Lakson Outlook - April 2016

Economic & Markets Review - Pakistan Economy CPI inflation continued to accelerate and was recorded at 4.2% YoY in April, due to an unanticipated increase in the price of food items. This increase was reflected most strongly in the month-on-month number which was up by 1.6%, the highest reading since July 2014. With Ramadan drawing closer and the recent recovery in oil prices inflation could continue to surprise on the higher side. Other macro indicators also continued their positive trend in Apr'16, where Large-scale manufacturing (LSM) grew by 4.4% YoY during 8MFY16. The effect of lower rates and improved sentiment was witnessed in private sector credit which increased by 10.5% YoY, while healthy growth was witnessed in long term and trade financing as well. As per provisional data, tax collection for 10MFY16 amounted to PKR 2.3 trillion, up 19% YoY on track with the GoP's target for FY16. The current account posted a USD 239 million surplus in March 2016 primarily benefiting from lower oil prices despite a slowdown in remittances. Pakistan's current account deficit shrank by 18.5% YoY during 9MFY16 to USD 1.6 billion. The deficit is now 0.7% of GDP as opposed to 1.0% during 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 The last T bill auction was scrapped despite participation of PKR 339 billion as the SBP deemed the level of bids too low. Meanwhile, in the last PIB auction, the SBP accepted bids of PKR 136 billion against participation of PKR 193 billion. The cut off yields for the 3, 5 and 10 year bonds settled at 6.54%, 6.99%, and 8.18% respectively. Secondary market yields have more recently come under pressure as expectations of further monetary easing have faded in the light of higher inflation and uncertainty over PKR stability. Equities Markets Review Despite political noise, modest corporate results and continued FPI outflow (USD 18.1 million) the KSE-30 index rallied by 5.4% to 20,205 points during April. The rally was driven by index heavyweights; Oil & Gas Exploration (+13%) and Commercial Banks (+8%), which saw renewed investor interest on higher oil prices, attractive valuations and optimism over Pakistan's reclassification in to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. This optimism could also be seen in the 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 (+21.5%), Textile Composite (+11.9%), and Cements (+2.2%) were among the top contributors to the index during April. The KSE-30 index 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 inched up 0.27% and 0.50% respectively during April, while the 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 highlight concerns over slow economic and manufacturing growth weighing on the rate of future rate increases. Apart from the US, trading volumes in European stock markets plunged significantly, reflecting rising economic and political uncertainty. Emerging Markets Review The MSCI Emerging Market Index went up by 0.41% during April 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%, with economic concerns continuing to play on investor sentiment. GDP growth for 1QCY16 was reported at 6.7%, within the government's target, but the lowest since the 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 surging by 21.5% and 19.8% respectively, on the back of a weaker dollar and expectations that oil markets would rebalance going into 2017. Expectation of slowing US crude oil production and a strike in Kuwait contributed to the oil rally in April. In addition to this, the Core Commodity CRB Index gained 8.3%, making a significant breakthrough after being under pressure in January (-5.33%). Coal prices on the other hand remained fairly stable (+0.76%) despite a strong bounce back in other commodities during the month.

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 April 30th, 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 1.40. If the LMMF would not have made the WWF provisions during FY16, the year to date annualized return of the LMMF for FY16 would be higher by 0.07%. For details investors are advised to read the Note 8.1 of the latest Financial Statements of the LMMF.

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 a MTD return of 3.53% in April'16, underperforming the benchmark return of 5.42%. On a YTD basis the Fund was up by 4.73% versus a decline of 6.34% in 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 April 30th, 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.
