Current account deficit increased to $ 5.5 billion in Jul-Feb FY17, which was largely due to a sizable increase in imports of capital goods, along with delayed receipts of Coalition Support Fund (CSF). The rise in overall import payments was mainly driven by increased purchases and higher prices of fuel. However, there was significant increase in capital goods imports, which will lead the economy to a higher growth path.
Till March 31 2017, Pakistan’s total liquid foreign exchange reserves amounted to $21.550 billion for the period ended March 31, 2017. Forex reserves held by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) stood at $16.466 billion, while the net foreign exchange reserves held by commercial banks equaled at $5.084 billion. However, the external front constraints pose immense risk to country’s long term sustainable growth evident from the monthly import bill that crossed $5 billion for the first time in March, which took the nine-month trade deficit to $23.4 billion – also a new record. The gap between imports and exports stood at $23.38 billion in the July-March period of current fiscal year, which was 38.8% or $6.53 billion more than the comparative period of previous year. The main reason behind the ballooning deficit was constant double-digit growth in imports and contraction in exports. The nine-month trade gap was $2.9 billion more than the fiscal year’s annual deficit target of $20.5 billion, set by the Ministry of Finance. Exports fell 3.1% to only $15.1 billion during July-March 2016-17, which were $478 million less than the shipments made in the comparative period of last year. Imports, however, increased 18.7% to $38.5 billion in the same period. In absolute terms, the import bill was $6.6 billion higher than the previous year.
Remittances play a major role in stabilizing Pakistan’s external sector, as they make up almost half the import bill and cover the deficit in the trade of goods account. Nevertheless, in recent times, they have come under pressure due to global economic slowdown on the back of low crude oil prices. Overseas Pakistani workers sent remittances amounting to $1.69 billion in March, an increase of 19% from February when it stood at $1.42 billion. However, cumulatively, the figure fails to convey the whole picture as remittances during the first nine months (July-March) of the current fiscal year declined to $14.06 billion from $14.39 billion in the same period of previous fiscal year – a fall of 2.29%.
Analysts have warned that the country’s foreign reserves might deplete fast in the coming months unless its policymakers take serious steps in increasing exports on sustainable basis. However, the SBP is confident that the country faces no immediate threat from the slowdown in remittances and it is in a much better position to repay debts in the next four to five years.
All in all, Pakistan has entered into a new era of development whereby overseas investors have acknowledged it as land of unlimited opportunities offering investment friendly environment in diverse sectors as prided by board of Investment (BOI) achieving $ 1.3 billion foreign investment target set for first three quarters of current fiscal year. Consequently, despite constraints on country’s balance of payments position, improvements in investors’ confidence as reflected in an uptick in private sector credit, especially for fixed investment purposes; foreign interests in Pakistani companies; and increased production of consumer durables are indeed laudable. Similarly, a surge in import of machinery and raw materials also points to a robust industrial activity and buildup of future productive capacity. The fact that Pakistan is growing and enjoys the trust of the lender agencies will go on to act as a catalyst in redoubling its successes in the years to come.
The Board of Directors of the Faysal Asset Management Limited, the management company of the Faysal Asset Allocation Fund (FAAF), is pleased to present the un-audited condensed interim financial information of FAAF for the nine months and quarter ended March 31, 2017.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
ECONOMIC REVIEW:
Pakistan's economy is out of the woods. It is now on a winning streak. Irrespective of inherent weaknesses, its private and public sectors have made great strides. Our country’s economy has strengthened following successful completion of its three-year program with International Monetary Fund (IMF) where the economy is expected to grow by 5% over the next two years because of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects as infrastructure gaps may reduce through increased investment in transportation and power. This is quite a healthy trend, keeping in view the economic turmoil on an international stage since 2008. In terms of purchasing power, Pakistan's economy is ranked 24th in the world. Its 200 million population, with an enterprising youth, are the decisive factors for social mobility, growth and productivity. At the macro-economic level, Pakistan has made immense progress irrespective of bottlenecks. Inflow of capital in the last few years has helped in the development of infrastructure, especially in the sectors of health, education and civic amenities.
Average CPI-based inflation in three quarters of the current fiscal year (July-March) increased 4.01% compared to 2.64% the same period of previous year reflecting higher domestic demand and increase in global commodity prices. The large scale manufacturing (LSM) sector continues to grow at 3.5% with increase in production of cement, steel, pharmaceuticals, automobiles, paper & board and electronics.
FBR had collected PKR 2258 billion during July-March of the current fiscal year. the FBR is facing shortfall due to the pro growth incentives offered to various sectors of the economy particularly exports and agriculture; major item of revenue gap amounting to PKR 100 billion was due to not passing the full impact of the POL prices to the common man. Pakistan has also revised the budget deficit target to 4.1% of the GDP from budgetary estimates of 3.8% of the GDP due to lower tax collection and soaring expenditures.

EQUITY REVIEW
Equity Market ended the nine months period of FY17 at 48,155.93 levels remarkably returning 27.45% in 9MFY17, while KMI 30 generated a staggering return of 24%.
The month of March’17 however, persisted on dull note as the index remained almost flat compared to previous month’s closing level as PSX 100 index slipped 0.78% MoM to take CYTD return to merely 0.73%.
In the nine months of FY17 (July-March 2016-17), foreign investors have sold stocks worth $483 mn. Foreign selling was majorly absorbed by mutual funds which cumulatively bought $419 mn worth shares in those eight months.
In this depressing scenario, mutual funds have come to the rescue that have scaled up PSX by 27% in 9MFYTD (till March 31, 2017), which is reasonably healthy as index is trajecting upward with a huge arbitrage standing in view of upcoming MSCI EM inclusion due next month.
During the 3rd quarter 2017 (January 2017- March 2017) foreigners & local banks were net sellers of US$163.3mn/US$66.9mn, while local mutual funds and insurance companies were net buyers of US$111.1mn/US$35.7mn. Average volume/value surged 154%/132% partially due to low base effect of last year, as volumes were thin due to low oil prices & a global equities sell-off.
During the period ended on March 31 2017, Automobile Assemblers, Chemicals, Engineering, Oil & Gas Marketing, Paper & Board, Refinery, and Transport sectors performed better than the market while, Fertilizer, Oil & Gas Exploration, Power Generation & Distribution sectors lagged behind. Healthy earnings announcements and improving future outlook amid strong volumetric growth and robust profit margins resulted in the out-performance of the Automobile & Assembler sector. Gas distribution companies led the upside of OMC sector amid improving earnings outlook. Investors accumulated position in Paper & Board sector on the back of better than expected corporate results by a select company and improving earnings outlook considering likely imposition of anti-dumping duty on imports. We attribute the abysmal performance of the Fertilizer sector to the weak global price outlook of urea amid supply glut. Owing to un-impressive earnings announcements and lower than expected payouts the Power Generation & Distribution sector failed to draw investors’ interest. Driven by renewed fall in the global oil prices, the Oil & Gas Exploration sector depicted subdued performance.
All in all, positivity on the market direction cannot be ruled out as future events (results, upcoming upgrade, Budget) may help the market shade off its underperformance. PSX stake sale & MSCI EM-upgrade’s bullish sentiments are likely to be checked by political & regulatory uncertainty along with a prelude to MSCI flows in the form of foreign funds rebalancing new FTSE scrips between themselves overseas.
Going forward, we still see substantial upside potential for equities driven by reasonable valuations as captured in forward P/E multiples of 10.4x; benign near-term inflation and interest rates; improving macro-economic outlook; buoyant business and consumer
sentiment; and expectation of healthy foreign inflows from funds tracking MSCI EM Index. That said, we may see bouts of volatility amid domestic political liquidity and global policy uncertainty. Investors are advised to stay the course unfazed by the confusing headlines, keeping long-term objective in mind.
PSX-100 is currently trading at a PER of 9.3x (2017) against Asia Pac regional average of 12.9x while offering twice as better dividend yield of ~5.2 % versus ~2.7% offered by the region.

Razi ur Rahman KhanKarachi: April 28, 2017 Chief Executive Officer
Current account deficit increased to $ 5.5 billion in Jul-Feb FY17, which was largely due to a sizable increase in imports of capital goods, along with delayed receipts of Coalition Support Fund (CSF). The rise in overall import payments was mainly driven by increased purchases and higher prices of fuel. However, there was significant increase in capital goods imports, which will lead the economy to a higher growth path.
Till March 31 2017, Pakistan’s total liquid foreign exchange reserves amounted to $21.550 billion for the period ended March 31, 2017. Forex reserves held by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) stood at $16.466 billion, while the net foreign exchange reserves held by commercial banks equaled at $5.084 billion. However, the external front constraints pose immense risk to country’s long term sustainable growth evident from the monthly import bill that crossed $5 billion for the first time in March, which took the nine-month trade deficit to $23.4 billion – also a new record. The gap between imports and exports stood at $23.38 billion in the July-March period of current fiscal year, which was 38.8% or $6.53 billion more than the comparative period of previous year. The main reason behind the ballooning deficit was constant double-digit growth in imports and contraction in exports. The nine-month trade gap was $2.9 billion more than the fiscal year’s annual deficit target of $20.5 billion, set by the Ministry of Finance. Exports fell 3.1% to only $15.1 billion during July-March 2016-17, which were $478 million less than the shipments made in the comparative period of last year. Imports, however, increased 18.7% to $38.5 billion in the same period. In absolute terms, the import bill was $6.6 billion higher than the previous year.
Remittances play a major role in stabilizing Pakistan’s external sector, as they make up almost half the import bill and cover the deficit in the trade of goods account. Nevertheless, in recent times, they have come under pressure due to global economic slowdown on the back of low crude oil prices. Overseas Pakistani workers sent remittances amounting to $1.69 billion in March, an increase of 19% from February when it stood at $1.42 billion. However, cumulatively, the figure fails to convey the whole picture as remittances during the first nine months (July-March) of the current fiscal year declined to $14.06 billion from $14.39 billion in the same period of previous fiscal year – a fall of 2.29%.
Analysts have warned that the country’s foreign reserves might deplete fast in the coming months unless its policymakers take serious steps in increasing exports on sustainable basis. However, the SBP is confident that the country faces no immediate threat from the slowdown in remittances and it is in a much better position to repay debts in the next four to five years.
All in all, Pakistan has entered into a new era of development whereby overseas investors have acknowledged it as land of unlimited opportunities offering investment friendly environment in diverse sectors as prided by board of Investment (BOI) achieving $ 1.3 billion foreign investment target set for first three quarters of current fiscal year. Consequently, despite constraints on country’s balance of payments position, improvements in investors’ confidence as reflected in an uptick in private sector credit, especially for fixed investment purposes; foreign interests in Pakistani companies; and increased production of consumer durables are indeed laudable. Similarly, a surge in import of machinery and raw materials also points to a robust industrial activity and buildup of future productive capacity. The fact that Pakistan is growing and enjoys the trust of the lender agencies will go on to act as a catalyst in redoubling its successes in the years to come.
The Board of Directors of the Faysal Asset Management Limited, the management company of the Faysal Asset Allocation Fund (FAAF), is pleased to present the un-audited condensed interim financial information of FAAF for the nine months and quarter ended March 31, 2017.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
ECONOMIC REVIEW:
Pakistan's economy is out of the woods. It is now on a winning streak. Irrespective of inherent weaknesses, its private and public sectors have made great strides. Our country’s economy has strengthened following successful completion of its three-year program with International Monetary Fund (IMF) where the economy is expected to grow by 5% over the next two years because of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects as infrastructure gaps may reduce through increased investment in transportation and power. This is quite a healthy trend, keeping in view the economic turmoil on an international stage since 2008. In terms of purchasing power, Pakistan's economy is ranked 24th in the world. Its 200 million population, with an enterprising youth, are the decisive factors for social mobility, growth and productivity. At the macro-economic level, Pakistan has made immense progress irrespective of bottlenecks. Inflow of capital in the last few years has helped in the development of infrastructure, especially in the sectors of health, education and civic amenities.
Average CPI-based inflation in three quarters of the current fiscal year (July-March) increased 4.01% compared to 2.64% the same period of previous year reflecting higher domestic demand and increase in global commodity prices. The large scale manufacturing (LSM) sector continues to grow at 3.5% with increase in production of cement, steel, pharmaceuticals, automobiles, paper & board and electronics.
FBR had collected PKR 2258 billion during July-March of the current fiscal year. the FBR is facing shortfall due to the pro growth incentives offered to various sectors of the economy particularly exports and agriculture; major item of revenue gap amounting to PKR 100 billion was due to not passing the full impact of the POL prices to the common man. Pakistan has also revised the budget deficit target to 4.1% of the GDP from budgetary estimates of 3.8% of the GDP due to lower tax collection and soaring expenditures.
EQUITY REVIEW
Equity Market ended the nine months period of FY17 at 48,155.93 levels remarkably returning 27.45% in 9MFY17, while KMI 30 generated a staggering return of 24%.
The month of March’17 however, persisted on dull note as the index remained almost flat compared to previous month’s closing level as PSX 100 index slipped 0.78% MoM to take CYTD return to merely 0.73%.
In the nine months of FY17 (July-March 2016-17), foreign investors have sold stocks worth $483 mn. Foreign selling was majorly absorbed by mutual funds which cumulatively bought $419 mn worth shares in those eight months.
In this depressing scenario, mutual funds have come to the rescue that have scaled up PSX by 27% in 9MFYTD (till March 31, 2017), which is reasonably healthy as index is trajecting upward with a huge arbitrage standing in view of upcoming MSCI EM inclusion due next month.
During the 3rd quarter 2017 (January 2017- March 2017) foreigners & local banks were net sellers of US$163.3mn/US$66.9mn, while local mutual funds and insurance companies were net buyers of US$111.1mn/US$35.7mn. Average volume/value surged 154%/132% partially due to low base effect of last year, as volumes were thin due to low oil prices & a global equities sell-off.
During the period ended on March 31 2017, Automobile Assemblers, Chemicals, Engineering, Oil & Gas Marketing, Paper & Board, Refinery, and Transport sectors performed better than the market while, Fertilizer, Oil & Gas Exploration, Power Generation & Distribution sectors lagged behind. Healthy earnings announcements and improving future outlook amid strong volumetric growth and robust profit margins resulted in the out-performance of the Automobile & Assembler sector. Gas distribution companies led the upside of OMC sector amid improving earnings outlook. Investors accumulated position in Paper & Board sector on the back of better than expected corporate results by a select company and improving earnings outlook considering likely imposition of anti-dumping duty on imports. We attribute the abysmal performance of the Fertilizer sector to the weak global price outlook of urea amid supply glut. Owing to un-impressive earnings announcements and lower than expected payouts the Power Generation & Distribution sector failed to draw investors’ interest. Driven by renewed fall in the global oil prices, the Oil & Gas Exploration sector depicted subdued performance.
All in all, positivity on the market direction cannot be ruled out as future events (results, upcoming upgrade, Budget) may help the market shade off its underperformance. PSX stake sale & MSCI EM-upgrade’s bullish sentiments are likely to be checked by political & regulatory uncertainty along with a prelude to MSCI flows in the form of foreign funds rebalancing new FTSE scrips between themselves overseas.
Going forward, we still see substantial upside potential for equities driven by reasonable valuations as captured in forward P/E multiples of 10.4x; benign near-term inflation and interest rates; improving macro-economic outlook; buoyant business and consumer

sentiment; and expectation of healthy foreign inflows from funds tracking MSCI EM Index. That said, we may see bouts of volatility amid domestic political liquidity and global policy uncertainty. Investors are advised to stay the course unfazed by the confusing headlines, keeping long-term objective in mind.
PSX-100 is currently trading at a PER of 9.3x (2017) against Asia Pac regional average of 12.9x while offering twice as better dividend yield of ~5.2 % versus ~2.7% offered by the region.

6.1 The Finance Act, 2008 had introduced an amendment to the Workers' Welfare Fund Ordinance, 1971 (WWFOrdinance) as a result of which it was construed that all Collective Investment Schemes (CISs) / mutual fundswhose income exceeded Rs 0.5 million in a tax year were brought within the scope of the WWF Ordinance, thusrendering them liable to pay contribution to WWF at the rate of two percent of their accounting or taxableincome, whichever was higher. In light of this, the Mutual Funds Association of Pakistan (MUFAP) filed aconstitutional petition in the Honourable Sindh High Court (SHC) challenging the applicability of WWF on CISswhich is pending adjudication. Similar cases were disposed of by the Peshawar and the Lahore High Courts inwhich these amendments were declared unlawful and unconstitutional. However, these decisions werechallenged in the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
Subsequently, the Finance Act, 2015 introduced an amendment under which CISs / mutual funds have beenexcluded from the definition of “industrial establishment” subject to WWF under the WWF Ordinance.Consequently, mutual funds are not subject to this levy after the introduction of this amendment which isapplicable from tax year 2016. Accordingly, no further provision in respect of WWF was made with effect fromJuly 1, 2015.
On November 10, 2016 the Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) has passed a judgment declaring theamendments made in the Finance Acts 2006 and 2008 pertaining to WWF as illegal citing that WWF was not inthe nature of tax and could, therefore, not have been introduced through money bills. Accordingly, the aforesaidamendments have been struck down by the SCP. The Federal Board of Revenue has filed a petition in the SCPagainst the said judgment, which is pending for hearing. While the petitions filed by the CISs on the matter arestill pending before the SHC, the Mutual Funds Association of Pakistan (MUFAP) (collectively on behalf of theasset management companies and their CISs) has taken legal and tax opinions on the impact of the SCPjudgement on the CISs petition before the SHC. Both legal and tax advisors consulted were of the view that thejudgment has removed the very basis on which the demands were raised against the CISs. Therefore, therewas no longer any liability against the CISs under the WWF Ordinance and that all cases pending in the SHC orlower appellate forums will now be disposed of in light of the earlier judgement of the SCP.
Furthermore, as a consequence of the 18th amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan, in May 2015 the SindhWorkers’ Welfare Fund Act, 2014 (SWWF Act) had been passed by the government of Sindh as a result ofwhich every industrial establishment located in the Province of Sindh, the total income of which in anyaccounting year is not less than Rs 0.50 million, is required to pay Sindh Workers’ Welfare Fund (SWWF) inrespect of that year a sum equal to two percent of such income. The matter was taken up by the MUFAP withthe Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) collectively on behalf of various asset management companies (including theManagement Company of the Fund) whereby it was contested that mutual funds should be excluded from theambit of the SWWF Act as these were not industrial establishments but were pass through investment vehiclesand did not employ workers. The SRB held that mutual funds were included in the definition of financialinstitutions as per the Financial Institution (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001 and were, hence, required toregister and pay SWWF under the SWWF Act. Thereafter, MUFAP has taken up the matter with the SindhFinance Ministry to have mutual funds excluded from the applicability of SWWF.

7. COMMITMENTS
7.1 Contingencies
There are no commitments at the period end
8. TAXATION
In view of the above developments regarding the applicability of Federal and SWWF on Mutual Funds andconsidering the legal opinion obtained on these matters, MUFAP has recommended the following to all itsmembers on January 12, 2017:
The above decisions were communicated to the SECP and the Pakistan Stock Exchange Limited on January12, 2017. The SECP vide its letter dated February 1, 2017 has advised MUFAP that the adjustments relating tothe above should be prospective and supported by adequate disclosures in the financial statements of the CISs/mutual funds. Accordingly, necessary adjustments in this respect have been recorded in the books of the Fundson January 12, 2017.
The cumulative net effect of the above two adjustments if these had not been made on March 31, 2017 wouldhave resulted in a decrease in the net asset value per unit of the Fund by Rs 1.23 (1.52%).
Accordingly, the provision for SWWF is being made by the Funds on a daily basis going forward.
There were no contingencies as at March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016 except as disclosed in relevant notes tothe financial statements.
Furthermore, the Federal Government vide Finance Act, 2016 has excluded Asset Management Companies and other Non Banking Finance Companies from charge of Federal Excise Duty (FED) on their services.
In view of the pending decision and as a matter of abundant caution, the Management Company of the Fund has maintained a provision for FED in the books of accounts of the Fund with effect from June 13, 2013 to June 30, 2016 aggregating to Rs. 3.54 million (June 30, 2016: Rs. 3.54 million). Had the said provision of FED and related taxes not been recorded in the books of account of the Fund, the net assets value per unit of the Fund would have been higher by Rs.1.57 (1.94%) per unit as at March 31, 2017 (June 30, 2016: Rs.0.33 (0.48%) per unit).
the entire provision against the Federal WWF held by the CISs till June 30, 2015, to be reversed onJanuary 12, 2017; and
the provision in respect of SWWF should be made on a prudent basis with effect from the date ofenactment of the SWWF Act, 2014 (i.e. starting from May 21, 2015) on January 12, 2017.
The income of the fund is exempt from income tax under Clause (99) of Part 1 of the Second Schedule to the IncomeTax Ordinance, 2001 (Clause 99) subject to the condition that not less than 90 percent of the accounting income for theyear, as reduced by capital gains, whether realized or unrealized, is distributed amongst the unit holders. TheManagement Company has intends to distribute not less than 90 percent of its annual accounting income to avail thetax exemption. Accordingly, no provision for current and deferred tax has been made in this condensed interim financialinformation.
There is no change in the status of petition with Honorable Sind High Court as reported in note 15.3 to theannual financial statements of the Fund for the year ended June 30, 2016.

----------(Un-Audited)------------
-------------- (Rupees) --------------
-------------- (Rupees) --------------
IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under IFRS for all fair value measurements and disclosures about fair valuemeasurement where such measurements are required as permitted by other IFRSs. It defines fair value as the price thatwould be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at themeasurement date (i.e. an exit price). Adoption of IFRS 13, has not affected the condensed interim financial information.
Financial assets which are tradable in an open market are revalued at the market prices prevailing on the statement of assetsand liabilities date. The estimated fair value of all other financial assets and financial liabilities is considered not significantlydifferent from book value.
The following table shows financial instruments recognized at fair value, analyzed between those whose fair value is based on:
Those involving inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and
Those with inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

----------------------------- (Rupees) -----------------------------
March 31, 2017
SECP has introduced "expense ratio" vide amendments in NBFC Regulations dated November 25, 2015,whereby, the total expense ratio of an asset allocation scheme shall be capped at 4% of average daily net assetsvalue of the scheme. The regulation further states that for the purpose of expense ratio, expenses incurred inrelation to any government levy on funds such as sales tax, federal excise duty, SECP fee, etc. shall be excludedwhile calculating expense ratio. Furthermore, under NBFC Regulation 60(3)(s), wherein the ManagementCompany is allowed to charge their cost to Collective Investment Schemes (CIS) in respect of fees andexpenses related to registrar services, accounting, operations and valuation services related to that CIS, themaximum cost that can be charged in this regard is up to 0.1% of the average annual net assets of that CIS oractual, whichever is less. Accordingly, this represents the amount receivable from the Management Company tomaintain the expense ratio of the Fund within the prescribed limits. The total expense ratio of the Fund is 4.75%which includes 0.86% representing government levies and SECP fee.
Comparative information has been re-classified, re-arranged or additionally incorporated in these financialstatements, wherever necessary, to facilitate comparison and to conform with changes in presentation in thecurrent year.
