Economic Review
The first half of fiscal year FY20 marked significant improvement on macroeconomic front on local and
especially on foreign front. Finalization of IMF program and macro-economic measures taken by the
Government helped to stabilize economy and put country on growth path.
The year began with Government’s successful negotiation of USD 6 billion IMF package and the
implementation of macro-economic stabilization measures that came with it. Pakistan’s entry into an IMF

program also paved way for further inflows from World Bank (WB), Asian Development Bank (ADB) and
other lenders. The country received second tranche of payment from IMF worth USD 0.45 billion in
December 2019 taking total disbursement to USD 1.44 billion. Further, Government of Pakistan also
reached an agreement with ADB for a loan of USD 1.3 billion for budgetary support and power sector
reforms; with disbursement of the said amount being received in December 2019.
On the monetary front, after eight consecutive rate hikes since January 2018, SBP decided to maintain the
policy rate at 13.25% in September and kept inflation forecast at 11-12% for FY20. CPI inflation for 1HFY20
remained on a higher side and was recorded at 11.11% primarily due to seasonal effect of food prices which
are expected to be normalized going forward.
Development in the fiscal sector has gained traction on account of broad based taxation reforms and strict
control over non development expenditures. In 1HFY20 FBR tax collection increased by 16.3% YoY to PKR
2,083 billion. Despite the improvement in collection the six month target fell short by PKR 114 billion due
to significant decline in imports. On expenditure side, public sector development programs (PSDP)
increased to PKR 257 billion during July - Oct FY20 from Rs 105.5 billion last year. On financing side, the
government remained firm on its commitment of zero fresh budgetary borrowing from SBP, which helped
meet performance criteria under IMF program and also give a promising outlook for inflation.
External sector continued to show steady improvement with sizeable reduction in the current account
deficit from USD 6.73 billion in 5MFY19 to USD 1.82 billion in 5MFY20 (down 72.9% YoY). This was mainly
due to contraction in the trade deficit which decreased by 30.7% to USD 11.63 billion in 1HFY20 as imports
of goods fell by 17.1% to USD 23.16 billion, while exports of goods increased by 3.2% to USD 11.6 billion.
As a result current account balance recorded a surplus in October 2019 after a gap of ~3.6 years (last
current account surplus was recorded in April-2016). The capital and financial account also improved due
to higher FDI and continued portfolio inflows reflecting renewed investor confidence. Furthermore,
government’s efforts to facilitate foreign investment in Pakistan’s PKR denominated debt market also bore
fruit and as a result, Pakistan managed to attract USD 1.5 billion inflows into its local debt market (mainly
T-Bills-hot money) via special convertible rupee accounts.
Disbursement under the IMF along with inflows of from other multilateral agencies and reduction in
current account deficit helped foreign exchange reserves to increase to USD 18.1 billion during the period,
an increase of 24.9% since the start of the current fiscal year. Along with improved reserves, adjustment in
current account and improved sentiments led to rupee strengthening against US dollar since start of the
current fiscal year from a low of PKR 162.4/USD to PKR 154.9/USD. GDP growth for FY20 is expected to be
range bound between 2.5- 3%. There remain challenges in the form of fiscal slippages, rising inflation and
impending FATF decision.
Money Market Review
State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) decided to maintain the policy rate at 13.25% after raising it by 1% in the
month of July 2019. The market was anticipating a reversal in the interest rate cycle, but rising pressures
on inflation kept the policy rate in check. Due to softening of oil and commodity prices and slowdown in
global economies, money market perceived that inflation may have peaked out in the period under review,
triggering sharp inversion in the yield curve which was witnessed by steep decline in secondary market
yields of government papers. Hence, increase in demand for longer tenure government bonds pushed the
PIB yields down where 10 years bond closed at 11.64% (down by 221 bps), 5 years closed at 10.91% (down
by 296 bps) and 3 years closed at 11.00% (down by 272 bps). Part of the reason for the increased demand
for government papers can be attributed to the high interest of foreign investors in fixed income securities
issued by Pakistan. Foreign investors deployed over USD1.4bn in domestic fixed income instruments

during the first six months, providing much needed support to the foreign reserves maintained by the
central bank.
On the liquidity front, money market remained stable due to continuous OMO injections from SBP. During
the period, Central bank borrowed additional Rs. 9.99 trillion through T-bills and Rs. 1.25 trillion through
PIBs in the primary market. However, in order to support the market, SBP injected PKR 975 billion liquidity
through OMO injections.
On the Islamic money market front, Ijarah Sukuks price witnessed an increase due to lack of availability of
Shariah compliant government /Ijarah securities. It is pertinent to mention here that out of the four
running Ijarah Sukuks issues worth Rs. 385 billion, three Ijarahs worth Rs. 314 billion were matured during
FY19 and the last surviving Ijarah is due for maturity in June 2020. The government did not carry out any
Ijarah Sukuks auction since June 2017. In the last fiscal year, the Government issued Pakistan Energy
Sukuks – I in March 2019 worth PKR 200 billion. The second tranche of Energy Sukuks is expected in the
current fiscal year. However, corporate sector continued to raise funds through Sukuks and Islamic
Commercial Paper, which played key role in absorbing some portion of excess liquidity available with
Islamic institutions.
Equity Review
During the first half of FY20, the KMI-30 made a sharp recovery and posted an impressive return of 22%
to close the period at 66,032 while the KSE-100 posted an increase of 20% at 40,735 in the same period.
This was after recording a decline of 17% in KMI-30 from June 30th, 2019 levels. The participation of
investors improved during the period with both the KMI-30 and KSE 100 index volumes up 29 and 19%
respectively. Daily traded value, although still lower by 27% YoY at USD 42.1mn in FY20, bounced sharply
from its low of USD 9.1mn in July 19 (levels last seen in December 2011).
The stock market started period on a subdued note because of concerns over macroeconomic outlook and
consequently KMI-30 and KSE 100 index went down by 17% and 15% respectively and touched the lowest
level of 44,929 and 28,764 as on August 16, 2019. However, subsequently, KMI 30 and KSE 100 index
bounced back by a sharp recovery of 47% and 42% from its lowest level and recovery led mainly on
account of i) successful entry into USD 6bn IMF program which helped obtain much needed multi-
lateral/bilateral aid, ii) After successive rate hikes, State Bank of Pakistan maintained status quo rate in last
two monetary policies, sparking expectations monetary easing going forward, iii) marked improvement in
current account, iv) hot money flow of USD 1.4bn supporting forex reserves and providing stability to PKR
vs USD. The overall political climate also contributed towards better investor sentiments as the
government showed a relatively more reconciliatory to tone towards its opposition.
Global Markets
Globally trend in investment flows into EM ETF reversed as investors deployed over USD7.26bn in EM
markets despite strengthening US dollar. This inflow comes after a dismal 1QFY20 where USD7.5bn worth
of securities were liquidated. MSCI EM recorded an increase of 6% compared to S&P 500 rise of 10% and
MSCI Developed market Index increase of 9% during the same period. The US markets continued to
outperform over the monetary easing by Fed. That said, overall global market sentiment improved towards
the end of the period as possibility of a trade deal between China and US and lower uncertainty of Brexit
led to positive sentiments across all markets with developed, emerging and frontier markets all witnessing
a rally.
Oil prices remained relatively stable, though news regarding US-China trade war brought some volatility at
times. Overall, Brent crude ended first half down 1% to close at $66.55 per barrel.

Going forward, Pakistan is set to slowly but surely meet the IMF’s quantitative targets as the program is off
to a decent start. However, the inevitable strings attached to any IMF Program may keep the Pakistani
economy from witnessing an immediate take-off. We expect that further action on the fiscal front will be
essential to achieve any program targets. In line with the economic slowdown being witnessed on account
of austerity measures and structural reforms, the SBP has forecasted GDP growth to clock in at around 3.5%
for FY20. In contrast, IMF forecasts it to remain around 2.4%. Inflation is expected to average 11-12% in
FY20 as utility tariffs have increased. Despite the stability anticipated in the exchange rate, it is expected that
the monetary tightening cycle, for the time being, may prolong based on the recent rising inflation
While fundamental analysis of the local equity market proves to be favorable in the long run, slowing
economic and business activity indicates that the path to recovery is a tedious and gradual phenomenon. The
structural reforms in the country, the re-rating of the market, and the mean reversion of the KSE-100 index
have temporarily fueled the positive sentiment in investors. But, political stability in the country,
macroeconomic reforms, and geopolitical events will remain catalysts for the performance of the stock
market.
Acknowledgement

of the Fund are in compliance with the principles of Shariah. The investment objectives and policies are explained in
the Fund's offering document.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The transactions undertaken by the Fund are in accordance with the process prescribed under the Shariah guidelines
issued by the Shariah Advisor and are accounted for on substance rather than the form prescribed by the earlier
referred guidelines. This practice is being followed to comply with the requirements of the accounting and reporting
standards as applicable in Pakistan.
3. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting and reporting
standards as applicable in Pakistan. The accounting and reporting standards applicable in Pakistan comprise of:
- International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB) as notified under the Companies Act, 2017;
- Provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017, along with part VIIIA of the repealed
Companies Ordinance, 1984; and
- the Non-Banking Finance Companies (Establishment and Regulation) Rules, 2003 (the NBFC Rules), the Non-
Banking Finance Companies and Notified Entities Regulations, 2008 (the NBFC Regulations) and the
requirements of the Trust Deed.
Where provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017, part VIIIA of the repealed Companies
Ordinance 1984, the NBFC Rules, the NBFC Regulations and the requirements of the Trust Deed differ from the
International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, the provisions of and directives issued under
the Companies Act, 2017, part VIIIA of the repealed Companies Ordinance 1984, the NBFC Rules, the NBFC
Regulations and the requirements of the Trust Deed have been followed.
The disclosures made in these condensed interim financial statements have, however, been limited based on the
requirements of the International Accounting Standard 34: 'Interim Financial Reporting'. These condensed interim
financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in a full set of financial statements and
should be read in conjunction with the annual published audited financial statements of the Fund for the year ended
June 30, 2019.
2
These condensed interim financial statements are unaudited. However, a limited scope review has been performed by
the statutory auditors. In compliance with Schedule V of the NBFC Regulations, the directors of the Management
Company declare that these condensed interim financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of
the Fund as at December 31, 2019.
4.1 The accounting policies adopted and the methods of computation of balances used in the preparation of these
condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the preparation of the annual financial
statements of the Fund for the year ended June 30, 2019.
4.2 The preparation of the condensed interim financial statements in conformity with accounting and reporting standards
as applicable in Pakistan requires management to make estimates, assumptions and use judgments that affect the
application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates, assumptions and
judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including reasonable
expectations of future events. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively commencing from the
period of revision. In preparing the condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by
management in applying the Fund’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation and uncertainty were the
same as those applied to the financial statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2019. The Fund’s financial
risk management objectives and policies are consistent with those disclosed in the annual financial statements of the
Fund for the year ended June 30, 2019.
4.3 Amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are effective in the current period
There are certain amendments to the published accounting and reporting standards that are mandatory for the Fund's
annual accounting period beginning on July 1, 2019. However, these do not have any significant impact on the Fund's
operations and, therefore, have not been detailed in these condensed interim financial statements.
4.4 Standards, interpretations and amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are not yet
effective
The following amendments would be effective from the dates mentioned below against the respective amendment:

process of assessing the full impact of these amendments on the financial statements of the Fund.
There are certain new standards and amendments to the accounting and reporting standards that are mandatory for
the Fund's annual accounting period beginning on or after July 1, 2020. However, these do not have any significant

6.2.2 The Finance Act, 2014 introduced amendments to the Income Tax Ordinance 2001 as a result of which companies
were liable to withhold five percent of the bonus shares to be issued. The shares so withheld were only to be released
if the Fund deposits tax equivalent to five percent of the value of the bonus shares issued to the Fund including bonus
shares withheld, determined on the basis of day-end price on the first day of closure of books of the issuing company.
In this regard, a constitutional petition had been filed by Collective Investment Schemes (CISs) through their Trustees
in the High Court of Sindh, challenging the applicability of withholding tax provisions on bonus shares received by
CISs. The petition was based on the fact that because CISs are exempt from deduction of income tax under Clause 99
Part I to the Second Schedule of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001, the withholding tax provision should also not be
applicable on bonus shares received by CISs. A stay order had been granted by the Honourable High Court of Sindh
in favour of CISs.
During the year ended June 30, 2018, the Supreme Court of Pakistan passed a judgement on June 27, 2018 whereby
the suits which are already pending or shall be filed in future must only be continued / entertained on the condition that
a minimum of 50 percent of the tax calculated by the tax authorities is deposited with the authorities. Accordingly, the
CISs were required to pay minimum 50% of the tax calculated by the tax authorities for the case to remain continued.
The CISs failed to deposit the minimum 50% of the tax liability and accordingly the stay got vacated automatically
during the year ended June 30, 2019. During the period ended December 31, 2019, the CISs have filed a fresh
constitutional petition via CP 4653 dated July 11, 2019. In this regard, on July 15, 2019, the Honourable High of Sindh
has issued notices to the relevant parties and has ordered that no third party interest on bonus shares issued to the
Funds in lieu of their investments be created in the meantime. The matter is still pending adjudication and the Funds
have included these shares in their portfolio, as the management is confident that the decision of the constitutional
petition will be in favour of the CISs.
Finance Act, 2018 effective from July 1, 2018 has omitted Section 236M of Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 requiring
every company quoted on stock exchange issuing bonus shares to the shareholders of the company, to withhold five
percent of the bonus shares to be issued. Therefore, bonus shares issued to the Fund during the period were not
withheld by the investee companies.
As at December 31, 2019, the bonus shares of the Fund withheld by certain companies at the time of declaration of
bonus shares amounted to Rs. 51.258 million (June 30, 2019: Rs. 40.686 million).
6.2.3 Investments include 1,000,000 shares of Engro Corporation Limited, having market value of Rs 345.25 million as at
December 31, 2019 (June 30, 2019: Rs. 265.60 million) which have been pledged with National Clearing Company of
Pakistan Limited for guaranteeing settlement of the Fund's trades in accordance with Circular No. 11 dated October
23, 2007 issued by the SECP.
In accordance with the NBFC Regulations, a Collective Investment Scheme (CIS) is required to pay annual fee to the
Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
Effective from July 1, 2019, the SECP vide SRO No. 685(I)/2019 dated June 28, 2019, revised the rate of annual fee
to 0.02% of net assets, applicable on all categories of CISs. Previously, the rate of annual fee applicable to equity
funds was 0.095%. Accordingly, the Fund has charged SECP Fee at the rate of 0.02% of net assets during the current
period.

8.1 As a consequence of the 18th amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan, in May 2015 the Sindh Workers’ Welfare
Fund Act, 2014 (SWWF Act) had been passed by the Government of Sindh as a result of which every industrial
establishment located in the Province of Sindh, the total income of which in any accounting year is not less than Rs
0.50 million, was required to pay Sindh Workers’ Welfare Fund (SWWF) in respect of that year a sum equal to two
percent of such income. The matter was taken up by the MUFAP with the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) collectively on
behalf of various asset management companies and their CISs whereby it was contested that mutual funds should be
excluded from the ambit of the SWWF Act as these were not industrial establishments but were pass through
investment vehicles and did not employ workers. The SRB held that mutual funds were included in the definition of
financial institutions as per the Financial Institution (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001 and were, hence, required
to register and pay SWWF under the SWWF Act. Thereafter, MUFAP had taken up the matter with the Sindh Finance
Ministry to have CISs / mutual funds excluded from the applicability of SWWF. In view of the above developments
regarding the applicability of SWWF on CISs/mutual funds, MUFAP recommended that, as a matter of abundant
caution, provision in respect of SWWF should be made on a prudent basis with effect from the date of enactment of
the SWWF Act, 2014 (i.e. starting from May 21, 2015).
Had the provision for SWWF not been recorded in the condensed interim financial statements of the Fund for the
period from May 21, 2015 to December 31, 2019, the net asset value of the Fund as at December 31, 2019 would
have been higher by Re. 0.85 per unit (June 30, 2019: Re 0.63 per unit).
8.2 The Finance Act, 2013 enlarged the scope of Federal Excise Duty (FED) on financial services to include Asset
Management Companies (AMCs) as a result of which FED at the rate of 16 percent on the remuneration of the
Management Company and sales load was applicable with effect from June 13, 2013. The Management Company
was of the view that since the remuneration was already subject to provincial sales tax, further levy of FED would
result in double taxation which did not appear to be the spirit of the law. Hence, on September 4, 2013 a constitutional
petition was filed with the Sindh High Court (SHC) by the Management Company together with various other asset
management companies challenging the levy of FED.
With effect from 01 July 2016, FED on services provided or rendered by non-banking financial institutions dealing in
services which are subject to provincial sales tax has been withdrawn by the Finance Act, 2016.
During the year ended 30 June 2017, the SHC passed an order whereby all notices, proceedings taken or pending,
orders made, duty recovered or actions taken under the Federal Excise Act, 2005 in respect of the rendering or
providing of services (to the extent as challenged in any relevant petition) were set aside. In response to this, the
Deputy Commissioner Inland Revenue has filed a Civil Petition for leave to appeal in the Supreme Court of Pakistan
which is pending adjudication.
In view of the above, the Fund has discontinued making further provision in respect of FED on remuneration of the
Management Company with effect from July 01, 2016. However, as a matter of abundant caution the provision for FED
made for the period from June 13, 2013 till June 30, 2016 amounting to Rs 264.474 million is being retained in the
condensed interim financial statements of the Fund as the matter is pending before the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
Had the provision not been made, the NAV per unit of the Fund would have been higher by Re 0.51 (June 30, 2019:
Re 0.49) per unit.
There were no contingencies and commitments outstanding as at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019.
Connected persons include Al Meezan Investment Management Limited being the Management Company, the Central
Depository Company of Pakistan Limited being the Trustee, Meezan Bank Limited being the holding company of the
Management Company, Directors and executives of the Management Company, other Funds under the common
management of the Management Company, Pakistan Kuwait Investment Company (Private) Limited being the
associated company of the Management Company, Al Meezan Investment Management Limited - Employees' Gratuity
Fund and unitholders holding 10 percent or more of the Fund's net assets.
Transactions with connected persons are in the normal course of business, at contracted rates and terms determined
in accordance with market rates.
Remuneration payable to the Management Company and the Trustee is determined in accordance with the provisions
of the NBFC Rules, the NBFC Regulations and the Trust Deed respectively.

Details of transactions with connected persons and balances with them are as follows:
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. Consequently, differences can arise between carrying values
and the fair value estimates.
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.
Financial assets which are tradeable in an open market are revalued at market prices prevailing on the statement of
assets and liabilities date. The estimated fair value of all other financial assets and liabilities is considered not to be
significantly different from the respective book values.
International Financial Reporting Standard 13, 'Fair Value Measurement' requires the Fund to classify assets 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: Fair value measurements using quoted price (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets or
liabilities.
- Level 2: Fair value measurements using inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- Level 3: Fair value measurement using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market
data (i.e. unobservable inputs).
As at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, the Fund held the following financial instruments measured at fair value:
In accordance with Regulation 60 of the NBFC Regulations, the Management Company is entitled to charge fees and
expenses related to registrar services, accounting, operation and valuation services, related to a Collective Investment
Scheme (CIS).
10
Until June 19, 2019 there was a maximum cap of 0.1% of the average annual net assets of the scheme or actual
whichever is less, for allocation of such expense to the Fund. However, the SECP vide its SRO 639 dated June 20,
2019 removed the maximum cap of 0.1%.
The management company based on its own discretion has currently fixed a maximum capping of 0.1% of the average
annual net assets of the scheme for allocation of such expenses to the Fund.
The Total Expense Ratio (TER) of the Fund for the half year ended December 31, 2019 is 3.98% which include 1.09%
representing government levy, Sindh Workers' Welfare Fund and SECP fee.
The SECP has allowed the Asset Management Companies to charge selling and marketing expenses to all categories
of open-end mutual funds (except fund of funds) initially for a period of three years (i.e from January 1, 2017 till
December 31, 2019). The maximum cap of selling and marketing expense was 0.4% per annum of the net assets of
the Fund or actual expenses whichever is lower.
During the current period, the SECP through its circular 11 dated July 5, 2019 has revised the conditions for charging
of selling and marketing expenses to a Fund. As per the revised guidelines, the maximum cap of 0.4% per annum has
been lifted and now the asset management company is required to set a maximum limit for charging of such expense
to the Fund and the same should be approved by the Board as part of annual plan. Furthermore, the time limit of three
years has also been removed in the revised conditions.
Accordingly, the management company based on its own discretion has currently determined a capping of 0.4% of the
average annual net assets of the fund for charging of selling and marketing expenses to the Fund which has also been
approved by the Board.
15. TAXATION
The Fund's income is exempt from income tax as per clause (99) of part I of the Second Schedule to the Income Tax
Ordinance, 2001 subject to the condition that not less than 90 percent of the accounting income for the year as
reduced by capital gains, whether realised or unrealised, is distributed amongst the unitholders. Furthermore, as per
regulation 63 of the NBFC Regulations, the Fund is required to distribute atleast 90 percent of the net accounting
income other than capital gains to the unit holders.The Fund has not recorded any tax liability in respect of income
relating to the current period as the Management Company intends to distribute at least 90 percent of the Fund's
accounting income for the year ending June 30, 2020 as reduced by capital gains (whether realised or unrealised) to
its unit holders.
The Fund is also exempt from the provisions of section 113 (minimum tax) under clause 11A of Part IV of the Second
Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.

value of Rs 51.7875 million (June 30, 2019: Rs 39.84 million) as at December 31, 2019, which have been pledged with
National Clearing Company of Pakistan for guaranteeing settlement of Fund's trades in accordance with Circular 11
dated October 23, 2007 by SECP.

6.1.3 The Finance Act, 2014 introduced amendments to the Income Tax Ordinance 2001 as a result of which companies
were liable to withhold five percent of the bonus shares to be issued. The shares so withheld were only to be released
if the Fund deposits tax equivalent to five percent of the value of the bonus shares issued to the Fund including bonus
shares withheld, determined on the basis of day-end price on the first day of closure of books of the issuing company.
In this regard, a constitutional petition had been filed by Collective Investment Schemes (CISs) through their Trustees
in the High Court of Sindh, challenging the applicability of withholding tax provisions on bonus shares received by
CISs. The petition was based on the fact that because CISs are exempt from deduction of income tax under Clause 99
Part I to the Second Schedule of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001, the withholding tax provision should also not be
applicable on bonus shares received by CISs. A stay order had been granted by the Honourable High Court of Sindh
in favour of CISs.
During the year ended June 30, 2018, the Supreme Court of Pakistan passed a judgement on June 27, 2018 whereby
the suits which are already pending or shall be filed in future must only be continued / entertained on the condition that
a minimum of 50 percent of the tax calculated by the tax authorities is deposited with the authorities. Accordingly, the
CISs were required to pay minimum 50% of the tax calculated by the tax authorities for the case to remain continued.
The CISs failed to deposit the minimum 50% of the tax liability and accordingly the stay got vacated automatically
during the year ended June 30, 2019. During the period ended December 31, 2019, the CISs have filed a fresh
constitutional petition via CP 4653 dated July 11, 2019. In this regard, on July 15, 2019, the Honourable High of Sindh
has issued notices to the relevant parties and has ordered that no third party interest on bonus shares issued to the
Funds in lieu of their investments be created in the meantime. The matter is still pending adjudication and the Funds
have included these shares in their portfolio, as the management is confident that the decision of the constitutional
petition will be in favour of the CISs.
Finance Act, 2018 effective from July 1, 2018 has omitted Section 236M of Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 requiring
every company quoted on stock exchange issuing bonus shares to the shareholders of the company, to withhold five
percent of the bonus shares to be issued. Therefore, bonus shares issued to the Fund during the period were not
withheld by the investee companies.
As at December 31, 2019, the bonus shares of the Fund withheld by certain companies at the time of declaration of
bonus shares amounted to Rs. 7.804 million (June 30, 2019: Rs. 7.132 million).
In accordance with the NBFC Regulations, a Collective Investment Scheme (CIS) is required to pay annual fee to the
Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
Effective from July 1, 2019, the SECP vide SRO No. 685(I)/2019 dated June 28, 2019, revised the rate of annual fee
to 0.02% of net assets, applicable on all categories of CISs. Previously, the rate of annual fee applicable to equity
funds was 0.095%. Accordingly, the Fund has charged SECP Fee at the rate of 0.02% of net assets during the current
period.
There were no contingencies and commitments outstanding as at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019.
9.1 As a consequence of the 18th amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan, in May 2015 the Sindh Workers’ Welfare
Fund Act, 2014 (SWWF Act) had been passed by the Government of Sindh as a result of which every industrial
establishment located in the Province of Sindh, the total income of which in any accounting year is not less than Rs
0.50 million, is required to pay Sindh Workers’ Welfare Fund (SWWF) in respect of that year a sum equal to two
percent of such income. The matter was taken up by the MUFAP with the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) collectively on
behalf of various asset management companies and their CISs whereby it was contested that mutual funds should be
excluded from the ambit of the SWWF Act as these were not industrial establishments but were pass through
investment vehicles and did not employ workers. The SRB held that mutual funds were included in the definition of
financial institutions as per the Financial Institution (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001 and were, hence, required
to register and pay SWWF under the SWWF Act. Thereafter, MUFAP has taken up the matter with the Sindh Finance
Ministry to have CISs / mutual funds excluded from the applicability of SWWF. In view of the above developments
regarding the applicability of SWWF on CISs/ mutual funds, the MUFAP had recommended that as a matter of
abundant caution provision in respect of SWWF should be made on a prudent basis with effect from the date of
enactment of the SWWF Act (i.e. starting from May 21, 2015).
Had the provision for SWWF not been recorded in the condensed interim financial statements of the Fund for the
period from May 21, 2015 to December 31, 2019, the net asset value of the Fund per unit as at December 31, 2019
would have been higher by Re 0.21 (June 30, 2019: Re 0.14 per unit).
9.2 The Finance Act, 2013 enlarged the scope of Federal Excise Duty (FED) on financial services to include Asset
Management Companies (AMCs) as a result of which FED at the rate of 16% on the remuneration of the Management
Company and sales load was applicable with effect from June 13, 2013. The Management Company was of the view
that since the remuneration was already subject to provincial sales tax, further levy of FED would result in double
taxation which did not appear to be the spirit of the law. Hence, on September 4, 2013 a constitutional petition was
filed with the Sindh High Court (SHC) by the Management Company together with various other asset management
companies challenging the levy of FED.
With effect from July 01, 2016, FED on services provided or rendered by non-banking financial institutions dealing in
services which are subject to provincial sales tax has been withdrawn by the Finance Act, 2016.
During the year ended June 30, 2017, the SHC passed an order whereby all notices, proceedings taken or pending,
orders made, duty recovered or actions taken under the Federal Excise Act, 2005 in respect of the rendering or
providing of services (to the extent as challenged in any relevant petition) were set aside. In response to this, the
Deputy Commissioner Inland Revenue has filed a Civil Petition for leave to appeal in the Supreme Court of Pakistan
which is pending adjudication.
In view of the above, the Fund has discontinued making further provision in respect of FED on remuneration of the
Management Company with effect from July 01, 2016. However, as a matter of abundant caution the provision for FED
made for the period from June 13, 2013 till June 30, 2016 amounting to Rs 41.256 million (June 30, 2019: Rs 41.256
million) is being retained in the condensed interim financial statements of the Fund as the matter is pending before the
Supreme Court of Pakistan. Had the provision for FED not been made, the Net Asset Value of the Fund as at
December 31, 2019 would have been higher by Re 0.13 (June 30, 2019: Re 0.12) per unit.

In accordance with Regulation 60 of the NBFC Regulations, the Management Company is entitled to charge fees and
expenses related to registrar services, accounting, operation and valuation services, related to a Collective Investment
Scheme (CIS).
Until June 19, 2019 there was a maximum cap of 0.1% of the average annual net assets of the scheme or actual
whichever is less, for allocation of such expense to the Fund. However, the SECP vide its SRO 639 dated June 20,
2019 removed the maximum cap of 0.1%.
The management company based on its own discretion has currently fixed a maximum capping of 0.1% of the average
annual net assets of the scheme for allocation of such expenses to the Fund.
The Total Expense Ratio (TER) of the Fund for the period ended December 31, 2019 is 4.07% which includes 1.07%
representing government levy, Sindh Workers' Welfare Fund and SECP fee.
The SECP has allowed the Asset Management Companies to charge selling and marketing expenses to all categories
of open-end mutual funds (except fund of funds) initially for a period of three years (i.e from January 1, 2017 till
December 31, 2019). The maximum cap of selling and marketing expense was 0.4% per annum of the net assets of
the Fund or actual expenses whichever is lower.
9
During the current period, the SECP through its circular 11 dated July 5, 2019 has revised the conditions for charging
of selling and marketing expenses to a Fund. As per the revised guidelines, the maximum cap of 0.4% per annum has
been lifted and now the asset management company is required to set a maximum limit for charging of such expense
to the Fund and the same should be approved by the Board as part of annual plan. Furthermore, the time limit of three
Accordingly, the management company based on its own discretion has currently determined a capping of 0.4% of the
average annual net assets of the fund for charging of selling and marketing expenses to the Fund which has also been
approved by the Board.
14. TAXATION
The Fund's income is exempt from income tax as per clause (99) of part I of the Second Schedule to the Income Tax
Ordinance, 2001 subject to the condition that not less than 90 percent of the accounting income for the year as
reduced by capital gains, whether realised or unrealised, is distributed amongst the unit holders. Furthermore, as per
regulation 63 of the NBFC Regulations, the Fund is required to distribute 90 percent of the net accounting income
other than capital gains to the unit holders. The Fund has not recorded any tax liability in respect of income relating to
the current period as the Management Company intends to distribute atleast 90 percent of the Fund's accounting
income for the year ending June 30, 2020 as reduced by capital gains (whether realised or unrealised) to its unit
holders.
The Fund is also exempt from the provisions of section 113 (minimum tax) under clause 11A of Part IV of the Second
Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. Consequently, differences can arise between carrying values
and the fair value estimates.
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.
Financial assets which are tradable in an open market are revalued at the market prices prevailing on the statement of
assets and liabilities date. The estimated fair value of all other financial assets and liabilities is considered not to be
significantly different from the respective book values.
International Financial Reporting Standard 13, 'Fair Value Measurement' requires the Fund to classify assets 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: Fair value measurements using quoted price (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets or
liabilities.
- Level 2: Fair value measurements using inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- Level 3: Fair value measurement using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market
data (i.e. unobservable inputs).
As at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, the Fund held the following financial instruments measured at fair value:

application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates, assumptions and
judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including reasonable
expectations of future events. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively commencing from the
period of revision. In preparing the condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by
management in applying the Fund’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation and uncertainty were the
same as those applied to the financial statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2019. The Fund’s financial
risk management objectives and policies are consistent with those disclosed in the annual financial statements of the
Fund for the year ended June 30, 2019.
4.3 Amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are effective in the current period
There are certain amendments to the published accounting and reporting standards that are mandatory for the Fund's
annual accounting period beginning on July 1, 2019. However, these do not have any significant impact on the Fund's
operations and, therefore, have not been detailed in these condensed interim financial statements.
4.4 Standards, interpretations and amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are not yet
effective
The following amendments would be effective from the dates mentioned below against the respective amendment:
These amendments may impact the financial statements of the Fund on adoption. The Management is currently in the
process of assessing the full impact of these amendments on the financial statements of the Fund.
There are certain new standards, interpretations and amendments to the accounting and reporting standards that are
mandatory for the Fund's annual accounting period beginning on or after July 1, 2020. However, these do not have any
significant impact on the Fund's operations and, therefore, have not been detailed in these condensed interim financial
statements.
5.1 The balance in saving accounts have an expected profit ranging from 3.82% to 11.50% per annum (June 30, 2019:

*The right certificates w ere exercised during the period and the shares are included in the investment in Hascol Petroleum Limited and Maple Leaf Cement Factory Limited.
6.1.1 All shares have a nominal value of Rs 10 each except for the shares of K-Electric Limited which have nominal value of
Rs 3.50 each and Thal Limited having nominal value of Rs. 5 each.
6.1.2 Investments include 682,000 shares (June 30, 2019: 682,000 shares) of Pakistan Petroleum Limited having market
value of Rs 93.529 million as at December 31, 2019 (June 30, 2019: Rs 98.50 million), which have been pledged with
National Clearing Company of Pakistan Limited for guaranteeing settlement of the Fund's trades in accordance with
Circular No. 11 dated October 23, 2007 issued by the SECP.
6.2 The Finance Act, 2014 introduced amendments to the Income Tax Ordinance 2001 as a result of which companies
were liable to withhold five percent of the bonus shares to be issued. The shares so withheld were only to be released
if the Fund deposits tax equivalent to five percent of the value of the bonus shares issued to the Fund including bonus
shares withheld, determined on the basis of day-end price on the first day of closure of books of the issuing company.
5
In this regard, a constitutional petition had been filed by Collective Investment Schemes (CISs) through their Trustees
in the High Court of Sindh, challenging the applicability of withholding tax provisions on bonus shares received by
CISs. The petition was based on the fact that because CISs are exempt from deduction of income tax under Clause 99
Part I to the Second Schedule of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001, the withholding tax provision should also not be
applicable on bonus shares received by CISs. A stay order had been granted by the Honourable High Court of Sindh in
favour of CISs.
During the year ended June 30, 2018, the Supreme Court of Pakistan passed a judgement on June 27, 2018 whereby
the suits which are already pending or shall be filed in future must only be continued / entertained on the condition that
a minimum of 50 percent of the tax calculated by the tax authorities is deposited with the authorities. Accordingly, the
CISs were required to pay minimum 50% of the tax calculated by the tax authorities for the case to remain continued.
The CISs failed to deposit the minimum 50% of the tax liability and accordingly the stay got vacated automatically
during the year ended June 30, 2019. During the period ended December 31, 2019, the CISs have filed a fresh
constitutional petition via CP 4653 dated July 11, 2019. In this regard, on July 15, 2019, the Honourable High of Sindh
has issued notices to the relevant parties and has ordered that no third party interest on bonus shares issued to the
Funds in lieu of their investments be created in the meantime. The matter is still pending adjudication and the Funds
have included these shares in their portfolio, as the management is confident that the decision of the constitutional
petition will be in favour of the CISs.
Finance Act, 2018 effective from July 1, 2018 has omitted Section 236M of Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 requiring
every company quoted on stock exchange issuing bonus shares to the shareholders of the company, to withhold five
percent of the bonus shares to be issued. Therefore, bonus shares issued to the Fund during the period were not
withheld by the investee companies.
As at December 31, 2019, the bonus shares of the Fund withheld by certain companies at the time of declaration of
bonus shares amounted to Rs. 1.161 million (June 30, 2019: Rs. 0.883 million).
There were no contingencies and commitments outstanding as at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019.
In accordance with the NBFC Regulations, a Collective Investment Scheme (CIS) is required to pay annual fee to the
Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
Effective from July 1, 2019, the SECP vide SRO No. 685(I)/2019 dated June 28, 2019, revised the rate of annual fee to
0.02% of net assets, applicable on all categories of CISs. Previously, the rate of annual fee applicable to equity funds
was 0.095%. Accordingly, the Fund has charged SECP Fee at the rate of 0.02% of net assets during the current
period.
9.1 The Finance Act, 2013 enlarged the scope of Federal Excise Duty (FED) on financial services to include Asset
Management Companies (AMCs) as a result of which FED at the rate of 16 percent on the remuneration of the
Management Company and sales load was applicable with effect from June 13, 2013. The Management Company was
of the view that since the remuneration was already subject to provincial sales tax, further levy of FED would result in
double taxation which did not appear to be the spirit of the law. Hence, on September 4, 2013 a constitutional petition
was filed with the Sindh High Court (SHC) by the Management Company together with various other asset
management companies challenging the levy of FED.
6
With effect from July 1, 2016, FED on services provided or rendered by non-banking financial institutions dealing in
services which are subject to provincial sales tax has been withdrawn by the Finance Act, 2016.
During the year ended June 30, 2017, the SHC passed an order whereby all notices, proceedings taken or pending,
orders made, duty recovered or actions taken under the Federal Excise Act, 2005 in respect of the rendering or
providing of services (to the extent as challenged in any relevant petition) were set aside. In response to this, the
Deputy Commissioner Inland Revenue has filed a Civil Petition for leave to appeal in the Supreme Court of Pakistan
which is pending adjudication.
In view of the above, the Fund has discontinued making further provision in respect of FED on remuneration of the
Management Company with effect from July 1, 2016. However, as a matter of abundant caution the provision for FED
made for the period from June 13, 2013 till June 30, 2016 amounting to Rs 6.238 million is being retained in the
condensed interim financial statements of the Fund as the matter is pending before the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
Had the provision not been made, the NAV per unit of the Fund would have been higher by Re 0.21 (June 30, 2019:
Re 0.22) per unit.
9.2 As a consequence of the 18th amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan, in May 2015 the Sindh Workers’ Welfare
Fund Act, 2014 (SWWF Act) had been passed by the Government of Sindh as a result of which every industrial
establishment located in the Province of Sindh, the total income of which in any accounting year is not less than Rs
0.50 million, was required to pay Sindh Workers’ Welfare Fund (SWWF) in respect of that year a sum equal to two
percent of such income. The matter was taken up by the MUFAP with the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) collectively on
behalf of various asset management companies and their CISs whereby it was contested that mutual funds should be
excluded from the ambit of the SWWF Act as these were not industrial establishments but were pass through
investment vehicles and did not employ workers. The SRB held that mutual funds were included in the definition of
financial institutions as per the Financial Institution (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001 and were, hence, required
to register and pay SWWF under the SWWF Act. Thereafter, MUFAP had taken up the matter with the Sindh Finance
Ministry to have CISs / mutual funds excluded from the applicability of SWWF. In view of the above developments
regarding the applicability of SWWF on CISs/mutual funds, MUFAP recommended that, as a matter of abundant
caution, provision in respect of SWWF should be made on a prudent basis with effect from the date of enactment of
the SWWF Act, 2014 (i.e. starting from May 21, 2015).
Had the provision for SWWF not been recorded in the condensed interim financial statements of the Fund for the
period from May 21, 2015 to December 31, 2019, the net asset value of the Fund as at December 31, 2019 would
have been higher by Re. 0.55 per unit (June 30, 2019: Re 0.32 per unit).
Connected persons include Al Meezan Investment Management Limited being the Management Company, Central
Depository Company of Pakistan Limited being the Trustee, Meezan Bank Limited being the holding company of the
Management Company, Directors and Executives of the Management Company, other funds under the common
management of the Management Company, Pakistan Kuwait Investment Company (Private) Limited being the
associated company of the Management Company, Al Meezan Investment Management Limited - Employees Gratuity
Fund and unit holders holding 10 percent or more of the Fund's net assets.
Transactions with connected persons are in the normal course of business, at contracted rates and terms determined
in accordance with market rates.
Remuneration payable to the Management Company and the Trustee is determined in accordance with the provision
of the NBFC Rules, the NBFC Regulations and the Trust Deed respectively.
Details of transactions with connected persons and balances with them are as follows:
11 ALLOCATED EXPENSES
In accordance with Regulation 60 of the NBFC Regulations, the Management Company is entitled to charge fees and
expenses related to registrar services, accounting, operation and valuation services, related to a Collective Investment
Scheme (CIS).
Until June 19, 2019 there was a maximum cap of 0.1% of the average annual net assets of the scheme or actual
whichever is less, for allocation of such expense to the Fund. However, the SECP vide its SRO 639 dated June 20,
2019 removed the maximum cap of 0.1%.
The management company based on its own discretion has currently fixed a maximum capping of 0.1% of the average
annual net assets of the scheme for allocation of such expenses to the Fund.
The Total Expense Ratio (TER) of the Fund for the period ended December 31, 2019 is 2.94% which include 1.09%
representing government levy, Sindh Workers' Welfare Fund and SECP fee.
13 TAXATION
The Fund's income is exempt from income tax as per clause (99) of part I of the Second Schedule to the Income Tax
Ordinance, 2001 subject to the condition that not less than 90 percent of the accounting income for the year as
reduced by capital gains, whether realised or unrealised, is distributed amongst the unit holders. Furthermore, as per
regulation 63 of the NBFC Regulations, the Fund is required to distribute atleast 90 percent of the net accounting
income other than capital gains to the unit holders. The Fund has not recorded any tax liability in respect of income
relating to the current period as the Management Company intends to distribute at least 90 percent of the Fund's
accounting income for the year ending June 30, 2020 as reduced by capital gains (whether realised or unrealised) to
its unit holders.
The Fund is also exempt from the provisions of section 113 (minimum tax) under clause 11A of Part IV of the Second
Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. Consequently, differences can arise between carrying values
and the fair value estimates.
9
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.
Financial assets which are tradeable in an open market are revalued at market prices prevailing on the statement of
assets and liabilities date. The estimated fair value of all other financial assets and liabilities is considered not to be
significantly different from the respective book values.
International Financial Reporting Standard 13, 'Fair Value Measurement' requires the Fund to classify assets 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: Fair value measurements using quoted price (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets or
liabilities.
- Level 2: Fair value measurements using inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- Level 3: Fair value measurement using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market
data (i.e. unobservable inputs).
As at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, the Fund held the following financial instruments measured at fair value:

15.1 Figures have been rounded off to the nearest thousand rupees.
15.2 Corresponding figures have been reclassified and rearranged in these condensed interim financial statements,

made in these condensed interim financial statements.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

issued by the Shariah Advisor and are accounted for on substance rather than the form prescribed by the earlier
referred guidelines. This practice is being followed to comply with the requirements of the accounting and reporting
standards as applicable in Pakistan.
3. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting and reporting
standards as applicable in Pakistan for interim financial reporting. The accounting and reporting standards applicable
in Pakistan for interim financial reporting comprise of:
- International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB) as notified under the Companies Act, 2017;

Ordinance, 1984; and
- the Non-Banking Finance Companies (Establishment and Regulation) Rules, 2003 (the NBFC Rules), the Non-
Banking Finance Companies and Notified Entities Regulations, (the NBFC Regulations) and the requirements of
the Trust Deed.
Where provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017, part VIIIA of the repealed Companies
Ordinance 1984, the NBFC Rules, the NBFC Regulations and the requirements of the Trust Deed differ with the
requirements of IAS 34, the provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017, part VIIIA of the
repealed Companies Ordinance 1984, the NBFC Rules, the NBFC Regulations and the requirements of the Trust
Deed have been followed.
2
The disclosures made in these condensed interim financial statements have, however, been limited based on the
requirements of the International Accounting Standard 34: 'Interim Financial Reporting'. These condensed interim
financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in a full set of financial statements and
should be read in conjunction with the annual published audited financial statements of the Fund for the year ended
June 30, 2019.
These condensed interim financial statements are unaudited. However, a limited scope review has been performed by
the statutory auditors. In compliance with Schedule V of the NBFC Regulations, the directors of the Management
Company declare that these condensed interim financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of
the Fund as at December 31, 2019.
4.1 The accounting policies adopted and the methods of computation of balances used in the preparation of these
condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the preparation of the annual financial
statements of the Fund for the year ended June 30, 2019.
4.2 The preparation of these condensed interim financial statements in conformity with accounting and reporting standards
as applicable in Pakistan require management to make estimates, assumptions and use judgments that affect the
application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates, assumptions and
judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including reasonable
expectations of future events. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively commencing from the
period of revision. In preparing the condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by
management in applying the Fund’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation and uncertainty were the
same as those applied to the financial statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2019. The Fund’s financial
risk management objectives and policies are consistent with those disclosed in the annual financial statements of the
Fund for the year ended June 30, 2019.
4.3 Amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are effective in the current period
There are certain amendments to the published accounting and reporting standards that are mandatory for the Fund's
annual accounting period beginning on July 1, 2019. However, these do not have any significant impact on the Fund's
operations and, therefore, have not been detailed in these condensed interim financial statements.
4.4 Standards, interpretations and amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are not yet
effective
The following amendments would be effective from the dates mentioned below against the respective amendment:
These amendments may impact the financial statements of the Fund on adoption. The Management is currently in the
process of assessing the full impact of these amendments on the financial statements of the Fund.
There are certain new standards and amendments to the accounting and reporting standards that are mandatory for
the Fund's annual accounting period beginning on or after July 1, 2020. However, these do not have any significant
impact on the Fund's operations and, therefore, have not been detailed in these condensed interim financial
statements.
5.1 The balance in saving accounts have an expected profit ranging from 3.00% to 13.50% per annum (June 30, 2019:

6.1.1 All shares have a nominal value of Rs 10 each except for the shares of K-Electric Limited which has face value of Rs
3.5 each.
6.2 The Finance Act, 2014 introduced amendments to the Income Tax Ordinance 2001 as a result of which companies
were liable to withhold five percent of the bonus shares to be issued. The shares so withheld were only to be released
if the Fund deposits tax equivalent to five percent of the value of the bonus shares issued to the Fund including bonus
shares withheld, determined on the basis of day-end price on the first day of closure of books of the issuing company.
In this regard, a constitutional petition had been filed by Collective Investment Schemes (CISs) through their Trustees
in the High Court of Sindh, challenging the applicability of withholding tax provisions on bonus shares received by
CISs. The petition was based on the fact that because CISs are exempt from deduction of income tax under Clause 99
Part I to the Second Schedule of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001, the withholding tax provision should also not be
applicable on bonus shares received by CISs. A stay order had been granted by the Honourable High Court of Sindh
in favour of CISs.
4
During the year ended June 30, 2018, the Supreme Court of Pakistan passed a judgement on June 27, 2018 whereby
the suits which are already pending or shall be filed in future must only be continued / entertained on the condition that
a minimum of 50 percent of the tax calculated by the tax authorities is deposited with the authorities. Accordingly, the
CISs were required to pay minimum 50% of the tax calculated by the tax authorities for the case to remain continued.
The CISs failed to deposit the minimum 50% of the tax liability and accordingly the stay got vacated automatically
during the year ended June 30, 2019. During the period ended December 31, 2019, the CISs have filed a fresh
constitutional petition via CP 4653 dated July 11, 2019. In this regard, on July 15, 2019, the Honourable High of Sindh
has issued notices to the relevant parties and has ordered that no third party interest on bonus shares issued to the
Funds in lieu of their investments be created in the meantime. The matter is still pending adjudication and the Funds
have included these shares in their portfolio, as the management is confident that the decision of the constitutional
petition will be in favour of the CISs.
Finance Act, 2018 effective from July 1, 2018 has omitted Section 236M of Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 requiring
every company quoted on stock exchange issuing bonus shares to the shareholders of the company, to withhold five
percent of the bonus shares to be issued. Therefore, bonus shares issued to the Fund during the period were not
withheld by the investee companies.
As at December 31, 2019, the bonus shares of the Fund withheld by certain companies at the time of declaration of
bonus shares amounted to Rs. 0.931 million (June 30, 2019: Rs. 0.824 million).
In accordance with the NBFC Regulations, a Collective Investment Scheme (CIS) is required to pay annual fee to the
Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
Effective from July 1, 2019, the SECP vide SRO No. 685(I)/2019 dated June 28, 2019, revised the rate of annual fee
to 0.02% of net assets, applicable on all categories of CISs. Previously, the rate of annual fee applicable to equity
funds was 0.095%. Accordingly, the Fund has charged SECP Fee at the rate of 0.02% of net assets during the current
period.
There were no contingencies and commitments outstanding as at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019.
9.1 As a consequence of the 18th amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan, in May 2015 the Sindh Workers’ Welfare
Fund Act, 2014 (SWWF Act) had been passed by the Government of Sindh as a result of which every industrial
establishment located in the Province of Sindh, the total income of which in any accounting year is not less than Rs
0.50 million, is required to pay Sindh Workers’ Welfare Fund (SWWF) in respect of that year a sum equal to two
percent of such income. The matter was taken up by the MUFAP with the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) collectively on
behalf of various asset management companies and their CISs whereby it was contested that mutual funds should be
excluded from the ambit of the SWWF Act as these were not industrial establishments but were pass through
investment vehicles and did not employ workers. The SRB held that mutual funds were included in the definition of
financial institutions as per the Financial Institution (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001 and were, hence, required
to register and pay SWWF under the SWWF Act. Thereafter, MUFAP has taken up the matter with the Sindh Finance
Ministry to have CISs / mutual funds excluded from the applicability of SWWF. In view of the above developments
regarding the applicability of SWWF on CISs / mutual funds, the MUFAP had recommended that as a matter of
abundant caution provision in respect of SWWF should be made on a prudent basis with effect from the date of
enactment of the SWWF Act (i.e. starting from May 21, 2015).
5
Had the provision for SWWF not been recorded in the condensed interim financial statements of the Fund for the
period from November 30, 2016 to December 31, 2019, the net asset value per unit of the Fund as at December 31,
2019 would have been higher by Re 0.20 (June 30, 2019: Re 0.09).
Connected persons include Al Meezan Investment Management Limited being the Management Company, the Central
Depository Company of Pakistan Limited being the Trustee, Meezan Bank Limited being the holding company of the
Management Company, Directors and Executives of the Management Company, other Funds under the common
management of the Management Company, Pakistan Kuwait Investment Company (Private) Limited being the
associated company of the Management Company, Al Meezan Investment Management Limited - Employees Gratuity
Fund and unitholders holding 10 percent or more of the Fund's net assets.
Transactions with connected persons / related parties are in the normal course of business, at contracted rates and
terms determined in accordance with market rates.
Remuneration payable to the Management Company and the Trustee is determined in accordance with the provisions
of the NBFC Rules, the NBFC Regulations and the Trust Deed.
In accordance with Regulation 60 of the NBFC Regulations, the Management Company is entitled to charge fees and
expenses related to registrar services, accounting, operation and valuation services, related to a Collective Investment
Scheme (CIS).
Until June 19, 2019 there was a maximum cap of 0.1% of the average annual net assets of the scheme or actual
whichever is less, for allocation of such expense to the Fund. However, the SECP vide its SRO 639 dated June 20,
2019 removed the maximum cap of 0.1%.
The management company based on its own discretion has currently fixed a maximum capping of 0.1% of the average
annual net assets of the scheme for allocation of such expenses to the Fund.
The SECP has allowed the Asset Management Companies to charge selling and marketing expenses to all categories
of open-end mutual funds (except fund of funds) initially for a period of three years (i.e from January 1, 2017 till
December 31, 2019). The maximum cap of selling and marketing expense was 0.4% per annum of the net assets of
the Fund or actual expenses whichever is lower.
During the current period, the SECP through its circular 11 dated July 5, 2019 has revised the conditions for charging
of selling and marketing expenses to a Fund. As per the revised guidelines, the maximum cap of 0.4% per annum has
been lifted and now the asset management company is required to set a maximum limit for charging of such expense
to the Fund and the same should be approved by the Board as part of annual plan. Furthermore, the time limit of three
years has also been removed in the revised conditions.
Accordingly, the management company based on its own discretion has currently determined a capping of 0.4% of the
average annual net assets of the fund for charging of selling and marketing expenses to the Fund which has also been
approved by the Board.
The Total Expense Ratio (TER) of the Fund for the period ended December 31, 2019 is 4.26% which includes 0.88%
representing government levies, Sindh Workers' Welfare Fund and SECP Fee.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. Consequently, differences can arise between carrying values
and the fair value estimates.
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.
Financial assets which are tradable in an open market are revalued at the market prices prevailing on the statement of
assets and liabilities date. The estimated fair value of all other financial assets and liabilities is considered not to be
significantly different from the respective book values.
7
International Financial Reporting Standard 13, 'Fair Value Measurement' requires the Fund to classify assets 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: Fair value measurements using quoted price (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets or
liabilities.
- Level 2: Fair value measurements using inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- Level 3: Fair value measurement using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market
data (i.e. unobservable inputs).
As at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, the Fund held the following financial instruments measured at fair value:
15. TAXATION
The Fund's income is exempt from income tax as per clause (99) of part I of the Second Schedule to the Income Tax
Ordinance, 2001 subject to the condition that not less than 90 percent of the accounting income for the year as
reduced by capital gains, whether realised or unrealised, is distributed amongst the unitholders. Furthermore, as per
regulation 63 of the NBFC Regulations, the Fund is required to distribute 90 percent of the net accounting income
other than capital gains to the unit holders. The Fund has not recorded any tax liability in respect of income relating to
the current period as the Management Company intends to distribute atleast 90 percent of the Fund's accounting
income for the year ending June 30, 2020 as reduced by capital gains (whether realised or unrealised) to its unit
holders.
The Fund is also exempt from the provisions of section 113 (minimum tax) under clause 11A of Part IV of the Second
Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
16. GENERAL
Corresponding figures have been reclassified and rearranged in these condensed interim financial statements,
wherever necessary, for the purpose of better presentation. No significant rearrangements or reclassifications were
made in these condensed interim financial statements.

1.1 Meezan Balanced Fund (the Fund) was initially established as a closed-end scheme under a Trust Deed executed
between Al Meezan Investment Management Limited as the Management Company and Central Depository Company
of Pakistan Limited (CDC) as the Trustee. The Trust Deed was executed on June 15, 2004 and was approved by the
Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) on September 8, 2004 under the Non-Banking Finance
Companies (Establishment and Regulation) Rules, 2003 (the NBFC Rules) and Non-Banking Finance Companies and
Notified Entities Regulations, 2008 (the NBFC Regulations). The registered office of the Management Company is
situated at Ground Floor, Block 'B', Finance and Trade Centre, Shahrah-e-Faisal, Karachi 74400, Pakistan.
Subsequently, on May 3, 2013, SECP vide its letter No. SCD/AMCW/MBF /512/2013 had approved the conversion of
the closed end structure into an open end scheme through the establishment of the Unit Trust Scheme under the
name of Meezan Balanced Fund (MBF). On June 27, 2013, SECP vide its letter No SCD/AMCW/MBF/613/2013
registered MBF (the open-end scheme) as a notified entity and had withdrawn the registration of MBF as a closed end
scheme with effect from the effective date i.e. July 1, 2013 and therefore from July 1, 2013, the Fund had been

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The transactions undertaken by the Fund are in accordance with the process prescribed under the Shariah guidelines
issued by the Shariah Advisor and are accounted for on substance rather than the form prescribed by the earlier
referred guidelines. This practice is being followed to comply with the requirements of the accounting and reporting
standards as applicable in Pakistan.
3. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting and reporting
standards as applicable in Pakistan. The accounting and reporting standards applicable in Pakistan comprise of:
- International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB) as notified under the Companies Act, 2017;
- Provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017, along with part VIIIA of the repealed
Companies Ordinance, 1984; and
- the Non-Banking Finance Companies (Establishment and Regulation) Rules, 2003 (the NBFC Rules), the Non-
Banking Finance Companies and Notified Entities Regulations, 2008 (the NBFC Regulations) and the
requirements of the Trust Deed.
2
Where provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017, part VIIIA of the repealed Companies
Ordinance 1984, the NBFC Rules, the NBFC Regulations and the requirements of the Trust Deed differ from the
International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, the provisions of and directives issued under
the Companies Act, 2017, part VIIIA of the repealed Companies Ordinance 1984, the NBFC Rules, the NBFC
Regulations and the requirements of the Trust Deed have been followed.
The disclosures made in these condensed interim financial statements have, however, been limited based on the
requirements of the International Accounting Standard 34: 'Interim Financial Reporting'. These condensed interim
financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in a full set of financial statements and
should be read in conjunction with the annual published audited financial statements of the Fund for the year ended
June 30, 2019.
These condensed interim financial statements are unaudited. However, a limited scope review has been performed
by the statutory auditors. In compliance with Schedule V of the NBFC Regulations, the directors of the Management
Company declare that these condensed interim financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of
the Fund as at December 31, 2019.
4.1 The accounting policies adopted and the methods of computation of balances used in the preparation of these
condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the preparation of the annual financial
statements of the Fund for the year ended June 30, 2019.
4.2 The preparation of the condensed interim financial statements in conformity with accounting and reporting standards
as applicable in Pakistan requires management to make estimates, assumptions and use judgments that affect the
application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates, assumptions and
judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including reasonable
expectations of future events. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively commencing from the
period of revision. In preparing the condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by
management in applying the Fund’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation and uncertainty were the
same as those applied to the financial statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2019. The Fund’s financial
risk management objectives and policies are consistent with those disclosed in the annual financial statements for the
year ended June 30, 2019.
4.3 Standards and amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are effective in the current
period
There are certain amendments to the published accounting and reporting standards that are mandatory for the Fund's
annual accounting period beginning on July 1, 2019. However, these do not have any significant impact on the Fund's
operations and, therefore, have not been detailed in these condensed interim financial statements.
4.4 Standards, interpretations and amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are not yet
effective
The following amendments would be effective from the dates mentioned below against the respective amendment:
These amendments may impact the financial statements of the Fund on adoption. The Management is currently in the
process of assessing the full impact of these amendments on the financial statements of the Fund.
There are certain new standards and amendments to the accounting and reporting standards that are mandatory for
the Fund's annual accounting period beginning on or after July 1, 2020. However, these do not have any significant
impact on the Fund's operations and, therefore, have not been detailed in these condensed interim financial
statements.

6.1.1.1 All shares have a nominal value of Rs. 10 each except for the shares of K-Electric Limited which have a nominal
value of Rs. 3.50 each and Agriauto Industies limited having a nominal value of Rs. 5 each.
6.1.1.2 The Finance Act, 2014 introduced amendments to the Income Tax Ordinance 2001 as a result of which companies
are liable to withhold five percent of the bonus shares to be issued. The shares so withheld shall only be released if
the Fund deposits tax equivalent to five percent of the value of the bonus shares issued to the Fund including bonus
shares withheld, determined on the basis of day-end price on the first day of closure of books of the issuing company.
In this regard, a constitutional petition had been filed by Collective Investment Schemes (CISs) through their Trustees
in the High Court of Sindh, challenging the applicability of withholding tax provisions on bonus shares received by
CISs. The petition was based on the fact that because CISs are exempt from deduction of income tax under Clause
99 Part I to the Second Schedule of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001, the withholding tax provision should also not be
applicable on bonus shares received by CISs. A stay order had been granted by the Honourable High Court of Sindh
in favour of CISs.
During the year ended June 30, 2018, the Supreme Court of Pakistan passed a judgement on June 27, 2018 whereby
the suits which are already pending or shall be filed in future must only be continued / entertained on the condition
that a minimum of 50 percent of the tax calculated by the tax authorities is deposited with the authorities. Accordingly,
the CISs were required to pay minimum 50% of the tax calculated by the tax authorities for the case to remain
continued. The CISs failed to deposit the minimum 50% of the tax liability and accordingly the stay got vacated
automatically during the year ended June 30, 2019. During the period ended December 31, 2019, the CISs have filed
a fresh constitutional petition via CP 4653 dated July 11, 2019. In this regard, on July 15, 2019, the Honourable High
of Sindh has issued notices to the relevant parties and has ordered that no third party interest on bonus shares issued
to the Funds in lieu of their investments be created in the meantime. The matter is still pending adjudication and the
Funds have included these shares in their portfolio, as the management is confident that the decision of the
constitutional petition will be in favour of the CISs.
6
Finance Act, 2018 effective from July 1, 2018 has omitted Section 236M of Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 requiring
every company quoted on stock exchange issuing bonus shares to the shareholders of the company, to withhold five
percent of the bonus shares to be issued. Therefore, bonus shares issued to the Fund during the period were not
withheld by the investee companies.
6.1.1.3 Investments include 150,000 shares of Engro Corporation Limited, having market value of Rs 51.788 million as at
December 31, 2019 (June 30, 2019: Rs. 39.84 million) which have been pledged with National Clearing Company of
Pakistan Limited for guaranteeing settlement of the Fund's trades in accordance with Circular No. 11 dated October
23, 2007 issued by the SECP.

There were no contingencies and commitments outstanding as at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019.
In accordance with the NBFC Regulations, a Collective Investment Scheme (CIS) is required to pay annual fee to the
Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
Effective from July 1, 2019, the SECP vide SRO No. 685(I)/2019 dated June 28, 2019, revised the rate of annual fee
to 0.02% of net assets, applicable on all categories of CISs. Previously, the rate of annual fee applicable to balanced
fund was 0.095%. Accordingly, the Fund has charged SECP Fee at the rate of 0.02% of net assets during the current
period.
9.1 As a consequence of the 18th amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan, in May 2015 the Sindh Workers’ Welfare
Fund Act, 2014 (SWWF Act) had been passed by the Government of Sindh as a result of which every industrial
establishment located in the Province of Sindh, the total income of which in any accounting year is not less than Rs
0.50 million, was required to pay Sindh Workers’ Welfare Fund (SWWF) in respect of that year a sum equal to two
percent of such income. The matter was taken up by the MUFAP with the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) collectively on
behalf of various asset management companies and their CISs whereby it was contested that mutual funds should be
excluded from the ambit of the SWWF Act as these were not industrial establishments but were pass through
investment vehicles and did not employ workers. The SRB held that mutual funds were included in the definition of
financial institutions as per the Financial Institution (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001 and were, hence,
required to register and pay SWWF under the SWWF Act. Thereafter, MUFAP had taken up the matter with the Sindh
Finance Ministry to have CISs / mutual funds excluded from the applicability of SWWF. In view of the above
developments regarding the applicability of SWWF on CISs/mutual funds, MUFAP recommended that, as a matter of
abundant caution, provision in respect of SWWF should be made on a prudent basis with effect from the date of
enactment of the SWWF Act, 2014 (i.e. starting from May 21, 2015).
Had the provision for SWWF not been recorded in the condensed interim financial statements of the Fund for the
period from May 21, 2015 to December 31, 2019, the net asset value of the Fund as at December 31, 2019 would
have been higher by Re. 0.17 per unit (June 30, 2019: Re 0.10 per unit).
9.2 The Finance Act, 2013 enlarged the scope of Federal Excise Duty (FED) on financial services to include Asset
Management Companies (AMCs) as a result of which FED at the rate of 16 percent on the remuneration of the
Management Company and sales load was applicable with effect from June 13, 2013. The Management Company
was of the view that since the remuneration was already subject to provincial sales tax, further levy of FED would
result in double taxation which did not appear to be the spirit of the law. Hence, on September 4, 2013 a constitutional
petition was filed with the Sindh High Court (SHC) by the Management Company together with various other asset
management companies challenging the levy of FED.
With effect from 01 July 2016, FED on services provided or rendered by non-banking financial institutions dealing in
services which are subject to provincial sales tax has been withdrawn by the Finance Act, 2016.
During the year ended 30 June 2017, the SHC passed an order whereby all notices, proceedings taken or pending,
orders made, duty recovered or actions taken under the Federal Excise Act, 2005 in respect of the rendering or
providing of services (to the extent as challenged in any relevant petition) were set aside. In response to this, the
Deputy Commissioner Inland Revenue has filed a Civil Petition for leave to appeal in the Supreme Court of Pakistan
which is pending adjudication.
In view of the above, the Fund has discontinued making further provision in respect of FED on remuneration of the
Management Company with effect from July 01, 2016. However, as a matter of abundant caution the provision for
FED made for the period from June 13, 2013 till June 30, 2016 amounting to Rs 38.799 million is being retained in the
condensed interim financial statements of the Fund as the matter is pending before the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
Had the provision not been made, the NAV per unit of the Fund would have been higher by Re 0.13 (June 30, 2019:
Re 0.10) per unit.
Connected persons include Al Meezan Investment Management Limited being the Management Company, Central
Depository Company of Pakistan Limited being the Trustee, Meezan Bank Limited being the holding company of the
Management Company, directors and executives of the Management Company, other funds under the common
management of the Management Company, Pakistan Kuwait Investment Company (Private) Limited being the
associated company of the Management Company and Al Meezan Investment Management Limited - Employees
Gratuity Fund and unitholders holding 10 percent or more units of the Fund's net assets.
Transactions with connected persons are in the normal course of business, at contracted rates and terms determined
in accordance with market rates.
Remuneration payable to the Management Company and the trustee is determined in accordance with the provisions
of the NBFC Rules, the NBFC Regulations and the Trust Deed respectively.
10
Details of transactions with connected persons and balances with them are as follows:
In accordance with Regulation 60 of the NBFC Regulations, the Management Company is entitled to charge fees and
expenses related to registrar services, accounting, operation and valuation services, related to a Collective
Investment Scheme (CIS).
Until June 19, 2019 there was a maximum cap of 0.1% of the average annual net assets of the scheme or actual
whichever is less, for allocation of such expense to the Fund. However, the SECP vide its SRO 639 dated June 20,
2019 removed the maximum cap of 0.1%.
The management company based on its own discretion has currently fixed a maximum capping of 0.1% of the
average annual net assets of the scheme for allocation of such expenses to the Fund.
The Total Expense Ratio (TER) of the Fund for the period ended December 31, 2019 is 3.66% which include 0.83%
representing government levy and SECP fee.
13. TAXATION
The Fund's income is exempt from income tax as per clause (99) of part I of the Second Schedule to the Income Tax
Ordinance, 2001 subject to the condition that not less than 90 percent of the accounting income for the year as
reduced by capital gains, whether realised or unrealised, is distributed amongst the unitholders. Furthermore, as per
regulation 63 of the NBFC Regulations, the Fund is required to distribute atleast 90 percent of the net accounting
income other than capital gains to the unitholders. The Fund has not recorded any tax liability in respect of income
relating to the current period as the Management Company intends to distribute at least 90 percent of the Fund's
accounting income for the year ending June 30, 2020 as reduced by capital gains (whether realised or unrealised) to
its unit holders.
The Fund is also exempt from the provisions of section 113 (minimum tax) under clause 11A of Part IV of the Second
Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
The SECP has allowed the Asset Management Companies to charge selling and marketing expenses to all categories
of open-end mutual funds (except fund of funds) initially for a period of three years (i.e from January 1, 2017 till
December 31, 2019). The maximum cap of selling and marketing expense was 0.4% per annum of the net assets of
the Fund or actual expenses whichever is lower.
During the current period, the SECP through its circular 11 dated July 5, 2019 has revised the conditions for charging
of selling and marketing expenses to a Fund. As per the revised guidelines, the maximum cap of 0.4% per annum has
been lifted and now the asset management company is required to set a maximum limit for charging of such expense
to the Fund and the same should be approved by the Board as part of annual plan. Furthermore, the time limit of
three years has also been removed in the revised conditions.
Accordingly, the management company based on its own discretion has currently determined a capping of 0.4% of
the average annual net assets of the fund for charging of selling and marketing expenses to the Fund which has also
been approved by the Board.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. Consequently, differences can arise between carrying values
and the fair value estimates.
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.
Financial assets which are tradeable in an open market are revalued at market prices prevailing on the statement of
assets and liabilities date. The estimated fair value of all other financial assets and liabilities is considered not to be
significantly different from the respective book values.
12
International Financial Reporting Standard 13, 'Fair Value Measurement' requires the Fund to classify assets 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: Fair value measurements using quoted price (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets or
liabilities.
- Level 2: Fair value measurements using inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- Level 3: Fair value measurement using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market
data (i.e. unobservable inputs).
As at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, the Fund held the following financial instruments measured at fair
value:
* The valuation of commercial papers has been done based on amortisation of commercial paper to its fair value as per the
guidelines given in Circular 33 of 2012 since the residual maturity of this investment is less than six months and are placed with
counterparties which have high credit rating.
16. GENERAL
16.1 Figures have been rounded off to the nearest thousand rupees.
16.2 Corresponding figures have been reclassified and rearranged in these condensed interim financial statements,

6.1.1 All shares have a nominal value of Rs 10 each except for the shares of K-Electric Limited which have a nominal value
of Rs 3.5 each and Agriauto Industries Limited which have a nominal value of Rs 5 each.
6.1.2 Investments include 150,000 shares (June 30, 2019: 150,000 shares) of Engro Corporation Limited, having market
value of Rs 36.25 million (June 30, 2019: Rs 27.89 million) as at December 31, 2019, which have been pledged with
National Clearing Company of Pakistan for guaranteeing settlement of Fund's trades in accordance with Circular 11
dated October 23, 2007 by SECP.
6.2 The Finance Act, 2014 introduced amendments to the Income Tax Ordinance 2001 as a result of which companies
were liable to withhold five percent of the bonus shares to be issued. The shares so withheld were only to be released
if the Fund deposits tax equivalent to five percent of the value of the bonus shares issued to the Fund including bonus
shares withheld, determined on the basis of day-end price on the first day of closure of books of the issuing company.
5
In this regard, a constitutional petition had been filed by Collective Investment Schemes (CISs) through their Trustees
in the High Court of Sindh, challenging the applicability of withholding tax provisions on bonus shares received by
CISs. The petition was based on the fact that because CISs are exempt from deduction of income tax under Clause 99
Part I to the Second Schedule of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001, the withholding tax provision should also not be
applicable on bonus shares received by CISs. A stay order had been granted by the Honourable High Court of Sindh
in favour of CISs.
During the year ended June 30, 2018, the Supreme Court of Pakistan passed a judgement on June 27, 2018 whereby
the suits which are already pending or shall be filed in future must only be continued / entertained on the condition that
a minimum of 50 percent of the tax calculated by the tax authorities is deposited with the authorities. Accordingly, the
CISs were required to pay minimum 50% of the tax calculated by the tax authorities for the case to remain continued.
The CISs failed to deposit the minimum 50% of the tax liability and accordingly the stay got vacated automatically
during the year ended June 30, 2019. During the period ended December 31, 2019, the CISs have filed a fresh
constitutional petition via CP 4653 dated July 11, 2019. In this regard, on July 15, 2019, the Honourable High of Sindh
has issued notices to the relevant parties and has ordered that no third party interest on bonus shares issued to the
Funds in lieu of their investments be created in the meantime. The matter is still pending adjudication and the Funds
have included these shares in their portfolio, as the management is confident that the decision of the constitutional
petition will be in favour of the CISs.
Finance Act, 2018 effective from July 1, 2018 has omitted Section 236M of Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 requiring
every company quoted on stock exchange issuing bonus shares to the shareholders of the company, to withhold five
percent of the bonus shares to be issued. Therefore, bonus shares issued to the Fund during the period were not
withheld by the investee companies.
As at December 31, 2019, the bonus shares of the Fund withheld by certain companies at the time of declaration of
bonus shares amounted to Rs. 1.612 million (June 30, 2019: Rs. 1.209 million).
7.1 As a consequence of the 18th amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan, in May 2015 the Sindh Workers’ Welfare
Fund Act, 2014 (SWWF Act) had been passed by the Government of Sindh as a result of which every industrial
establishment located in the Province of Sindh, the total income of which in any accounting year is not less than Rs
0.50 million, is required to pay Sindh Workers’ Welfare Fund (SWWF) in respect of that year a sum equal to two
percent of such income. The matter was taken up by the MUFAP with the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) collectively on
behalf of various asset management companies and their CISs whereby it was contested that mutual funds should be
excluded from the ambit of the SWWF Act as these were not industrial establishments but were pass through
investment vehicles and did not employ workers. The SRB held that mutual funds were included in the definition of
financial institutions as per the Financial Institution (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001 and were, hence, required
to register and pay SWWF under the SWWF Act. Thereafter, MUFAP has taken up the matter with the Sindh Finance
Ministry to have CISs / mutual funds excluded from the applicability of SWWF. In view of the above developments
regarding the applicability of SWWF on CISs/ mutual funds, the MUFAP had recommended that as a matter of
abundant caution provision in respect of SWWF should be made on a prudent basis with effect from the date of
enactment of the SWWF Act (i.e. starting from May 21, 2015).
Had the provision for SWWF not been recorded in the condensed interim financial statements, the NAV per unit of the
Fund would have been higher by Re 0.42 per unit as at December 31, 2019 (June 30, 2019 : 0.19 per unit).

7.2 The Finance Act, 2013 enlarged the scope of Federal Excise Duty (FED) on financial services to include Asset
Management Companies (AMCs) as a result of which FED at the rate of 16 percent on the remuneration of the
Management Company and sales load was applicable with effect from June 13, 2013. The Management Company
was of the view that since the remuneration was already subject to provincial sales tax, further levy of FED would
result in double taxation which did not appear to be the spirit of the law. Hence, on September 4, 2013 a constitutional
petition was filed with the Sindh High Court (SHC) by the Management Company together with various other asset
management companies challenging the levy of FED.
With effect from 01 July 2016, FED on services provided or rendered by non-banking financial institutions dealing in
services which are subject to provincial sales tax has been withdrawn by the Finance Act, 2016.
During the year ended 30 June 2017, the SHC passed an order whereby all notices, proceedings taken or pending,
orders made, duty recovered or actions taken under the Federal Excise Act, 2005 in respect of the rendering or
providing of services (to the extent as challenged in any relevant petition) were set aside. In response to this, the
Deputy Commissioner Inland Revenue has filed a Civil Petition for leave to appeal in the Supreme Court of Pakistan
which is pending adjudication.
In view of the above, the Fund has discontinued making further provision in respect of FED on remuneration of the
Management Company with effect from July 01, 2016. However, as a matter of abundant caution the provision for FED
made for the period from June 13, 2013 till June 30, 2016 amounting to Rs 0.627 million (June 30, 2019: Rs 0.627
million) is being retained in the condensed interim financial statements as the matter is pending before the Supreme
Court of Pakistan. Had the provision for FED not been made, the Net Asset Value per unit of the Fund as at December
31, 2019 would have been higher by Re 0.02 (June 30, 2019: Re 0.01) per unit.
In accordance with the NBFC Regulations, a Collective Investment Scheme (CIS) is required to pay annual fee to the
Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
Effective from July 1, 2019, the SECP vide SRO No. 685(I)/2019 dated June 28, 2019, revised the rate of annual fee
to 0.02% of net assets, applicable on all categories of CISs. Previously, the rate of annual fee applicable to equity
funds was 0.095%. Accordingly, the Fund has charged SECP Fee at the rate of 0.02% of net assets during the current
period.
There were no contingencies and commitments outstanding as at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019.
Connected persons include Al Meezan Investment Management Limited being the Management Company, the Central
Depository Company of Pakistan Limited being the Trustee, Meezan Bank Limited being the holding company of the
Management Company, Directors and Executives of the Management Company, others Funds under the common
management of the Management Company, Pakistan Kuwait Investment Company (Private) Limited being the
associated company of the Management Company, Al Meezan Investment Management Limited - Employees Gratuity
Fund and Unit holders holding 10 percent or more of the Fund's net assets.
Transactions with connected persons are in the normal course of business, at contracted rates and terms determined
in accordance with market rates.
Remuneration payable to the Management Company and the Trustee is determined in accordance with the provisions
of the NBFC Rules, the NBFC Regulations and the Trust Deed respectively.
Details of transactions with connected persons and balances with them are as follows:
In accordance with Regulation 60 of the NBFC Regulations, the Management Company is entitled to charge fees and
expenses related to registrar services, accounting, operation and valuation services, related to a Collective Investment
Scheme (CIS).
Until June 19, 2019 there was a maximum cap of 0.1% of the average annual net assets of the scheme or actual
whichever is less, for allocation of such expense to the Fund. However, the SECP vide its SRO 639 dated June 20,
2019 removed the maximum cap of 0.1%.
The management company based on its own discretion has currently fixed a maximum capping of 0.1% of the average
annual net assets of the scheme for allocation of such expenses to the Fund.

12. TAXATION
The Fund's income is exempt from income tax as per clause (99) of part I of the Second Schedule to the Income Tax
Ordinance, 2001 subject to the condition that not less than 90 percent of the accounting income for the year as
reduced by capital gains, whether realised or unrealised, is distributed amongst the unitholders. Furthermore, as per
regulation 63 of the NBFC Regulations, the Fund is required to distribute 90 percent of the net accounting income
other than capital gains to the unit holders. The Fund has not recorded any tax liability in respect of income relating to
the current period as the Management Company intends to distribute atleast 90 percent of the Fund's accounting
income for the year ending June 30, 2020 as reduced by capital gains (whether realised or unrealised) to its unit
holders.
The Fund is also exempt from the provisions of section 113 (minimum tax) under clause 11A of Part IV of the Second
Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
The Total Expense Ratio (TER) of the Fund for the period ended December 31, 2019 is 3.54% which include 0.98%
representing government levy, Sindh Workers' Welfare Fund and SECP fee.
The SECP has allowed the Asset Management Companies to charge selling and marketing expenses to all categories
of open-end mutual funds (except fund of funds) initially for a period of three years (i.e from January 1, 2017 till
December 31, 2019). The maximum cap of selling and marketing expense was 0.4% per annum of the net assets of
the Fund or actual expenses whichever is lower.
During the current period, the SECP through its circular 11 dated July 5, 2019 has revised the conditions for charging
of selling and marketing expenses to a Fund. As per the revised guidelines, the maximum cap of 0.4% per annum has
been lifted and now the asset management company is required to set a maximum limit for charging of such expense
to the Fund and the same should be approved by the Board as part of annual plan. Furthermore, the time limit of three
years has also been removed in the revised conditions.
Accordingly, the management company based on its own discretion has currently determined a capping of 0.4% of the
average annual net assets of the fund for charging of selling and marketing expenses to the Fund which has also been
approved by the Board.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. Consequently, differences can arise between carrying values
and the fair value estimates.
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.
Financial assets which are tradable in an open market are revalued at the market prices prevailing on the statement of
assets and liabilities date. The estimated fair value of all other financial assets and liabilities is considered not to be
significantly different from the respective book values.
International Financial Reporting Standard 13, 'Fair Value Measurement' requires the Fund to classify assets 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 prices (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 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 (i.e. unobservable inputs).
9
As at December 31, 2019, the Fund held the following financial instruments measured at fair values:
16. GENERAL
16.1 Figures have been rounded off to the nearest thousand rupees.
16.2 Corresponding figures have been rearranged and reclassified, wherever necessary, for the purpose of better
presentation. No significant rearrangements or reclassifications were made in these condensed interim financial
statements during the period.

1.1 Meezan Dedicated Equity Fund (the Fund) was established under a Trust Deed executed between Al Meezan
Investment Management Limited as the Management Company and the Central Depository Company of Pakistan
Limited (CDC) as the Trustee. The Trust Deed was executed on October 9, 2017 and was approved by the Securities
and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) under the Non-Banking Finance Companies (Establishment and
Regulation) Rules, 2003 (the NBFC Rules) and the Non-Banking Finance Companies and Notified Entities
Regulations, 2008 (the NBFC Regulations). The Management Company has been granted license by the SECP to act
as an Asset Management Company under the NBFC Rules through a certificate of registration issued by the SECP.
The registered office of the Management Company of the Fund is situated at Ground Floor, Block 'B', Finance and
Trade Centre, Shahrah-e-Faisal, Karachi 74400, Pakistan.
1.2 The Fund has been formed to enable the unit holders to participate in a diversified portfolio of securities, which are
Shariah compliant. Under the Trust Deed, all the conducts and acts of the Fund are based on Shariah principles. The
Management Company has appointed Meezan Bank Limited as its Shariah Advisor to ensure that the activities of the
Fund are in compliance with the principles of Shariah.
1.3 The Fund is an open-end Shariah Compliant Equity Scheme. Units are offered for public subscription on a continuous
basis. The units are transferable and can be redeemed by surrendering them to the Fund. The Fund is listed on the
Pakistan Stock Exchange.
1.4 The Management Company has been assigned a quality rating of AM1 by VIS Credit Rating Company Limited dated
December 31, 2019 (2018: AM1 dated December 28, 2018) and by PACRA dated December 28, 2019. The rating
reflects the Company’s experienced management team, structured investment process and sound quality of systems
and processes.
1.5 Title to the assets of the Fund are held in the name of CDC as the Trustee of the Fund.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The transactions undertaken by the Fund in accordance with the process prescribed under the Shariah guidelines
issued by the Shariah Advisor are accounted for on substance rather than the form prescribed by the aforementioned
guidelines. This practice is being followed to comply with the requirements of the accounting and reporting standards
as applicable in Pakistan.
3. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting and reporting
standards as applicable in Pakistan. The accounting and reporting standards applicable in Pakistan comprise of:
- International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB) as notified under the Companies Act, 2017;
- Provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017, along with part VIIIA of the repealed
Companies Ordinance, 1984; and
- the Non-Banking Finance Companies (Establishment and Regulation) Rules, 2003 (the NBFC Rules), the Non-
Banking Finance Companies and Notified Entities Regulations, 2008 (the NBFC Regulations) and the
requirements of the Trust Deed.
Where provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017, part VIIIA of the repealed Companies
Ordinance 1984, the NBFC Rules, the NBFC Regulations and the requirements of the Trust Deed differ from the
International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, the provisions of and directives issued under
the Companies Act, 2017, part VIIIA of the repealed Companies Ordinance 1984, the NBFC Rules, the NBFC
Regulations and the requirements of the Trust Deed have been followed.
The disclosures made in these condensed interim financial statements have, however, been limited based on the
requirements of the International Accounting Standard 34: 'Interim Financial Reporting'. These condensed interim
financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in a full set of financial statements and
should be read in conjunction with the annual published audited financial statements of the Fund for the year ended
June 30, 2019.
2
These condensed interim financial statements are unaudited. However, a limited scope review has been performed by
the statutory auditors. In compliance with Schedule V of the NBFC Regulations, the directors of the Management
Company declare that these condensed interim financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of
the Fund as at December 31, 2019.
4.1 The accounting policies adopted and the methods of computation of balances used in the preparation of these
condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the preparation of the annual financial
statements of the Fund for the year ended June 30, 2019.
4.2 The preparation of these condensed interim financial statements in conformity with accounting and reporting standards
as applicable in Pakistan require management to make estimates, assumptions and use judgments that affect the
application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates, assumptions and
judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including reasonable
expectations of future events. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively commencing from the
period of revision. In preparing the condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by
management in applying the Fund’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation and uncertainty were the
same as those applied to the financial statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2019. The Fund’s financial
risk management objectives and policies are consistent with those disclosed in the annual audited financial statements
of the Fund for the year ended June 30, 2019.
4.3 Amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are effective in the current period
There are certain amendments to the published accounting and reporting standards that are mandatory for the Fund's
annual accounting period beginning on July 1, 2019. However, these do not have any significant impact on the Fund's
operations and, therefore, have not been detailed in these condensed interim financial statements.
4.4 Standards, interpretations and amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are not yet
effective
The following amendments would be effective from the dates mentioned below against the respective amendment:
These amendments may impact the financial statements of the Fund on adoption. The Management is currently in the
process of assessing the full impact of these amendments on the financial statements of the Fund.
There are certain new standards, interpretations and amendments to the accounting and reporting standards that are
mandatory for the Fund's annual accounting period beginning on or after July 1, 2020. However, these do not have any
significant impact on the Fund's operations and, therefore, have not been detailed in these condensed interim financial
statements.
5.1 The balances in saving accounts have an expected profit ranging from 3.82% to 13.40% per annum. (June 30, 2019:

6.1.1 All shares have a nominal value of Rs. 10 each except for the shares of K-Electric Limited and Agriauto Industries
Limited which have a nominal value of Rs. 3.50 and Rs. 5 each respectively.
6.2 The Finance Act, 2014 introduced amendments to the Income Tax Ordinance 2001 as a result of which companies
were liable to withhold five percent of the bonus shares to be issued. The shares so withheld were only to be released
if the Fund deposits tax equivalent to five percent of the value of the bonus shares issued to the Fund including bonus
shares withheld, determined on the basis of day-end price on the first day of closure of books of the issuing company.
In this regard, a constitutional petition had been filed by Collective Investment Schemes (CISs) through their Trustees
in the High Court of Sindh, challenging the applicability of withholding tax provisions on bonus shares received by
CISs. The petition was based on the fact that because CISs are exempt from deduction of income tax under Clause 99
Part I to the Second Schedule of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001, the withholding tax provision should also not be
applicable on bonus shares received by CISs. A stay order had been granted by the Honourable High Court of Sindh
in favour of CISs.
5
During the year ended June 30, 2018, the Supreme Court of Pakistan passed a judgement on June 27, 2018 whereby
the suits which are already pending or shall be filed in future must only be continued / entertained on the condition that
a minimum of 50 percent of the tax calculated by the tax authorities is deposited with the authorities. Accordingly, the
CISs were required to pay minimum 50% of the tax calculated by the tax authorities for the case to remain continued.
The CISs failed to deposit the minimum 50% of the tax liability and accordingly the stay got vacated automatically
during the year ended June 30, 2019. During the period ended December 31, 2019, the CISs have filed a fresh
constitutional petition via CP 4653 dated July 11, 2019. In this regard, on July 15, 2019, the Honourable High of Sindh
has issued notices to the relevant parties and has ordered that no third party interest on bonus shares issued to the
Funds in lieu of their investments be created in the meantime. The matter is still pending adjudication and the Funds
have included these shares in their portfolio, as the management is confident that the decision of the constitutional
petition will be in favour of the CISs.
Finance Act, 2018 effective from July 1, 2018 has omitted Section 236M of Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 requiring
every company quoted on stock exchange issuing bonus shares to the shareholders of the company, to withhold five
percent of the bonus shares to be issued. Therefore, bonus shares issued to the Fund during the period were not
withheld by the investee companies.
As at December 31, 2019, the bonus shares of the Fund withheld by certain companies at the time of declaration of
bonus shares amounted to Rs. 0.312 million (June 30, 2019: Rs. 0.23 million).
There were no contingencies and commitments outstanding as at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019.
In accordance with the NBFC Regulations, a Collective Investment Scheme (CIS) is required to pay annual fee to the
Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
Effective from July 1, 2019, the SECP vide SRO No. 685(I)/2019 dated June 28, 2019, revised the rate of annual fee
to 0.02% of net assets, applicable on all categories of CISs. Previously, the rate of annual fee applicable to equity
funds was 0.095%. Accordingly, the Fund has charged SECP Fee at the rate of 0.02% of net assets during the current
period.

9. ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER LIABILITIES (Rupees in '000)
9.1 As a consequence of the 18th amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan, in May 2015 the Sindh Workers’ Welfare
Fund Act, 2014 (SWWF Act) had been passed by the Government of Sindh as a result of which every industrial
establishment located in the Province of Sindh, the total income of which in any accounting year is not less than Rs
0.50 million, is required to pay Sindh Workers’ Welfare Fund (SWWF) in respect of that year a sum equal to two
percent of such income. The matter was taken up by the MUFAP with the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) collectively on
behalf of various asset management companies and their CISs whereby it was contested that mutual funds should be
excluded from the ambit of the SWWF Act as these were not industrial establishments but were pass through
investment vehicles and did not employ workers. The SRB held that mutual funds were included in the definition of
financial institutions as per the Financial Institution (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001 and were, hence, required
to register and pay SWWF under the SWWF Act. Thereafter, MUFAP has taken up the matter with the Sindh Finance
Ministry to have CISs / mutual funds excluded from the applicability of SWWF. In view of the above developments
regarding the applicability of SWWF on CISs / mutual funds, the MUFAP had recommended that as a matter of
abundant caution provision in respect of SWWF should be made on a prudent basis with effect from the date of
enactment of the SWWF Act (i.e. starting from May 21, 2015).
6
Had the provision for SWWF not been recorded in the condensed interim financial statements of the Fund during the
period ended December 31, 2019, the net asset value per unit of the Fund as at December 31, 2019 would have been
higher by Re 0.000095 (June 30, 2019: Re nil).
Connected persons include Al Meezan Investment Management Limited being the Management Company, Central
Depository Company of Pakistan Limited being the Trustee, Meezan Bank Limited being the holding company of the
Management Company, Directors and executives of the Management Company, other Funds under the common
management of the Management Company, Pakistan Kuwait Investment Company (Private) Limited being the
associated company of the Management Company, Al Meezan Investment Management Limited - Employees Gratuity
Fund and unitholders holding 10 percent or more of the Fund's net assets.
Transactions with connected persons are in the normal course of business, at contracted rates and terms determined
in accordance with market rates.
Remuneration payable to the management company and the trustee is determined in accordance with the provisions
of the NBFC Rules, the NBFC Regulations and the Trust Deed respectively.
Details of transactions with connected persons and balances with them are as follows:
In accordance with Regulation 60 of the NBFC Regulations, the Management Company is entitled to charge fees and
expenses related to registrar services, accounting, operation and valuation services, related to a Collective Investment
Scheme (CIS).
Until June 19, 2019 there was a maximum cap of 0.1% of the average annual net assets of the scheme or actual
whichever is less, for allocation of such expense to the Fund. However, the SECP vide its SRO 639 dated June 20,
2019 removed the maximum cap of 0.1%.
The management company based on its own discretion has currently fixed a maximum capping of 0.1% of the average
annual net assets of the scheme for allocation of such expenses to the Fund.
9
The SECP has allowed the Asset Management Companies to charge selling and marketing expenses to all categories
of open-end mutual funds (except fund of funds) initially for a period of three years (i.e from January 1, 2017 till
December 31, 2019). The maximum cap of selling and marketing expense was 0.4% per annum of the net assets of
the Fund or actual expenses whichever is lower.
During the current period, the SECP through its circular 11 dated July 5, 2019 has revised the conditions for charging
of selling and marketing expenses to a Fund. As per the revised guidelines, the maximum cap of 0.4% per annum has
been lifted and now the asset management company is required to set a maximum limit for charging of such expense
to the Fund and the same should be approved by the Board as part of annual plan. Furthermore, the time limit of three
years has also been removed in the revised conditions.
Accordingly, the management company based on its own discretion has currently determined a capping of 0.4% of the
average annual net assets of the fund for charging of selling and marketing expenses to the Fund which has also been
approved by the Board.
The Total Expense Ratio of the Fund for the half year ended December 31, 2019 is 4.05% which includes 0.81%
representing government levy, Sindh Workers' Welfare Fund and SECP fee.
14. TAXATION
The Fund's income is exempt from income tax as per clause (99) of part I of the Second Schedule to the Income Tax
Ordinance, 2001 subject to the condition that not less than 90 percent of the accounting income for the year as
reduced by capital gains, whether realised or unrealised, is distributed amongst the unit holders. Furthermore, as per
regulation 63 of the NBFC Regulations, the Fund is required to distribute atleast 90 percent of the net accounting
income other than capital gains to the unit holders. The Fund has not recorded any tax liability in respect of income
relating to the current period as the Management Company intends to distribute at least 90 percent of the Fund's
accounting income for the year ending June 30, 2020 as reduced by capital gains (whether realised or unrealised) to
its unit holders.
The Fund is also exempt from the provisions of section 113 (minimum tax) under clause 11A of Part IV of the Second
Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. Consequently, differences can arise between carrying values
and the fair value estimates.
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.
Financial assets which are tradeable in an open market are revalued at market prices prevailing on the statement of
assets and liabilities date. The estimated fair value of all other financial assets and liabilities is considered not to be
significantly different from the respective book values.
International Financial Reporting Standard 13, 'Fair Value Measurement' requires the Fund to classify assets 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: Fair value measurements using quoted price (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets or
liabilities.
- Level 2: Fair value measurements using inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- Level 3: Fair value measurement using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data
(i.e. unobservable inputs).
10
As at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, the Fund held the following financial instruments measured at fair value:
Financial assets 'at fair value through profit or loss' 1,226,236 - - 1,226,236
Financial assets 'at fair value through profit or loss' 1,658,927 - - 1,658,927
16. GENERAL
16.1 Figures have been rounded off to the nearest thousand rupees.
16.2 Corresponding figures have been reclassified and rearranged in these condensed interim financial statements,
wherever necessary, for the purpose of better presentation. No significant rearrangements or reclassifications were
made in these condensed interim financial statements.

issued by the Shariah Advisor and are accounted for on substance rather than the form prescribed by the earlier
referred guidelines. This practice is being followed to comply with the requirements of the accounting and reporting
standards as applicable in Pakistan.
3. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting and reporting
standards as applicable in Pakistan for interim financial reporting. The accounting and reporting standards applicable
in Pakistan for interim financial reporting comprise of:
- International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB) as notified under the Companies Act, 2017;
- Provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017 along with part VIIIA of repealed Companies
Ordinance, 1984; and
- the Non-Banking Finance Companies (Establishment and Regulation) Rules, 2003 (the NBFC Rules), the Non-
Banking Finance Companies and Notified Entities Regulations, (the NBFC Regulations) and the requirements of
the Trust Deed.
2
Where provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017, part VIIIA of the repealed Companies
Ordinance 1984, the NBFC Rules, the NBFC Regulations and the requirements of the Trust Deed differ with the
requirements of IAS 34, the provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017, part VIIIA of the
repealed Companies Ordinance 1984, the NBFC Rules, the NBFC Regulations and the requirements of the Trust
Deed have been followed.
The disclosures made in these condensed interim financial statements have, however, been limited based on the
requirements of the International Accounting Standard 34: 'Interim Financial Reporting'. These condensed interim
financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in a full set of financial statements and
should be read in conjunction with the annual published audited financial statements of the Fund for the year ended
June 30, 2019.
These condensed interim financial statements are unaudited. However, a limited scope review has been performed by
the statutory auditors. In compliance with Schedule V of the NBFC Regulations, the directors of the Management
Company declare that these condensed interim financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of
the Fund as at December 31, 2019.
4.1 The accounting policies adopted and the methods of computation of balances used in the preparation of these
condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the preparation of the annual financial
statements of the Fund for the year ended June 30, 2019.
4.2 The preparation of these condensed interim financial statements in conformity with accounting and reporting standards
as applicable in Pakistan requires management to make estimates, assumptions and use judgements that affect the
application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates, assumptions and
judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including reasonable
expectations of future events. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized prospectively commencing from the
period of revision. In preparing the condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by
management in applying the Fund’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation and uncertainty were the
same as those applied to the financial statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2019. The Fund’s financial
risk management objectives and policies are consistent with those disclosed in the annual financial statements of the
Fund for the year ended June 30, 2019.
4.3 Standards and amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are effective in the current
period
There are certain amendments to the published accounting and reporting standards that are mandatory for the Fund's
annual accounting period beginning on July 1, 2019. However, these do not have any significant impact on the Fund's
operations and, therefore, have not been detailed in these condensed interim financial statements.
4.4 Standards, interpretations and amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are not yet
effective
The following amendments would be effective from the dates mentioned below against the respective amendment:
These amendments may impact the financial statements of the Fund on adoption. The Management is currently in the
process of assessing the full impact of these amendments on the financial statements of the Fund.
There are certain new standards, interpretations and amendments to the accounting and reporting standards that are
mandatory for the Fund's annual accounting period beginning on or after July 1, 2020. However, these do not have any
significant impact on the Fund's operations and, therefore, have not been detailed in these condensed interim financial
statements.

5.1 The balance in saving accounts have an expected profit ranging from 3.7% to 13.25% per annum (June 30, 2019:
6.30% to 11.85% per annum).
6.1.1 The Pakistan Mercantile Exchange (PMEX) delivers refined Gold in 10 TOLA Bars. These are physically held by
PMEX under their custody in the vaults of a commercial bank.
6.1.2 The investment in gold of Rs 323.293 million (June 30, 2019: Rs 364.344 million) has been measured at fair value
based on the quoted market price in active markets.
In accordance with the NBFC Regulations, a Collective Investment Scheme (CIS) is required to pay annual fee to the
Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
Effective from July 1, 2019, the SECP vide SRO No. 685(I)/2019 dated June 28, 2019 has revised the rate of annual
fee to 0.02% of net assets, applicable on all categories of CISs. Previously, the rate of annual fee applicable to a
Commodity Fund was 0.075%. Accordingly, the Fund has charged SECP Fee at the rate of 0.02% of net assets during
the current period.
There were no contingencies and commitments outstanding as at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019.
9. ALLOCATED EXPENSES
In accordance with Regulation 60 of the NBFC Regulations, the Management Company is entitled to charge fees and
expenses related to registrar services, accounting, operation and valuation services, related to a Collective Investment
Scheme (CIS).
Until June 19, 2019 there was a maximum cap of 0.1% of the average annual net assets of the scheme or actual
whichever is less, for allocation of such expense to the Fund. However, the SECP vide its SRO 639 dated June 20,
2019 removed the maximum cap of 0.1%.
The management company based on its own discretion has currently fixed a maximum capping of 0.1% of the average
annual net assets of the scheme for allocation of such expenses to the Fund.

10.1 As a consequence of the 18th amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan, in May 2015 the Sindh Workers’ Welfare
Fund Act, 2014 (SWWF Act) had been passed by the Government of Sindh as a result of which every industrial
establishment located in the Province of Sindh, the total income of which in any accounting year is not less than Rs
0.50 million, was required to pay Sindh Workers’ Welfare Fund (SWWF) in respect of that year a sum equal to two
percent of such income. The matter was taken up by the MUFAP with the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) collectively on
behalf of various asset management companies and their CISs whereby it was contested that mutual funds should be
excluded from the ambit of the SWWF Act as these were not industrial establishments but were pass through
investment vehicles and did not employ workers. The SRB held that mutual funds were included in the definition of
financial institutions as per the Financial Institution (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001 and were, hence, required
to register and pay SWWF under the SWWF Act. Thereafter, MUFAP had taken up the matter with the Sindh Finance
Ministry to have CISs / mutual funds excluded from the applicability of SWWF. In view of the above developments
regarding the applicability of SWWF on CISs/mutual funds, MUFAP recommended that, as a matter of abundant
caution, provision in respect of SWWF should be made on a prudent basis with effect from the date of enactment of
the SWWF Act, 2014 (i.e. starting from May 21, 2015).
Had the provision for SWWF not been recorded in the condensed interim financial statements of the Fund for the
period from May 21, 2015 to December 31, 2019, the net asset value per unit of the Fund as at December 31, 2019
would have been higher by Re 0.74 per unit (June 30, 2019: Re 0.45 per unit)
10.2 The Finance Act, 2013 enlarged the scope of Federal Excise Duty (FED) on financial services to include Asset
Management Companies (AMCs) as a result of which FED at the rate of 16% on the remuneration of the Management
Company and sales load was applicable with effect from June 13, 2013. The Management Company was of the view
that since the remuneration was already subject to provincial sales tax, further levy of FED would result in double
taxation which did not appear to be the spirit of the law. Hence, on September 4, 2013 a constitutional petition was
filed with the Sindh High Court (SHC) by the Management Company together with various other asset management
companies challenging the levy of FED.
With effect from July 01, 2016, FED on services provided or rendered by non-banking financial institutions dealing in
services which are subject to provincial sales tax has been withdrawn by the Finance Act, 2016.
During the year ended June 30, 2017, the SHC passed an order whereby all notices, proceedings taken or pending,
orders made, duty recovered or actions taken under the Federal Excise Act, 2005 in respect of the rendering or
providing of services (to the extent as challenged in any relevant petition) were set aside. In response to this, the
Deputy Commissioner Inland Revenue has filed a Civil Petition for leave to appeal in the Supreme Court of Pakistan
which is pending adjudication.
In view of the above, the Fund has discontinued making further provision in respect of FED on remuneration of the
Management Company with effect from July 01, 2016. However, as a matter of abundant caution the provision for FED
made for the period from June 13, 2013 till June 30, 2016 amounting to Rs 0.71 million is being retained in the
condensed interim financial statements of the Fund as the matter is pending before the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
Had the provision for FED not been made, the Net Asset Value of the Fund as at June 30, 2019 would have been
higher by Re 0.14 (June 30, 2019: Re 0.10) per unit.
5
The Total Expense Ratio (TER) of the Fund as at December 31, 2019 is 3.32% which includes 0.39% representing
government levies on the Fund such as provision for Sindh Workers' Welfare Fund (if any), sales taxes, annual fee to
the SECP, etc. (June 30, 2019: 3.78% and 0.80%). This ratio is within the maximum limit of 3% (excluding government
levies) prescribed under the NBFC Regulations for a collective investment scheme categorised as a Commodity
Scheme.
Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) vide Circular no.40 SCD/AMCW/ MGF/63/2017 dated June
14, 2017, allowed the fund to charge price adjustment charges. Price adjustment charge is a difference between the
offer price and the bid price from the closing price of the Gold transactions (contract) available at PMEX, which is
added to and deducted from the NAV to determine Offer and Redemption prices respectively. Such charges form part
of Fund Property.
Currently, price adjustment charges added / deducted to form NAV of the fund to determine offer / redemption price is
1% of NAV.

of the NBFC Regulations and the Trust Deed.
Details of transactions with connected persons and balances with them are as follows:
14. TAXATION
The income of the Fund is exempt from income tax under clause (99) of Part I of the Second Schedule to the Income
Tax Ordinance, 2001 subject to the condition that not less than 90% of the accounting income for the year as reduced
by capital gains, whether realised or unrealised, is distributed amongst the unit holders as cash dividend. Furthermore,
as per Regulation 63 of the Non-Banking Finance Companies and Notified Entities Regulations, the Fund is required
to distribute not less than 90% of its accounting income for the year derived from sources other than capital gains as
reduced by such expenses as are chargeable thereon to the unit holders. No provision for taxation has been made in
these condensed interim financial statements during the period since the net income of the fund only pertains to capital
gains (realised and unrealised).
The Fund is also exempt from the provisions of Section 113 (minimum tax) under clause 11A of Part IV of the Second
Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. Moreover, super tax introduced in Finance Act, 2015 is also not
applicable on funds as Section 4B of Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
The SECP has allowed the Asset Management Companies to charge selling and marketing expenses to all categories
of open-end mutual funds (except fund of funds) initially for a period of three years (i.e from January 1, 2017 till
December 31, 2019). The maximum cap of selling and marketing expense was 0.4% per annum of the net assets of
the Fund or actual expenses whichever is lower.
During the current period, the SECP through its circular 11 dated July 5, 2019 has revised the conditions for charging
of selling and marketing expenses to a Fund. As per the revised guidelines, the maximum cap of 0.4% per annum has
been lifted and now the asset management company is required to set a maximum limit for charging of such expense
to the Fund and the same should be approved by the Board as part of annual plan. Furthermore, the time limit of three
Accordingly, the management company based on its own discretion has currently determined a capping of 0.4% of the
average annual net assets of the fund for charging of selling and marketing expenses to the Fund which has also been
approved by the Board.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. Consequently, differences can arise between carrying values
and the fair value estimates.
7
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.
Financial assets which are tradable in an open market are revalued at the market prices prevailing on the statement of
assets and liabilities date. The estimated fair value of all other financial assets and liabilities is considered not to be
significantly different from the respective book values.
International Financial Reporting Standard 13, 'Fair Value Measurement' requires the Fund to classify assets 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 prices (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 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 (i.e. unobservable inputs).
Investments in gold are non-financial assets and the fair value is disclosed in note 6.1 to these financial statements.
As at December 31, 2019, the Fund does not hold any asset which required fair valuation.
17. GENERAL
17.1 Figures have been rounded off to the nearest thousand rupees.
17.2 Corresponding figures have been rearranged and reclassified, wherever necessary, for the purpose of better
presentation. No significant rearrangements or reclassifications were made in these condensed interim financial
statements during the period.

requirements of the International Accounting Standard 34: 'Interim Financial Reporting'. These condensed interim
financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in a full set of financial statements and
should be read in conjunction with the annual published audited financial statements of the Fund for the year ended

These condensed interim financial statements are unaudited. However, a limited scope review has been performed by
the statutory auditors. In compliance with Schedule V of the NBFC Regulations, the directors of the Management

condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the preparation of the annual financial
statements of the Fund for the year ended June 30, 2019.
4.2 The preparation of the condensed interim financial statements in conformity with accounting and reporting standards
as applicable in Pakistan requires management to make estimates, assumptions and use judgments that affect the
application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates, assumptions and
judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including reasonable
expectations of future events. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively commencing from the
period of revision. In preparing the condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by
management in applying the Fund’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation and uncertainty were the
same as those applied to the financial statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2019. The Fund’s financial

9.1 As a consequence of the 18th amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan, in May 2015 the Sindh Workers’ Welfare
Fund Act, 2014 (SWWF Act) had been passed by the Government of Sindh as a result of which every industrial
establishment located in the Province of Sindh, the total income of which in any accounting year is not less than Rs
0.50 million, is required to pay Sindh Workers’ Welfare Fund (SWWF) in respect of that year a sum equal to two
percent of such income. The matter was taken up by the MUFAP with the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) collectively on
behalf of various asset management companies and their CISs whereby it was contested that mutual funds should be
excluded from the ambit of the SWWF Act as these were not industrial establishments but were pass through
investment vehicles and did not employ workers. The SRB held that mutual funds were included in the definition of
financial institutions as per the Financial Institution (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001 and were, hence, required
to register and pay SWWF under the SWWF Act. Thereafter, MUFAP has taken up the matter with the Sindh Finance
Ministry to have CISs / mutual funds excluded from the applicability of SWWF. In view of the above developments
regarding the applicability of SWWF on CISs/ mutual funds, the MUFAP had recommended that as a matter of
abundant caution provision in respect of SWWF should be made on a prudent basis with effect from the date of
enactment of the SWWF Act (i.e. starting from May 21, 2015).
Had the provision for SWWF not been recorded in the condensed interim financial statements of the Fund for the
period from May 21, 2015 to December 31, 2019, the net asset value of the Fund as at December 31, 2019 would
have been higher by Re. 0.15 per unit (June 30, 2019: Re 0.21 per unit).

9.2 The Finance Act, 2013 enlarged the scope of Federal Excise Duty (FED) on financial services to include Asset
Management Companies (AMCs) as a result of which FED at the rate of 16 percent on the remuneration of the
Management Company and sales load was applicable with effect from June 13, 2013. The Management Company
was of the view that since the remuneration was already subject to provincial sales tax, further levy of FED would
result in double taxation which did not appear to be the spirit of the law. Hence, on September 4, 2013 a constitutional
petition was filed with the Sindh High Court (SHC) by the Management Company together with various other asset
management companies challenging the levy of FED.
With effect from July 01, 2016, FED on services provided or rendered by non-banking financial institutions dealing in
services which are subject to provincial sales tax has been withdrawn by the Finance Act, 2016.
During the year ended June 30, 2017, the SHC passed an order whereby all notices, proceedings taken or pending,
orders made, duty recovered or actions taken under the Federal Excise Act, 2005 in respect of the rendering or
providing of services (to the extent as challenged in any relevant petition) were set aside. In response to this, the
Deputy Commissioner Inland Revenue has filed a Civil Petition for leave to appeal in the Supreme Court of Pakistan
which is pending adjudication.
In view of the above, the Fund has discontinued making further provision in respect of FED on remuneration of the
Management Company with effect from July 01, 2016. However, as a matter of abundant caution the provision for FED
made for the period from June 13, 2013 till December 31, 2019 amounting to Rs 53.059 million (June 30, 2019: 53.059
million) is being retained in these condensed interim financial statements of the Fund as the matter is pending before
the Supreme Court of Pakistan. Had the provision for FED not been made, the Net Asset Value of the Fund as at
December 31, 2019 would have been higher by Re 0.14 ( June 30, 2019: Re 0.29 ) per unit.
There were no contingencies and commitments outstanding as at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019.

expenses related to registrar services, accounting, operation and valuation services, related to a Collective Investment
Scheme (CIS).
Until June 19, 2019 there was a maximum cap of 0.1% of the average annual net assets of the scheme or actual
whichever is less, for allocation of such expense to the Fund. However, the SECP vide its SRO 639 dated June 20,
2019 removed the maximum cap of 0.1%.
The management company based on its own discretion has currently fixed a maximum capping of 0.1% of the average
annual net assets of the scheme for allocation of such expenses to the Fund for the period from July 1, 2019 to July
21, 2019 and 0.15% for the period from July 22, 2019 to December 31, 2019.
The SECP has allowed the Asset Management Companies to charge selling and marketing expenses to all categories
of open-end mutual funds (except fund of funds) initially for a period of three years (i.e from January 1, 2017 till
December 31, 2019). The maximum cap of selling and marketing expense was 0.4% per annum of the net assets of
the Fund or actual expenses whichever is lower.
During the current period, the SECP through its circular 11 dated July 5, 2019 has revised the conditions for charging
of selling and marketing expenses to a Fund. As per the revised guidelines, the maximum cap of 0.4% per annum has
been lifted and now the asset management company is required to set a maximum limit for charging of such expense
to the Fund and the same should be approved by the Board as part of annual plan. Furthermore, the time limit of three
years has also been removed in the revised conditions.
Accordingly, the management company based on its own discretion has currently determined a capping of 0.4% of the
average annual net assets of the fund for charging of selling and marketing expenses to the Fund which has also been
approved by the Board.
The Total Expense Ratio (TER) of the Fund for the period ended December 31, 2019 is 1.92% which include 0.39%
representing government levy, Sindh Workers' Welfare Fund and SECP fee.
15. TAXATION
The Fund's income is exempt from income tax as per clause (99) of part I of the Second Schedule to the Income Tax
Ordinance, 2001 subject to the condition that not less than 90 percent of the accounting income for the year as
reduced by capital gains, whether realised or unrealised, is distributed amongst the unitholders. Furthermore, as per
regulation 63 of the NBFC Regulations, the Fund is required to distribute 90 percent of the net accounting income
other than capital gains to the unitholders. The Fund has not recorded any tax liability in respect of income relating to
the current period as the Management Company intends to distribute at least 90 percent of the Fund's accounting
income for the year ending June 30, 2020 as reduced by capital gains (whether realised or unrealised) to its
unitholders.
12
The Fund is also exempt from the provisions of section 113 (minimum tax) under clause 11A of Part IV of the Second
Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. Consequently, differences can arise between carrying values
and the fair value estimates.
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.
Financial assets which are tradable in an open market are revalued at the market prices prevailing on the statement of
assets and liabilities date. The estimated fair value of all other financial assets and liabilities is considered not to be
significantly different from the respective book values.
International Financial Reporting Standard 13, 'Fair Value Measurement' requires the Fund to classify assets 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: Fair value measurements using quoted price (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets or
liabilities.
- Level 2: Fair value measurements using inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- Level 3: Fair value measurement using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market
data (i.e. unobservable inputs).
As at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, the Fund held the following financial instruments measured at fair value:
** The valuation of commercial papers has been done based on amortisation of commercial paper to its face value as per the
guidelines given in Circular 33 of 2012 since the residual maturity of this investment is less than six months and they are placed with
counterparties which have high credit rating.
17. GENERAL

17.2 Corresponding figures have been rearranged and reclassified, wherever necessary, for the purpose of better
presentation. No significant rearrangements or reclassifications were made in these condensed interim financial
statements during the period.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The transactions undertaken by the Fund in accordance with the process prescribed under the Shariah guidelines
issued by the Shariah Advisor are accounted for on substance rather than the form prescribed by the aforementioned
guidelines. This practice is being followed to comply with the requirements of the accounting and reporting standards
as applicable in Pakistan.
3. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting and reporting
standards as applicable in Pakistan. The accounting and reporting standards applicable in Pakistan comprise of:
- International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB) as notified under the Companies Act, 2017;
- Provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017, along with part VIIIA of the repealed
Companies Ordinance, 1984; and
- the Non-Banking Finance Companies (Establishment and Regulation) Rules, 2003 (the NBFC Rules), the Non-
Banking Finance Companies and Notified Entities Regulations, 2008 (the NBFC Regulations) and the requirements
of the Trust Deed.
Where provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017, part VIIIA of the repealed Companies
Ordinance 1984, the NBFC Rules, the NBFC Regulations and the requirements of the Trust Deed differ with the
requirements of IAS 34, the provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017, part VIIIA of the
repealed Companies Ordinance 1984, the NBFC Rules, the NBFC Regulations and the requirements of the Trust
Deed have been followed.
The disclosures made in these condensed interim financial statements have, however, been limited based on the
requirements of the International Accounting Standard 34: 'Interim Financial Reporting'. These condensed interim
financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in a full set of financial statements and
should be read in conjunction with the published audited annual financial statements of the Fund for the year ended
June 30, 2019.
2
These condensed interim financial statements are unaudited. However, a limited scope review has been performed
by the statutory auditors. In compliance with Schedule V of the NBFC Regulations, the directors of the Management
Company declare that these condensed interim financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of
the Fund as at December 31, 2019.

condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the preparation of the annual financial
statements of the Fund for the year ended June 30, 2019.
4.2 The preparation of the condensed interim financial statements in conformity with accounting and reporting standards
as applicable in Pakistan requires management to make estimates, assumptions and use judgments that affect the
application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates, assumptions and
judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including reasonable
expectations of future events. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively commencing from the
period of revision. In preparing the condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by
management in applying the Fund’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation and uncertainty were the
same as those applied to the financial statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2019. The Fund’s financial
risk management objectives and policies are consistent with those disclosed in the annual financial statements of the
Funds for the year ended June 30, 2019.
4.3 Standards and amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are effective in the current
period
There are certain amendments to the published accounting and reporting standards that are mandatory for the Fund's
annual accounting period beginning on July 1, 2019. However, these do not have any significant impact on the Fund's
operations and, therefore, have not been detailed in these condensed interim financial statements.
4.4 Standards, interpretations and amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are not
yet effective
The following amendments would be effective from the dates mentioned below against the respective amendment:
These amendments may impact the financial statements of the Fund on adoption. The Management is currently in
the process of assessing the full impact of these amendments on the financial statements of the Fund.
There are certain new standards and amendments to the accounting and reporting standards that are mandatory for
the Fund's annual accounting period beginning on or after July 1, 2020. However, these do not have any significant

statements.

10.1 As a consequence of the 18th amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan, in May 2015 the Sindh Workers’ Welfare
Fund Act, 2014 (SWWF Act) had been passed by the Government of Sindh as a result of which every industrial
establishment located in the Province of Sindh, the total income of which in any accounting year is not less than Rs
0.50 million, was required to pay Sindh Workers’ Welfare Fund (SWWF) in respect of that year a sum equal to two
percent of such income. The matter was taken up by the MUFAP with the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) collectively on
behalf of various asset management companies and their CISs whereby it was contested that mutual funds should be
excluded from the ambit of the SWWF Act as these were not industrial establishments but were pass through
investment vehicles and did not employ workers. The SRB held that mutual funds were included in the definition of
financial institutions as per the Financial Institution (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001 and were, hence,
required to register and pay SWWF under the SWWF Act. Thereafter, MUFAP had taken up the matter with the
Sindh Finance Ministry to have CISs / mutual funds excluded from the applicability of SWWF. In view of the above
developments regarding the applicability of SWWF on CISs/mutual funds, MUFAP recommended that, as a matter of
abundant caution, provision in respect of SWWF should be made on a prudent basis with effect from the date of
enactment of the SWWF Act, 2014 (i.e. starting from May 21, 2015).
Had the provision for SWWF not been recorded in the condensed interim financial statements of the Fund for the
period from May 21, 2015 to December 31, 2019, the net asset value of the Fund as at December 31, 2019 would
have been higher by Re 0.30 (June 30, 2019: Re 0.15 ).
10.2 The Finance Act, 2013 enlarged the scope of Federal Excise Duty (FED) on financial services to include Asset
Management Companies (AMCs) as a result of which FED at the rate of 16 percent on the remuneration of the
Management Company and sales load was applicable with effect from June 13, 2013. The Management Company
was of the view that since the remuneration was already subject to provincial sales tax, further levy of FED would
result in double taxation which did not appear to be the spirit of the law. Hence, on September 4, 2013 a constitutional
petition was filed with the Sindh High Court (SHC) by the Management Company together with various other asset
management companies challenging the levy of FED.
During the year ended 30 June 2017, the SHC passed an order whereby all notices, proceedings taken or pending,
orders made, duty recovered or actions taken under the Federal Excise Act, 2005 in respect of the rendering or
providing of services (to the extent as challenged in any relevant petition) were set aside. In response to this, the
Deputy Commissioner Inland Revenue has filed a Civil Petition for leave to appeal in the Supreme Court of Pakistan
which is pending adjudication.
5
With effect from 01 July 2016, FED on services provided or rendered by non-banking financial institutions dealing in
services which are subject to provincial sales tax has been withdrawn by the Finance Act, 2016.
In view of the above, the Fund has discontinued making further provision in respect of FED on remuneration of the
Management Company with effect from July 01, 2016. However, as a matter of abundant caution the provision for
FED made for the period from June 13, 2013 till June 30, 2016 amounting to Rs 82.639 million ( June 30, 2019 : Rs
82.639 million) is being retained in the condensed interim financial statements of the Fund as the matter is pending
before the Supreme Court of Pakistan. Had the provision for FED not been made, the Net Asset Value of the Fund as
at December 31, 2019 would have been higher by Re 1.15 ( June 30, 2019 : Rs. 0.75) per unit.
Connected persons include Al Meezan Investment Management Limited being the Management Company, Central
Depository Company of Pakistan Limited being the Trustee, Meezan Bank Limited being the holding company of the

management of the Management Company, Pakistan Kuwait Investment Company (Private) Limited being the

Remuneration payable to the management company and the trustee is determined in accordance with the provisions
of the NBFC Rules, the NBFC Regulations and the Trust Deed respectively.
Details of transactions with connected persons and balances with them are as follows:
In accordance with Regulation 60 of the NBFC Regulations, the Management Company is entitled to charge fees and
expenses related to registrar services, accounting, operation and valuation services, related to a Collective
Investment Scheme (CIS).
Until June 19, 2019 there was a maximum cap of 0.1% of the average annual net assets of the scheme or actual
whichever is less, for allocation of such expense to the Fund. However, the SECP vide its SRO 639 dated June 20,
2019 removed the maximum cap of 0.1%.
The management company based on its own discretion has currently fixed a maximum capping of 0.1% of the
average annual net assets of the scheme for allocation of such expenses to the Fund for the period from July 1, 2019
to July 21, 2019 and 0.15% for the period from July 22, 2019 to December 31, 2019.
Effective from July 22, 2019, the Management Company has started charging selling and marketing expenses to the
Fund. The Management Company, based on its own discretion has currently determined a capping of 0.4% of the
average annual net assets of the fund for charging of selling and marketing expenses to the Fund which has also
been approved by the Board.
Total Expense Ratio (TER) of the Fund for the period ended December 31, 2019 is 1.61% which include 0.35%
representing government levy, Sindh Workers' Welfare Fund and SECP fee.
15. TAXATION
The Fund's income is exempt from income tax as per clause (99) of part I of the Second Schedule to the Income Tax
Ordinance, 2001 subject to the condition that not less than 90 percent of the accounting income for the year as
reduced by capital gains, whether realised or unrealised, is distributed amongst the unitholders. Furthermore, as per
regulation 63 of the NBFC Regulations, the Fund is required to distribute 90 percent of the net accounting income
other than capital gains to the unitholders. The Fund has not recorded any tax liability in respect of income relating to
the current period as the Management Company intends to distribute at least 90 percent of the Fund's accounting
income for the year ending June 30, 2020 as reduced by capital gains (whether realised or unrealised) to its
unitholders.
The Fund is also exempt from the provisions of section 113 (minimum tax) under clause 11A of Part IV of the Second
Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. Consequently, differences can arise between carrying values
and the fair value estimates.
8
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.
Financial assets which are tradeable in an open market are revalued at market prices prevailing on the statement of
assets and liabilities date. The estimated fair value of all other financial assets and liabilities is considered not to be
significantly different from the respective book values.
International Financial Reporting Standard 13, 'Fair Value Measurement' requires the Fund to classify assets 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: Fair value measurements using quoted price (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets or

standards as applicable in Pakistan for interim financial reporting. The accounting and reporting standards applicable

The disclosures made in these condensed interim financial statements have, however, been limited based on the
requirements of the International Accounting Standard 34: 'Interim Financial Reporting'. These condensed interim
financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in a full set of financial statements and
should be read in conjunction with the annual published audited financial statements of the Fund for the year ended
June 30, 2019.
These condensed interim financial statements are unaudited. However, a limited scope review has been performed by
the statutory auditors. In compliance with Schedule V of the NBFC Regulations, the directors of the Management
Company declare that these condensed interim financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of
the Fund as at December 31, 2019.
4.1 The accounting policies adopted and the methods of computation of balances used in the preparation of these
condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the preparation of the annual financial
statements of the Fund for the year ended June 30, 2019.
4.2 The preparation of the condensed interim financial statements in conformity with accounting and reporting standards
as applicable in Pakistan requires management to make estimates, assumptions and use judgments that affect the
application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates, assumptions and
judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including reasonable
expectations of future events. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively commencing from the
period of revision. In preparing the condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by
management in applying the Fund’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation and uncertainty were the
same as those applied to the financial statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2019. The Fund’s financial
risk management objectives and policies are consistent with those disclosed in the annual financial statements of the
Fund for the year ended June 30, 2019.
4.3 Standards and amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are effective in the current
period
There are certain amendments to the published accounting and reporting standards that are mandatory for the Fund's
annual accounting period beginning on July 1, 2019. However, these do not have any significant impact on the Fund's
operations and, therefore, have not been detailed in these condensed interim financial statements.
4.4 Standards, interpretations and amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are not yet
effective
The following amendments would be effective from the dates mentioned below against the respective amendment:
These amendments may impact the financial statements of the Fund on adoption. The Management is currently in the
process of assessing the full impact of these amendments on the financial statements of the Fund.
There are certain new standards and amendments to the accounting and reporting standards that are mandatory for
the Fund's annual accounting period beginning on or after July 1, 2020. However, these do not have any significant
impact on the Fund's operations and, therefore, have not been detailed in these condensed interim financial
statements.

9.1 As a consequence of the 18th amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan, in May 2015 the Sindh Workers’ Welfare
Fund Act, 2014 (SWWF Act) had been passed by the Government of Sindh as a result of which every industrial
establishment located in the Province of Sindh, the total income of which in any accounting year is not less than Rs
0.50 million, is required to pay Sindh Workers’ Welfare Fund (SWWF) in respect of that year a sum equal to two
percent of such income. The matter was taken up by the MUFAP with the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) collectively on
behalf of various asset management companies and their CISs whereby it was contested that mutual funds should be
excluded from the ambit of the SWWF Act as these were not industrial establishments but were pass through
investment vehicles and did not employ workers. The SRB held that mutual funds were included in the definition of
financial institutions as per the Financial Institution (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001 and were, hence, required
to register and pay SWWF under the SWWF Act. Thereafter, MUFAP has taken up the matter with the Sindh Finance
Ministry to have CISs / mutual funds excluded from the applicability of SWWF. In view of the above developments
regarding the applicability of SWWF on CISs/ mutual funds, the MUFAP had recommended that as a matter of
abundant caution provision in respect of SWWF should be made on a prudent basis with effect from the date of
enactment of the SWWF Act (i.e. starting from May 21, 2015).
Had the provision for SWWF not been recorded in these condensed interim financial statements of the Fund for the
period from May 21, 2015 to December 31, 2019, the net asset value per unit of the Fund as at December 31, 2019
would have been higher by Re 0.22 (June 30, 2019: Re 0.18).
9.2 The Finance Act, 2013 enlarged the scope of Federal Excise Duty (FED) on financial services to include Asset
Management Companies (AMCs) as a result of which FED at the rate of 16 percent on the remuneration of the
Management Company and sales load was applicable with effect from June 13, 2013. The Management Company
was of the view that since the remuneration was already subject to provincial sales tax, further levy of FED would
result in double taxation which did not appear to be the spirit of the law. Hence, on September 4, 2013 a constitutional
petition was filed with the Sindh High Court (SHC) by the Management Company together with various other asset
management companies challenging the levy of FED.
With effect from July 1, 2016, FED on services provided or rendered by non-banking financial institutions dealing in
services which are subject to provincial sales tax has been withdrawn by the Finance Act, 2016.
During the year ended June 30, 2017, the SHC passed an order whereby all notices, proceedings taken or pending,
orders made, duty recovered or actions taken under the Federal Excise Act, 2005 in respect of the rendering or
providing of services (to the extent as challenged in any relevant petition) were set aside. In response to this, the
Deputy Commissioner Inland Revenue has filed a Civil Petition for leave to appeal in the Supreme Court of Pakistan
which is pending adjudication.
In view of the above, the Fund has discontinued making further provision in respect of FED on remuneration of the
Management Company with effect from July 1, 2016. However, as a matter of abundant caution the provision for FED
made for the period from June 13, 2013 till June 30, 2016 amounting to Rs 27.018 million is being retained in these
condensed interim financial statements of the Fund as the matter is pending before the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
Had the provision not been made, the NAV per unit of the Fund would have been higher by Re 0.14 (June 30, 2019:
Re 0.15) per unit.
The Trustee is entitled to a monthly remuneration for services rendered to the Fund under the provisions of the trust
deed. Effective from July 1, 2019, the trustee has revised its tariff as under:
Accordingly, the Fund has charged Trustee Fee @ 0.065% per annum during the current period.
In accordance with the NBFC Regulations, a Collective Investment Scheme (CIS) is required to pay annual fee to the
Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
Effective from July 1, 2019, the SECP vide SRO No. 685(I)/2019 dated June 28, 2019, revised the rate of annual fee
to 0.02% of net assets, applicable on all categories of CISs. Previously, the rate of annual fee applicable to money
market fund was 0.075%. Accordingly, the Fund has charged SECP Fee at the rate of 0.02% of net assets during the
current period.
6
In accordance with Regulation 60 of the NBFC Regulations, the Management Company is entitled to charge fees and
expenses related to registrar services, accounting, operation and valuation services, related to a Collective Investment
Scheme (CIS).
Until June 19, 2019 there was a maximum cap of 0.1% of the average annual net assets of the scheme or actual
whichever is less, for allocation of such expense to the Fund. However, the SECP vide its SRO 639 dated June 20,
2019 removed the maximum cap of 0.1%.
The management company based on its own discretion has currently fixed a maximum capping of 0.1% of the average
annual net assets of the scheme for allocation of such expenses to the Fund for the period from July 1, 2019 to July
21, 2019 and 0.15% for the period from July 22, 2019 to December 31, 2019.
The Total Expense Ratio (TER) of the Fund for the period ended December 31, 2019 is 1.58% which include 0.34%
representing government levy, Sindh Workers' Welfare Fund and SECP fee.
Effective from July 22, 2019, the Management Company has started charging selling and marketing expenses to the
Fund. The Management Company, based on its own discretion has currently determined a capping of 0.4% of the
average annual net assets of the fund for charging of selling and marketing expenses to the Fund which has also been
approved by the Board.

16. TAXATION
The Fund's income is exempt from income tax as per clause (99) of part I of the Second Schedule to the Income Tax
Ordinance, 2001 subject to the condition that not less than 90 percent of the accounting income for the year as
reduced by capital gains, whether realised or unrealised, is distributed amongst the unit holders. Furthermore, as per
regulation 63 of the NBFC Regulations, the Fund is required to distribute 90 percent of the net accounting income
other than capital gains to the unit holders. The Fund has not recorded any tax liability in respect of income relating to
the current period as the Management Company intends to distribute at least 90 percent of the Fund's accounting
income for the year ending June 30, 2020 as reduced by capital gains (whether realised or unrealised) to its unit
holders.
The Fund is also exempt from the provisions of section 113 (minimum tax) under clause 11A of Part IV of the Second
Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. Consequently, differences can arise between carrying values
and the fair value estimates.
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.
Financial assets which are tradable in an open market are revalued at the market prices prevailing on the statement of
assets and liabilities date. The estimated fair value of all other financial assets and liabilities is considered not to be
significantly different from the respective book values.
International Financial Reporting Standard 13, 'Fair Value Measurement' requires the Fund to classify assets 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 prices (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 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 (i.e. unobservable inputs).
11
As at December 31, 2019, the Fund held the following financial instruments measured at fair values:
* The valuation of commercial papers has been done based on amortisation of commercial paper to its face value as
per the guidelines given in Circular 33 of 2012 since the residual maturity of this investment is less than six months
and they are placed with counterparties which have high credit rating.
18. GENERAL

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

issued by the Shariah Advisor and are accounted for on substance rather than the form prescribed by the earlier
referred guidelines. This practice is being followed to comply with the requirements of the accounting and reporting
standards as applicable in Pakistan.
3. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting and reporting
standards as applicable in Pakistan for interim financial reporting. The accounting and reporting standards applicable
in Pakistan for interim financial reporting comprise of:
- International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB) as notified under the Companies Act, 2017;
- Provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017, along with part VIIIA of the repealed
Companies Ordinance, 1984; and
- the Non-Banking Finance Companies (Establishment and Regulation) Rules, 2003 (the NBFC Rules), the Non-
Banking Finance Companies and Notified Entities Regulations, 2008 (the NBFC Regulations) and the requirements
of the Trust Deed.
Where provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017, part VIIIA of the repealed Companies
Ordinance 1984, the NBFC Rules, the NBFC Regulations and the requirements of the Trust Deed differ from the
International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, the provisions of and directives issued under
the Companies Act, 2017, part VIIIA of the repealed Companies Ordinance 1984, the NBFC Rules, the NBFC
Regulations and the requirements of the Trust Deed have been followed.
2
The disclosures made in these condensed interim financial statements have, however, been limited based on the
requirements of the International Accounting Standard 34: 'Interim Financial Reporting'. These condensed interim
financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in a full set of financial statements and
should be read in conjunction with the annual published audited financial statements of the Fund for the year ended
June 30, 2019.
These condensed interim financial statements are unaudited. However, a limited scope review has been performed by
the statutory auditors. In compliance with Schedule V of the NBFC Regulations, the directors of the Management
Company declare that these condensed interim financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of
the Fund as at December 31, 2019.
4.1 The accounting policies adopted and the methods of computation of balances used in the preparation of these
condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the preparation of the annual financial
statements of the Fund for the year ended June 30, 2019.
4.2 The preparation of the condensed interim financial statements in conformity with accounting and reporting standards
as applicable in Pakistan requires management to make estimates, assumptions and use judgments that affect the
application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates, assumptions and
judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including reasonable
expectations of future events. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively commencing from the
period of revision. In preparing the condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by
management in applying the Fund’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation and uncertainty were the
same as those applied to the financial statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2019. The Fund’s financial
risk management objectives and policies are consistent with those disclosed in the annual financial statements of the
Fund for the year ended June 30, 2019.
4.3 Standards and amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are effective in the current
period
There are certain amendments to the published accounting and reporting standards that are mandatory for the Fund's
annual accounting period beginning on July 1, 2019. However, these do not have any significant impact on the Fund's
operations and, therefore, have not been detailed in these condensed interim financial statements.
4.4 Standards, interpretations and amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are not yet
effective
The following amendments would be effective from the dates mentioned below against the respective amendment:
These amendments may impact the financial statements of the Fund on adoption. The Management is currently in the
process of assessing the full impact of these amendments on the financial statements of the Fund.
There are certain new standards and amendments to the accounting and reporting standards that are mandatory for
the Fund's annual accounting period beginning on or after July 1, 2020. However, these do not have any significant
impact on the Fund's operations and, therefore, have not been detailed in these condensed interim financial
statements.

The Fund entered in a Bai Muajjal Transaction with Pak Brunei Investment Company Limited on December 05, 2019,
December 11, 2019 and December 16, 2019 against K-Electric Limited Commercial Paper III (issued on September
19, 2019) at an effective interest rate of 13.15%.The final payment is agreed to be received on June 05, 2020, June
11, 2020 and June 16, 2020 respectively. The final transaction prices are Rs. 1,022.339 million, Rs.1,024.819 million,
Rs. 513.597 million respectively which include deferred profit of Rs. 63.234 million, Rs. 63.387 million and Rs. 31.767
million respectively.
There were no contingencies and commitments outstanding as at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019.
8.1 As a consequence of the 18th amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan, in May 2015 the Sindh Workers’ Welfare
Fund Act, 2014 (SWWF Act) had been passed by the Government of Sindh as a result of which every industrial
establishment located in the Province of Sindh, the total income of which in any accounting year is not less than Rs
0.50 million, is required to pay Sindh Workers’ Welfare Fund (SWWF) in respect of that year a sum equal to two
percent of such income. The matter was taken up by the MUFAP with the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) collectively on
behalf of various asset management companies and their CISs whereby it was contested that mutual funds should be
excluded from the ambit of the SWWF Act as these were not industrial establishments but were pass through
investment vehicles and did not employ workers. The SRB held that mutual funds were included in the definition of
financial institutions as per the Financial Institution (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001 and were, hence, required
to register and pay SWWF under the SWWF Act. Thereafter, MUFAP has taken up the matter with the Sindh Finance
Ministry to have CISs / mutual funds excluded from the applicability of SWWF. In view of the above developments
regarding the applicability of SWWF on CISs/ mutual funds, the MUFAP had recommended that as a matter of
abundant caution provision in respect of SWWF should be made on a prudent basis with effect from the date of
enactment of the SWWF Act (i.e. starting from May 21, 2015).
5
Had the provision for SWWF not been recorded in these condensed interim financial statements of the Fund for the
period ended December 31, 2019, the dividend paid by the Fund during the period December 31, 2019 would have
been higher by Re. 0.06 per unit (June 30, 2019: 0.03 per unit).
The Total Expense Ratio (TER) of the Fund for the period ended December 31, 2019 is 1.00% which includes 0.31%
representing government levy, Sindh Workers' Welfare Fund and SECP fee (December 31, 2018: 0.58% which
included 0.19 % representing government levy, Sindh Workers' Welfare Fund and SECP fee).
During the period, the Management Company has reduced charging of the remuneration from 5% to 2% of gross
earnings of the Fund subject to minimum of 0.25% and maximum of 1% of average annual net assets. The reduction
in remuneration is effective from July 22, 2019.
The Trustee is entitled to a monthly remuneration for services rendered to the Fund under the provisions of the trust
deed. During the period the trustee has revised its tariff with effect from July 1, 2019 as follows:
Accordingly, the Fund has charged Trustee Fee @ 0.065% per annum during the current period.
In accordance with the NBFC Regulations, a Collective Investment Scheme (CIS) is required to pay annual fee to the
Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
Effective from July 1, 2019, the SECP vide SRO No. 685(I)/2019 dated June 28, 2019, revised the rate of annual fee
to 0.02% of net assets, applicable on all categories of CISs. Previously, the rate of annual fee applicable to money
market fund was 0.075%. Accordingly, the Fund has charged SECP Fee at the rate of 0.02% of net assets during the
current period.
Effective from July 22, 2019, the Management Company has started charging selling and marketing expenses to the
Fund. The Management Company, based on its own discretion has currently determined a capping of 0.34% of the
average annual net assets of the fund for charging of selling and marketing expenses to the Fund which has also been
approved by the Board.
Connected persons include Al Meezan Investment Management Limited being the Management Company, the Central
Depository Company of Pakistan Limited being the Trustee, Meezan Bank Limited being the holding company of the
Management Company, Directors and Executives of the Management Company, other funds under the common
management of the Management Company, Pakistan Kuwait Investment Company (Private) Limited being the

15. TAXATION
The Fund's income is exempt from income tax as per clause (99) of part I of the Second Schedule to the Income Tax
Ordinance, 2001 subject to the condition that not less than 90 percent of the accounting income for the year as
reduced by capital gains, whether realised or unrealised, is distributed amongst the unitholders. Furthermore, as per
regulation 63 of the NBFC Regulations, the Fund is required to distribute 90 percent of the net accounting income
other than capital gains to the unit holders. The Fund has not recorded any tax liability in respect of income relating to
the current period as the Management Company intends to distribute at least 90 percent of the Fund's accounting
income for the year ending June 30, 2020 as reduced by capital gains (whether realised or unrealised) to its
unitholders.
The Fund is also exempt from the provisions of section 113 (minimum tax) under clause 11A of Part IV of the Second
Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. Consequently, differences can arise between carrying values
and the fair value estimates.
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.
Financial assets which are tradable in an open market are revalued at the market prices prevailing on the statement of
assets and liabilities date. The estimated fair value of all other financial assets and liabilities is considered not to be
significantly different from the respective book values.
9
International Financial Reporting Standard 13, 'Fair Value Measurement' requires the Fund to classify assets 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 an identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (i.e., unobservable inputs).
As at December 31, 2019, the Fund held the following financial instruments measured at fair values:
* The valuation of commercial papers has been done based on amortisation of commercial paper to its fair value as per the guidelines
given in Circular 33 of 2012 since the residual maturity of this investment is less than six months and they are placed with
counterparties which have high credit rating.
17. GENERAL
17.1 Figures have been rounded off to the nearest thousand rupees.
17.2 Corresponding figures have been rearranged and reclassified, wherever necessary, for the purpose of better
presentation. No significant rearrangements or reclassifications were made in these condensed interim financial
statements during the period.

There were no contingencies and commitments outstanding as at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019.
The Trustee is entitled to monthly remuneration for services rendered to the Fund under the provisions of the Trust Deed.
During the period, the Trustee has revised its tariff as follows:
Accordingly, the Fund has charged Trustee fee at the rate of 0.070% per annum, effective from July 1st, 2019.
5
In accordance with the NBFC Regulations, a Collective Investment Scheme (CIS) is required to pay annual fee to the
Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
Effective from July 1, 2019, the SECP vide SRO No. 685(I)/2019 dated June 28, 2019, revised the rate of annual fee to
0.02% of net assets, applicable on all categories of CISs. Previously, the rate of annual fee applicable to fund of funds was
0.095%. Accordingly, the Fund has charged SECP Fee at the rate of 0.02% of net assets during the current period.
10.1 As a consequence of the 18th amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan, in May 2015 the Sindh Workers’ Welfare Fund
Act, 2014 (SWWF Act) had been passed by the Government of Sindh as a result of which every industrial establishment
located in the Province of Sindh, the total income of which in any accounting year is not less than Rs 0.50 million, was
required to pay Sindh Workers’ Welfare Fund (SWWF) in respect of that year a sum equal to two percent of such income.
The matter was taken up by the MUFAP with the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) collectively on behalf of various asset
management companies and their CISs whereby it was contested that mutual funds should be excluded from the ambit of
the SWWF Act as these were not industrial establishments but were pass through investment vehicles and did not employ
workers. The SRB held that mutual funds were included in the definition of financial institutions as per the Financial
Institution (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001 and were, hence, required to register and pay SWWF under the
SWWF Act. Thereafter, MUFAP had taken up the matter with the Sindh Finance Ministry to have CISs / mutual funds
excluded from the applicability of SWWF. In view of the above developments regarding the applicability of SWWF on
CISs/mutual funds, MUFAP recommended that, as a matter of abundant caution, provision in respect of SWWF should be
made on a prudent basis with effect from the date of enactment of the SWWF Act, 2014 (i.e. starting from May 21, 2015).
Had the provision for SWWF not been recorded in the condensed interim financial statements, the NAV per unit would
have been higher by Re 0.90, 0.96, 0.55 and 1.08 for Aggressive Allocation Plan, Moderate Allocation Plan, Conservative
Allocation Plan and MAAP-I (June 30, 2019 by 0.54, 0.51, 0.30 and 0.55 for Aggressive Allocation Plan, Moderate
Allocation Plan, Conservative Allocation Plan and MAAP-I) respectively.

10.2 The Finance Act, 2013 enlarged the scope of Federal Excise Duty (FED) on financial services to include Asset
Management Companies (AMCs) as a result of which FED at the rate of 16 percent on the remuneration of the
Management Company and sales load was applicable with effect from June 13, 2013. The Management Company was of
the view that since the remuneration was already subject to provincial sales tax, further levy of FED would result in double
taxation which did not appear to be the spirit of the law. Hence, on September 4, 2013 a constitutional petition was filed
with the Sindh High Court (SHC) by the Management Company together with various other asset management companies
challenging the levy of FED.
With effect from July 1, 2016, FED on services provided or rendered by non-banking financial institutions dealing in
services which are subject to provincial sales tax has been withdrawn by the Finance Act, 2016.
During the year ended June 30, 2017, the SHC passed an order whereby all notices, proceedings taken or pending,
orders made, duty recovered or actions taken under the Federal Excise Act, 2005 in respect of the rendering or providing
of services (to the extent as challenged in any relevant petition) were set aside. In response to this, the Deputy
Commissioner Inland Revenue has filed a Civil Petition for leave to appeal in the Supreme Court of Pakistan which is
pending adjudication.
In view of the above, the Fund has discontinued making further provision in respect of FED on remuneration of the
Management Company with effect from July 01, 2016. However, as a matter of abundant caution the provision for FED
made for the period from June 13, 2013 till June 30, 2016 amounting to Rs 0.44 million, Rs 0.537 million, Rs 0.564 million
and Rs 3.31 million in Aggressive Allocation Plan, Moderate Allocation Plan, Conservative Allocation Plan and MAAP- I
respectively is being retained in the condensed interim financial statements of the Fund as the matter is pending before
the Supreme Court of Pakistan. Had the provision not been made, the Net Asset Value of the Fund as at December 31,
2019 would have been higher by Re. 0.09, Re 0.23, Re. 0.20 and Re. 0.51 per unit in Aggressive Allocation Plan,
Moderate Allocation Plan, Conservative Allocation Plan and MAAP- I (June 30, 2019: Re 0.07, Re 0.14, Re 0.14, Re 0.27
and Re 0.48 per unit) respectively.

12 ALLOCATED EXPENSES
In accordance with Regulation 60 of the NBFC Regulations, the Management Company is entitled to charge fees and
expenses related to registrar services, accounting, operation and valuation services, related to a Collective Investment
Scheme (CIS).
Until June 19, 2019 there was a maximum cap of 0.1% of the average annual net assets of the scheme or actual
whichever is less, for allocation of such expense to the Fund. However, the SECP vide its SRO 639 dated June 20, 2019
removed the maximum cap of 0.1%.
The management company based on its own discretion has currently fixed a maximum capping of 0.1% of the average
annual net assets of the scheme for allocation of such expenses to the Fund.

14 TAXATION
The Fund's income is exempt from income tax as per clause (99) of part I of the Second Schedule to the Income Tax
Ordinance, 2001 subject to the condition that not less than 90 percent of the accounting income for the year as reduced
by capital gains, whether realised or unrealised, is distributed amongst the unit holders. Furthermore, as per regulation 63
of the NBFC Regulations, the Fund is required to distribute 90 percent of the net accounting income other than capital
gains to the unit holders. The Fund has not recorded any tax liability in respect of income relating to the current period as
the Management Company intends to distribute at least 90 percent of the Fund's accounting income for the year ending
June 30, 2020 as reduced by capital gains (whether realised or unrealised) to its unit holders.
The Fund is also exempt from the provisions of section 113 (minimum tax) under clause 11A of Part IV of the Second
Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. Consequently, differences can arise between carrying values and the fair
value estimates.
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.
Financial assets which are tradeable in an open market are revalued at market prices prevailing on the statement of
assets and liabilities date. The estimated fair value of all other financial assets and liabilities is considered not to be
significantly different from the respective book values.
International Financial Reporting Standard 13, 'Fair Value Measurement' requires the Fund to classify assets 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: Fair value measurements using quoted price (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets or
liabilities.
- Level 2: Fair value measurements using inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- Level 3: Fair value measurement using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data
(i.e. unobservable inputs).
As at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, the Fund held the following financial instruments measured at fair value:

There were no contingencies and commitments outstanding as at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019.
10.1 As a consequence of the 18th amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan, in May 2015 the Sindh Workers’ Welfare Fund Act,
2014 (SWWF Act) had been passed by the Government of Sindh as a result of which every industrial establishment located in
the Province of Sindh, the total income of which in any accounting year is not less than Rs 0.50 million, was required to pay
Sindh Workers’ Welfare Fund (SWWF) in respect of that year a sum equal to two percent of such income. The matter was
taken up by the MUFAP with the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) collectively on behalf of various asset management companies
and their CISs whereby it was contested that mutual funds should be excluded from the ambit of the SWWF Act as these were
not industrial establishments but were pass through investment vehicles and did not employ workers. The SRB held that mutual
funds were included in the definition of financial institutions as per the Financial Institution (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance,
2001 and were, hence, required to register and pay SWWF under the SWWF Act. Thereafter, MUFAP had taken up the matter
with the Sindh Finance Ministry to have CISs / mutual funds excluded from the applicability of SWWF. In view of the above
developments regarding the applicability of SWWF on CISs/mutual funds, MUFAP recommended that, as a matter of abundant
caution, provision in respect of SWWF should be made on a prudent basis with effect from the date of enactment of the SWWF
Act, 2014 (i.e. starting from May 21, 2015).
Had the for SWWF not been recorded in the financial statements of the Fund for the period from May 21, 2015 to December
31, 2019, the net asset value of MSAP-I, MSAP-II, MSAP-III, MSAP-IV, MSAP-V and MCPP-III as at December 31, 2019 would

12 ALLOCATED EXPENSES
In accordance with Regulation 60 of the NBFC Regulations, the Management Company is entitled to charge fees and expenses
related to registrar services, accounting, operation and valuation services, related to a Collective Investment Scheme (CIS).
Until June 19, 2019 there was a maximum cap of 0.1% of the average annual net assets of the scheme or actual whichever is
less, for allocation of such expense to the Fund. However, the SECP vide its SRO 639 dated June 20, 2019 removed the
maximum cap of 0.1%.
The management company based on its own discretion has currently fixed a maximum capping of 0.1% of the average annual
net assets of the scheme for allocation of such expenses to the Fund during the period.
The Total Expense Ratio (TER) of the Fund for the period ended December 31, 2019 are;
14 TAXATION
The Fund's income is exempt from income tax as per clause (99) of part I of the Second Schedule to the Income Tax
Ordinance, 2001 subject to the condition that not less than 90 percent of the accounting income for the year as reduced by
capital gains, whether realised or unrealised, is distributed amongst the unitholders. Furthermore, as per regulation 63 of the
NBFC Regulations, the Fund is required to distribute 90 percent of the net accounting income other than capital gains to the
unitholders. The Fund has not recorded any tax liability in respect of income relating to the current period as the Management
Company intends to distribute at least 90 percent of the Fund's accounting income for the year ending June 30, 2020 as
reduced by capital gains (whether realised or unrealised) to its unitholders.
The Fund is also exempt from the provisions of section 113 (minimum tax) under clause 11A of Part IV of the Second Schedule
to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. Consequently, differences can arise between carrying values and the fair value
estimates.
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.
Financial assets which are tradeable in an open market are revalued at market prices prevailing on the statement of assets and
liabilities date. The estimated fair value of all other financial assets and liabilities is considered not to be significantly different
from the respective book values.
International Financial Reporting Standard 13, 'Fair Value Measurement' requires the Fund to classify assets 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: Fair value measurements using quoted price (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2: Fair value measurements using inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- Level 3: Fair value measurement using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (i.e.
unobservable inputs).
As at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, the Fund held the following financial instruments measured at fair value:
16 GENERAL

guidelines. This practice is being followed to comply with the requirements of the accounting and reporting standards as

There were no contingencies and commitments outstanding as at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019.
10.1 As a consequence of the 18th amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan, in May 2015 the Sindh Workers’ Welfare Fund
Act, 2014 (SWWF Act) had been passed by the Government of Sindh as a result of which every industrial establishment
located in the Province of Sindh, the total income of which in any accounting year is not less than Rs 0.50 million, was
required to pay Sindh Workers’ Welfare Fund (SWWF) in respect of that year a sum equal to two percent of such income.
The matter was taken up by the MUFAP with the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) collectively on behalf of various asset
management companies and their CISs whereby it was contested that mutual funds should be excluded from the ambit of
the SWWF Act as these were not industrial establishments but were pass through investment vehicles and did not employ
workers. The SRB held that mutual funds were included in the definition of financial institutions as per the Financial
Institution (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001 and were, hence, required to register and pay SWWF under the SWWF
Act. Thereafter, MUFAP had taken up the matter with the Sindh Finance Ministry to have CISs / mutual funds excluded from
the applicability of SWWF. In view of the above developments regarding the applicability of SWWF on CISs/mutual funds,
MUFAP recommended that, as a matter of abundant caution, provision in respect of SWWF should be made on a prudent
basis with effect from the date of enactment of the SWWF Act, 2014 (i.e. starting from May 21, 2015). The Fund has made
provision in respect of SWWF starting from March 6, 2018 (i.e. the date of commencement of operations of the Fund).
Had the provision for SWWF not been recorded in the condensed interim financial statements, the NAV per unit would have
been higher by Re 0.11, Re 0.13, Re 0.10 ,Re 0.12 and 0.10 in MCPP-IV, MCPP-V, MCPP-VI, MCPP-VII and MCPP-VIII
(June 30, 2019: Re. 0.010 and Re. 0.006 per unit for MCPP-IV and MCPP-V) respectively.
Connected persons include Al Meezan Investment Management Limited being the Management Company, Central
Depository Company of Pakistan Limited being the Trustee, Meezan Bank Limited being the holding company of the
Management Company, Directors and Executives of the Management Company, other funds under the common
management of the Management Company, Pakistan Kuwait Investment Company (Private) Limited being the associated
company of the Management Company, Al Meezan Investment Management Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund and
unitholders holding 10 percent or more of the Fund's net assets.
Transactions with connected persons / related parties are in the normal course of business, at contracted rates and terms
determined in accordance with market rates.
Remuneration payable to the Management Company and the Trustee is determined in accordance with the provisions of the
NBFC Rules, the NBFC Regulations and the Trust Deed respectively.

14. TAXATION
The Fund's income is exempt from Income Tax as per clause (99) of part I of the Second Schedule to the Income Tax
Ordinance, 2001 subject to the condition that not less than 90 percent of the accounting income for the year as reduced by
capital gains, whether realised or unrealised, is distributed amongst the unit holders. Furthermore, as per regulation 63 of
the Non-Banking Finance Companies and Notified Entities Regulations, 2008, the Fund is required to distribute 90 percent
of the net accounting income other than capital gains to the unit holders. The Fund has not recorded any tax liability in
respect of income relating to the current period as the Management Company intends to distribute at least 90 percent of the
Fund's accounting income for the year ending June 30, 2020 as reduced by capital gains (whether realised or unrealised) to
its unit holders.
The Fund is also exempt from the provisions of section 113 (minimum tax) under clause 11A of Part IV to the Second
Schedule of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. Accordingly Supertax introduced in Finance Act, 2015 is also not applicable
on funds (Section 4B of Income Tax Ordinance, 2001).
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. Consequently, differences can arise between carrying values and the fair
value estimates.
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.
Financial assets which are tradable in an open market are revalued at the market prices prevailing on the statement of
assets and liabilities date. The estimated fair value of all other financial assets and liabilities is considered not to be
significantly different from the respective book values.
- Level 1: Fair value measurements using quoted price (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2: Fair value measurements using inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for
the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- Level 3: Fair value measurement using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data
(i.e. unobservable inputs).
As at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, the Fund held the following financial instruments measured at fair value:

In accordance with the NBFC Regulations, a Collective Investment Scheme (CIS) is required to pay annual fee to the
Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
Effective from July 1, 2019, the SECP vide SRO No. 685(I)/2019 dated June 28, 2019, revised the rate of annual fee
to 0.02% of net assets, applicable on all categories of CISs. Previously, the rate of annual fee applicable to fund of
funds was 0.095%. Accordingly, the Fund has charged SECP Fee at the rate of 0.02% of net assets during the current
period.
There were no contingencies and commitments outstanding as at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019.

9.1 As a consequence of the 18th amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan, in May 2015 the Sindh Workers’ Welfare
Fund Act, 2014 (SWWF Act) had been passed by the Government of Sindh as a result of which every industrial
establishment located in the Province of Sindh, the total income of which in any accounting year is not less than Rs
0.50 million, was required to pay Sindh Workers’ Welfare Fund (SWWF) in respect of that year a sum equal to two
percent of such income. The matter was taken up by the MUFAP with the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) collectively on
behalf of various asset management companies and their CISs whereby it was contested that mutual funds should be
excluded from the ambit of the SWWF Act as these were not industrial establishments but were pass through
investment vehicles and did not employ workers. The SRB held that mutual funds were included in the definition of
financial institutions as per the Financial Institution (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001 and were, hence, required
to register and pay SWWF under the SWWF Act. Thereafter, MUFAP had taken up the matter with the Sindh Finance
Ministry to have CISs / mutual funds excluded from the applicability of SWWF. In view of the above developments
regarding the applicability of SWWF on CISs / mutual funds, MUFAP recommended that, as a matter of abundant
caution, provision in respect of SWWF should be made on a prudent basis with effect from the date of enactment of
the SWWF Act, 2014 (i.e. starting from May 21, 2015).
Had the SWWF not been recorded the NAV per unit of the plan (MCPP IX) would have been higher by Re.0.11.
Connected persons include Al Meezan Investment Management Limited being the Management Company, Central
Depository Company of Pakistan Limited being the Trustee, Meezan Bank Limited being the holding company of the
Management Company, Directors and Executives of the Management Company, other funds under the common

of the NBFC Rules, the NBFC Regulations and the Trust Deed respectively.
Detail of transactions with connected persons and balances with them are as follows:
In accordance with Regulation 60 of the NBFC Regulations, the Management Company is entitled to charge fees and
expenses related to registrar services, accounting, operation and valuation services, related to a Collective Investment
Scheme (CIS).
Until June 19, 2019 there was a maximum cap of 0.1% of the average annual net assets of the scheme or actual
whichever is less, for allocation of such expense to the Fund. However, the SECP vide its SRO 639 dated June 20,
2019 removed the maximum cap of 0.1%.

14. TAXATION
The Fund's income is exempt from income tax as per clause (99) of part I of the Second Schedule to the Income Tax
Ordinance, 2001 subject to the condition that not less than 90 percent of the accounting income for the year as
reduced by capital gains, whether realised or unrealised, is distributed amongst the unit holders. Furthermore, as per
regulation 63 of the NBFC Regulations, the Fund is required to distribute 90 percent of the net accounting income
other than capital gains to the unit holders. The Fund has not recorded any tax liability in respect of income relating to
the current period as the Management Company intends to distribute at least 90 percent of the Fund's accounting
income for the year ending June 30, 2020 as reduced by capital gains (whether realised or unrealised) to its unit
holders.
The Fund is also exempt from the provisions of section 113 (minimum tax) under clause 11A of Part IV of the Second
Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. Consequently, differences can arise between carrying values
and the fair value estimates.
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.
Financial assets which are tradable in an open market are revalued at the market prices prevailing on the statement of
assets and liabilities date. The estimated fair value of all other financial assets and liabilities is considered not to be
significantly different from the respective book values.
- Level 1: Fair value measurements using quoted price (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets or
liabilities.
- Level 2: Fair value measurements using inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- Level 3: Fair value measurement using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data
(i.e. unobservable inputs).
As at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, the Fund held the following financial instruments measured at fair value:

1.1 Meezan Tahaffuz Pension Fund (the Fund) was established under a Trust Deed executed between Al Meezan Investment Management Limited as Pension
Fund Manager and Central Depository Company of Pakistan Limited (CDC) as trustee. The Trust Deed was executed and approved by the Securities and
Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) on May 30, 2007 under the Voluntary Pension System Rules, 2005 (VPS Rules). The registered office of the
Pension Fund Manager of the Fund, is situated at Ground Floor, Block B Finance and Trade Centre Sharah-e-Faisal, Karachi 74400, Pakistan.
The Fund offers a saving mechanism where an individual saves from his / her income during work life in order to retain financial security and comfort in
terms of regular income stream after retirement. The Fund comprises of four Shariah compliant sub funds namely Equity Sub-Fund, Debt Sub-Fund,
Money Market Sub-Fund and Gold Sub-Fund (collectively the "Sub-Funds"). Participants are offered various investment allocation schemes depending
on their investment horizon, return requirements, risk tolerance and any unique circumstances. The Fund offers six types of allocation schemes to the
contributors of the Fund namely High Volatility, Medium Volatility, Low Volatility, Lower Volatility, Variable Volatility and Life Cycle Allocation. The
participants of the Fund voluntarily determine the contribution amount, subject to the minimum limit fixed by the Pension Fund Manager. Allocation
scheme can be selected initially at the time of opening of account and subsequently the allocation and percentages may change twice in a financial
year. The contributions from participants are invested in various instruments belonging to different asset classes to get full benefits of risk minimization
through diversification.
1.2 Summary of significant investment policy for each of the Sub-Fund is as follows:
Equity Sub-Fund
The Equity Sub-Fund shall invest atleast 90% of net assets in listed equity securities based on quarterly average investment calculated on daily basis.
Investment in single company shall not exceed 10% of net assets or paid-up capital of the investee company, whichever is lower. Surplus funds may be
invested in Government Securities with maturity of less than one year or deposits with banks which are rated not less than “A.
Debt Sub-Fund
The Debt Sub-Fund shall invest in debt securities with maturity of not more than 5 years. At least 25 % of net assets of the Debt Sub-Fund shall be
invested in debt securities issued by the Federal Government and up to 25 % of net assets of Debt Sub-Fund may be deposited with banks having not
less than “AA Plus” rating. However, if such debt securities issued by Federal Government are not available, the assets of Debt Sub-Fund may be
deposited in Islamic Commercial Banks, having not less than “A+” rating or Islamic windows of conventional commercial banks, having not less than
“AA” rating or may be invested in Islamic bonds or Sukuks issued by entities wholly-owned by the Federal Government or in such Islamic securities
which are fully guaranteed by the Federal Government.
Gold Sub-Fund
The Gold Sub-Fund consist of physical gold and aims to provide opportunities of capital appreciation and maximum exposure to price of gold in a Shariah
Compliant manner, by investing a significant portion of net assets in deliverable gold base contracts available on Pakistan Mercantile Exchange (PMEX).
1.3 The Fund has been formed to enable the participants to contribute in a diversified portfolio of securities, which are Shariah compliant. Under the Trust
Deed, all the conducts and acts of the Fund are based on Shariah. The Pension Fund Manager has appointed Meezan Bank Limited (MBL) as its Shariah
advisor to ensure that the activities of the Fund are in compliance with the principles of Shariah.
1.4 The Fund is an unlisted pension scheme. Units are offered for public subscription on a continuous basis. The units are non-transferable and can be
redeemed by surrendering them to the Fund at the option of the participants.
1.5 Title to the assets of the Sub Funds are held in the name of CDC as a Trustee of the Fund.
1.6 Meezan Bank Limited acts as its Shariah Advisor to ensure that the activities of the Fund are in compliance with the principles of Shariah.
1.7 The Pension Fund Manager has been assigned a quality rating of AM1 by VIS dated December 31, 2019 (2018: AM1 dated December 28, 2018) and AM1
by PACRA dated December 28, 2019 (2019: AM1 dated June 28, 2019). The rating reflects the Company's experienced management team, structured
investment process and sound quality of systems and processes.
2 BASIS OF PREPARATION
The transactions undertaken by the Fund are in accordance with the process prescribed under the Shariah guidelines issued by the Shariah Advisor and
are accounted for on substance rather than the form prescribed by the earlier referred guidelines. This practice is being followed to comply with the
requirements of the approved accounting standards as applicable in Pakistan.
2.2.1 The condensed interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan for
interim financial reporting. The accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan for interim financial reporting comprises of:
- International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as notified
under the Companies Act, 2017;
- Provisions of the Voluntary Pension System Rules, 2005 (the VPS Rules); and
- Provisions of and or directives issued by the Securities Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
In case where requirements differ, the VPS Rules and the provisions of and or directives issued by SECP shall prevail.
2.2.2 This condensed interim financial information does not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should
therefore be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Fund as at and for the year ended June 30, 2019. However, selected
explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Fund's financial position
and performance since the last financial statements.
2.2.3 This condensed interim financial information is being submitted to the participants as required under Regulation 7(f) of the VPS Rules, 2005.
This condensed interim financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention except for certain investments which are stated at
fair value.
This condensed interim financial information is presented in Pakistani Rupees which is the Fund's functional and presentation currency and rounded to
nearest thousand rupees.
2.5 Standards, interpretations and amendments to approved accounting standards that are not yet effective
The following International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS Standards) as notified under the Companies Act, 2017 and the amendments and
interpretations thereto will be effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 01, 2020:
- Amendment to IFRS 3 ‘Business Combinations’ – Definition of a Business (effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or
after the beginning of annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2020). The IASB has issued amendments aiming to resolve the difficulties that arise
when an entity determines whether it has acquired a business or a group of assets. The amendments clarify that to be considered a business, an
acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability
to create outputs. The amendments include an election to use a concentration test. The standard is effective for transactions in the future and therefore
would not have an impact on past financial statements.
- Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (effective for
annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020). The amendments are intended to make the definition of material in IAS 1 easier to understand and
are not intended to alter the underlying concept of materiality in IFRS Standards. In addition, the IASB has also issued guidance on how to make
materiality judgments when preparing their general purpose financial statements in accordance with IFRS Standards.
- On March 29, 2018, the International Accounting Standards Board (the IASB) has issued a revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting which
is applicable immediately contains changes that will set a new direction for IFRS in the future. The Conceptual Framework primarily serves as a tool for
the IASB to develop standards and to assist the IFRS Interpretations Committee in interpreting them. It does not override the requirements of individual
IFRSs and any inconsistencies with the revised Framework will be subject to the usual due process – this means that the overall impact on standard
setting may take some time to crystallise. The entities may use the Framework as a reference for selecting their accounting policies in the absence of
specific IFRS requirements. In these cases, entities should review those policies and apply the new guidance retrospectively as of January 01, 2020,
unless the new guidance contains specific scope outs.
- Interest Rate Benchmark Reform which amended IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 is applicable for annual financial periods beginning on or after 1 January
2020. The G20 asked the Financial Stability Board (FSB) to undertake a fundamental review of major interest rate benchmarks. Following the review, the
FSB published a report setting out its recommended reforms of some major interest rate benchmarks such as IBORs. Public authorities in many
jurisdictions have since taken steps to implement those recommendations. This has in turn led to uncertainty about the long-term viability of some
interest rate benchmarks. In these amendments, the term 'interest rate benchmark reform' refers to the market-wide reform of an interest rate
benchmark including its replacement with an alternative benchmark rate, such as that resulting from the FSB's recommendations set out in its July 2014
report 'Reforming Major Interest Rate Benchmarks' (the reform). The amendments made provide relief from the potential effects of the uncertainty
caused by the reform. An entity shall apply the exceptions to all hedging relationships directly affected by interest rate benchmark reform. The
amendments are not likely to affect the financial statements of the Fund.
- IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts - (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2019) provides interim guidance on accounting for
regulatory deferral accounts balances while IASB considers more comprehensive guidance on accounting for the effects of rate regulation. In order to
apply the interim standard, an entity has to be rate regulated – i.e. the establishment of prices that can be charged to its customers for goods or services
is subject to oversight and/or approved by an authorized body. The term ‘regulatory deferral account balance’ has been chosen as a neutral descriptor for
expense (income) or variance account that is included or is expected to be included by the rate regulator in establishing the rate(s) that can be charged
to customers and would not otherwise be recognized as an asset or liability under other IFRSs. The standard is not likely to have any effect on Fund’s

10.1 Federal Excise Duty on remuneration of the Pension Fund Manager
As per the requirement of the Finance Act, 2013, Federal Excise Duty (FED) at the rate of 16 percent on the remuneration of the Pension Fund Manager
has been applied effective from June 13, 2013. The Pension Fund Manager is of the view that since the remuneration is already subject to the provincial
sales tax, further levy of FED may result in double taxation, which does not appear to be the spirit of the law, hence, a petition was collectively filed by
the Mutual Fund Association of Pakistan with the Sindh High Court (SHC).
While disposing the above petition, the SHC declared the said provisions to be ultra vires and as a result no FED is payable with effect from July 01, 2011.
However, the tax authorities subsequently filed appeal against the decison of the SHC in the Supreme Court of Paksitan, which is pending for the decison.
Furthermore, the Finance Act 2016, also introduced an amendement to the Fereral Excise Act, 2005 whereby FED was withdrawn on services of different
industries including Non- Banking Financial Institutions, which are for already subject to provisional sales tax.
However, since the appeal is pending in Supreme Court of Pakistan, the Pension Fund Manager, as a matter of abudant caution, is carrying provision for
FED, aggregating to Rs. 15.436 million, Rs. 8.816 million and Rs. 2.449 million for Equity Sub Fund, Debt Sub Fund and Money Market Sub Fund
respectively.
Had the provision not being made, the Net Asset Value per unit as at December 31, 2019 would have been higher by Rs. 1.51 (June 30, 2019: Rs. 1.42)
per unit, Re. 0.76 (June 30, 2019: Re. 0.74) per unit and Re. 0.23 (June 30, 2019: Re. 0.27) per unit for Equity Sub Fund, Debt Sub Fund and Money
Market Sub Fund respectively.
10.2 Sindh Sales Tax on Federal Excise Duty on remuneration of the Pension Fund Manager
It represents amount payable in respect of Sindh Sales Tax at the rate of 13 percent (June 30, 2019: 13 percent) on remuneration of the Pension Fund
Manager through the Sindh Sales Tax on Services Act, 2011, being Sindh Sales Tax accrued on Federal Excise Duty (FED) on remuneration of the Pension
Fund Manager as fully explained in note 10.1 above.
The Finance Act, 2008 had introduced an amendment to the Workers' Welfare Fund Ordinance, 1971 (WWF Ordinance) as a result of which it was
construed that all Collective Investment Schemes (CISs) / mutual funds whose income exceeded Rs 0.5 million in a tax year were brought within the
scope of the WWF Ordinance, thus rendering them liable to pay contribution to WWF at the rate of two percent of their accounting or taxable income,
whichever was higher. In light of this, the Mutual Funds Association of Pakistan (MUFAP) filed a constitutional petition in the Honorable Sindh High Court
(SHC) challenging the applicability of WWF on CISs which is pending adjudication. Similar cases were disposed of by the Peshawar and the Lahore High
Courts in which these amendments were declared unlawful and unconstitutional. However, these decisions were challenged in the Supreme Court of
Pakistan.
Subsequently, the Finance Act, 2015 introduced an amendment under which CISs / mutual funds have been excluded 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 is applicable from tax year 2016. Accordingly, no further provision in respect of WWF was made with effect from 1 July 2015.
On November 10, 2016 the Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) has passed a judgment declaring the amendments made in the Finance Acts 2006 and 2008
pertaining to WWF as illegal citing that WWF was not in the nature of tax and could, therefore, not have been introduced through money bills. Accordingly,
the aforesaid amendments have been struck down by the SCP. The Federal Board of Revenue has filed a petition in the SCP against the said judgment,
which is pending hearing. While the petitions filed by the CISs on the matter are still pending before the SHC, the Mutual Funds Association of Pakistan
(MUFAP) (collectively on behalf of the asset management companies and their CISs) has taken legal and tax opinions on the impact of the SCP judgment
on the CISs petition before the SHC. Both legal and tax advisors consulted were of the view that the judgment has removed the very basis on which the
demands were raised against the CISs. Therefore, there was no longer any liability against the CISs under the WWF Ordinance and that all cases pending
in the SHC or lower appellate forums will now be disposed of in light of the earlier judgment of the SCP.
Furthermore, as a consequence of the 18th amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan, in May 2015 the Sindh Workers’ Welfare Fund Act, 2014 (SWWF
Act) had been passed by the government of Sindh as a result of which every industrial establishment located in SWWF Act as these were not industrial
establishments but were pass through investment vehicles and did not employ workers. The SRB held that mutual funds were included in the definition of
financial institutions as per the Financial Institution (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001 and were, hence, required to register and pay SWWF under
the SWWF Act. However, it may be stated that under Companies Act, 2017, mutual funds are explicitly excluded from the definition of financial
institution. Thereafter, MUFAP has taken up the matter with the Sindh Finance Ministry to have CISs / mutual funds excluded from the applicability of
SWWF. In the view of the above developments regarding the applicability of SWWF on CISs / mutual funds, the MUFAP has recommended that as a
matter of abundant caution provision in respect of SWWF should be made on prudent basis with effect from the date of enactment of the SWWF Act (i.e.
starting from May 21, 2015).
In the current period, SWWF recognized in all funds. Had the provision for SWWF not been recorded in these financial statements of the Fund , the net
asset value of the Fund as at 31 December 2019 would have been higher by Rs. 5.34 per unit (June 30, 2019: Rs. 3.52 per unit), Rs. 1.12 per unit (June
30, 2019: Re. 0.82 per unit) and Re. 0.68 per unit (June 30, 2019: Re. 0.50 per unit) and Re. 0.89 per unit (June 30, 2019: Re. 0.76 per unit) for Equity
Sub Fund, Debt Sub Fund, Money Market Sub Fund and Gold Sub Fund respectively.
There were no other contingencies and commitments outstanding as at December 31, 2019 other than as disclosed in the annual financials statements for
the year ended June 30, 2019.

‘Fair value’ is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or, in its
absence, the most advantageous market to which the Fund has access at that date.
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 quoted
market prices used for financial assets held by the Fund is current bid price.
A Financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing
service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis.
Investments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are carried at fair value. The Management is of the view that the fair value of the remaining financial assets and
liabilities are not significantly different from their carrying values since assets and liabilities are essentially short term in nature.
The Fund measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements:
• Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
• Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
The fair value of traded investments is based on quoted market prices, and have been disclosed in note 5.
The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy.
14.1 The Fund has not disclosed the fair values for these financial assets and financial liabilities, as these are either short term in nature or reprice periodically. Therefore, their carrying amounts
are reasonable approximation of fair value.
15 TAXATION
The income of the Fund is exempt from income tax under clause 57(3) (viii) of part I of the Second Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. Therefore, no provision has been made for
current and deferred taxation in these financial statements.
The Fund is also exempt from the provisions of section 113 (minimum tax) under clause 11A of Part IV to the Second Schedule of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. Accordingly, Supertax
and any other taxes introduced in Finance Act, 2015 is also not applicable on fund.
