The mutual fund industry will launch a collective awareness campaign to attract people to the industry, according to Senior Vice President – National Sales Manager Al Meezan Investment Management, Shahid Gul Motiwala.
On the sidelines of a seminar titled “Employees benefit – tax saving and retirement planning” on Tuesday, he said, “Gone are the days when potential customers come to you themselves.”
In reference to the declining saving trends in the country and challenges being faced by the mutual fund industry, Motiwala said now is the time to market products to the locals, who are usually less likely to save.
He said the middle class of Pakistan was hesitant to invest in mutual funds, rather, they preferred to deposit money in banks. According to him, that was why the size of the mutual fund industry was not greater than Rs230 billion, while bank deposits were around Rs500 billion, which was a cause for concern for the industry.
“We need to reach the Rs500 billion mark where banks stand today,” he said. “There is growth in mutual fund industry but it is slow.”
Comparing rural and urban saving trends over the last three years, he said the salaried class in urban areas had been under stress due to high inflation. On the contrary, rural incomes had soared and that offset the inflationary pressures in rural areas – although the rural population achieved high incomes due to an increase in cotton and wheat prices. “Reaching the rural population is still difficult,” he said.
The urban population has more knowledge of the mutual fund industry but less disposable income, while the rural population has more money but insufficient knowledge, he added.
Motiwala said that Al Meezan, which is currently managing over Rs29 billion in assets, not only offers tax benefits according to the income tax laws, but also offers attractive returns on investments on the basis of Islamic principles.

Income Funds face heavy redemptions during 9MFY11
If we recall, back in Jun-10, the net assets of the income funds category stood at Rs45bn. During 9MFY11 the category generated gross sales of Rs32bn (including bonus units issued), as compared to total sales of Rs60bn received by the category during 9MFY10. However, total Rs41bn redemption has resulted in net redemption of Rs9.2bn faced by the category, as compared to net sales of Rs772mn during the same period last year. The fund size has declined by 19%YoY during 9MFY10. The net redemption was a major contributor in decline of the mentioned category (contributing 25%), while the net profit (excluding distribution by the funds) supported the category to some extent and during 9MFY11. The category earned net profit of Rs3.06bn, a contribution of 8% witnessed by the category. The fund size of the income funds category reached ~Rs39bn during Apr-11, remained static, being almost at the same level of the last month's figure of Rs38bn, a meager appreciation of 1%MoM. However, during 10MFY11, the size of the category is showing a decline of 17%YoY.
Money Market Funds- tapping market share
The Money market funds category size stood at Rs32bn in Jun-10 and out of total 17, 12 money market funds existed in the market. During 9MFY11, five new money market funds were launched. The total cash received by category was at Rs96bn in term of sales (including bonus units) during 9MFY11.

The net assets of the category increased by mammoth 96%YoY, whereas the contribution of the sales reached to 47% while the net profit contribution stood at 7%. After showing a decline of less than 6%MoM in fund size of the money market funds category during Mar-11, the category recovered well in Apr-11 and appreciated by 14%MoM to reach at Rs72bn. Simultaneously, during 10MFY11, the category appreciated by 124%YoY.

The contribution of net redemption to net assets growth is just of 3.4%, and net profits contributed ~20%, showing that the equity funds' net assets grew due to the portfolio investments of the funds.
