Lakson Outlook - July 2016

Economic & Markets Review - Pakistan Economy July 2016 ended with SBP keeping its policy rate unchanged at 5.75% - in line with broader consensus, backed by rise in inflationary expectation (4.5% - 5.5% YoY in FY17). CPI inflation clocked in at 4.1% YoY in July'16, which is high compared to 3.2% in Jun'16. On a monthon-month basis, it was up 1.34% in July as compared to an increase of 0.63% during June 2016. Food inflation picked up by 3.92% YoY in July compared to an incline of 1.24% YoY last month. The rebound in inflation is expected to be contained in the coming months, with Ramadan/Eid effect normalizing and the government not letting local petrol prices slip. Other macro indicators also continued to post a decline in May'16, where Large-scale manufacturing (LSM) fell by 1.5% YoY in May 2016, thereby dragging 11MFY16 growth to 3.5% YoY. Private sector credit off-take continues to accelerate (up 12.9% YoY in June 2016 vs. 8.0% YoY in June 2015) with impetus from Construction (+48% YoY), Chemicals (+29% YoY) and Transport & Communication sector (+24% YoY). On the fiscal front, fiscal deficitto-GDP narrowed to 4.3% in FY16 - in line with IMF target. Net FDI flows during FY16 clocked in at USD 1.28bn, up 39% YoY, with last minute push from 3G auction in June 2016 (USD 138.5 mn booked). Breakup includes inflow of USD 2.1 bn and outflow of USD 0.8 bn. Current account balance posted a USD 61 million deficit in Jun 2016 against USD 808 million deficit in May 2016. Pakistan's current account deficit (CAD) remained flat YoY at USD 2.53 bn in FY16, despite aid from lower oil prices. The deficit closed the year at 0.9% of GDP as opposed to 1.0% in FY15- in line with IMF expectation. Fixed Income Review GoP raised PKR 630 billion through two T-Bill auctions during July'16, led by participation in 6M T-Bills followed by participation in 12M T-bills. Cut-off yields dropped by around 9bps, on average, during the month to 5.81%, 5.84% and 5.91% for 3M, 6M and 12M tenor government securities, respectively. In the PIB auction held on July 13th, the SBP raised PKR 222.6 billion, led by participation in 3yr tenor paper. Cut-off yields came off by around 20bps to 6.21%, 6.70% and 7.80% for 3 year, 5 year and 10year, respectively. Major participation was observed in 3 year PIBs (PKR 154.3 billion), followed by in 5 year (PKR 136.6 billion) and 10 year (PKR 103.9 billion) PIBs; however, there was no participation in 20 year tenor paper. Equities Markets Review In July, the market continued to rally on Pakistan's inclusion in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index as foreigners turned net buyers. The benchmark KSE 30 closed at 22,743 points, up 5.03% for the month. With experts projecting fresh foreign investment between USD 300 million to USD 800 million over the next year, market participants have braced themselves for a frenzy of activity last seen in Qatar and the UAE which were upgraded to Emerging Market status in 2013. Both markets rallied 40+% in the year after the announcement and hopes are strong that the PSX could see a similar re-rating in its multiples. Utilities (+13.5%) led the market on an anticipated gas price increase in H1FY17. Personal goods (+12.0%) was the next best performing sector as investors looked to benefit from attractive dividend yields. The cements sector gained 11.3% as LUCK and DGKC - stocks that are to be expected to be included in the MSCI index - rallied. The heavyweight banking sector gained 6.2% as HBL saw significant foreign interest and UBL delivered a positive earnings surprise for H1CY16. Foods (-10.9%) was the worst performing sector as investors looked to book gains following the announcement of the EFOODS acquisition. Average traded value rose 1% to reach USD 66.3 million per day. However, average volumes went down from 87 million shares per day in June to 76 million shares per day in July - a decline of 13%. Foreign investors (USD 23.2 million) were net buyers in the month along with mutual funds (USD 55.6 million) and NBFCs (USD 10.1 million). Individuals (USD -46.7 million) and Banks (USD -38.3 million) were net sellers. KSE 30's trailing 12 months (TTM) PE ratio has increased to 11.1x, however, it is still trading at a substantial discount to regional markets such as China's Shanghai Composite Index which is trading at 16.5x and India's Sensex Index which is trading at 20.6x.

Lakson Outlook - July 2016

Economic & Markets Review - International Developed Markets Review: With a performance of +3.3% MoM in July 2016, the developing markets index pared losses from the preceding month return of -1.3%MoM. However, developing market index continued to underperform the emerging markets for the two consecutive months. The Dow Jones and the S&P 500 gained 2.9% MoM and 3.4% MoM respectively in July 2016. The FTSE 100 gained 3.1% MoM owing to appointment of a new Prime Minister, removing concerns of political uncertainty buoying investors' sentiments. Expectations of a cut in interest rate by Bank of England further added to the FTSE 100 rally. Emerging Markets Review: The MSCI EM index continued its upward trajectory in July 2016, posting a gain of 4.7% MoM compared to 3.3% MoM in the preceding month. Cumulatively, 7MCY16 return of the emerging markets index now stands at 10.0% MoM compared to -5.7% MoM in the same period last year. The notable gain in July 2016 can primarily be attributed to i) upbeat macro performance of China and ii) status quo in US interest rates. Major gain was witnessed in first half of Jul'16 (MASI EM: up 4%) where Chinese PMI index climbed to 52.7 in Jun 2016 compared to 51.2 in May 2016, marking the fastest increase in eleven months. The Fed's decision to delay the interest rate hike until December further improved the sentiment. Recovery in iron ore and steel prices during later part of July 2016 provided impetus to Brazilian stock market. As per official survey, manufacturing activity in July 2016 is expected to shrink in China which coupled with 16% MoM decline in oil prices may likely dampen the near term sentiment in emerging markets. Commodity market review: During July 2016, oil prices resumed the downtrend, marking a decline of 16% MoM on both sides of the Atlantic to $40.9/bbl (Nymex) and $40.5/bbl (Brent). Mounting inventory of both crude and gasoline in the U.S. contributed significantly to the decline in oil prices. In the Middle East, cut in oil prices by Saudi Aramco by $1.0-1.1/bbl to its Asian suppliers amid increasing competition from Russia and Iraq further dampened the sentiment. In medium to long term expected output additions in Libya will further add to the oil supplies across the globe. Post summer season weakness in demand may keep the sentiment negative in oil market. Coal prices increased by 12% in July 2016 primarily due to an increase in Chinese imports as a result of declining domestic production, more coal-fired generation in India and new coal-fired plants being built in South Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam.

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 During July 2016 the LIF generated an annualized return of 5.66% against the benchmark return of 6.92%. The LIF underpeformed the benchmark by 1.26%. Over CY16TD the LIF has generated a return of 7.32% and outperformed the average income fund by 0.43%. Asset allocation remained similar to last month as the Fund chose to maintain a heavy cash position in light of the uncertainty over the July MPS in which the SBP decided to maintain the interet rate. Going forward the Fund will concentrate on building exposure to high quality corporate debt and the bond market if a significant yield reversal materializes. WWF Disclosure As of July 31st, 2016 the LIF has maintained provisions against Workers' Welfare Fund's liability to the tune of PKR 11.8 million. If the same were not made the NAV per unit of the LIF would be higher by PKR 0.29. If the LIF would not have made the WWF provisions during FY17, the year to date annualized return of the LIF for FY17 would be higher by 0.00%.

Lakson Outlook - July 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 Over July the LEF generated a return of 5.69% and outperformed the KSE 30 benchmark by 66 bps. The fund received inflows towards the end of the month, which diluted overall exposure to 88% from last month's level of 91%. During the month, the fund realized gains in fairly valued stocks and trimmed exposure in Chemicals and Electricity. Allocation to Construction & Materials was increased as concerns over margin sustainability faded after a recent price hike. Going forward, the SBP's decision to maintain interest rates could drive interest in Banks and lead to profit taking on dividend plays. While earnings season will set the tone for Q1FY17, the LEF will maintain exposure in sectors set to benefit from the MSCI upgrade and CPEC flows. WWF Disclosure As of July 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 0.77. If the LEF would not have made the WWF provisions during FY17, the year to date return of the LEF for FY17 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.
