Lakson Outlook - April 2016

Economic & Markets Review - Pakistan Economy CPI inflation continues to accelerate as it clocked in at 4.2% YoY during April 2016, higher than expectation, on account of greater-than-expected rise in price of food items. On a month-on-month basis, it was up 1.6% as compared to a rise of 0.15% during March. Specifically, food inflation picked up by 3.5% YoY compared to 2.5% YoY last month. Rebound in inflation in the upcoming months is expected to remain modest, especially as we head closer to Ramzan and with recent recovery in oil prices. Other macro indicators also continued their positive trend in Apr'16, where Large-scale manufacturing (LSM) grew by 4.4% YoY in 8MFY16. Private sector credit off-take came in at 10.5% YoY as of March 2016, likely benefitting from monetary easing in CY15 and with working capital finance showing signs of recovery. Long- term finance accelerated to 19.4% YoY, followed by recovery from Trade finance (up 6.4% YoY in March 2016). As per provisional data, tax collection in 10MFY16 came in at PKR 2.3 trillion, up 19% YoY on track with the GoP's target for FY16. Current account balance posted a USD 239 million surplus in March 2016 against surplus of USD 128 million in February 2016 primarily benefiting from low oil prices despite drag from slowdown in remittances. Pakistan's current account deficit (CAD) shrank by 18.5% YoY in the period July 2015 - March 2016 to USD 1.6 billion from USD 1.9 billion in the corresponding period of the previous year. The deficit is now 0.7% of GDP as opposed to 1.0% in 9MFY15. The reduction in the deficit can largely be attributed to a 6% YoY growth in remittances and a 5% YoY decline in the import of goods and services. Fixed Income Review In the last T-Bill auction, the SBP rejected all bids amounting to PKR 339 billion on account of higher yield bids. Meanwhile, in the last PIB auction, government raised PKR 136 billion against bids amounting to PKR 193 billion. 3, 5, 10, and 20-year bonds were offered for sale where the cut off yield settled at 6.54%, 6.99%, and 8.18% in 3-year, 5-year, and 10year bonds respectively, while no bids were received in the 20-year tenor. Both the T-Bill and PIB auction result showed an increase in cut off yields, implying a change in the Money Market stance in favor of bottoming out of the interest rate cycle. Equities Markets Review Month of April saw the KSE30 index up by 5.4% to 20,205 points, despite all the political noise, lower corporate profits, continued FPI outflow (USD 18.1 million; USD 46 million exVitol stake purchase in HASCOL) and talk of Super Tax imposition for yet another year. The index was mainly driven by the heavyweight Oil & Gas Exploration (up by 13%), and Commercial Banks (up by 8%), with support from (a) improved global sentiment, (b) potential reclassification of Pakistan in to the MSCI Emerging Market Index, as also indicated by considerable rise in average volumes from 59.3mn shares in Mar'16 to 83.2mn shares in Apr'16. In addition to Oil & Gas Exploration and Banks, Refineries (up 21.5%), Textile Composite (up 11.9%), and Cements (up 2.2%) were among the top contributors to the index in April'16. KSE-30 continues to trade at a discount to regional indices. The forward PE ratio of the KSE 30 in April'16 was 9.2x, compared to 13.2x of Shanghai Composite Index and 15.9x of India's Sensex Index.

Lakson Outlook - April 2016

Economic & Markets Review - International Developed Markets Review The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average Index closed up 0.27% and 0.50% respectively during the month of April'16, while NASDAQ closed down 1.94%. In addition to the earnings season, dovish economic numbers undermined market performance. The Federal Reserve kept the policy rate unchanged and continued to sound prudent in its policy statement, with concerns over slow economic growth weighing in especially with US manufacturing growth posting slower pace in April than forecasts. Apart from the US, trading volumes in European stock markets also plunged significantly, reflecting rising economic and political uncertainty.

Emerging Markets Review The MSCI Emerging Market Index went up by 0.41% during April'16 on account of (a) recovery in global commodity prices (b) expectation of a slower US interest rate liftoff following Federal Reserve's comments, and (c) appreciation of emerging market currencies against the US Dollar.

China's Shanghai Composite Index posted a loss of 2.18% in April'16, with economic concerns continuing to play in. GDP growth for 1QCY16 was reported to be 6.7%, within government's target, but lowest since 2009 financial crisis. The latest Chinese economic data is showing signs of stabilization, especially after a slowdown in the second half of last year. Commodities Review Oil prices continued to rise in April, with Brent and WTI posting 21.5% and 19.8% gains respectively, underpinned by a weaker dollar and hopes of reduction in the global oil glut. Expectation of slowing US crude oil production and three-days strike in Kuwait contributed to the significant comeback of oil prices in April'16. In addition to this, Core Commodity CRB Index gained 8.3% in April'16, thus making significant breakthrough after being under pressure in Jan'16 (-5.33%). On the contrary, Coal prices remained fairly stable (up 0.76%) despite a bounce back from other commodities in April'16

Lakson Money Market Fund

MUFAP’s Recommended Format

Investment Objective The investment objective of the Lakson Money Market Fund is to provide stable and competitive returns in line with the money markets, exhibiting low volatility consistent with capital preservation by constructing a liquid portfolio of low risk short term investments. Performance Review The Lakson Money Market Fund generated an annualized return of 5.64% against the benchmark return of 5.22% in April 2016. The Fund outpeformed the benchmark by 0.42%. Over the last 12 months the Fund has outperformed the benchmark by 0.20% and generated a return of 5.99%. Asset allocation changed with exposure to T bills dropping to 27% while placements with Banks and DFIs and cash holdings remained stable at 16% and 56% respectively. The higher cash position meant that portfolio WAM continued to decline and was recorded at 23 days. Keeping in mind the emergent pressures on secondary market yields and uncertainty on the duration of the current monetary stance the Fund will continue to stay on the shorter end of the yield curve. WWF Disclosure As of March 31st, 2016 the LMMF has maintained provisions against Workers' Welfare Fund's liability to the tune of PKR 55.0 million. If the same were not made the NAV per unit of the LMMF would be higher by PKR 1.41.

Lakson Outlook - April 2016

Lakson Equity Fund

MUFAP’s Recommended Format

Investment Objective The investment objective of the Lakson Equity Fund is to provide long term capital appreciation by investing mainly in equity and related listed securities. Investments will be made in companies of substance, financial strength and demonstrably superior management skills with some exposure given to smaller capitalized value stocks. Performance Review LEF generated an MTD return of 3.53% in April'16, underperforming the benchmark return of 5.42%. On YTD basis, the fund was 4.73% vs -6.34% of the benchmark. LEF maintained overall exposure at a cautious level of 84%. Gains were realised in the upswing in prices as result announcements generated interest. However, recovery in commodity prices in the April was a suprise which caused the benchmark heavyweights to rally and surpass fund returns. LEF trimmed exposure in Cements, parking the proceeds in Banks, Oil and Power Generation. Reshuffling of Chemicals took place as fundamentals changed for the sector. WWF Disclosure As of March 31st, 2016 the LEF has maintained provisions against Workers' Welfare Fund's liability to the tune of PKR 19.9 million. If the same were not made the NAV per unit of the LEF would be higher by PKR 0.75. If the LEF would not have made the WWF provisions during FY16, the year to date return of the LEF for FY16 would be higher by 0.00%. For details investors are advised to read the Note 8.1 of the latest Financial Statements of the LEF.
