Jun12 FUND MANAGER’S REPORT For the fiscal year 2011-12 policy makers have succeeded in containing inflation within the target annual period average CPI of 11%. Declining commodity prices coupled with plummeting international oil prices were primarily responsible for shaping inflationary levels over FY12. Although battling price levels across the economy after the consecutive floods in 2010 and 2011 was a daunting task for the government, prudent macroeconomic engineering and ingenious statistical reconfiguration paved the way for economic smoothening. Looking forward over FY13, inflationary concerns certainly loom on prospects of crude oil shocks owing to the Iran oil Embargo. On the external front, robust growth in remittances (USD 12bn) and lower than expected trade deficit provided the much needed respite to the burgeoning current account deficit (11MFY12 USD 3.7bn). Moreover, on the fiscal side domestic resources were employed in the absence of budgeted international support for deficit monetization, further exacerbating the fiscal imbalance. Nonetheless, restoration of NATO supplies and renewed ties with the US are likely to reinstate the financial assistance from allies and international bodies – relieving pressure on the fiscal account. In addition to the payments already made against the IMF Stand-By Agreement in Feb 2012, Pakistan honored the last payment of USD108mn for FY12 in June. The payments caused an anticipated depletion of reserves, weakening PKR by 9.8% over FY12. In order for the government to follow the repayment schedule in the upcoming quarters without disrupting macroeconomic fundamentals, policy makers will have to ensure availability of funds from external resources, employ revenue generating measures and at the same time curtail expenditure. Together, these measures will ensure uptake in real economic growth. The money market remained relatively liquid in comparison to previous year’s stimulated demand during fiscal year end. Relentless growth in M2 and increase in banking deposits relieved some pressure on market liquidity and enabled the Central bank to curtail the size of Open Market Operations (OMOs) in the outgoing month. Furthermore, flows under coalition support fund are anticipated to drive market liquidity and push yields downward. In addition to external flows, success in taming inflationary pressure would also determine the magnitude of downturn in yields – which have remained elevated at historical levels over last two quarters. There is, however, some uncertainty regarding the interest rate outlook as the downward spiraling inflation signals discount rate cuts while plans of approaching the IMF hint at a potential hikes in the key interest rate. Keeping in view the uncertainty, institutional investors are expected to remain invested in shorter tenor instruments until further clarity from policy makers. MUFAP’s recommended format ECONOMIC OUTLOOK MONEY MARKET REVIEW EQUITY MARKET REVIEW The equity market remained muted during June, with average volumes registering a MoM decline of 58% (to reach 81mn shares) and the index recording a negligible return of 0.11% MoM. Dampening macroeconomic climate and political commotion were primarily responsible for the lackluster performance as domestic and foreign investors reacted negatively to the excess volatility. During the month, foreign investors divested USD 109mn from the bourse primarily on account of Pak- NATO deadlock, increased devaluation of PKR and political instability. Moreover, despite integration of the CGT Ordinance within the Finance Bill and reduction in income tax on the salaried class, Budget FY13 failed to buoy the market after a dispirited month of May. While widening current account deficit, PKR depreciation and slippages in fiscal deficit dented investor sentiments on one front; the friction between the executive and the judiciary on account of presidential inquiry for Swiss Bank Accounts marred political perception on the other end. The disqualification of Prime Minister Gilani by the Supreme Court also failed to lift investor confidence as the authenticity of the Budget and the Finance Bill passed by the Parliament earlier during the month came into question post court verdict.

With the evidence at hand, we anticipate an eventual resumption of NATO supplies via Pakistan and anticipate a pre-confirmation equity rally in the offing over the coming month.

For the fiscal year 2011-12 policy makers have succeeded in containing inflation within the targetannual period average CPI of 11%. Declining commodity prices coupled with plummeting internationaloil prices were primarily responsible for shaping inflationary levels over FY12. Although battling pricelevels across the economy after the consecutive floods in 2010 and 2011 was a daunting task for thegovernment, prudent macroeconomic engineering and ingenious statistical reconfiguration paved theway for economic smoothening. Looking forward over FY13, inflationary concerns certainly loom onprospects of crude oil shocks owing to the Iran oil Embargo.On the external front, robust growth in remittances (USD 12bn) and lower than expected trade deficitprovided the much needed respite to the burgeoning current account deficit (11MFY12 USD 3.7bn).Moreover, on the fiscal side domestic resources were employed in the absence of budgetedinternational support for deficit monetization, further exacerbating the fiscal imbalance.

In addition tothe payments already made against the IMF Stand-By Agreement in Feb 2012, Pakistan honored thelast payment of USD108mn for FY12 in June.

In order for the government to follow the repaymentschedule in the upcoming quarters without disrupting macroeconomic fundamentals, policy makers willhave to ensure availability of funds from external resources, employ revenue generating measuresand at the same time curtail expenditure.

Performance ReviewIn the outgoing month, exposure in T-Bills was reduced from 64% to 58%, while idle cash was reduced from 8% to 2% in order to takeadvantage of attractive returns offered by financial institutions via TDRs/COIs/LOPs at quarter end. Nonetheless, yields in money marketwere not stretched significantly due to excess liquidity prevalent in the market. Going forward, we anticipate yields to recede keeping in viewthe expectation of revival of Nato supply and flows from coalition support fund. During the outgoing month the liquidity of your fund improvedfrom 45 days to 32 days without hampering returns. With prudent fund management your fund outperformed its benchmark by 97bps andremains tuned to deliver attractive and competitive returns.

Performance ReviewOver June, your fund yielded 10.37%, locking the FY12-YTD return at 11.14%. Considering the quarter end, portfolio was skewed towardshigh yielding TDR placements with AA- and better rated banks whereas exposure in T-bills was reduced. This strategy is likely to enhancethe returns and reduce the volatility going forward. Nevertheless, portfolio duration was kept low in anticipation of monetary tightening at anypoint owing to the vulnerable economic scenario. We shall continue to explore low risk and less volatile investment avenues while activelylooking for lucrative trading opportunities.

Exposure in FI placements wasenhanced in order to capitalize on the high yields offered by financial institutions on account of fiscal year-end liquidity demand. Investmentsin T-Bills on the other hand were reduced as higher yields were available across COIs, LOPs and TDRs.It is a privilege for the management to inform its unit-holders that this is the fund’s highest historical return on a YTD basis.

Performance ReviewAlthough your fund ended the year with a net YTD return of 5.05% on account of healthy activity on the equity bourse over 2HFY12,provisioning taken for a small portion of non-performing assets, however, trimmed down the final net return to -0.02%. The measure takenat the end of the outgoing fiscal year will ensure that the fund remains clear of the adverse impact of non-performing assets over theupcoming year (i.e. FY13).After successfully navigating the lackluster month of May by reducing equity exposure, fund management increased the same from 31% to47% in June to capitalize on expectations that the US and Pakistan are close to sealing the NATO route deal. For the upcoming year, yourfund remains poised to capitalize on fundamentally strong and lucrative opportunities within the domestic capital market.

Performance ReviewAfter a laggard 1HFY12, the fund witnessed a sharp pull-back as performance improved on the back of healthy activity within the capitalmarket. That said, the management decided to provide completely for non-performing assets during June to eliminate any future possibilityof provisioning. Resultantly, the fund has ended the year with a YTD return of -4.69% in June. Going forward, the fund aims to strike anoptimal mix of fixed-income and equity securities to capitalize on equity-induced opportunities and protect against excess interest rate risk.
