NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013<br />
2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)<br />
h) Amounts due from and due to brokers (continued)<br />
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial<br />
liability and of allocating the interest in<strong>com</strong>e or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective<br />
interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts throughout the<br />
expected life of the financial instrument, or, when appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount of<br />
the financial asset or financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, each of the Sub-Funds<br />
estimates cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider future<br />
credit losses. The calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract<br />
that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts.<br />
i) Units<br />
Units of each of the Sub-Funds are redeemable at the option of the unitholders and are classified as financial<br />
liabilities. The units can be put back to the respective Sub-Fund for cash equal to a proportionate share of<br />
the respective Sub-Fund’s net asset value. The unit is carried at the redemption amount that is payable at<br />
the year end date if the unitholder exercises the right to put the units back to the respective Sub-Fund.<br />
Units are issued and redeemed at the unitholders’ option at prices based on the Sub-Fund’s net asset value<br />
per unit at the time of issue or redemption. The respective Sub-Fund’s net asset value per unit is calculated<br />
by dividing the net assets attributable to the unitholders with the total number of outstanding units.<br />
In accordance with the provisions of the Explanatory Memorandum of each of the Sub-Funds, investment<br />
positions are valued based on the last traded market price for the purpose of determining the net asset value<br />
per unit for subscriptions and redemptions. However, as stated in note 2(c), for the purpose of <strong>com</strong>pliance<br />
with IFRS, investment positions are valued at bid/ask price. Consequently, the differences described above<br />
adjust the carrying amount of the net assets attributable to unitholders as set out in note 3.<br />
j) Proceeds and payments on subscriptions and redemption of units<br />
The net asset value of each of the Sub-Funds is <strong>com</strong>puted daily. Prices for subscriptions and redemptions<br />
are based on the net asset value per unit calculated as at the close of business on the relevant valuation day<br />
in accordance with each of the Sub-Fund’s Explanatory Memorandum.<br />
Proceeds and payments for units subscribed and redeemed are shown as movements in the statements of<br />
changes in net assets attributable to unitholders.<br />
k) Transaction costs<br />
Transaction costs are costs incurred to acquire financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.<br />
They include fees and <strong>com</strong>missions paid to agents, advisors, brokers and dealers. Transaction costs, when<br />
incurred, are immediately recognised in the statements of <strong>com</strong>prehensive in<strong>com</strong>e.<br />
l) Taxation<br />
Under current laws of the Cayman Islands, there is no in<strong>com</strong>e, estate, transfer, sales or other Cayman Island<br />
taxes payable by the Fund. Generally, the Fund intends to conduct its affairs so as not to be liable to taxation<br />
in any other jurisdiction, however, the Fund may invest in securities whose in<strong>com</strong>e is subject to nonrefundable<br />
foreign withholding.<br />
