tel: 603 - 2332 1000 Fax: 603 - 2052 3366 E-mail: cs.my@eastspring.com Lipper Leader ratings are derived from highly sophisticated formulas that analyse funds against clearly defined criteria. Each fund is ranked against its peers based on the metric used ( such as Total Return or Expense), and then the top 20% of funds in that ranking receive the Lipper Leader designation. Lipper Leaders measures are not predictive of future performance, but they do provide context and perspective for making knowledgeable fund investment decisions.
  2. DANA WAFI APRIL 2018 ALL DATA AS AT 31 MARCH 2018 UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED FUND MANAGER ’S COMMENTARY In the March meeting, the US Federal Reserve (“Fed”) raised its key interest rates by 25bps to between 1.50%-1.75% for the first time this year as widely expected. However, the Fed appeared to be slightly hawkish as the Fed continues to remain positive on future growth while raising the Fed Fund Rates projections for 2019 and 2020. On the domestic front, Bank Negara Malaysia (“BNM”) has projected Malaysia's 2018 headline inflation to average between 2-3%. Core inflation is expected to remain moderate in 2018, due to smaller cost pass-through to retail prices compared to the previous year. Overall, Bank Negara believes that inflationary pressures from domestic demand factors will be contained in 2018 due to improving labour market conditions. There will be three Government bond auctions in April with total estimated issuance of circa RM 10bil with no MGS/GII maturities during the month. As such, Malaysia’s sovereign bond market is expected to be well supported from onshore real money investors . MYR corporate bond market is expected to see continuous decent supply in the pipeline in the coming months and we expect demand for corporate bonds to remain well supported. .

IMPORTANT INFORMATION Based on the Fund’s portfolio returns as at 28 February 2018, the Volatility Factor (VF) for this Fund is 1.2 and is classified as “Very Low” (Source: Lipper). “Very Low” generally includes funds with VF that are higher than 0.000 but not more than 1.785.

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 will be revised every six (6) months.
