ABL FINANCIAL PLANNING FUND REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY

The Board of Directors of ABL Asset Management Company Limited, the management company of ABL Financial Planning Fund (ABL - FPF) is pleased to present the Condensed Interim Financial Statements (un-audited) of ABL Financial Planning Fund for the half year ended December 31, 2016.

ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE REVIEW

Pakistan’s economic indicators remained steady during the period under review as the country marked successful completion of IMF program worth USD6.4bn by meeting majority of lender’s stringent quarterly criteria. Similarly, despite a slight uptrend, average CPI for 1HFY17 is still at a manageable level of 3.88%YoY as compared to 2.09%YoY during same period last year. SBP, keeping the above developments into consideration kept the discount rate unchanged at an all-time low level of 6.25%. Standard and Poor has also acknowledged improved macroeconomic stability of Pakistan economy and upgraded the long-term credit rating from ‘–B’ to ‘B’. Going ahead, with international oil prices expected to remain range bound, the outlook for inflation remains soft with CPI for FY17 expected to stay in the range of 4.5%-4.7 % YoY against a target of 6.0%.

On the flip side, country’s external position continues to remain fragile as Current Account deficit swelled by a massive 92%YoY to USD3,585mn (2.2% of the GDP) during 1HFY17 as compared to USD1,865mn during the same period last year. The sharp increase in CAD was caused by widening trade deficit, where imports increased by 6%YoY to USD21,346mn against contraction in exports by 2%YoY to USD10,527mn.

Exports continued to witness decline due to strengthening of the PKR relative to regional currencies, reducing the competitiveness of Pakistani exporters. Likewise, 2%YoY dip in worker’s remittances and 34%YoY increase in services deficit created further drag on current account balance. Encouragingly, FX reserves closed the year at USD23.16bn (~6 months import cover) driven by multiple cash flows (IMF tranche, USD1bn sukuk bond etc.), resulting PKR to maintain its parity against greenback at PKR104.6/USD.

On the fiscal front, government failed to achieve its target in 1HFY17 despite 5.8%YoY growth in tax collections. FBR provisionally collected taxes worth PKR1,452bn during 6MFY17 compared to PKR1,372bn in SPLY, falling short of the target by PKR142bn. In order to bridge the deficit, the government has been trying to broaden the tax net and increase tax collection by offering tax amnesty schemes. Furthermore, the government is also unlikely to absorb the impact of increasing oil prices by reducing GST on petroleum products.

Going forward, the outlook on economic front appears promising given (1) announcement of PkR180bn export package in an effort to arrest declining exports, (2) uptick in infrastructure spending on realization of the CPEC project which is likely to improve economic activity and (3) continued subsidy on fertilizers would support agricultural growth. That said, increasing oil prices (post the OPEC decision to freeze output levels), weak remittances and declining exports may pose major challenges for the balance of payments.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Equities remained solid during the period under review with the benchmark KSE 100 index sky rocketing by +10,023 points (+27%) during 1HFY17 to close the period at an all-time high level of 47,807 points. This performance was mainly attributed to 1) increased appetite of domestic investors, particularly mutual funds & NBFCs that cumulatively increased investments by USD408mn and 2) improved market sentiments on account of Pakistan’s upgrade to MSCI EM Index. On the other side, foreign investors remained net sellers and offloaded positions worth USD298mn. This hefty foreign selling can be explained by 1) 25 bps hike in US Fed rate causing outflows from capital markets and 2) increased global uncertainty post-election in USA. On a sector specific basis, foreign selling was concentrated in Fertilizer (USD97mn), Cement (USD65mn) and E&Ps (USD64mn). Conversely, foreign interest was evinced in banking scrips which attracted buying worth USD17mn. Furthermore, overall market liquidity improved during the period as average trading volume increased by 64% YoY to 386mn shares in 1HFY17 compared to 235mn shares SPLY. Similarly, average daily value traded was up 42% YoY to USD138mn during the period as compared to USD97mn in 1HFY16. Higher percentage growth in average daily volumes as compared to average daily value traded denotes the investor’s growing appetite for 2nd tier and 3rd tier scrips.

Banking sector was the largest contributor to the index adding 1,551 points to the KSE-100 Index as banks are expected to be the prime beneficiary of EM reclassification. Moreover, attractive valuations and bottoming out of interest rates kept sector in limelight. Other sectors that made a notable contribution to index were Oil & Gas Exploration and Production and Cements, benefitting from 55% jump in Brent crude prices during CY16 and robust sales outlook for cement, respectively. On the flip side, Fertilizer sector made a negative contribution of 199 points as weak farm economics took its toll on fertilizer offtake.

MUTUAL FUND INDUSTRY REVIEW

Total assets under management (AUMs) of open end mutual fund industry posted a massive growth of 29% during 1HFY17 (from PKR 473 billion to PKR 610 billion), mainly on account of substantial flows in equities amid low interest rates. Equity funds including Conventional and Islamic equity witnessed a mammoth growth of 42% and 64% in AUM to close the period at PKR157 billion and PKR110 billion, respectively. On cumulative basis, the fixed income category (comprising of Income, Aggressive Income and Money Market funds) registered a muted growth of 5% in 1HFY17 to close at PKR170 billion in December 2016 compared to PKR162 billion in June 2016. Similarly, launch of new funds under fund of funds category (conventional & Shariah compliant) increased the AUM size by 81% to PKR45billion in December 2016 from PKR25 billion in June 2016.

FUND PERFORMANCE

ABL Financial Planning Fund has two Allocation Plans based on the risk appetite of investors i.e. “Conservative Allocation Plan”, “Active Allocation Plan” & “Strategic Allocation”.

Conservative Allocation Plan

Conservative Allocation Plan primarily aims to provide stable returns with capital appreciation through a pre‐determined mix of investments in equity and income funds.

During the period under review, ABL Financial Planning Fund – Conservative Plan’s AUM stood at Rs. 264.90 million. ABL-FPF Conservative Plan posted an absolute return of 7.60% during the period under review.

Active Allocation Plan

Active Allocation Plan aims to earn a potentially high return through active asset allocation between Equity and Income schemes based on the Fund Manager’s outlook on the asset classes.

ABL Financial Planning Fund – Active Plan’s closed the year with AUM size of Rs. 766.006 million. During the period, Active Allocation Plan posted an absolute return of 19.26% during the period under review.

Strategic Allocation Plan

Strategic Allocation Plan aims to earn a potentially high return through active allocation of funds between Equity and Fixed Income schemes based on fundamental analysis of economic indicators, underlying asset values and a strategy of risk aversion to market volatility.

ABL Financial Planning Fund – Strategic Plan’s closed the year with AUM size of Rs. 929.576 million. During the period, Active Allocation Plan posted an absolute return of 0.125% during the period under review.

AUDITORS

M/s. Deloitte Yousuf Adil (Chartered Accountants), on the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors being eligible for appointment have been appointed as auditors for the year ending June 30, 2017 for ABL Financial Planning Fund (ABL-FPF).

MANAGEMENT QUALITY RATING

On December 30, 2016, JCR-VIS Credit Rating Company Limited has reaffirmed the Management Quality Rating of ABL Asset Management Limited (ABL AMC) at ‘AM Two Plus’ (AM2+). Outlook on the assigned rating is ‘Stable’.

OUTLOOK

Moving ahead, strong domestic appetite, attractive valuations and improving macroeconomic indicators will continue to complement market re-rating theme, setting aside political tensions. Similarly, 40% strategic investment in Pakistan Stock Exchange by Chinese consortium comprising China Financial Futures Exchange Company Limited, Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shenzhen Stock Exchange along with two local financial institutions will 1) enhance the brokers’ proprietary book, 2) raise visibility of PSX in global markets, 3) bring technological improvements and 4) increase market depth through the launch of new products i.e. derivative. Furthermore, official inclusion of Pakistan into the MSCI Emerging Market index by June 2017 would be a key event to look for which will likely prop up foreign inflows from emerging market funds given attractive valuations on offer. The market currently trades at one year forward PE multiple of 9.2x and offers an attractive dividend yield of 5.5%.

On fixed income front we intend to increase duration of the underlying fund by increasing exposure in KIBOR linked TFCs/Sukuks and spread transaction in order to generate stable accrual income for the portfolio. Furthermore, we are also looking to increase exposure in medium term PIBs against excess cash we believe yield curve will adjust downward shortly on account of lower than expected inflation figures for the month of December and owing to heavy bond maturities in 3QFY17. Moreover, placement in LOPs and bank deposits at high rates due to year end will also facilitate returns going ahead.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We thank our valued investors who have placed their confidence in us. The Board is also thankful to Securities & Exchange Commission of Pakistan, the Trustee (MCB Financial Services Limited) and the management of Pakistan Stock Exchange Limited for their continued guidance and support. The Directors also appreciate the efforts put in by the management team.

10. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS 10.1 Provision for Sindh Workers' Welfare Fund (SWWF) Consequent to the 18th amendment to the Constitution, levy for the Workers Welfare Fund (WWF) was introduced

by the Government of Sindh through the Sindh Workers Welfare Fund (SWWF) Act 2014. SWWF Act 2014, enacted on May 21, 2015, requires every Industrial Establishment located in the province of Sindh and having total income of Rs. 500,000 or more in any year of account commencing on or after the date of closing of account on or after December 31, 2013, to pay two percent of so much of its total income declared to SWWF. The said Act includes any concern engaged in the Banking or Financial Institution in the definition of “Industrial Undertaking” but does not define Financial Institution. The Management Company, based on a legal opinion obtained by the Mutual Fund Association of Pakistan (MUFAP), believes that Mutual Funds are not liable to pay Sindh WWF under the said law, for the reason that the Mutual Funds are not financial institutions and rather an investment vehicle. However, the Sindh Revenue Board has not accepted the said position of MUFAP and as a result, MUFAP has taken up this matter with the Sindh Finance Ministry for resolution.

The matter was again deliberated by MUFAP on January 12, 2017 subsequent to the decision of Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) dated November 10, 2016 in relation to Federal WWF declaring the insertion of amendments introduced through Finance Act, 2008 pertaining to WWF as unlawful for the reason that the WWF is not in the nature of tax and therefore, could not be introduced through money bill under the Constitution.

Without prejudice to the above, MUFAP, in the meeting held on January 12, 2017 decided to create the provision against Sindh WWF, on prudent basis, from the date of enactment of the Sindh WWF Act, 2014 (i.e., May 21, 2015) with effect from January 12, 2017.

The above decision was communicated to the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) and the Pakistan Stock Exchange on January 12, 2017 and the SECP vide its letter dated February 1, 2017 advised MUFAP that the adjustments relating to the above should be made prospectively and adequate disclosure shall be made in the condensed interim financial information of mutual funds. Accordingly, the Fund has recorded these adjustments in its books of account on January 12, 2017.

Underlying the definition of fair value is the presumption that the Fund is a going concern without any intention or requirement to curtail materially the scale of its operations or to undertake a transaction on adverse terms.

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities traded in active markets are based on the quoted market prices at the

close of trading on the period end date. The estimated fair value of all other financial assets and liabilities is considered not significantly different from the carrying values as the items are either short-term in nature or periodically repriced.

Fair value hierarchy IFRS 13 requires the Fund to classify financial instruments using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance

of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels: Level 1: Quoted market price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or the liability,

either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Investment of the Fund carried at fair value are categorised as follows:
