Bursa ETF Watch: Capital Market Navigator 13th February 2023


EXCHANGE TRADED FUND: TRADEPLUS SHARIAH GOLD TRACKER (0828EA)
RATING : BUY
TARGET PRICE : MYR2.8070
The ETF and Its Objective
The TradePlus Shariah Gold Tracker ("Fund") provide investors a Shariah -compliant avenue to invest in physical gold
without the hassle of storing or insuring gold bullion. The Fund closely tracks the returns of gold through an Exchange-
traded Fund structure.

Key Points: Gold price final run? Update Fund vs. Benchmark Performance in MYR

• Since our previous update titled “Gold price final


run?” dated 23rd December 2022, we note that
we believe that the war is still far from being over.
This may nudge investors to seek gold
investment for its safe-haven characteristic.

• FOMC February has closed its curtain with a


well-expected 25bps rate hike announced,
effectively bringing the benchmark rate to a 4.50-
4.75% target range. Historically, gold prices do
react positively during interest rate hike regimes.

• We maintained our target price of MYR2.8070


and a BUY rating, which reflects a 9.65% upside
for the 12-month forecast return.

Opinion/Outlook
Since our previous update titled “Gold price final run?” dated 23rd December 2022, we note that we believe that the war
is still far from being over and closing up to the 1st anniversary of Russia invading Ukraine on 24 th February, the war
tension may rise again. This may nudge investors to seek gold investment for its safe-haven characteristic. Since then,
there have been headlines that are worth noting as seen in Exhibit 1 which show investors seeking gold investment as
a safe haven.

Exhibit 1: Gold as safe haven instrument.

In the meantime, the FOMC February has closed its curtain with a well-expected 25bps rate hike announced, effectively
bringing the benchmark rate to a 4.50-4.75% target range. Historically, gold prices do react positively during interest rate
hike regimes (Exhibit 2). However, Jerome Powell’s acknowledgement of disinflation is underway was too welcoming for
investors despite he remained much of the Fed’s hawkish remarks. In short, Powell’s speech outlined three important
points the Fed continued to focus on where the Fed’s kept its hawkish stance:

1) “We think we’ve covered a lot of ground. Even so, we have more work to do” and “Restoring price stability
will likely require maintaining a restrictive stance for some time,” Powell told reporters. While recent re adings
on price pressures were encouraging, he added that “it would be very premature to declare victory.”
2) “The committee anticipates that ongoing increases in the target range will be appropriate in order to attain
a stance of monetary policy that is sufficiently restrictive to return inflation to 2% over time, repeating
language it has used in previous communications.
3) “It is gratifying to see the disinflationary process now getting under way and we continue to get strong labour
market data,” Powell said. Still, officials would need “substantially more evidence” that inflation was on a
sustained downward path.

So, looking at technical analysis, the gold price (Exhibit 3) was able to breach the downtrend channel since our last
update (6th December) and appears to trade in an uptrend since. The double bottom formation coupled with the breaching
of the downtrend channel plus the gold price has been trading above the psychological 1,800 level, this indicates that
the uptrend price momentum may stay for longer. Although the Stochastic oscillator lines are within the overbought level,
the two lines did intercept recently, which signals a reversal of price momentum from buying to selling again, but we think
this would not stay for long as the gold price would have to breach the 0.236 Fibonacci level of 1,832.49 first. Thus,
should this buying momentum continue as the tension between Ukraine-Russia continues to fill headlines, the gold price
may trend higher to the next psychological level of 1,900.00 or 0.000 Fibonacci level of 2,032.20. Thus, we maintained
our target price of MYR2.8070 and a BUY rating, which reflects a 9.65% upside for the 12-month forecast return.

CREATION/ Creation application is an application to create new units. Redemption application is an application to redeem
REDEMPTION exiting units. For more information on the unit creation/redemption block, please refer to the respective ETF’s
prospectus.

DIVIDEND YIELD The amount of money a company pays shareholders (over the course of a year) for owning a share of its stock
divided by its current stock price—displayed as a percentage.
EXCHANGE The fund represents a basket of securities (that typically track an index), and is listed and trades like stocks on an
TRADED FUND: exchange. ETFs can be traded throughout the day.
H SHARES: Securities of companies incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and nominated by the Central
Government for listing and trading on the SEHK (Stock Exchange of Hong Kong). They can only be traded by
Chinese investors under the Qualified Domestic Institutional Investors Scheme (QDII). There are no restrictions for
international investors.
INDEX: An imaginary portfolio of securities representing a particular market or a portion of it.

K INDICATOR: K indicator is defined by K(d) = 1−N(d−7)/N(d), where d is the number of days from the reference date, and N(d)
and N(d−7) are the total number of infected people on days d and (d−7), respectively. Since N(d) is greater than
N(d−7) during the period from the initiation of spread to convergence, K takes a value between 0 and 1.Without
loss of generality, the daily evolution of N(d) can be expressed with a time dependent exponential factor a(d) as
N(d+ 1) = exp (a(d))N(d). Our assumption is that a(d) can be expressed by a geometric series.
NET ASSET Value of an ETF on per share basis and is calculated as total asset minus total liabilities divided b y number of
VALUE (NAV): shares.
PRICE TO The ratio for valuing a company that measures its current share price relative to its per-share earnings. It is used
EARNINGS by investors and analysts to determine the relative value of a company's shares in an apples-to-apples comparison.
It can also be used to compare a company against its own historical record or to compare aggregate markets
against one another or over time.
PRICE TO BOOKS It is the measure to compare a firm's market capitalization to its book value and calculated by dividing the
company's stock price per share by its book value per share (BVPS). An asset's book value is equal to its carrying
value on the balance sheet, and companies calculate it netting the asset against its accumulated depreciation.

relation to the administration of ETF-RS and/or this report.

Important disclosures

This research report is strictly confidential and has been prepared for information purposes only by Phillip Research Sdn Bhd (“PRSB”), a subsidiary of
Phillip Capital Holdings Sdn Bhd (“PCH”) and is meant for circulation to its clients and clients of other subsidiaries companies of PCH particularly Phillip
Mutual Berhad (“PMB”), Phillip Capital Management Sdn Bhd (“PCM”), Phillip Wealth Planners Sdn Bhd (“PWP”) and Phillip Capital Sdn Bhd (“PCSB”)
(collectively ref er to as Phillip Group other licensed intermediaries (“PGOLI”)) only or such other persons as may be deemed eligible to receive such
research report, information or opinion contained herein. Neither the publication/communication nor any portion hereof may be reprinted, distributed, sold,
resold, redistributed, copied, reproduced, published, republished, displayed, posted or transmitted in any f orm or media or by any means without the
written consent of PRSB.

The policy of PRSB is to only publish research that is impartial, independent, clear, fair, and not misleading. Analysts never receive compensation from
companies they cover. Regulations or market practice of some jurisdictions/markets prescribe certain disclosures to be made for certain actual, potential
or perceived conflicts of interests relating to a research report as below. This research disclosure is for your inf ormation only and does not constitute any
recommendation, representation or warranty. Absence of a disclosable position should not be taken as endorsement on the validity or quality of the

To maintain the independence and integrity of PRSB’s research, PGOLI activities such as fund management, dealing in securities (restricted to unit trust

This means that PRSB is not part of and does not report to any of PGOLI. Accordingly, PGOLI does not supervise nor control the activities of PRSB’s
research analysts. PRSB’s research analysts report to the Head of Research, who in turn report to PRSB’s senior management.

PRSB and PGOLI have in place internal controls designed to manage conflicts of interest that may arise as a result of PGOLI engaging in f und
management, dealing in securities (restricted to unit trust and private retirement scheme), dealing in derivatives, clearing for derivatives, financial planning
and PRSB activities. Some examples of these controls include: the use of information barriers and other information controls designed to ensure that
conf idential inf ormation is only shared on a “need to know” basis and in compliance with PRSB and PGOLI’s Chinese Wall policies and procedures;
measures designed to ensure that interactions that may occur among PRSB’s research personnel, fund management, dealing in securities (restricted to
unit trust and private retirement scheme), dealing in derivatives, clearing for derivatives, and f inancial planning, PGOLI’s f inancial product issuers and
PRSB’s research analysts do not compromise the integrity and independence of PRSB’s research.

Neither analysts nor their household members/associates/may have a f inancial interest in, or be an of ficer, director or advisory board member of
companies covered by the analyst unless disclosed herein. In circumstances where an analyst has a pre-existing holding in any securities under coverage,
those holdings are grandfathered and the analyst is prohibited from trading such securities up to the date of the publication of this research report.

Unless specified otherwise, PRSB did not receive investment banking/non-investment banking income f rom, and did not manage/co-manage a public
of fering for, the listed company during the past 12 months, and it does not expect to receive investment banking compensation from the listed company
within the coming three months. Unless mentioned otherwise, PRSB does not own a material disclosable position, and does not m ake a market, in the
securities.

our compensation were or will be directly or indirectly related to the specific recommendation or views contained in this report or to any investment banking
relationship with the subject company covered in this report (for the past one year) or otherwise any other relationship with such company which leads to
receipt of fees f rom the company except in ordinary course of business of the company. We hereby confirm that our analyst(s) has/have not been placed
under any undue inf luence, intervention or pressure by any person(s) in compiling this research report. This report is prepared without any intention to
raise, lower or maintaining the price of the securities covered or to induce the recipient to buy or sell the securities covered. In addition, our analyst(s)

are also provided; which, if hit, closes the trade recommendation automatically. Prices and yields shown i n recommendations are taken at the time of
