LONG TERM CAPITAL APPRECIATION

icapital.biz Berhad is a long-term capital appreciation fund, managed based on an eclectic value investing philosophy.

For those who are familiar with long-term value investing, there will be times when this time-proven investing style will yield superior returns, and there will be times when it will yield lower returns.

Even Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway experiences such phases. We often read about Warren Buffett’s impressive longterm performance but one needs to bear in mind the times when Berkshire Hathaway was not performing.

In June 1998, Berkshire Hathaway traded at a high of US$84,000 per ‘A’ share. More than seven years later, it traded at a high of US$84,600 or a measly gain of less than 1% in total.

In that same period, the S&P 500 gained 8.6%, measured from a high of 1,145 points in  June 1998 and a high of 1,243 points in September 2005.

Investors who are not long-term focused or not genuine value investors would have been disappointed with Buffett’s performance (Berkshire Hathaway was having US$35.96 billion cash in 2003) and could have called for his retirement.

Fortunately for Berkshire Hathaway, it has plenty of like-minded investors who have stayed with Warren Buffett (in March 2009, Berkshire Hathaway fell to a low of US$70,050).

A good fund manager should not get distracted by shorter-term noises; similarly, share owners who believe in long-term value investing should not get distracted by shorter-term investors.

For your Fund to succeed year in, year out, attracting the right share owners is very crucial.

4.4 IMPAIRMENT

(a) Impairment of Financial Assets All financial assets (other than those categorised at fair value through profit or loss), are assessed at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events having an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the asset.

For an equity instrument, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment. 

An impairment loss in respect of held-to-maturity investments and loans and receivables financial assets is recognised in profit or loss and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

An impairment loss in respect of available-for-sale financial assets is recognised in profit or loss and is measured as the difference between its cost (net of any principal payment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in the fair value reserve.

In addition, the cumulative loss recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under fair value reserve, is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

With the exception of available-for-sale equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

In respect of available-for-sale equity instruments, impairment losses previously recognised in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss made is recognised in other comprehensive income.
