A Note From PRU

The PRUglobal leaders posted a negative return of 41.10% behind the 31.25% loss from the benchmark

for the financial period ended 31 December 2008. This relative underperformance occurred in what has

been an exceptional time in the history of global stock markets.

The Fund feeds into the M&G Global Leaders Fund, which employs a bottom up investment process to

identify undervalued companies implementing self help strategies to improve their returns bias – in short,

it looks for cheap companies with plans for improvement. This process of internal change, usually involving

management and corporate restructuring, creates a degree of uncertainty around the short-term operating

performance of a company. This in turn often gives rise to a market mis-pricing that the fund seeks to

exploit for long term gain. However, in a market terrified of any sort of uncertainty, this approach faced

an intense headwind in the latter part of 2008.

Despite the obvious doom and gloom, as investors, we need to look forward. We believe that there are

opportunities hidden in any market condition. Ironically, the real opportunities, would lie where investors

most fear to tread – equities. Whilst the losses can be severe during periods of stress like what we are

witnessing presently, stocks would provide opportunity for greater capital appreciation during periods of

economic growth and especially during periods of recovery. Right now with stock prices having come off

significantly, a lot of bad news has already been priced in and values are definitely emerging. If there’s any

time that investors should put their faith in stocks, it would be periods like now.

Having said all this, there are investment strategies that you, as an individual investor, can employ to

weather through these turbulent times. First, is to re-evaluate the risk and return of your portfolio. Do

the funds that you hold still meet your overall financial objectives? You should also consider diversifying

your portfolio – build a balanced asset allocation, and instead of timing the market, dollar cost average.

Although these principles seem all too worn out and clichéd, it still holds true. You can’t hold a portfolio

that’s all equities because the risk of losses is high and you can’t hold a portfolio that’s all fixed income

because it won’t give you the growth that you need to hedge against inflation – especially if your objective

is to invest for your retirement. The challenge is to find a ratio that suites your risk tolerance. And, because

one can’t really time the market and predict when the market would bottom out, dollar cost averaging

is the logical solution.

PRUglobal leaders fundInterim Report

Nota daripada PRU

Para pelabur yang dihargai,

Dana PRUglobal leaders mencatatkan pulangan negatif sebanyak 41.10%, iaitu lebih rendah berbanding pulangan negatif penanda aras 31.25% bagi tahun kewangan berakhir 31 Disember 2008. Prestasi yang lebih rendah ini terjadi pada masa luar biasa dalam sejarah pasaran saham global.

Dana ini merupakan dana perantara kepada Dana M&G Global Leaders yang menggunakan proses pelaburan dari bawah ke atas bagi mengenal pasti syarikat di bawah nilai yang melaksanakan strategi bantu diri untuk memperbaiki pengaruh pulangan mereka – pendek kata, Dana ini mencari syarikat murah yang mempunyai pelan untuk kemajuan. Proses perubahan dalaman ini, yang biasanya melibatkan penstrukturan semula pengurusan dan korporat , mewujudkan ketidakpastian dalam prestasi kendalian jangka pendek sesebuah syarikat. Ini selalunya menimbulkan salah harga dalam pasaran yang dicari oleh Dana ini untuk dieksploitasi bagi keuntungan jangka masa panjang. Walau bagaimanapun, dalam pasaran yang gerunkan ketidakpastian dalam apa-apa bentuk sekalipun, pendekatan ini menghadapi rintangan hebat dalam bulan-bulan terakhir tahun 2008.

Walau pun keadaan amat sukar dan suram, sebagai pelabur, kita seharusnya memandang ke hadapan. Kami percaya peluang tetap wujud dalam mana-mana keadaan pasaran. Ironiknya, peluang sebenar terkandung dalam ekuiti, yang sangat takut didekati oleh para pelabur. Sungguhpun kerugian boleh menjadi teruk semasa tempoh tertekan seperti yang sedang kita alami, saham mampu memberi peluang tambah nilai modal yang lebih tinggi semasa tempoh pertumbuhan ekonomi dan khususnya semasa tempoh pemulihan. Pada masa ini dengan harga saham yang jatuh mendadak, banyak berita buruk telah diambil kira dan nilai sememangnya kian muncul. Inilah masanya para pelabur patut meletakkan kepercayaan mereka dalam saham.

Dengan tersusunnya kata-kata tersebut, anda sebagai pelabur individu, boleh mengguna pakai strategi pelaburan yang ada untuk menempuhi masa yang bergelora ini. Pertama, menilai semula risiko dan pulangan portfolio anda. Adakah dana-dana dalam pegangan memenuhi objektif kewangan keseluruhan anda? Anda juga harus mempertimbangkan kepelbagaian portfolio anda – membentuk peruntukan aset yang seimbang, dan pemurataan kos ringgit adalah lebih baik daripada menentukan masa yang bersesuaian untuk melabur dalam pasaran. Walaupun prinsip-prinsip ini kelihatan terlalu lusuh dan basi, namun ia tetap berguna. Anda tidak boleh memegang satu portfolio yang kesemuanya ekuiti kerana risiko kerugian adalah tinggi dan anda tidak boleh memegang satu portfolio yang kesemuanya pendapatan tetap kerana ia tidak akan memberikan anda pertumbuhan yang anda perlu untuk melindungi nilai terhadap inflasi – khususnya objektif anda adalah melabur untuk persaraan. Cabaran di sini ialah untuk mencari satu nisbah yang sesuai untuk toleransi risiko anda. Dan, disebabkan kesukaran menentukan masa yang tepat untuk melabur dalam pasaran dan menjangka bila pasaran akan memantul dari paras terendah, pemurataan kos ringgit adalah penyelesaian yang munasabah.

保诚之声

亲爱的投资者,

在截至2008年12月31日的财政期间,保诚全球领导基金报以41.10%的负回酬,表现低于报

31.25%负回酬的基准。低於基准的表现乃因为全球股市陷入史无前例的困境。

本基金联接至M&G全球领导基金,后者采用了自下而上的投资方式以确认运用内部策略改善

回酬偏差的价值低估公司,意即它所寻找的是备有改善计划但估值廉宜的公司。这种内部改革

一般上涉及管理层与公司的重组,在某程度上会对公司的短期营运表现造成影响,从而导致市

场错价的现象;本基金将会投资于这类公司,并在长期内赚利。无论如何,在充斥着不明朗因

素的市场内,有关策略在2008年杪受到严重的冲击。

尽管环境阴霾密布,身为投资者,我们必须向前看。我们相信无论市况如何,其间都会藏有良

机。讽刺的是,真正的良机却在于投资者目前最不想涉足的股票市场。眼前股市的损失无疑惨

重,但在经济复苏及成长的阶段,股票将得以提供更大的资本增值机会。现在的股价大幅滑

跌,而且许多负面因素的影响也已计算在内,其价值因之相当具吸引力。现在是投资者应该对

股票有信心的时刻。

即使如此,身为散户投资者的你,其实可以采用一些投资策略以度过这些艰辛的时段。你必须

先重新评估你投资组合中的风险与回酬。你所持有的基金是否依旧达致你的整体财务目标?你

也应该考虑分散投资 – 作出平衡的资产分配,而且与其臆测市场的时机,不如采用平均成本

法定期定额的投资。也许这些原则看来全过时了,但其内含的真理不变。你不可以将资金全投

资于股票,因为损失的风险很大;你也不可以全投资于固定收益证券,因为其收入成长将无法

在通膨时代产生保值的作用,如果你的投资目标是为退休作准备则这将是个问题。你的挑战是

寻求一个符合你的风险承受度的投资比例。此外,由于我们难以臆测市场的时机,而且也难以

预料市场何时达致谷底,平均成本法乃是最合逻辑的解决方案。

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE 6-MONTH FINANCIAL PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2008

The following accounting policies have

been used in dealing with items which are

statements.

A BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE

The financial statements of the Fund

have been prepared under the historical

cost convention in accordance with the

Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”), the

Malaysian Accounting Standards Board

(“MASB”) Approved Accounting Standards

in Malaysia for Entities Other than Private

Entities and the SC Guidelines on Unit Trust

Funds.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 31 Customer Service :

03-2332 1000

PRUglobal leaders fund Interim Report

B INCOME RECOGNITION

Interest income from short term deposits

is recognised on the accrual basis.

Dividend income from the Underlying Fund

is recognised on the ex-dividend date.

Realised gains and losses on sales of

listed investments are accounted for as

the difference between the net disposal

proceeds and the carrying amount of

investments, determined on a weighted

average cost basis for equities.

C FINANCE COST

Proposed distributions to unitholders

are recognised in the income statement

upon approval by the Board of Directors

of the Manager. The distribution to the

unitholders is recognised as finance cost

in the income statement.

D TAXATION

Current tax expense is determined

according to the Malaysian tax laws of the

jurisdiction in which the Fund operates and

includes all taxes based upon the taxable

profits. Dividend income from foreign

quoted investments is based on the tax

regime of the respective countries that the

Fund invested in.

E PRESENTATION AND FUNCTIONAL CURRENCY

The financial statements are presented

in Ringgit Malaysia, which is the Fund’s

presentation and functional currency.

F INVESTMENTS

Investments are initially recorded at cost,

which include transaction costs, and

subsequently revalued to their fair values

as at the date of the statement of assets

and liabilities.

Valuation of the Underlying Fund shall be

based at the most recent price if a single

price for buying and selling units is quoted.

If separate buying and selling prices are

quoted, valuation shall be at the average

of the two prices provided the buying price

has been reduced by any initial charge

included therein and the selling prices

excludes any exit or redemption charge

attributable thereto. If in the opinion of

the fund manager of M&G Global Leaders

Fund, the price obtained is unreliable or

no recent traded price is available or no

recent price exists, valuation shall be at a

value which, in the opinion of the said fund

manager, is fair and reasonable.

Unrealised gains or losses are transferred

to the fair value reserve included in the net

assets attributable to unitholders and are

not distributable.

Customer Service :

03-2332 100032 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

G FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

Foreign currency transactions in the Fund

are translated into the functional currency

using the exchange rates prevailing at the

transaction dates. Foreign exchange gains

and losses resulting from the settlement of

such transactions and from the translation

at year-end exchange rates of monetary

assets and liabilities denominated in foreign

currencies are recognised in the income

statement.

The principal closing rates used in the

translation of foreign currencies were as

follows:

Foreign currency 2008 2007

RM RM

1 EURO Dollar 4.8214 4.8207

H CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For the purpose of the cash flow statement,

cash and cash equivalents comprise cash

and bank balances and deposits that are

readily convertible to known amounts

of cash and which are subject to an

insignificant risk of changes in value.

I CREATION AND CANCELLATION OF UNITS

The Fund issues cancellable units, which

are cancelled at the unitholder’s option

and are classified as financial liability.

Cancellable units can be put back to

the Fund at any time for cash equal to a

proportionate share of the Fund’s net asset

value. The outstanding units is carried at

the redemption amount that is payable

at the balance sheet date if the holder

exercises the right to put the unit back to

the Fund.

Units are created and cancelled at the

holder’s option at prices based on the

Fund’s net asset value per unit at the time

of creation or cancellation. The Fund’s net

asset value is calculated by dividing the

net assets attributable to unitholders with

the total number of outstanding units.

In accordance with the SC Guidelines on

Unit Trust Funds, investment positions are

valued based on the last traded market

price for the purpose of determining the

net asset value per unit for creations and

cancellations.

J PROCEEDS AND PAYMENTS ON CREATION AND CANCELLATION OF UNITS

The net asset value per unit is computed

for each dealing day. The price at which

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 33 Customer Service :

03-2332 1000

PRUglobal leaders fund Interim Report

units are created or cancelled is calculated

by reference to the net asset value per unit

as at the close of business on the relevant

dealing day. Units in the Fund are classified

as financial liability in the statement of net

assets and liabilities and are stated at fair

value representating the price at which

unitholders can redeem the units from the

Fund.

K AMOUNT DUE FROM/(TO) STOCKBROKERS

Amount due from/(to) stockbrokers is

carried at approved transaction amount

as stated in the contract notes.

L SEGMENTAL INFORMATION

A business segment is a group of assets and

operations engaged in providing products

or services that are subject to risks and

returns that are different from those of

other business segments. A geographical

segment is engaged in providing products

or services within a particular economic

environment that are subject to risks and

returns that are different from those of

segments operating in other economic

environments. In the opinion of the

Manager, all activities of the Fund are

in the single business of investment

activities conducted mainly in England

and Wales. Consequently, no segmental

reporting is provided in the Fund’s financial

statements.

M FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments comprise financial

assets and financial liabilities. Fair value is

the amount at which a financial asset could

be exchanged or a financial liability settled,

between knowledgeable and willing

parties in an arm’s length transaction. The

information presented herein represents

the estimates of fair values as at the

statement of assets and liabilities date.

Where available, quoted and observable

market prices are used as the measure

of fair values. Where such quoted and

observable market prices are not available,

fair values are estimated based on a

range of methodologies and assumptions

regarding risk characteristics of various

financial instruments, discount rates,

estimates of future cash flows and other

factors. Changes in the uncertainties and

assumptions could materially affect these

estimates and the resulting fair value

estimates.

A range of methodologies and assumptions

had been used in deriving the fair values of

the Fund’s financial instruments as at the

statement of assets and liabilities date. The

total fair value of each financial instrument

is not materially different from the total

carrying value.

Customer Service :

03-2332 100034 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The fair values are based on the following

methodologies and assumptions:

(a) Short term deposits

For deposits and placements with financial

institutions with maturities of less than three

months, the carrying value is a reasonable

estimate of fair value. For deposits and

placements with maturities three months

and above, estimated fair value is based

on discounted cash flows using prevailing

money market interest rates at which

similar deposits and placements would

be made with financial institutions of

similar credit risk and remaining period to

maturity.

(b) Collective investment scheme

The valuation of each unit or share in

any collective investment scheme will be

based on the last published NAV per unit

or share of such collective investment

scheme or, if unavailable, on the average

of the last published buying price and the

last published selling price of such unit or

share (excluding any sales charge included

in such selling price).

(c) Other short term financial instruments

Other short term financial instruments

comprise interest receivable, dividends

receivable, receivables, payables and

accruals.

The carrying value of these assets and

liabilities are assumed to approximate their

fair value due to short tenure of less than

one year.

N CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of financial statements in

conformity with the Financial Reporting

Standards and the SC Guidelines on

Unit Trust Funds requires the use of

estimates and assumptions that affect the

reported amounts of assets and liabilities

at the date of the financial statements

and the reported amounts of revenues

and expenses during the financial year.

Although these estimates are based on

the Manager’s best knowledge of current

events and actions, actual results could

differ from those estimates.

Estimates and judgments are continually

evaluated by the Manager and the Trustee

and are based on historical experience

and other factors, including expectations

of future events that are believed to be

reasonable under the circumstances.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE 6-MONTH FINANCIAL PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2008

1 INFORMATION ON THE FUND

Prudential Global Leaders Fund (“the

Fund”) was constituted pursuant to the

execution of a Master Deed (“the Deed”)

dated 6 March 2006 between HSBC

(Malaysia) Trustees Bhd (“the Trustee”)

and Prudential Fund Management Berhad

(formerly known as Prudential Unit Trusts

Berhad) (“the Manager”).

The Fund commenced operations on

23 March 2006 and will continue its

operations until terminated by the Trustee

as provided under Part 12 of the Deed.

The main objective of the Fund is to seek

to maximise long term total return (the

combination of income and growth of

capital) by investing in the M&G Global

Leaders Fund, which in turn invests in

a wide range of global equities that are

considered to be leading in their field.

All investments will be subject to the SC

Guidelines, the SC requirements, the Deed,

except where exemptions or variations

have been approved by the SC, internal

policies and procedures and the Fund’s

objective.

The Manager is a company incorporated

in Malaysia and is related to Prudential

Plc., a public listed company in the

United Kingdom. The principal activity

of the Manager is the establishment,

management and distribution of unit trust

funds.

2 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Fund is exposed to a variety of risks

which include market risk, stock/issuer risk,

liquidity risk, interest rate risk and credit/

default risk.

Financial risk management is carried out

through internal control processes adopted

by the Manager and adherence to the

investment restrictions as stipulated by the

SC Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds.

Market risk

This risk refers to changes and developments

in regulations, politics and the economy of

the country. The very nature of a unit trust

fund, however, helps mitigate this risk. The

Underlying Fund that is the M&G Global

Leaders Fund would generally hold a well-

diversified portfolio of securities from

different market sectors that the collapse of

Customer Service :

03-2332 100036 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any one security or any one market sector

would not impact too greatly on the value

of the M&G Global Leaders Fund.

Single security risk

The fund essentially invests in a single

security, which is the M&G Global Leaders.

The feeder fund mitigates single securities

risk by investing in a diversified portfolio of

equities.

This risk is associated with a feeder fund

that essentially invests in a single security,

which is the M&G Global Leaders Fund in

this case. The M&G Global Leaders Fund,

by investing in a diversified portfolio of

equities helps to mitigate this single

security risk.

Foreign exchange/currency risk

As the Underlying Fund, M&G Global

Leaders Fund may invest its assets in

securities denominated in a wide range

of currencies other than Ringgit Malaysia,

the NAV of the M&G Global Leaders

Fund expressed in Euro may be affected

favourably or unfavourably by exchange

control regulations or changes in the

exchange rates between Euro and such

other currencies. This risk is minimized

through investing in a wide range of

foreign currencies denominated assets and

thus, diversifying the risk of single currency

exposure. It also minimizes the foreign

exchange/currency risk between Ringgit

Malaysia (the Fund) and Euro (the M&G

Global Leaders Fund).

In the normal course of investment, the

M&G Global Leaders Fund will usually

not hedge foreign currency exposure.

The M&G Global Leaders Fund may

however depending on prevailing market

circumstances at a particular point in time,

choose to use forward or option contracts

for hedging and risk reduction purposes.

Similarly, the Fund shall not hedge foreign

currency exposure.

Country risk

The NAV of the M&G Global Leaders Fund

may be affected by uncertainties such as

currency fluctuations, international political

developments, restrictions on foreign

investment and currency repatriation,

changes in governmental policies, changes

in taxation and other developments in

in which investment may be made. In

addition, the reduced availability of public

information, the legal infrastructure and

the lack of uniform accounting, auditing

and financial reporting standards or other

regulatory practices and requirements may

reduce the degree of investor protection

afforded. Some of the securities may

also be subjected to government taxes

or incur higher custodian expenses which

may reduce the yield on such securities.

Investing into various markets will however

mitigate the country risk of the portfolio.

Liquidity risk

The Fund maintains sufficient level of

liquid assets, after consultation with the

Trustee, to meet anticipated payments and

cancellations of units by unitholders. Liquid

assets comprise cash, deposits with licensed

financial institutions and other instruments

which are capable of being converted into

cash within 7 days. The Fund has a policy

of maintaining a minimum level of one

percent (1%) of liquid assets to reduce the

liquidity risk.

Interest Rate Risk

The Fund is exposed to interest rate

risk. To the extent the Fund invests in

the Underlying Fund, it is exposed to

the risk of interest rate changes. If the

markets’ interest change, the price of

these securities may be deeply affected

and this applies to a greater degree if the

Underlying Fund holds securities with high

correlation to the interest rates. Changes

in interest rates will affect the value of the

investments and its returns. To manage

the risk, investments will be concentrated

in investment grade issues by financial

institutions and companies determined by

the Manager.

Interest rate risk is a general economic

indicator that will have an impact on the

management of the fund. The reason for

this is because a high level of interest rates

will inevitably affect corporate profits and

this will have an impact on the value of

investments.

As at the date of the statement of assets

and liabilities, the net asset value of the

Fund can be analysed into interest and

non-interest bearing balances, as follows:
