Brief Information on Principal Islamic Lifetime Sukuk Fund
Principal Islamic Lifetime Sukuk Fund is a Sukuk fund issued by Principal Malaysia. The Fund aims to gain higher than average
income over the medium to long-term by investing in a diversified portfolio consisting principally of Sukuk, certificates of deposit,
short-term money market instruments and other permissible investments under the Shariah principles.
Product Suitability
The recommended investment timeframe for this Fund is three (3) years or more. This Fund is suitable for investors who:
have a medium-term to long-term investment horizon;
want a portfolio of investments that adhere to Shariah principles;
want a diversified portfolio of Islamic fixed income securities;
want to receive a regular income stream and maintain the value of their investment over medium-term to long-term; and/or
look for a less volatile investment but can accept that returns may fluctuate over the short-term.
Key Risks
Returns not The investment of the fund is subject to market fluctuations and its inherent risk. There is NO
guaranteed GUARANTEE on the investment returns, nor any assurance that the fund’s investment objective will
be achieved.
General market Market risk refers to the possibility that an investment will lose value because of a general decline in
environment risk financial markets, due to economic, political and/or other factors, which will result in a decline in the
fund’s NAV.
Inflation risk This is the risk that your investment in the unit trust fund may not grow or generate income at a rate
s
that keeps pace with inflation. This would reduce your purchasing power even though the value of
the investment in monetary terms has increased.
Financing risk This risk occurs when you obtain financing to finance your investment. The inherent risk of investing
with money obtained from financing includes you being unable to service the financing payments.
Manager’s risk This risk refers to the day-to-day management of the fund by the manager which will impact the
performance of the fund, e.g. investment decisions undertaken by the manager, as a result of an
incorrect view of the market may adversely affect the performance of the fund.
Reclassification of This risk refers to the risk that the currently held Shariah-compliant securities in the fund may be
Shariah status risk reclassified as Shariah non-compliant in the periodic review of the securities by the SAC of the SC,
the Shariah Adviser or the Shariah boards of the relevant Islamic indices or Shariah-compliant
securities. If this occurs, we will take the necessary steps to dispose such Shariah-compliant
securities. There may be opportunity loss to the fund due to the fund not being allowed to retain the
capital excess gains derived from the disposal of the Shariah non-compliant securities.
In the event that the Shariah non-compliant securities are disposed at a price lower than the
investment cost, it may adversely affect the value of the fund. Thus, it may cause the NAV of the
fund or price of units to fall
