Fund Manager’s Report - February 2015

Economic Snapshot

Key Economic Indicators

Equity Market Review

Money Market ReviewMacroeconomic indicators continued to improve during the month. Key improvements witnessed were 1) Lower CPI in�ation 2) improvement in BoP situation 3) smooth progress in IMF review for Sixth tranche of loan.

CPI in�ation for the month clocked in at 3.24% YoY as compared to 3.88% in the month of January. CPI for the 8MFY15 averaged to 5.45% against 8.65% in the same period last year. On MoM basis CPI dropped by 0.9%, mainly attributable to lower food in�ation (down 2% MoM) and transportation head (down 3% MoM).

Country’s C/A posted a minor de�cit of USD 95mn in Jan-15 as compared to a surplus of USD 226mn during Dec-14. The key factor for the de�cit was drop in workers’ remittances in January. However on a positive side, trade de�cit declined by 13% during the month. Trade de�cit fell below USD 1bn in Jan-15 for the �rst time since Mar-12. Persistent decline in oil import bill played a key role in curtailing trade de�cit. For 7MFY15, C/A de�cit clocked in at USD 2.3bn as compared to USD 2.5bn during the same period last year. Increase in worker’s remittances and higher CSF payments were more than o�set by higher trade de�cit and interest payments. As per news reports, Pakistan has received USD 716mn under CSF payments which is likely to push C/A balance back into surplus in Feb-15. Overall balance of payments registered a surplus of USD 127mn in January against a de�cit of 1.38bn in December 2014, while on the �ip side BoP registered a de�cit of USD 358mn for the period 7MFY15 against a surplus of USD 2.2bn in the corresponding period last year.

Foreign exchange reserves of the country have increased by 5% during the month and reached to the level of USD 15.9bn against USD 15.16bn in the previous month. In�ows worth USD 716mn were the main reason behind the rising reserves. Expected in�ows from IMF and privatization of SOEs will further improve the reserves of the country. We expect key macros to show further improvement on the back of lower oil import bill, higher foreign in�ows (IMF & Privatization proceeds) and lower DR (owing to subdued CPI). Furthermore, lower DR will also spur the economic growth of the country.

SBP conducted two t-bill auctions during the month. Target for the �rst auction held on February 06, 2015 was PKR 150bn, against which the SBP generated PKR 105bn. Cut o�yields for 3 month, 6 month and 1 year were 8.4259%, 8.4681% and 8.3883% respectively. Target for the second auction held on February 19, was PKR 50bn, against which the government raised 73bn. Cut o� yields for 3 month and 6 month and 1 year were 8.3707%, 8.3780% and 8.2947 respectively. SBP also conducted PIB auction on February 26th, in which the government borrowed PKR 66bn against the target of PKR 15bn. Cut o� yield set for 3yr, 5yr and 10yr PIBs were 8.4980%, 9.1418% and 9.8003% respectively.

The benchmark index shed 2.36% during the month of February after earning outstanding return of 7.2% in the previous month. The index dropped despite improving macros (Lower CPI, Improving CAD and satisfactory progress of IMF reviews) and at a time when most of the frontier and regional markets showed strong performance. The negative performance of the index can be attributed to sector speci�c news and foreign selling (including one of selling of 776mn shares of KEL, sold by its sponsors).KSE-100 index yielded FYTD return of 13% and CYTD return of 4.7%. The trading volumes dropped by 23% during the month. Foreign out�ows of the month stood at USD 62.5mn, absorbed by local Mutual funds (net buying of USD 41.4mn) and companies (net buying of USD 14.4mn), where as bank were net sellers of USD 17.93mn during the month.Sector speci�c news that which dragged the index down were resurfacing of DGKC’s expansion plans, rising the concerns regarding margins and earnings of the sector, Banks’ spread has shrank to 5.8% during 7MFY15, as compared to 6.2% in the same period last year. Benign CPI numbers have spurred the concerns regarding further DR cut.Sector wise performance shows that Financial sector (+2.3%), Electricity (+1.8%), Automobiles (+1.7% on better volumes) and oil & Gas (-0.1% on stable prices ) sector outperformed the Index whereas Fixed line telecom (-10.1% on uncertainty if ICH), banks (-4.8% on shrinking spread), cements (-4.4% on expansion projects) and food producers (-2.9% on new regarding increase in import duty on powdered milk) underperformed the market.Outlook: Result season has almost ended, but equity market can get its triggers from expected foreign in�ows from IMF, privatization of HBL and any news regarding rebounding oil prices. Following a cut of 100bps in DR in January, another 50-100bps cut can be expected in the remaining two monetary policies of this �scal year, which will bode well for the growth of economy and pro�tability of corporate sector.

As anticipated in our previous commentary, the market corrected itself and is now treading in a consolidation phase. While market appears to have peaked on an absolute basis it is trading at a discount compared to valuations witnessed in 2008. The continued low in�ation �gures and declining interest rates also support further upside in market valuations. However, this does not ensure further gains as the increased volatility requires increased focus on value and growth investments

Angst over valuations is exacerbated by the fall in commodity prices and what it suggests about global growth. The global economic recovery has been subpar, but the bull market has been spectacular. The problems surrounding the investment of individual investors can be broadly summarized as a combination of various wealth and/or consumption goals, subject to a set of budgets, de�ned in terms of initial wealth and future income, as well as risk budgets such as maximum drawdown limits. It is important to note that the success or failure of the satisfaction of these goals subject to rupee and risk budgets does not critically depend upon the stand-alone performance of a particular fund nor that of a given asset class. It depends instead upon how well the performance on the investor's portfolio dynamically interacts with the risk factors impacting the investor's future goals. Therefore, the key challenge for �nancial advisors is to implement dedicated investment solutions aimed at achieving the risk and return objectives of the investors in changing market scenarios.

On the international front:The crude oil crash is dramatic—but not unprecedented. Falls of similar magnitude in the past had stimulated consumer spending, helping to reinvigorate global economic growth. Soft global demand and a strong U.S. dollar have aided in the downside of price, but supply glut is the root cause of the decline. Saudi Arabia being the largest oil producer is determined to keep pumping oil under new leadership to retain its market share.

However, oil prices posted a return of 25% MoM in February raising the hopes that oil prices may have bottomed out. This has led to increased FIPI in Frontier markets which performed positively in the outgoing month with the exception of Pakistan which witnessed a net out�ow of $62.47 million which includes a sale of stake in KEL by the sponsor and was the only Frontier market providing negative returns.

Cheap energy is a game changer for monetary policy in oil-importing nations, especially in emerging market (EM) economies. It reduces in�ation, giving central banks room to ease rates gently. Low oil prices also reduce the costs of energy and food subsidies, providing �scal relief. The massive wealth transfer is set to boost economies to varying degrees. And it is sure to amplify economic and market divergences in the world. Winners in this climate should be global consumers, oil importers, and the transport and retailing industries.

Key factors to monitor in the shortermThe major factors to monitor in the upcoming month include the in�ation �gure, monetary policy announcement by the SBP, SPO of GoP stake in HBL, upcoming senate elections on March 5, 2015.

PIML Daily Reserve Fund posted an annualized return of 8.26% against the benchmark return of 7.21% for February 2015, outperforming by 104 basis points. Our active management has led the fund to outperform the benchmark consistently since August 2014. Also the fund recorded 9.87% return since inception, outperforming the benchmark return since inception by 155 basis points. Moreover, the fund secured second position amongst its respective category on YTD and MTD basis.

During the month, holding in treasury bills was increased by approximately 2% of net assets. Anticipating a decreasing interest rate scenario we deployed our placements in longer tenors before the interest rate decrease, which has helped the fund enhance its returns. We intend maintain and reposition the portfolio in accordance with the market conditions, while maintaining greater exposure in government securities, seeking opportu-nities to maximize the returns.

The objective of the fund is to generate consistent returns with minimal risk by investing primarily in Government Securities, cash and near cash instru-ments

The Fund generated a return -1.03% compared to its benchmark return of -1.28% for the month of February, outperforming its benchmark for the month by 25 bps. We reduced the exposure in equities from 68.51% of net assets to 60.88% of net assets in the outgoing month in anticipation of increased volatility in the market. The FYTD return of the Fund was 19.70%, outperforming the benchmark return by 878 basis points. We have continued to maintain a high constitution in Cement Sector due to our positive outlook on the macroeconomic progress in the country and improving margins due to lower input costs. We are of the opinion that the recent announcement regarding the expansion by DGKC has been overblown.

The objective of PIML-SMAF, an open-end balanced scheme, is o�ering retail and institutional clients a product that aims to maximize return and minimize risk. For this purpose, a balanced portfolio is created that has an optimal mix of equity, debt securities and commodity.

The scheme has maintained provision against Worker’s Welfare Fund’s liability to the tune of Rs. 600,243 if the same were not made the NAV per unit/year to date (YTD) return of the scheme would be higher by Rs. 0.4393 / 0.18% enhancing the YTD return to 19.70% p.a”
