Lakson Outlook - March 2013

Economic & Markets Review - Pakistan Economic Review Consumer Price Index ("CPI") for March '13 clocked in at 6.6% YoY, the lowest level witnessed during the current fiscal year. The benign CPI reading during the month was mainly a result of high base effect and a nominal uptick in MoM inflation. On MoM basis, CPI inched up by 0.4% during March '13, compared to a decline of 0.3% in the preceding month. The monthly inflation witnessed a marginal increase as the "Non-Perishable Food" group which accounts for ~30% of the index, declined by 0.4% MoM. For the 9MFY13, CPI averaged at 8.0% vis-à-vis an average of 10.8% in the 9MFY12; a YoY decline of 280 bps.

Yield Curve 13.0% 12.0% 11.0% 10.0% 9.0%

The external account position remained fragile as the current account witnessed a massive deficit of USD 596 million in February '13 taking the cumulative deficit for the 8MFY13 to USD 700 million. The higher current account deficit in February '13 was primarily on account of interest payments to IMF. Moreover, the monthly remittances stood at USD 1,028 million; 12.2% lower than the average monthly inflow of USD 1,172 million during the 7MFY13. Trade deficit declined by 2.8% MoM during February '13, posting a deficit of USD 1,236 million compared to a deficit of USD 1,282 million in the preceding month. The reduction in monthly trade deficit was mainly supported by 7.1% MoM decline in imports which stood at USD 3,156 million. For the 8MFY13, current account deficit as a percentage of GDP stood at 0.3%.

As of March 22, 2013, the foreign exchange reserves of the country squeezed by USD 566 million owing to a weak external account position. The total liquid reserves of the country as of the above mentioned date stood at USD 12.37 billion, while the reserves of SBP stood at USD 7.27 billion, providing a cover for less than 3 months of the import bill. Pak Rupee depreciated by 0.25% against the green-back during the month and USD/PKR ended the month at 98.43.

Fixed Income Market During March '13 the SBP continued its Open Market Operations ("OMOs") and injected an average of PKR 464 billion compared to PKR 558 billion during February '13. Though a decline in the size of weekly liquidity injection over the 1QCY13 is welcome from a systemic risk point of view, it has to be balanced against the PKR 283 billion in deficit financing provided by the SBP during the same period. With March '13 being the last month of the quarter, the market was generally on the higher side which meant the average overnight repo rate increased by 32 bps over February '13 to 9.07%. Cut off yields continued to go up as money market participants demonstrated their preference for shorter tenors in the belief that monetary tightening may commence sooner than expected. 3M, 6M and 12M cut off yields increased by 14 bps, 6 bps and 3 bps respectively over February '13. However despite bids being largely restricted to 3M T-Bills, the government was able to raise PKR 284 billion against its target of PKR 250 billion during the month. The SBP has also announced its T-Bill auction calendar for the 4QFY13 and set a target of PKR 1,325 billion against maturities of PKR 1,246 billion. Going forward liquidity may remain constrained as USD 640 million is repaid to the IMF over April '13 - May '13. And despite a record low CPI figure of 6.56% for Mar '13, interest will remain firmly tilted towards the shorter end of the yield curve as potential macroeconomic instability stemming from a vulnerable fiscal and external position precludes any realistic chance of further cuts in the discount rate. Equity Market Review The KSE-100 Index declined by 0.7% during March' 13, bringing an end to a 9-month streak of positive returns as uncertainty over the caretaker setup took its toll on the index. The KSE-100 Index has posted a cumulative return of 30.7% during the 9MFY13. During the month, the SBP mandated the commercial banks to pay 6.0% rate on all saving deposits on the basis of average monthly balance. This SBP directive created a negative sentiment in the market for the banking sector as the banks used to pay profit on the lowest balance of the month and this directive is expected to have a negative impact of 3-7% on the bottomline of different banks. Fixed line telecommunication sector remained volatile during the month on the ICH related news flow. In CY12 Pakistan was the best performing market in the region however in CY13 despite a 6.7% increase in the first quarter Pakistan is an average performer in the region. Trading activity declined in March '13 as the average volume traded stood at 197 million shares compared to 285 million shares in February '13, a decline of 31% MoM. A 10.5% MoM decline was also witnessed in Foreign Portfolio Investment ("FPI") that stood at USD 25.86 million in March '13 compared to USD 28.91 million in February '13.

Lakson Outlook - March 2013

Economic & Markets Review - International Developed Markets The developed markets cherished the continued quantitative easing programs initiated by various central banks as the MSCI World Index rallied 2.4% during March '13 taking the cumulative gains for the 9MFY13 to 16.1%. The bullish momentum in developed markets was mainly triggered by US & Japanese equities as the S&P 500 Index surged by 3.6% during March '13, while Nikkei 225 Index posted a massive gain of 7.1% during the same period. On the flipside, the Euro Zone remained relatively weak as the MSCI Europe Index fell by 0.5% during the month. The buoyancy in US markets emanated from Federal Reserve's pledge to keep the monthly USD 85 billion bond purchase program intact as the central bank considered US economy still too weak to pull back its stimulus package. The Federal Reserve also left the interest rate unchanged and vowed to keep the interest rate near zero until the jobless rate fell to 6.5%. Moreover, U.S. Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index ("PMI") signalled a further improvement in US manufacturing business conditions, as the index was recorded at 54.6 in March' 13, up from February's 54.3. Similarly, the Japanese markets bagged the limelight as the new Bank of Japan ("BoJ") Governor, Haruhiko Kuroda, pledged to continue monetary easing till the 2% inflation target was reached. The economic malaise afflicting the Euro-zone deepened in March '13 after figures for activity across all major industries declined. Markit's Euro-zone composite Purchasing Managers' Index ("PMI"), seen as a reliable economic growth indicator for the bloc, fell more than expected to 46.5 in March '13 from 47.9 in February '13.

Emerging Markets Emerging market equities lost the positive momentum gained during the earlier part of the year as the MSCI Emerging Markets Index declined by -1.9% during March' 13, limiting the gains for the 9MFY13 to 10.4%. Chinese equities remained the major dragger, as the CSI 300 tumbled by 6.7% during the month, taking the highest toll on real estate companies after the government ordered more measures to cool property prices. Among other major Emerging Markets, KOSPI of Korea, Bovespa of Brazil and BSE Sensex 30 of India fell by 1.1%, 1.9%, and 0.3% respectively during the month. China's PMI for the manufacturing sector rose to 50.9 in March '13, from 50.1 in the preceding month but missed the market expectations of 51.2. Similarly, South Korea's economy expanded last quarter at the slowest pace since 2009, rising by 1.5% from a year ago. The government reduced its 2013 growth outlook from 3.0% to 2.3%. On the other hand, India's central bank cut the policy rate second time during the year from 7.75% to 7.50% to revive investment and bolster the weakest economic growth in a decade, while at the same time highlighted that the scope for further monetary easing remained limited.

Commodities Deutsche Bank Commodity Index inched up by 0.7% during March '13, taking the cumulative gains for the 9MFY13 to 6.6%. The index rebounded during the month after witnessing a steep decline of 4.4% during the preceding month as signs of US economic recovery bolstered the outlook for demand and drove rallies in crude oil, cotton, and gold. WTI surged by a massive 5.2% during the month, while cotton and gold increased by 2.5% and 1.3% respectively. On the other hand, the impact of gains from these commodities were neutralized by decline in prices of Aluminum, Soybeans, and Silver which posted monthly decline of 4.7%, 4.4% and 1.8% respectively. According to the data released by Energy Information Administration, the oil demand in the US, the biggest crude-consuming country, increased by the most since December during March '13. Crude Oil also gained as OPEC crude production slipped to a 16-month low during the month as output from Nigeria dropped to the least in more than three years. Output in the 12-member Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") declined by 70,000 barrels, to an average of 30.55 million barrels a day in March '13 from 30.62 million in February '13.

Lakson Outlook - March 2013

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 ("LMMF") yielded an annualized return of 7.67% in March '13 compared to the Benchmark (average return of all money market funds) return of 8.02% p.a. The LMMF underperformed the average money market fund by 35bps. The LMMF continues to provide liability related to the Workers Welfare Fund ("WWF") that has a negative impact of approximately 17bps in monthly annualized performance. The yield since inception (13th November 2009) of the LMMF stood at 10.78% p.a. compared to a 10.87% p.a. return for the average money market fund. During the month, the LMMF increased exposure in TDRs to 36% as the banks offered better rates on TDRs due to quarter end. As of March 31, 2013, the Weighted Average Maturity ("WAM") of the LMMF portfolio was 39 days compared to 46 days at the start of the month. The WAM of the LMMF declined as the exposure in short term TDRs was increased. The portfolio of the LMMF still offers very high liquidity and as on March 31, 2013, 64% portfolio of the LMMF comprised of instruments that can be liquidated within six (6) business days keeping in view the present market situation. The Standard Deviation, a measure of the volatility of the fund's performance, of monthly returns of the LMMF since inception is just 1.52%. WWF Disclosure As of March 31, 2013 the LMMF has maintained provisions against Workers' Welfare Fund's liability to the tune of PKR 34.84 million. If the same were not made the NAV per unit of the LMMF would be higher by PKR 0.4042. If the LMMF would not have made the WWF provisions during FY13, the year to date annualized return of the LMMF for FY13 would be higher by 0.17%. For details investors are advised to read the Note 9.1 of the latest Financial Statements (Half Yearly Report as of December 31, 2012) of the LMMF.

Lakson Outlook - March 2013

Lakson Income Fund

MUFAP’s Recommended Format

Investment Objective The investment objective of the Lakson Income Fund is to provide competitive total return through investment in a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities. Investments will be made in a variegated mix of short term, medium term and longer term maturities depending on the assessment by the Investment Team of interest rate trends and prospective returns. Performance Review The Lakson Income Fund ("LIF") provided an annualized yield of 8.12% for the month of March '13, compared to the Benchmark return (average return of all income funds) of 8.77%. The LIF underperformed the average income fund by 65bps. The yield since inception (13th November 2009) of the LIF stands at an annualized rate of 11.04%, compared to the Benchmark return of 8.16% p.a. During the month the LIF increased exposure in TDRs to 15% as the banks offered better rates on TDRs due to quarter end. As of March 31, 2013, the WAM of the LIF portfolio was 437 days compared to 467 days at the start of the month. The WAM declined during the month as the exposure in shorter tenure instruments was increased. As of March 31, 2013, 50% of the portfolio of the LIF comprised of liquid instruments that can be liquidated within six (6) business days keeping in view the prevailing market conditions. In a situation where the income funds are providing very volatile returns, the standard deviation of annualized monthly returns of the LIF is only 1.87% compared to 4.81% for the Benchmark.

WWF Disclosure As of March 31, 2013 the LIF has maintained provisions against Workers' Welfare Fund's liability to the tune of PKR 7.76 million. If the same were not made the NAV per unit of the LIF would be higher by PKR 0.4074. If the LIF would not have made the WWF provisions during FY13, the year to date annualized return of the LIF for FY13 would be higher by 0.17%. For details investors are advised to read the Note 10.1 of the latest Financial Statements (Hal Yearly Report as of December 31, 2012) of the LIF.
