earnings growth of +19% and target PE of 15x for 2010) is
achievable. Hence, we remain highly invested in equities for
now. The key risks to our strategy are deteriorating global
growth momentum and policy mistakes make by authorities,
which we are monitoring these closely.

improvement, the portfolio will remain invested. We overweight

of its future performance. The price of units and distribution payable, if any, may go down as well as up. ING Baraka Capital Protected is a capital protected fund. No units are
available for subscription because the offer period for ING Baraka Capital Protected fund was 9 May 2007 – 22 June 2007. The Maturity Date of the Fund is on the 3rd Anniver-
sary of the Fund which is expected to be 7 July 2010. The capital protection only applies to unit holders who hold their investment until maturity date. Any redemption before the
maturity date would be based on the NAV of the fund on that day and would be charged an exit fee. To achieve its capital protection objective, the Fund invests in Ringgit denomi-
nated Islamic Negotiable Instruments. Due to this, there may be dilution of performance due to the capital protection structure being in place compared to a conventional fund
without capital protection. This fund is not guaranteed and is subject to risks. Principal risks of the Fund are early termination risk, currency risk, country risk, interest rate risk,
concentration risk, credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk. The ING Baraka Capital Protected Prospectus dated 9 May 2007 has been registered with Securities Commission,
who takes no responsibility for its contents. A copy of the Prospectuses can be obtained from ING Funds offices or any of our authorized distributors as listed under the Corporate Directory
in the Prospectus. Investors are advised to read the Prospectus for further details of the capital protection structure. If investors are in doubt about the information provided, investors
should seek professional advice.

of its future performance. The price of units and distribution payable, if any, may go down as well as up. ING Baraka Capital Protected is a capital protected fund. No units are
available for subscription because the offer period for ING Baraka Capital Protected fund was 9 May 2007 – 22 June 2007. The Maturity Date of the Fund is on the 3rd Anniver-
sary of the Fund which is expected to be 7 July 2010. The capital protection only applies to unit holders who hold their investment until maturity date. Any redemption before the
maturity date would be based on the NAV of the fund on that day and would be charged an exit fee. To achieve its capital protection objective, the Fund invests in Ringgit denomi-
nated Islamic Negotiable Instruments. Due to this, there may be dilution of performance due to the capital protection structure being in place compared to a conventional fund
without capital protection. This fund is not guaranteed and is subject to risks. Principal risks of the Fund are early termination risk, currency risk, country risk, interest rate risk,
concentration risk, credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk. The ING Baraka Capital Protected Prospectus dated 9 May 2007 has been registered with Securities Commission,
