Chartered Accountants 6-Month KIBOR Muhammad Ali Bhabha, CFA, FRM Growth Unit: Rs. 1,000/Income Unit: Rs. 100,000/AM2++ by PACRA (High Investment Management Standards) To minimize risk, preserve capital and generate a reasonable return along with a high degree of liquidity from a portfolio primarily constituted of bank deposits and money market instruments. The Fund earned an annualized return of 5.2% during the month versus the Benchmark return of 6.1% thus registering an underperformance of 0.9% p.a. Since its launch in November 2009, the Fund offered an annualized return of 9.0% against the Benchmark return of 7.0%, hence an outperformance of 2.0% p.a. This outperformance is net of management fee and all other expenses. The Fund is allowed to invest in Government Securities up to a maximum maturity of 3 years and also in debt securities with rating of A and above with a maximum remaining maturity of 1 year. The Fund invests 25% of its net assets in less than 90 days T-Bills or saving accounts with banks, which further enhances liquidity profile of the Fund. The portfolio of NSPF is invested in Treasury bills, MTS, and bank deposits etc. The allocation in MTS is 9.4% of net assets. The weighted average time to maturity of the entire Fund is around 18 days. Our internal guidelines permit MTS financing in only fundamentally strong companies with lower volatility. It is pertinent to mention that in this asset class the Fund provides financing at only pre-determined rates of return with no direct exposure to the stock market. We will rebalance the allocation of the portfolio proactively based on the capital market outlook. ** effective from September 01, 2016; Previously Average 6-Month deposit rate (A & above rated banks) *** effective from January 02, 2017 Asset Allocation (% of Total Assets) T-Bills Margin Trading System (MTS) Placements with Banks Bank Deposits Others including receivables Total Leverage 31-Mar-17 28-Feb-17 6.7% 9.0% 18.9% 64.6% 0.8% 100.0% Nil 6.4% 28.3% 17.0% 47.4% 0.9% 100.0% Nil Sindh Workers' Welfare Fund (SWWF) The scheme has maintained provisions against Sindh Workers' Welfare Fund's liability to the tune of Rs. 854,765/-.
