DIRECTORS REPORTS TO THE SHAREHOLDERS
The Directors have Pleasure in placing their Report and
Audited Accounts for the year ended June 30, 1998 before
the Fourth Annual General Meeting of the Company to be
held on December 26, 1998.
The period under review had been a very difficult for the
stock markets in Pakistan. The market showed severe bearish
tendency during this period and the KSE index fell
below 1000 level. This was mainly due to the political
developments witnessed at home and abroad. Your
directors are of the view that the market should remain
and operate around this level in the near future and we
do not see an upturn so quickly unless there are some
structural changes made at the national level. Therefore
your Directors have decided to white down the portfolio
value of Rupees 152,20,501 during the year.
During the period under review, the Mutual Fund sustained
a net loss of Rs. 184,343 after adjusting all the expenses.
This is by no means a satisfactory performance.
This results in a total accumulated losses of
Rupees 21,917,024 from inception to date. We are thankful
to the safeway Fund Limited, the Management Company
for its waiver of expenses this year. This was a great relief
to the Mutual Fund.
The Directors would like to record its appreciation for the
valuable contribution made by all the employees.
For and behalf of the Board
Naseer Ahmed
Chief Executive
