Lakson Outlook - February 2016

Economic & Markets Review - Pakistan Yield Curve

Economy As expected, CPI inflation clocked in at 4.0% YoY in February 2016, up from 3.3% in the previous month due to the low base effect. On a month-on-month basis, however, inflation declined 0.25% in February as compared to an increase of 0.21% during January. Food inflation declined 2.0% compared to an increase of 0.5% last month. The rebound in inflation is expected to be contained in the coming months as the government recently slashed petrol prices, which will have a direct and indirect deflationary impact on prices.

12.0%

Pakistan's current account deficit (CAD) shrank by 23% YoY in the period July 2015 - January 2016 to USD 2.0 billion from USD 2.6 billion in the corresponding period of the previous year. The deficit is now 1.2% of GDP as opposed to 1.7% in 7M2015. The reduction in the deficit can largely be attributed to a 6% YoY growth in remittances and an 8% YoY decline in the import of goods and services. On a month-on-month basis, however, the current account deficit went up 39% as the secondary income balance declined.

In the PIB auction held in February, 3, 5, 10, and 20-year bonds were offered for sale. The cut-off yield on PIBs declined up to 60 basis points. A total of PKR 241.8 billion was received for 3, 5 and 10-year PIBs against the target of PKR 50 billion. The market is expecting a rate cut in the upcoming MPS after the government slashed petrol and CNG prices at the start of March, however upcoming debt repayments of approximately $5.0 billion during 2016 which could create pressure in FX markets could keep the SBP cautious. Equities Markets Review In February, the KSE 30 made up slightly for the massive loss in the previous month and closed at 18,383 points - up 1.12% as heavyweight sectors Banks and Oil & Gas recovered after a dismal run during the current fiscal year. The SBP's decision to maintain the policy rate helped to rally the banking sector. The Oil & Gas sector was up as POL posted above expected results and international oil prices found stability on the back of negotiations between OPEC and other major oil producers. However, overall, earnings season failed to create a much needed positive momentum in the market as rumors of regulatory investigations on leading business groups and foreign selling kept investors on the sidelines. The banking sector was the best performing sector with a return of 4.7% as fears of a further reduction in banking spreads were allayed after the SBP maintained the policy rate. Power Generation was the next best performer and was up 2.2% on the back of KAPCO which posted an above expected result and HUBC's safe heaven appeal as a low beta option in a volatile market. Chemicals were up led by FFBL and ENGRO as urea prices recovered. Oil & Gas sector gained 0.8% led by POL, which was up 17% on above expected result. All other stocks in the sector had negative returns. The major sectors that underperformed include Foods (down 10.1%), Pharma (down 2.6%) and Cements (down 0.04%). Foreigners continued to offload their positions (-$39 million). Mutual Funds (-$13.9 million) and brokers (-$7.0) were also major sellers. Individuals (+$29.4 million), Companies (+$17.9 million) and NBFC (+$10.6 million) were major buyers. Average volumes remained unchanged from last month at 60 million shares per day. Average traded value, however, went up 20% to $57.7 million.

Outstanding advances worth PKR 3.15 trillion were extended to the private-sector in the 7 months of the current fiscal year - an increase of 10.0% YoY. Advances for machinery import saw the largest increase (up 79%), followed by fixed assets (up 25%) and securities shares and other financial instruments (up 21.7%). Fixed Income Review In the first T-bill auction held a few days after the MPS, cut-off yields saw a rising trend. The cut-off yields for 3M, 6M and 12M T-bills rose by 9 bps to 6.2591%, 8 bps to 6.2665% and 4 bps to 6.2758% respectively. The SBP accepted bids worth PKR 330 billion against a target of PKR 350 billion. In the second T-bill auction, the cut off yield on 3M, 6M and 12M T-bills declined to 6.2144%, 6.2239% and 6.2419% respectively. A total of PKR 186.5 billion was raised from this auction against a target of PKR 250 billion and total bids received PKR 467.2 billion. The most interest was shown in 12-month papers as market participants increased bets on another round of monetary easing during 2HFY16.

Lakson Outlook - February 2016

Economic & Markets Review - International Developed Markets Review Developed markets started off February on a bad note as weak US economic data increased worries of a global slowdown. Consumer confidence in the U.S. went down from 92.0 in January to 91.7 in February and the housing market also showed signs of a slowdown. However, markets picked up momentum in the latter half of February as unemployment data improved which led investors to take bets on a more moderate reversal in monetary easing. Moreover, speculation was rife that the Chinese government will take steps to add stimulus. The S&P 500 declined 0.4% to close at 1,932 points and the Nasdaq closed 1.2% down at 4,558 points. Dow Jones, however, inched up 0.3% to close at 16,516 points. The Bank of Japan (BOJ) adopted a negative interest-rate strategy in January in order to push banks to lend aggressively amid a recession. However, fears are high that corporate earnings may dip as Japanese exports take the brunt of recent Yen appreciation. The Nikkei Index was down a staggering 8.0% in February. The Bank of England left the benchmark unchanged at a record-low 0.5% citing the decline in oil prices to be the major reason for status quo along with the recent rout in global equities. Also, uncertainty remains high over Britain's vote on its EU membership. The FTSE 100 gained only 0.2% in the month. Emerging Markets Review China's Shanghai Index declined 1.81% in the month with the index going down more than 4% on the second last day of the month. The measure has the worst performance among 93 global equity indexes as it has declined 24 percent this year. Investors were expecting the government to come up with measures to give a boost to the economy. However, the People's Bank of China indicated that there is no room for more stimulus. The index was down over concern capital outflows will quicken as the economy slows down. India's central bank kept the discount rate unchanged at 6.75% quoting heightened inflation risk and a slowdown in growth. The decision was in line with market expectation. India's Senses Index went down a staggering 7.5% in the month. Commodities Review Gold had the best month on record on the back of its safe haven status. The yellow metal was up 10.8% as worries over the global economic slowdown pushed investors to the yellow metal. Gold was also supported by the Federal Reserve's decision to hold interest rates, which prompted the dollar to decline. Gold rises when dollar declines. Oil saw a brief lift-off after Saudia and Russia decided to freeze output. The market however reacted negatively later as Iran rebuffed the said deal. WTI and Brent reacted in opposite ways with the WTI down 4.3% and Brent up 3.5%. This is the second month in a row in the recent past where there was such a huge difference in the trading of these two types of oil. Coal on the other hand gained 2.3% on expectation of higher demand. Also, encouraging news from China at the end of January that demand from its power generation sector may improve due to cold waves affecting the northern parts of the country, helped in boosting prices.

Lakson Outlook - February 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 During February, LEF lost 1.79% versus the benchmark return of +1.12%. However on a fiscal year to date basis the Fund outperformed the KSE30 Index by 9.33% by remaining underweight in the Banking and Oil sector. Overall exposure was trimmed from 85% to 83% as gains were realized across the board. Allocation to Oil & Gas and Electricity was increased as a rally in international oil prices improved the outlook for these sectors. Going forward, expectations of a rate cut in the March MPS and excitement over Pakistan's re-inclusion into the MSCI Emerging Markets Index will drive the market provided foreign investors do not continue to aggressively shed their holdings. WWF Disclosure As of February 29th, 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 0.71. 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.
