Economic & Markets Review - Pakistan Yield Curve

Economic Review

The new Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) set up by the State Bank of Pakistan kept the discount rate at 6.5% which surprised market participants who had taken bets on a rate cut in the wake of another sharp dip in oil prices and PKR stability. This decision was in-line with the IMF's suggestion of a cautionary forward looking monetary policy and was indicative of the SBP's hesitance to further reduce rates on the back of unpredictable movements in commodity prices. The IMF's 10th review of the Pakistani economy concluded with the approval of another $497 million tranche despite the government's inability to meet all the pre-requisites. As a result FX reserves are expected to maintain their level above $20 billion for the time being. Inflation went up to 3.3% for January 16 YoY compared to 3.2% for December 15 while on a MoM basis the Consumer Price Index increased by 0.2%. Core inflation measured by NFNE (Non-food non-energy) increased to 4.3% and Core trimmed (weighted trimmed mean CPI) increased to 3.0%. On the other hand a persistent decline in the prices of perishable food items and commodities is expected to contain the bounce back in inflation during 2HFY16.

12.0% 11.0% 10.0% 9.0% 8.0% 7.0% 6.0% 1W

The Government's efforts to implement energy reform and improve the power deficit could be seen in the financial close of the 1,320 MW Coal power plant in Port Qasim, ECC approval for PSO's $16 bn LNG deal with Qatar and progress on the $2.5 bn North - South gas pipeline on which work is expected to begin in July. Macroeconomic indicators continued to improve as the Current Account deficit for 1HFY16 contracted by 48.5% while Worker Remittances climbed to $9.73 billion. The World Bank projects GDP growth in 2016 at 5.5% which is reflective of the confidence that creditors are placing in the medium term outlook for Pakistan. Despite the strength in FX reserves and a sharply lower external deficit, there are headwinds during 2016 which could increase volatility in the PKR and lead to monetary tightening. These headwinds are in the form of debt repayments totaling $5.2 billion during CY16 which in the absence of further inflows from borrowing and FDI could put a serious dent in the painstakingly built up FX reserves. Fixed Income The State Bank of Pakistan decided to maintain status quo in its monetary policy statement in January on the back of rising inflation despite falling commodity prices. CPI is expected to inch up and reach an approximate level of 5% in the current fiscal year as the impact of favorable base starts to fade away. Market participants were largely expecting a cut in the discount rate as is evident by the decline in the tbills and PIB yields. In the first t-bills auction of the month, the government raised a total of PKR 235 billion against a face value of PKR 242.9 billion. 3-month and 6-month tenors fetched the highest amount from investors at a cut-off yield of 6.3038% and 6.3092% respectively. In the second t-bill auction of the month, cut-off yields of 3-month and 6-month t-bills dropped to 6.1697% and 6.1812% indicating that investors perceived a cut in the discount rate as the MPS date approached. A total of PKR 292 billion was raised in this auction against a face value of PKR 304 billion with almost PKR 165 billion being raised from 12-month t-bills alone. Only one PIB auction was held in January with a total of PKR 131 billion being raised against a face value of PKR 121 billion. 3-year and 5-year bonds received the highest bids worth PKR 71 billion and PKR 60 billion respectively. Cut off yields dropped between 25 - 52 bps over the previous auction as market participants looked to capitalize on a potential cut in the discount rate. Equities Markets Review January is typically a month of positive returns for Pakistan's equity market. This year, however, the index was affected by the global rout in equities and the subsequent capital outflows. The KSE 30 also suffered blows from market participants who expected that the State Bank of Pakistan will continue with its monetary easing stance and cut the discount rate in the monetary policy announcement due on the last day of January. The index closed at 18,179 points - down 5.72% in the month. Household goods was the best performing sector with PAEL up 6% in January. Pharmaceuticals was up 4.6% followed by Cements which was up 3.5%. Cements gained investors' interest due to rising sales, expectation of a cut in the discount rate which would favor the leveraged sector and expectation of an increase in earnings. Automobiles gained 3.24% led by HCAR's above expected corporate earnings. Support Services was the worst performing sector, down 23% in the month as investors realized gains. Banks was the worst hit among major sectors and was down almost 11% as major selling was seen in the sector to combat the effect of a possibility of a decrease in spreads. Index heavyweight HBL was the worst performer with a decline of 14.5%. Oil & Gas was down almost 7% in the month as Iran is expected to add to the global glut in oil after the uplifting of sanctions. Foreigners continued to offload their positions (-$49 million). Mutual Funds (-$17.8 million), brokers ($13.6) and Individuals (-$9 million) were also major sellers whereas Banks (+$31 million), NBFC (+$25 million) and Companies (+$24 million) were major buyers. Average volumes went up from 57.5 million shares per day in December to 59.9 million shares per day - an increase 4% month-on-month. Average traded value, however, remained unchanged t at around $48 million per day in January. The KSE 30 continues to trade at a discount to regional indices. The trailing-twelve-month (TTM) PE ratio of the KSE 30 has gone down from 9.34x in December to 8.99x in January as the market lost more than 5% in value. India's Sensex Index has a TTM PE ratio of 18.57x whereas China's Shanghai Composite Index has a TTM PE ratio of 14.4x.

Lakson Outlook - January 2016

Economic & Markets Review - International Developed Markets Review The S&P 500 had its worst month since January 2009 and declined 5% in the month as the effects of the monetary policy tightening were felt. The decline was pared on the last day of the month when the index advanced 2.5% after an above expected result from Microsoft Corporation. The Dow was also down more than 5% in the month despite gaining 2.5% on the last day of the month. The Nasdaq composite declined a massive 8% in the month - its worst month in more than 4 years. Besides above expected result from Microsoft, monetary stimulus from the Bank of Japan and strong manufacturing data from Chicago also had significant impact on U.S. equities. The Federal Reserve decided to keep its policy rate unchanged as it closely monitors developments in China, Europe and oil markets. The Bank of Japan (BOJ) adopted a negative interest-rate strategy in order to push banks to lend aggressively amid a slowdown in the country's economy. The Nikkei Index was down a staggering 8% in the month, with equities paring losses on the last day of the month after the announcement of the new monetary policy by BOJ.

The European Central Bank (ECB) kept its main refinancing rate unchanged at 0.05%. Spain's CAC 40 was down almost 5% in the month whereas the German DAX slipped almost 9%. The FTSE100 in comparison had a better start to the year with the index down 2.5% in the month. Emerging Markets Review China's stocks on the last day of the month climbed 2.2% amid speculation that the global sell-offs in the month were exaggerated and the worst was over for the equity market after the People's Bank of China added liquidity into the financial system. The index lost almost 23% in January - the worst month since the beginning of the financial crisis in 2008. Russia's market gained strength and closed up 1.3% after the U.S. Federal Reserve decided to maintain its policy rate. Like many other markets, India's Sensex 30 also had a rough month and lost 5% due to persistent foreign selling. The last week of the month helped give a boost to the index with Power, Healthcare, Auto and IT leading gains.

Valuations of International Markets 20

16

Commodities Review Gold had the best month in almost a year as the metal rallied due to its safe haven nature. January was roiled by turmoil across global financial markets and plunging oil prices. Moreover, U.S. investors took interest in safe haven gold as indications of enervating economic growth in the U.S. became visible. Gold was up more than 5% in the month.

12

Oil had a tumultuous month with the commodity down initially in response to the lift-off of sanctions after which Iran is expected to pour to add to an already oversupplied market. WTI oil suffered the most and was down almost 12% whereas Brent was down almost 7%. This is the first month in the recent past where there was such a huge difference in the trading of these two types of oil.

4

Coal on the other hand gained 2.5% as a rebound in oil prices provided some comfort to the commodity in the short-run. Also, encouraging news from China 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 - January 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 started the New Year on a high note, generating a MTD return of -3.74% vs. -15.73% of the benchmark. The whopping outperformance was due to the timely realization of gains in key sectors. The fund reduced overall exposure to 85% from previous month by 3%, trimming down exposures across the board. With the advent of result announcements, short term upward movement in key sectors allowed the exit. In light of the upcoming MPS, an above par daily accrual rate was negotiated, where cash was parked at a premium to the secondary T-Bill yields. WWF Disclosure As of January 31st, 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.

Lakson Outlook - January 2016

Lakson Asset Allocation Global Commodities Fund

MUFAP’s Recommended Format

Investment Objective The investment objective of the Lakson Asset Allocation Global Commodities Fund is to provide longterm capital appreciation by investing in a mix of domestic debt and commodities. Performance Review During the month of January 2016 the Lakson Asset Allocation Global Commodities Fund generated an absolute return of 0.77% against the benchmark return of -0.07%.
