(b) we may, in our discretion, choose the Asset Allocation as we may deem fit, and/or switch from one investment portfolio to another, at any time and from time to time, without requiring any prior approvals and/or authorization from you to do so.

(c) we may enter into any kind of transactions and/or arrangements for you and/or to invest in any types of investments and/or other assets and, without limitation, to close out transactions and deal with your Assets including selling such Assets or settling a sale order on your behalf.

(d) you authorise us with discretionary powers to withdraw and/or invest monies in your Account, as your agent and at your sole risk and account, in the Investments;

(e) you understand, acknowledge and accept fully the risks of giving us the discretion to manage your Assets and Investments on your behalf;

(f) we are entitled to manage your Assets in your Account accordingly, and we may transact on any market, exchange, and execute counterparty and account opening documentation on your behalf, and take all routine or day-to-day decisions, and otherwise act as we may consider appropriate in our sole and absolute discretion;

(l) we may pool your Transactions to be executed with Transactions executed on behalf of our other clients and proprietary accounts for the purpose of achieving economical transaction costs. Therefore, the precise proportion of your Assets allocated to each type of Investment may vary from any Asset Allocation representations we make to you regarding such Investments.

6. YOUR INVESTMENT MONEY

6.1 You will deposit your monies directly into a client trust account as specified by us. We shall only accept monies from you which are received from bank accounts belonging to you. If we are not satisfied that the monies deposited by you came from bank accounts belonging to you, we shall have the right to reject such monies, subject to Applicable Laws. This client trust account will be held on our behalf by the Custodian which in turn will hold a bank deposit account with a bank licensed under the FSA and/or such other financial institutions permitted under the relevant regulations.

6.2 We may hold monies received from your account in an omnibus client trust account together with monies that we hold for other clients in an omnibus trust account, which is an account for all our clients’ monies. There are risks involved in such an arrangement, and your monies may not be subject to the same protection as that conferred on monies held on a segregated basis.

6.3 Your trust account will be maintained with a Malaysian licensed trustee/custodian, which in turn will hold a bank deposit account with licensed bank in Malaysia. If you make investments into certain portfolios, we may also hold your money together with the monies of our other clients in an omnibus trust account we hold for other clients. This means that such monies in the trust account will be co-mingled with the monies of our other clients. In view of the constant fluctuation of the aggregate balance, it is not possible to account separately the risk based on each client’s interest (if any) due on the cash balances in the omnibus client account as it is done on an aggregated basis.

6.4 In the event of insolvency of us, trustee/custodian or other financial institution holding the omnibus client trust account, you understand that you may not be able to fully recover your monies. Further, as your monies are co-mingled with those of other clients in the same account, you may potentially be exposed to the losses of other clients. Consequently, you may not be subject to the same protection as compared to your monies being held on a segregated basis.

6.5 We may set minimum thresholds, from time to time, for money transfers to and from your Account, and which may vary depending on the currency in which the money transfer is being made and/or requested.

6.6 We are entitled, through our trustee, to convert any sum received to the currency of your Account or the currency in which payment is to be made at a rate of exchange determined at the relevant time.

6.7 Exchange rate losses and the costs of conversion shall be borne by you.

6.8 Any fees, charges, expenses or other form of costs including but not limited to foreign currency related costs and bank remittance related charges, and you hereby acknowledge and accept that any such costs incurred by you will be borne by you without recourse to us.

6.9 Where there are fees, charges, expenses or other form of costs incurred, whether at our discretion or on your Instruction, you acknowledge and accept that such costs incurred by us in whatever form may be payable directly by you, charged to your Account, debited from your Assets or paid through the sale of Investments.

6.10 We shall only accept and/or remit monies received from/to bank accounts belonging to you and you only in single name.

6.11 For the avoidance of doubt, even with clear proof that a bank account designated by you does indeed belong to you, we are not obliged to accept, receive or remit monies, whether at our discretion or on your Instruction, if your designated bank does not meet our internal criteria to be on our list of approved banks.

6.12 You acknowledge and agree that money transfers particularly withdrawals from investments is not immediate and will take time, subject to the exigencies of normal business practice. Until money transfers are documented and evidenced, we are not liable for any action or the lack thereof in relation to our Services.

7. BROKERAGE AND CUSTODY

7.1 You accept and agree that Investments pursuant to your Asset Allocation may be invested, purchased and/or sold through or by any of our nominee, agents, or brokers (including internal parties or divisions within KIBB) (collectively, “Third Parties”) held through our appointed Custodian and consent to the appointment of such Third Parties.

7.2 You accept and agree that we will have full discretion as to the use of such Third Parties to execute your Transactions. We will use Third Parties selected in good faith.

7.3 For the avoidance of doubt, we may purchase or sell the same Investments for several clients at approximately the same time, or we may combine or “batch” such Transactions to obtain best execution, to negotiate more favourable Transaction costs or to allocate equitably among some or all our client accounts. We may execute the purchase and sale of similar Investments across different clients, in whole or in part, without using a broker and thereby, reduce execution costs. Accordingly, Transactions may be bulked and settled based on fair and reasonable calculated or reference price(s) of the specific Investments and may be allocated among multiple client accounts in proportion to the purchase and sale orders placed for each client account on any given day.

7.4 You agree we shall have no liability or responsibility for any act, omission, insolvency, negligence, failure or default of the Third Parties. The Third Parties may also appoint further custodians, sub-custodians, trustees, registrars, administrators, nominees and/or agents as may be necessary or expedient to provide the relevant services or Investments to us. You agree that we shall have no liability or responsibility in relation to any actions taken by such persons or these further appointments by our Intermediaries which are beyond our reasonable control. You agree to indemnify us against any and all actions which we deem in good faith necessary to ensure that we will not be in default of our obligations or responsibilities under this Agreement. Our foregoing right shall apply even though as between you and us, you may be in actual or anticipatory default. The foregoing indemnity in our favour is in addition to any other right that we may have whether expressly provided as between us or implied by law.

7.5 As we may have accepted principal responsibility and/or liability to Third Parties, you acknowledge and agree that there is a risk that such Third Parties may regard any Investments which we purchase and/or our custodian purchase on your behalf, as investments for ourselves, with possible instances of prejudice to you such as the risk that the Third Parties may use your Investments to satisfy our obligations or obligations of our other clients. You hereby accept and agree that this is a necessary risk of using our Services.

7.6 You acknowledge and hereby agree that:

(a) the Investments will be purchased for you in an omnibus account in-house or with another broker/custodian/ nominee/ exchange/ clearing house aggregated with other Investments of our other clients. This means that your Investments will be co-mingled with the assets of our other clients and/or yours of the custodian. Given such co-mingling, the Investments may be registered collectively in our name or the name of the Custodian and your entitlements may not be identifiable as separate certificates, titles or electronic records. You agree that if there are any dividends, interests, rights, benefits or other proceeds in relation to your Investments resulting from such co-mingling, we shall have full discretion as to the allotment of such dividends, interests, rights, benefits or other proceeds;

(b) In the event of insolvency or default of the Custodian, you understand that you may not be able to fully recover your Assets and Investments held in the omnibus trust account. Any shortfall in the Investments may be shared among you and our other clients and/or your local custodian pro rata. As your Investments are co-mingled with those of other clients in the same account, you may potentially be exposed to the losses of other clients;

(c) if we or through our Custodian have engaged any such broker/ custodian/ nominee/ exchange/ clearing house in good faith, we shall not be liable to you for any and all losses suffered or incurred by you as a result of any act, omission or insolvency of any such broker/ custodian/ nominee/ exchange/ clearing house;

(d) where Investments are denominated in a foreign currency, the Investments may be held with any entity engaged by us which is licensed, registered or authorised to act as a custodian in the country or territory where the Assets are held, and the omnibus account is maintained;

(e) your Investments may be treated as fungible with other Investments in the omnibus account and therefore, we are not obliged to deliver any specific Investments to you and may instead sell the Investments at your expense and transfer any proceeds to credit balance in your account.

(f) your Assets may be held by third-party custodians engaged by us at our full discretion, and in such cases, you are deemed to have fully authorized us to give Instructions to such third-party custodians with respect to all Transactions pursuant to the Services we provide you.

(g) where you close your Account before the receipt by us of proceeds arising from dividends and/or other corporate actions from any Investment(s) accruing to your Account, such a receipt may be remitted to you provided it is a gross amount of above a pre-determined amount or more.

(h) where Investments are denominated in a foreign currency, the Investments may be held in an omnibus trust account with an entity which is licensed, registered or authorised to act as a custodian in the country or territory where such Investments are held and the for certain portfolios where the Investments are units of collective investment schemes purchased through a scheme manager, we will ensure that the relevant scheme manager is licensed to conduct fund management activities in Malaysia. The scheme manager may also appoint appropriately licensed custodians, trustees, registrars and administrators in respect of collective investment scheme. The custodial arrangements in respect of these Investments will be subject to the terms and conditions as agreed between the scheme manager and the relevant Custodian; and

(i) an omnibus trust account is maintained. In such case, you understand that the laws and practices relating to trust accounts in the relevant jurisdiction may differ from the laws and practices in Malaysia. Such differences mean that your Investments may not enjoy the same level of protection as accorded to Investments that are held in Malaysia. Depending on the jurisdiction, this may affect your ability to recover the Investments deposited in your trust account.

8. RISKS

8.1 We do not guarantee the future performance of your Assets/Investments. You agree that Transactions made pursuant to our recommended Asset Allocation for and on your behalf involve substantial risks arising from and related to among others, market, currency, economic, political and business risks, and that those Transactions will not always be profitable.

8.2 There is no guarantee that Asset Allocation pursuant to the Services we provide you will necessarily produce the intended results. The price of any security or the value of an entire asset class can decline for a variety of reasons outside of our control. High volatility and/or the lack of deep and active liquid markets may prevent selling Investments at all, or at an advantageous time or price because of difficulty in finding a buyer and may be forced to sell at a significant discount to market value.

(c) Payments or receipts related to your Transactions will be exposed to price, foreign currency exchange, interest rate or other volatility in that market or markets as well as finance charges, among others, where your Investments are domiciled or listed, resulting in potential losses which may be substantial if market conditions are adverse; and

(d) Fluctuations in foreign currency rates will impact the value of your Investments resulting in either profit or loss if the related Transactions are denominated or settled in a different currency from the currency where you carry on your ordinary business or keep your financial accounts.

8.4 You are solely responsible to fully understand that the use of our Services exposes your Assets to vagaries of volatile markets, and there is no certainty as to the extent of profit/loss you would be exposed to thereof, including the extent of loss should we have to liquidate your Investments pursuant to our discretionary Asset Allocation decisions for and on your behalf. If your Investments are liquidated at a loss, you hereby acknowledge and accept that you will be liable to us for any resulting deficit in your Assets held in your Account.

8.5 Any advice provided by us to you will be based on information from sources believed to be accurate, and that no representation or warranty, express or implied, is made by us as to the accuracy, completeness or suitability of such advice.

8.9 You accept that you have the requisite risk appetite to assume all economic consequences and risks of the Investments and are solely responsible for any necessary consultation with your own tax, legal and other advisers.

8.10 You acknowledge that we may have an interest in the subject of any investment report or recommendation or may be a counterparty to any Investments entered by you and/or may otherwise benefit from your Investments.

8.11 You acknowledge that our Asset Allocation recommendations may rely on computer models, data inputs and assumptions in generating trade orders or recommendations (as applicable). Statistical models, such as those used by us, rely on back-tested information, and, thus, may not operate as expected or intended when events having few or no historical antecedents occur, and, accordingly, may generate losses another manager could have been able to avoid. In addition, any disruption to our Asset Allocation algorithms may result in disruptions to your Investments and Assets.

8.12 We, including our affiliates and other service providers for which our Services may rely on in one form or other, are subject to risks associated with a breach in cybersecurity. Such a breach may result in damage and disruption of hardware and software systems, loss or corruption of data, and/or misappropriation of among others, confidential information. You may incur substantial losses and/or costs as the result of a cybersecurity breach, including those associated with forensic analysis of the origin and scope of the breach, increased and upgraded cybersecurity, identity theft, unauthorized use of proprietary information, litigation, and the dissemination of confidential and proprietary information. Any such breach could expose us to civil liability as well as regulatory inquiry and/or action. In addition, you could be exposed to additional losses as a result of unauthorized use of your personal information.

8.13 While we have established business continuity plans, incident response plans and systems designed to mitigate cybersecurity risks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems, including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Similar types of cybersecurity risks also are present for issuers of securities in which we invest, which could result in material adverse consequences for such issuers and may cause losses in Investments and Assets.

8.14 The foregoing list of risks does not purport to be a complete enumeration or explanation of the risks involved in using our Services. As investment strategies develop and change over time, you may be subject to additional and different risk factors. No assurance can be made that profits will be achieved or that substantial losses will not be incurred.

An overseas-listed investment product* is subject to the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction it is listed in. Before you trade in an overseas-listed investment product or authorise someone else to trade for you, you should be aware of:

● The level of investor protection and safeguards that you are afforded in the relevant foreign jurisdiction as the overseas-listed investment product would operate under a different regulatory regime.

● The differences between the legal systems in the foreign jurisdiction and Malaysia that may affect your ability to recover your funds.

● The tax implications, currency risks, and additional transaction costs that you may have to incur.

● The counterparty and correspondent broker risks that you are exposed to.

● The political, economic and social developments that influence the overseas markets you are investing in.

These and other risks may affect the value of your investment. You should not invest in the product if you do not understand or are not comfortable with such risks.

*An “overseas-listed investment product” in this statement refers to a capital markets product that is listed for quotation or quoted only on overseas securities exchange(s) or overseas futures exchange(s) (collectively referred to as “overseas exchanges”).

  1. This statement does not disclose all the risks and other significant aspects of trading in an overseas-listed investment product. You should undertake such transactions only if you understand and are comfortable with the extent of your exposure to the risks.
  2. You should carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your experience, objectives, risk appetite, financial resources and other relevant circumstances. In considering whether to trade or to authorise someone else to trade for you, you should be aware of the following:

Differences in Regulatory Regimes

1. Overseas markets may be subject to different regulations, and may operate differently from approved exchanges in Malaysia. For example, there may be different rules providing for the safekeeping of securities and monies held by custodian banks or depositories. This may affect the level of safeguards in place to ensure proper segregation and safekeeping of your investment products or monies held overseas. There is also the risk of your investment products or monies not being protected if the custodian has credit problems or fails. Overseas markets may also have different periods for clearing and settling transactions. These may affect the information available to you regarding transaction prices and the time you have to settle your trade on such overseas.

2. Overseas markets may be subject to rules which may offer different investor protection as compared to Malaysia. Before you start to trade, you should be fully aware of the types of redress available to you in Malaysia and other relevant jurisdictions, if any.

3. Overseas-listed investment products may not be subject to the same disclosure standards that apply to investment products listed for quotation or quoted on an approved exchange in Malaysia. Where disclosure is made, differences in accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards may also affect the quality and comparability of information provided. It may also be more difficult to locate up-to-date information, and the information published may only be available in a foreign language.

Differences in legal systems

4. In some countries, legal concepts which are practiced in mature legal systems may not be in place or may have yet to be tested in courts. This would make it more difficult to predict with a degree of certainty the outcome of judicial proceedings or even the quantum of damages which may be awarded following a successful claim.

5. The Securities Commission Malaysia will be unable to compel the enforcement of the rules of the regulatory authorities or markets in other jurisdictions where your transactions will be effected.

6. The laws of some jurisdictions may prohibit or restrict the repatriation of funds from such jurisdictions including capital, divestment proceeds, profits, dividends and interest arising from investment in such countries. Therefore, there is no guarantee that the funds you have invested and the funds arising from your investment will be capable of being remitted.

7. Some jurisdictions may also restrict the amount or type of investment products that foreign investors may trade. This can affect the liquidity and prices of the overseas- listed investment products that you invest in.

Different costs involved

8. There may be tax implications of investing in an overseas-listed investment product. For example, sale proceeds or the receipt of any dividends and other income may be subject to tax levies, duties or charges in the foreign country, in Malaysia, or in both countries.

9. Your investment return on foreign currency-denominated investment products will be affected by exchange rate fluctuations where there is a need to convert from the currency of denomination of the investment products to another currency, or may be affected by exchange controls.

10. You may have to pay additional costs such as fees and broker’s commissions for transactions in overseas exchanges. In some jurisdictions, you may also have to pay a premium to trade certain listed investment products. Therefore, before you begin to trade, you should obtain a clear explanation of all commissions, fees and other charges for which you will be liable. These charges will affect your net profit (if any) or increase your loss. Counterparty and correspondent broker risks Transactions on overseas exchanges or overseas markets are generally effected by your Malaysia broker through the use of foreign brokers who have trading and/or clearing rights on those exchanges. All transactions that are executed upon your Instructions with such counterparties and correspondent brokers are dependent on their respective due performance of their obligations. The insolvency or default of such counterparties and correspondent brokers may lead to positions being liquidated or closed out without your consent and/or may result in difficulties in recovering your monies and assets held overseas.

Political, Economic and Social Developments

11. Overseas markets are influenced by the political, economic and social developments in the foreign jurisdiction, which may be uncertain and may increase the risk of investing in overseas-listed investment products.
