In 2018, the Malaysian equity index FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBMKLCI) hit the peak of 1,895.18 pts pre-General Election 14 (GE-14) before scaling down to 1,663.86 pts post GE-14. A rebound in September 2018 has resulted in the index to hit above the 1,800 pts level before closing the year at 1,690.58 pts to record a full year loss of -5.91%. During the year, the Malaysian stock market was hindered by multiple challenges, domestically and globally. Locally, an unexpected government change following the GE-14 resulted in changes in the Government policies as well as the cancellation and downscaling of mega infrastructure projects. Externally, trade tensions between the United States (US) and its trading partners continue to simmer, with a risk of a full blown trade war between the US and China. Malaysia GDP growth has been slowing down with 9M18 GDP growth recorded at +4.7% (9M17: +5.9%); dragged by softer growth in goods and services exports, given the moderating global economic and trade growth amid the downside risk of further escalation in the trade war between the US and China. During the Budget 2019 tabled on 2 November 2018, the official 2018 real GDP growth forecast was lowered to +4.8% from a range of +5.5% to +6.0% previously. International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasted the global GDP growth of 2018 at 3.7% as the economy may have witnessed an increasing trend in some major economies. The downside risks to global growth have been on the rise following the trade disputes between the US and China whilst the potential for upside surprises declined. Most major economies continued to tighten their monetary policies on the back of the rising US and global interest rates as well as the closing stages of quantitative easing in major central banks. On the investment front we continued to adopt prudent and vigilant investment strategies in managing risks and returns resourcefully in advance of the ongoing uncertainties in the financial market. Despite the challenges, we are pleased to report that the myEquity Fund, myGrowth Fund, myDividend Fund and myBlueChips Fund have outperformed by +130 bps to +569 bps of their benchmarks, whilst the FTSE Bursa Malaysia EMAS Shariah Index (FBMS) recorded a negative return of -13.5%. By rank, the outperformance was led by the index tracking fund, myEquity fund surpassing its benchmark by +569 bps followed by myBlueChips Fund and myDividend Fund outperforming their benchmark returns by +438 bps and +279 bps respectively. You may find out more information about the funds, including the financial performance in the following pages. The market outlook for the year 2019 is expected to continue to be challenging on the back of the prevailing uncertainties and headwinds at the global as well as domestic levels. Hence, the equity market is also anticipated to remain volatile. Investors would be focusing on the implementation of the structural reforms which is expected to weaken consumer sentiment and dampen profit margins of certain sectors. The positives, including Petronas spending will remain intact, in addition to the continuity of some key infrastructure projects and recovery of exporters on a stronger global economy. We are of the view that the market downside is fairly limited, given the strong domestic liquidity, lower political risk and fiscal concerns being addressed. Any upward movement of interest rate would be positive for new investments in sukuk and deposit instruments. However, there would be limited trading opportunities to realize gains from existing holdings as the increase in interest rate would result in the drop of market value. While 2019 poses new challenges, the coming year also holds various opportunities for our team to strive for sound returns to the participants. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your unwavering support and look forward to charting another great year of success.
