Lakson Outlook - May 2013

Economic & Markets Review - Pakistan Economic Review Inflation continued its easing trend and the headline inflation as measured by Consumer Price Index ("CPI") for May '13 clocked in at 5.1% YoY; the lowest level witnessed during the last 9 years and since the rebasing of the index. On a month on month basis the CPI increased by 0.5%, whereby the major contribution came from an increase in prices of Perishable Food Items, which surged by 6.3% MoM. All other major items including "Housing, Electricity & Fuel" and "Non-perishable Food Items" remained muted which resulted in softened monthly inflation. For the 11MFY13, the CPI averaged at 7.5% compared to an average of 11.0% for the 11MFY12; a decline of 344 bps. We expect the CPI to average around 7.5% for the full year FY13. The external account position of Pakistan remained weak as the current account posted a deficit of USD 354 million in April '13. The cumulative current account deficit for the 10MFY13 stood at USD 1,418 million compared to a deficit of USD 3,354 million in the 10MFY12, a decline of 58% YoY. The trade deficit declined by 13.7% YoY in the 10MFY13 to USD 13.16 billion compared to USD 15.25 billion in the 10MFY12. A declined in the trade deficit is mainly due to payments made by US under the Coalition Support Fund. The remittances continued to support the external account in the absence of any significant financial and capital inflows. During the 10MFY13 the remittances stood at USD 11.57 billion compared to USD 10.88 billion in the 10MFY12, a growth of 6.4% YoY. During May '13, the foreign exchange reserves of the country declined by USD 355 million owing to a weak external account position. The foreign exchange reserves were supported to some extent by foreign portfolio inflows of USD 281 million. The total liquid reserves of the country stood at USD 11.46 billion, while the SBP reserves stood at USD 6.40 billion. Despite all the odds, Pak Rupee depreciated by only 0.1% against the green-back during the month and USD/PKR ended the month at 98.55. Fixed Income Market The month of May '13 marked a slight shift in money market dynamics, although its longterm trajectory remained unchanged. The Ministry of Finance raised PKR 521 billion through two T-Bill auctions against a maturity of PKR 431 billion. The market participants regained their enthusiasm for T-Bills as the bid-to-cover ratio for the two auctions came in at 1.30x (0.65x in April) while the 77% of total bids came in the 12-month tenor. The shift to the longer tenor is in stark contrast to the trend seen in April '13 wherein participants had a strong preference for the shorter-end of the yield curve due to expectations of a hike in the discount rate. However, increasing positive real interest rates and a delay in IMF program have changed the market expectations regarding monetary policy. The cutoff yields on TBills came down by 9, 7, and 7 bps respectively for the 3, 6 and 12 month T-Bills. Active participation in the PIB auction was also witnessed in May '13 as the investors placed bids of PKR 98 billion against the auction target of PKR 25 billion and maturity of PKR 3.6 billion. Secondary market yields on the 3Y, 5Y and 10Y bonds fell by 82bps, 85bps and 98bps respectively, resulting in a flattening of the yield curve. The SBP's average weekly injections through open market operations came in at PKR 297 billion; representing a 33% MoM decline as the SBP aims at reducing the size of the liquidity injections. Meanwhile, the 6month KIBOR remained unchanged since April-end at 9.58%, while the 12-month KIBOR declined by 6bps to 9.86%. Equity Market Review May '13 was another record-setting month for the equity market as the KSE-100 Index recorded a 14.96% return. The market celebrated the peaceful transition of power from one democratic government to another democratic government. The investors brushed aside a host of economic indicators which portrayed a bleak picture of the Pakistani economy in the medium-term, and instead pinned their hopes on a reform agenda of the new government. Average daily volumes of the KSE-100 Index scrips rose 85% MoM while average daily traded value increased by 73% MoM, as a broad based activity was seen in the market. The MoM surge in volume/value numbers is also due to a low-base effect of April, wherein investors remained on the sidelines, waiting for clarity on the political front. Foreign investors continued to show interest in the local equity markets as the FIPI net inflow in May '13 came in at USD 271 million compared to USD 98 million in April. However, a significant portion of this inflow was due to Unilever's de-listing. Pakistan was one of the best performing markets in the region as it outperformed the monthly returns of just 5.6% for China and 1.3% for India. As we move into FY14, investors should focus on the fiscal and monetary policies as the economy requires some structural reforms that may not be very market friendly in short to medium term.

Lakson Outlook - May 2013

Economic & Markets Review - International Developed Markets

The MSCI World Index recorded a decline of 0.29% in May '13. Most of the developed market equities continued to gain during the month, with the notable exception of Japan where the market fell sharply in the latter half of the month. In the US, the concern was about how soon the Fed would stop the stimulus. The market reacted negatively to the Fed speeches and the notes, which spoke of an eventual pullback in stimulus and low interest rates. The market, though, moved higher since it was widely felt that the Fed would not act until the economy was stronger. While the US focused on when stimulus would be cut, several countries moved to add or extend stimulus via programs such as France and lower interest rates such as Australia, Europe, and South Korea. US economic data was mixed but started off relatively positive as the US non-farm payrolls report for April surprised on the upside with an increase of 165,000 jobs. The Chicago Purchasing Managers' Index also rose and exceeded expectations. Housing prices and sales continued to improve in US, aided by limited inventories and low mortgage rates. Eurozone equity markets registered gains over the month, although performance was volatile and equities lost steam towards the end of the period. The MSCI Europe Index posted an increase of 1.3% in May '13. Eurozone macroeconomic data remained poor, with figures showing that GDP for the Eurozone contracted by 0.2% in the first quarter of 2013. Even Germany, the Eurozone's economic powerhouse, registered disappointing GDP figures with growth of just 0.1%. The European Central Bank (ECB) cut interest rates to a record low of 0.5% from 0.75% previously. At the end of the month, the European Commission relaxed its focus on austerity measures, agreeing to give some countries more time to reach deficit targets. Emerging Markets The MSCI Emerging Markets Index declined by 2.9% during May '13. A major drag on performance was the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the direction of monetary policy in the US. The Asian emerging markets outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index while the emerging EMEA and emerging Latin American markets underperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. China's manufacturing data for April '13 showed a slowdown in expansion. The country's official Purchasing Managers' Index reading fell to 50.6 for April '13 and concerns remain that further weak data could feed into slower GDP growth for the second quarter. A sub-index of new export orders also fell, signaling continued weak global demand. Chinese trade data for April '13 saw strong import growth but the country's equally robust exports continued to raise questions about the veracity of its export data, especially when set against the weakening numbers for other major Asian exporters. In Brazil some weak corporate earnings results weighed on stocks early in the month. Brazil's commodity-related stocks also slipped following the disappointing industrial production numbers from China. Official data releases showed that the Brazilian economy grew by just 0.6% in the first quarter of 2013. Over the 12 months to the end of March, Latin America's largest economy expanded by 1.9%. This subdued economic activity comes at a time when the central bank is becoming concerned about mounting inflation pressures and it recently moved to increase interest rates by 50 basis points to 8.00%. In India worries resurfaced over its GDP growth, which hit a decade-low of 5% in the year ending March. Further concerns over the weakness of the Indian rupee also contributed to negative sentiment. In terms of policy moves, several central banks cut official interest rates during the month. Turkey's central bank reduced interest rates by 50 basis points to 4.50%. Hungary also reduced interest rates from 4.75% to 4.50%. The central

Commodities

The DBC Commodity Index declined by 1.3% during May '13 as some of the major commodities declined during the month. WTI declined by 1.8% during May '13 due to ample supplies, an announcement from OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) that its output target will remain unchanged at 30 million barrels per day, and news that the 590,000 bpd Keystone pipeline had restarted. Weak economic data also showed that the US consumer spending fell in April '13 for the first time in almost a year, and the Eurozone figures indicated that unemployment in the 17-country bloc reached a new high last month. Gold prices declined by 6% during May '13 and Silver also hit its lowest level since September '10. US data showing low inflation and a six-year high consumer sentiment weighed on the precious metals, with bullion notching sharp losses for the second consecutive month. On the other hand industrial metals gained during the month with the exception of nickel. Lead inventories continued to decline, bringing the shortage to 31% this year; on the other hand, nickel inventories were high and put pressure on the prices. In April '13 copper production in Chile dropped by 1.2% from one year earlier, due to strikes, production line problems and lower ore grades in some deposits. Agricultural commodities witnessed a mixed trend during the month. Corn and Soybeans were up during the month supported by low inventories and increased buying from China. On the other hand wheat, cotton and sugar declined during the month. A slowdown in cotton buying particularly from China caused a decline in its price. The slowdown in buying also contributed to the loss in sugar as Chinese inventories doubled since last season.

Lakson Outlook - May 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 7.84% in May '13 compared to the Benchmark (average return of all money market funds) return of 8.08% p.a. The LMMF underperformed the average money market fund by 25bps. The yield since inception (13th November 2009) of the LMMF stood at 10.64% p.a. compared to a 10.74% 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 tight market liquidity situation and to raise June end crossing deposits to improve their balance sheets. Exposure in T-Bills was reduced to 59% to generate liquidity for placing deposits with banks at higher rates. As of May 31, 2013, the Weighted Average Maturity ("WAM") of the LMMF portfolio was 33 days. The WAM of the LMMF remained unchanged as we remained invested in shorter tenure T-Bills to take advantage of the tight liquidity situation in the market that caused an increase in the yields of shorter tenure T-Bills. The portfolio of the LMMF still offers very high liquidity and as on May 31, 2013, 59% 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 1.60%. WWF Disclosure As of May 31, 2013 the LMMF has maintained provisions against Workers' Welfare Fund's liability to the tune of PKR 37.10 million. If the same were not made the NAV per unit of the LMMF would be higher by PKR 0.4210. 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 0.16%. For details investors are advised to read the Note 9.1 of the latest Financial Statements (Quarterly Report as of March 31, 2013) of the LMMF.

Lakson Outlook - May 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 7.97% for the month of May '13, compared to the Benchmark return (average return of all income funds) of 7.70%. The LIF outperformed the average income fund by 27bps. The yield since inception (13th November 2009) of the LIF stands at an annualized rate of 10.94%, compared to the Benchmark return of 8.17% p.a. During the month the LIF reduced exposure in T-Bills to 43% and took exposure in TDRs and LOPs that offered better yields than the T-Bills of similar maturities. During the month prices of non-traded TFCs remained volatile but despite that the LIF continued to provide a consistent return to its investors. As of May 31, 2013, the WAM of the LIF portfolio was 357 days compared to 366 days at the start of the month. The WAM declined slightly during the month as the exposure in short term TDRs was taken. As of May 31, 2013, 44% 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 1.77% compared to 3.87% for the Benchmark.

WWF Disclosure As of May 31, 2013 the LIF has maintained provisions against Workers' Welfare Fund's liability to the tune of PKR 8.32 million. If the same were not made the NAV per unit of the LIF would be higher by PKR 0.4269. 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 (Quarterly Report as of March 31, 2013) of the LIF.
