ET Smart Wealth Sdn Bhd (“ETSW”), a licensed Fund Manager regulated under the Securities Commission Malaysia, is steadfast in its commitment to combat the scourge of money laundering and terrorist financing, both of which are criminal acts that inflict untold harm on society.

We recognize that most countries have implemented Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter Terrorism Financing (CFT) legislation that imposes stringent obligations on financial service providers to prevent these criminal activities. ETSW remains committed to adhering to the highest standards of regulatory compliance and industry best practices. We are guided by the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 ("AMLATFPUAA"), along with any relevant laws, regulations and guidelines with regards to anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing in Malaysia. As such, we have put in place processes and procedures to:

• guard against, detect, and report any incidents of money laundering and financing of terrorism to Bank Negara Malaysia;
• mitigate and manage actual and/or potential exposure to financial crime and breaches of legislation or regulation;
• ensure that there are robust procedures and controls in place; and
• protect the assets and reputation of ETSW.

ET Smart Wealth Sdn Bhd (“ETSW”) is committed to ensure that all its businesses and operations are conducted lawfully, ethically and with integrity. ETSW takes a zero-tolerance approach against all forms of fraud, bribery and corruption and requires the same approach from its Board of Directors, senior management as well as its employees. Similarly, ETSW expects the same commitment from all third parties that it deals with on any matter and in any manner whether they are with private or public sector organisations or government entities.

ETSW does not tolerate any person from ETSW as well as any third party seeking or doing business with ETSW from offering, giving, receiving or soliciting any payments to or from any persons whether or not explicitly prohibited by the Anti-Bribery & Anti-Corruption Policy (“ABAC”) or by-laws. All ETSW’s employees are prohibited to give or offer anything of value including gifts, hospitality or entertainment or except otherwise permitted by this ABAC Policy to anyone for the purpose of improperly obtaining or retaining a business or personal advantage.

Should you have any knowledge of or reasonably believe the existence of an attempted, suspected or actual bribery and have any reason to suspect any violation of the ABAC Policy and the related laws, you are expected to report it in good faith via one of the following channels:

1. A disclosure of improper conduct may be made in writing to the ETSW’s Compliance Officer and the disclosure shall be marked as ‘Private & Confidential’ to the following address:
   
   Compliance Department ET Smart Wealth Sdn Bhd Suite 662, Block A1, Leisure Commerce Square, No. 9, Jalan PJS 8/9, 46150 Petaling Jaya Selangor Darul Ehsan
2. Meet personally with ETSW’s Compliance Officer or its officer(s).

General

ET Smart Wealth Sdn. Bhd. (“ETSW”) is committed to maintaining a culture of the highest ethics and integrity in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and internal policies.

As part of this commitment, ETSW has in place an avenue for disclosure of any improper conduct. One way for ETSW to detect and deal with improper conduct is through information provided by whistleblowers. Generally, a whistleblower is an insider of an organisation (e.g. employee, consultant or vendor) who reports improper conduct that has occurred within that same organisation.

In an effort to encourage whistleblowers to come forward with information on any alleged improper conduct, the Whistleblower Protection Act 2010 provides safe avenues for them to make disclosures of such alleged improper conduct (whistleblowing) to the relevant authorities in good faith, by protecting their identities, providing them with immunity from civil and criminal proceedings and protecting them from detrimental action.

Who is a Whistleblower?

Under the Policy, any of the following persons can be a Whistleblower:

1. Any employee, agent, or office-bearer in ETSW; and
2. External parties, such as ETSW’s customers, service providers, vendors, consultants, or shareholders.

Confidentiality and Protection of Whistleblower

The identity of a whistleblower who discloses in good faith will be kept confidential and will only be disclosed on a strictly need-to-know basis. Employees who whistleblow in good faith will also be protected by ETSW from any repercussions.
To facilitate the investigation, details, and information on the concern made by the Whistleblower should include name(s) of the person(s) involved, date and location of the event, and provide supporting documents/proof.
Any reports of improper conduct committed by market participants and/or any breach of the securities laws by any market participant should be channelled to the Securities Commission which is an “enforcement agency” under the Whistleblower Protection Act 2010 (“Act”).
