Meezan Islamic Fund (MIF)
Type of Fund
Open end equity fund
Objective
The objective of MIF is to provide optimum returns to the investors from investment in Shariah Compliant
stocks for the given level of risk, while abiding by all applicable rules and regulations. Total return refers
to the returns from capital gains (realized and unrealized), dividend income and other income from
Shariah Compliant investments.
During the year, the fund increased its equity exposure to a maximum of 97.77%. However, it maintained
an average exposure close to 95.74% in equities during the year, while closing the period at around
95.95%. The fund raised exposure to the Cement sector significantly during the period under review owing
to rebound in economic activity, Exposure to the Oil and Gas Exploration sector was trimmed in line with
the theme to move towards sectors benefiting from rising economic activity in the country. As a result,
there was also a general trend in liquidating from defensive plays such as Power Generation, Fertilizer and
OMCs in addition to Oil Exploration Sector.

1.1 Meezan Islamic Fund (the Fund) was established under a Trust Deed executed between Al Meezan Investment
Management Limited (Al Meezan) as Management Company and Central Depository Company of Pakistan Limited
(CDC) as Trustee. The Trust Deed was executed on June 16, 2003 and was approved by the Securities and
Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) on June 4, 2003 under the Non-Banking Finance Companies
(Establishment and Regulation) Rules, 2003, (NBFC Rules) and the Non-Banking Finance Companies and Notified
Entities Regulations, 2008, (NBFC Regulations, 2008). The Management Company has been licensed by the
Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) to act as an Asset Management Company under the 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. The
Management Company 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. The investment objectives and policies are explained in
the Fund's offering document.
1.3 The Fund is an open-end fund listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange Limited. 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
categorized as a Equity Scheme in accordance with Circular 7 of 2009 issued by Securities and Exchange
Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
1.4 The Management Company has been assigned a quality rating of AM1 by VIS dated December 31, 2020 (2020: AM1
dated December 31, 2019) and by PACRA dated June 23, 2021 (2020: AM1 dated June 26, 2020). The rating reflects
the Company’s experienced management team, structured investment process and sound quality of systems and
processes.
1.5 The title to the assets of the Fund are held in the name of Central Depository Company of Pakistan Limited as the
Trustee of the Fund.
1.6 During the previous year, the Fund had made excess distribution amounting to Rs 709.398 million which was disclosed
in the statement of movement in the Unit holders’ Fund as “over distribution”. In the current year, the Fund had profits
available for distribution in excess of the minimum threshold specified in note 15 to the financial statements and the
Fund has utilised such profits to set-off excess distribution made in the previous year.
1.7 The Trust Act, 1882 has been repealed due to promulgation of Provincial Trust Act “Sindh Trusts Act, 2020” as
empowered under the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan. Various new requirements including
registration under the Trust Act have been introduced. The Management Company has submitted Collective
Investment Scheme Trust Deed to Registrar (acting under Sindh Trusts Act, 2020) for registration to fulfill the
requirement for registration of Trust Deed under Sindh Trusts Act, 2020.
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 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 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 Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) 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.
3.2 Standards, interpretations and amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are
effective in the current year
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, 2020. However, these do not have any significant impact on the Fund's
operations and, therefore, have not been detailed in these financial statements.
3.3 Standards, interpretations and amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are not yet
effective
There are certain standards, amendments and interpretations that are mandatory for the Fund's accounting period
beginning on or after July 1, 2021 but are considered not to be relevant or will not have any significant effect on the
Fund's operations and are therefore not disclosed in these financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in
Pakistan requires the management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of
policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates, judgements and
associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors including expectations of future
events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making
judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on
an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimate is revised if the
revision affects only that year, or in the year of revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future
years.
The estimates and judgements that have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Fund relate to
classification, valuation and impairment of financial assets (notes 4.3 and 6).
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for investments which
have been classified as 'at fair value through profit or loss' and measured at their respective fair values.
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the Fund operates. These financial statements are presented in Pakistani Rupee, which is the Fund's functional
and presentation currency.
4.1 The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These
policies have been applied consistently to all the years presented.
These comprise balances with banks in savings and current accounts, and other short-term highly liquid investments
with original maturities of three months or less.
Equity instruments are instruments that meet the definition of equity from the issuer's perspective and are instruments
that do not contain a contractual obligation to pay and that evidence a residual interest in the issuer's net assets.
The dividend income for equity securities classified under Fair Value through Profit or Loss is recognised in the Income
Statement.
Since all investments in equity instruments have been designated as FVPL, the subsequent movement in the fair value
of equity securities is routed through the Income Statement.
4.3.2 Impairment
The fund assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit loss (ECL) associated with its financial assets (other
than debt instruments) carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The fund recognises loss allowances for such losses at
each reporting date. The measurement of ECL reflects:
- An unbiased and probability weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes;
- Reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about
past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date on which the
Fund commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases / sales of assets require delivery of securities
within two days from the transaction date as per the stock exchange regulations.
Financial assets are recognised at the time the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
These are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs except for financial assets carried 'at fair value
through profit or loss'. Financial assets carried 'at fair value through profit or loss' are initially recognised at fair value
and transaction costs are recognised in the Income Statement.
4.3.5 Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or
have been transferred and the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Any gain or loss
on derecognition of financial assets is taken to the Income Statement.
4.3.6 Derivatives
Derivative instruments are initially recognised at fair value and subsequent to initial measurement each derivative
instrument is remeasured to its fair value and the resultant gain or loss is recognised in the Income Statement.
Financial liabilities are recognised at the time when the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instruments. These are initially recognised at fair values and subsequently stated at amortised cost.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired. Any gain
or loss on derecognition of financial liabilities is taken to the Income Statement.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the 'Statement of Assets and
Liabilities' when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle
on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Provisions are recognised when the Fund has a present, legal or constructive, obligation as a result of past events, it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a
reliable estimate of the obligation can be made. Provisions are regularly reviewed and adjusted to reflect the current
best estimate.
The Net Asset Value (NAV) per unit as disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is calculated by dividing the
net assets of the Fund by the number of units in circulation at the year end.
Units issued are recorded at the offer price, determined by the Management Company for the applications received by
the Management Company / distributors during business hours on that day. The offer price represents the Net Asset
Value (NAV) per unit as of the close of the business day, plus the allowable sales load and provision of any duties and
charges if applicable. The sales load is payable to the Management Company / distributors.
Units redeemed are recorded at the redemption price applicable to units for which the Management Company /
distributors receive redemption application during business hours of that day. The redemption price is equal to NAV as
of the close of the business day, less an amount as the Management Company may consider to be an appropriate
provision of duties and charges.
Distributions to the unit holders are recognised upon declaration and approval by the Board of Directors of the
Management Company. Based on Mutual Funds Association of Pakistan's (MUFAP) guidelines duly consented by the
SECP, distribution for the year also includes portion of income already paid on units redeemed during the year.
Distributions declared subsequent to the year end reporting date are considered as non-adjusting events and are
recognised in the financial statements of the year in which such distributions are declared and approved by the Board
of Directors of the Management Company.
4.10 Element of income / (loss) and capital gains / (losses) included in prices of units issued less those in units
redeemed
Element of income represents the difference between Net Asset Value (NAV) per unit on the issuance or redemption
date, as the case may be, of units and the NAV per unit at the beginning of the relevant accounting period. Further, the
element of income is a transaction of capital nature and the receipt and payment of element of income is taken to unit
holders' fund. However, to maintain the same ex-dividend NAV of all units outstanding on the accounting date, net
element of income contributed on issue of units lying in unit holders fund is refunded on units in the same proportion as
dividend bears to accounting income available for distribution.
- Gains / (losses) arising on sale of investments are included in Income Statement and are recognised when the
transaction takes place.
- Unrealised gains / (losses) arising on remeasurement of investments classified as financial assets 'at fair value
through profit or loss' are included in the Income Statement in the period in which they arise.
- Dividend income is recognised when the Fund's right to receive the same is established i.e. on the
commencement of date of book closure of the investee company / institution declaring the dividend.
- Profit on saving account with banks is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective yield method.
4.12 Expenses
All expenses chargeable to the Fund including remuneration of the Management Company and Trustee and annual fee
of the SECP are recognised in the Income Statement on an accrual basis.
Current
Provision for current taxation is based on taxable income at the current rates of taxes after taking into account tax
credits and rebates, if any. The charge for current tax is calculated using the prevailing tax rates.
Deferred
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of all temporary differences arising
from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the
corresponding tax bases used in the computation of the taxable profit.
The deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are
recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences, unused tax losses and tax credits can be utilized. Deferred tax is calculated at the rates that are expected
to apply to the period when the differences reverse based on enacted tax rates.
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 percent of its accounting income for the year, as
reduced by capital gains, whether realised or unrealised, is distributed amongst the unitholders. Furthermore, for the
purpose of determining distribution of at least 90 percent of the accounting income, the income distributed through
bonus units shall not be taken into account.
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 the Finance Act, 2015 is also not
applicable on funds (Section 4B of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001).
Earnings / (loss) per unit is calculated by dividing the net income / (loss) of the year after taxation of the Fund by the
weighted average number of units outstanding during the year.
Earnings / (loss) per unit (EPU) has not been disclosed as, in the opinion of the management, the determination of
cumulative weighted average number of outstanding units for calculating EPU is not practicable.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are accounted for in Pakistani Rupees at the exchange rates
prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such
transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates for monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement.
5.1 This includes balance maintained with Meezan Bank Limited (a related party) that has an expected profit rate of 2.5%
(2020: 3%) per annum. Other profit and loss sharing accounts have expected profit rates ranging from 1.50% to 7.32%
per annum (2020: 1.50% to 7.50% per annum).

have a nominal value of Rs 5 each and K-Electric Limited which have a nominal value of Rs 3.5 each.
6.1.2 Investments include 1,060,000 shares of Engro Corporation Limited, having market value of Rs 312.29 million as at
June 30, 2021 (2020: Rs. 310.50 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.
6.1.3 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 year ended June 30, 2020, 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 Court 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.
As at June 30, 2021, the market value of bonus shares of the Fund withheld by certain companies at the time of
declaration of bonus shares amounted to Rs. 62.612 million (2020: Rs. 49.076 million).

8.1 As per regulation 61 of the NBFC Regulations, 2008, the Management Company is entitled to a remuneration equal to
an amount not exceeding the maximum rate of management fee as disclosed in the Offering Document subject to the
total expense ratio limit. Keeping in view the maximum allowable threshold, the Management Company has charged its
remuneration at the rate of 2% (2020: 2%) per annum of the average net assets of the Fund during the year ended
June 30, 2021. The remuneration is payable to the Management Company monthly in arrears.
8.2 During the year, an amount of Rs 80.611 million (2020: Rs 65.310 million) was charged on account of sales tax on
management fee levied through the Sindh Sales Tax on Services Act, 2011, and an amount of Rs 80.812 million
(2020: Rs 70.341 million) has been paid to the Management Company which acts as a collecting agent.
8.3 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).
The management company based on its own discretion has charged allocated expenses at the rate of 0.1% of
average annual net assets from July 1, 2020 to March 9, 2021 and 0.11% from March 10, 2021 to June 30, 2021
(2020: 0.1%).
Accordingly, the Management Company has charged selling and marketing expenses based on its discretion while
keeping in view the overall return and the total expense ratio limit of the Fund as defined under the NBFC Regulations,
2008 at the rate of 0.4% of average annual net assets of the Fund from July 1, 2020 to March 9, 2021 and at 1% from
March 10, 2021 to June 30, 2021 (2020: 0.4%).
9.1 The Trustee is entitled to monthly remuneration for services rendered to the Fund under the provisions of the trust
deed as follows:
9.2 During the year, an amount of Rs 4.161 million (2020: Rs. 3.396 million) was charged on account of sales tax on
remuneration of the Trustee levied through the Sindh Sales Tax on Services Act, 2011 and an amount of Rs 4.050
million (2020: Rs 3.423 million) was paid to the Trustee which acts as a collecting agent.
In accordance with the NBFC Regulations, 2008, a collective investment scheme classified as an Equity Scheme is
required to pay annual fee to the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan at the rate of 0.02% (2020: 0.02%)
per annum of average annual net assets of the Fund.
11.1 According to the instructions of the Shariah Advisor, income earned by the Fund from prohibited sources should be
donated to charitable purposes.
During the year ended June 30, 2021, non-shariah compliant income amounting to Rs 37.987 million (2020: Rs 31.482
million) was charged as an expense in the books of the Fund, and Rs. 22.500 million was disbursed to following
charitable welfare organisations respectively:
11.2 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 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 financial statements of the Fund for the period from May 21,
2015 to June 30, 2021, the net asset value of the Fund as at June 30, 2021 would have been higher by Re. 0.97 per
unit (2020: Re 0.68 per unit).
11.3 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 264.474 million is being retained in the
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, 2021 would have been higher by Re 0.49 (2020:
Re 0.51) per unit.
There were no contingencies and commitments outstanding as at June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020.
The Total Expense Ratio (TER) of the Fund as at June 30, 2021 is 3.99% (2020: 3.24%) which includes 0.87% (2020:
0.36%) representing government levies on the Fund such as provision for Sindh Workers' Welfare Fund, Sales Taxes,
Federal Excise Duties, annual fee to the SECP etc. This ratio is within the maximum limit of 4.5% prescribed under the
NBFC Regulations for a collective investment scheme categorised as an Equity Scheme.
15 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. Since the management has distributed the
required minimum percentage of income earned by the Fund for the year ended June 30, 2021 to the unitholders in the
manner as explained above, no provision for taxation has been made in these financial statements during the year.
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 the Finance Act, 2015 is also not
applicable on funds as per Section 4B of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.

The Fund’s objective in managing risk is the creation and protection of unit holders’ value. Risk is inherent in the
Fund’s activities, but it is managed through monitoring and controlling activities which are primarily set up to be
performed based on limits established by the Management Company, the constitutive documents of the Fund and the
regulations and directives of the SECP. These limits reflect the business strategy and market environment of the Fund
as well as the level of the risk that the Fund is willing to accept. The Board of Directors of the Management Company
supervises the overall risk management approach within the Fund. The Fund is exposed to market risk, liquidity risk
and credit risk arising from the financial instruments it holds.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of
changes in market prices.
The Management Company manages the market risk through diversification of the investment portfolio and by
following the internal guidelines established by the Investment Committee.
Market risk comprises of three types of risks: yield / interest rate risk, currency risk and price risk.
Profit rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result
of changes in market interest rates. As of June 30, 2021, the Fund is exposed to such risk on its balances held
with banks. The Investment Committee of the Fund reviews the portfolio of the Fund on a regular basis to ensure
that the risk is managed within the acceptable limits.
The Fund's profit rate risk arises from the balances in savings accounts. At June 30, 2021, if there had been
increase / decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates or in rates with all other variables held constant, net
assets of the Fund for the year then ended would have been higher / lower by Rs 20.506 million (2020: Rs
17.473 million).
As at June 30, 2021, the Fund does not hold any fixed rate instrument that may expose the Fund to fixed interest
rate risk.
The composition of the Fund's investment portfolio and profit rates are expected to change over time. Accordingly, the
sensitivity analysis prepared as of June 30, 2021 is not necessarily indicative of the impact on the Fund's net assets of
future movements in interest rates.
Profit rate sensitivity position for on-balance sheet financial instruments is based on the earlier of contractual repricing
or maturity date and for off-balance sheet instruments is based on the settlement date.
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of
changes in foreign exchange rates. The Fund does not have any financial instruments in foreign currencies and
hence is not exposed to such risk.
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk) whether those changes
are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar
financial instruments traded in the market.
The Fund is exposed to equity price risk on investments held by the Fund and classified as 'at fair value through
profit or loss'. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Fund diversifies its
portfolio within the eligible stocks prescribed in the Trust Deed. The NBFC Regulations also limit individual equity
securities to no more than 15% of net assets and issued capital of the investee company and sector exposure
limit to 35% of the net assets.
In case of 1% increase / decrease in KMI 30 index on June 30, 2021, with all other variables held constant, the
total income of the Fund for the year would increase / decrease by Rs 328.863 million (2020: Rs. 233.810 million)
and the net assets of the Fund would increase / decrease by the same amount as a result of gains / losses on
equity securities classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
The analysis is based on the assumption that equity index had increased / decreased by 1% with all other
variables held constant and all the Fund's equity instruments moved according to the historical correlation with
the index. This represents management's best estimate of a reasonable possible shift in the KMI 30 Index,
having regard to the historical volatility of the index. The composition of the Fund's investment portfolio and the
correlation thereof to the KMI 30 Index, is expected to change over time. Accordingly, the sensitivity analysis
prepared as of June 30, 2021 is not necessarily indicative of the effect on the Fund's net assets of future
movements in the level of the KMI 30 Index.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund may not be able to generate sufficient cash resources to settle its obligation in full
as they fall due or can only do so on terms that are materially disadvantageous to the Fund.
The Fund is exposed to daily settlement of equity securities and daily redemptions at the option of unit holders. The
Fund's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that the Fund will always have sufficient liquidity
to meet its liabilities when due under both normal and stressed conditions. The Fund's policy is, therefore, to invest the
majority of its assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed and are
considered readily realisable.
As per the NBFC Regulations, the Fund can borrow in the short-term to ensure settlement. The maximum limit of
which is fifteen percent of the net assets upto 90 days and would be secured by the assets of the Fund.
In order to manage the Fund's overall liquidity, the Fund may also withhold daily redemption requests in excess of ten
percent of the units in issue and such requests would be treated as redemption requests qualifying for being
processed on the next business day. Such procedure would continue until the outstanding redemption requests come
down to a level below ten percent of the units then in issue. The Fund did not withhold any redemptions during the
year.
The table below summaries the maturity profile of the Fund's financial instruments. The analysis into relevant maturity
groupings is based on the remaining period at the end of the reporting period to the contractual maturity dates.
However, the assets and liabilities that are receivable / payable on demand including bank balances have been
included in the maturity grouping of one month:
18.3.1 Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss to the Fund by failing to
discharge its obligation as it falls due. The table below analyses the Fund's maximum exposure to credit risk:

Balance as per Balance as per
Maximum Maximum
statement of statement of
exposure to exposure to
assets and assets and

liabilities liabilities
--------------------------------------- Rupees in '000 ---------------------------------------
The maximum exposure to credit risk before any credit enhancement as at June 30, 2021 is the carrying amount of the
financial assets. Difference in the balance as per the statement of assets and liabilities and maximum exposure is due
to the fact that investments in equity securities of Rs 32,866.340 million (2020: 23,381.047 million) is not exposed to
credit risk.
There is a possibility of default by participants or failure of the financial market / stock exchanges, the depositories, the
settlements or clearing systems, etc. Settlement risk on equity securities is considered minimal because of inherent
controls established in the settlement process. The Fund's policy is to enter into financial contracts in accordance with
internal risk management policies and instruments guidelines approved by the Investment Committee.
The Fund's significant credit risk (excluding credit risk relating to settlement of equity securities) arises mainly on
account of its placements in banks and mark-up accrued thereon, dividend receivable and receivable against sale of
units and against investments. The credit rating profile of balances with banks is as follows:
% of financial assets
Rating exposed to credit risk
2021 2020
Concentration of credit risk exists when changes in economic or industry factors similarly affect groups of
counterparties whose aggregate credit exposure is significant in relation to the Fund's total credit exposure. The Funds
portfolio of financial assets is mainly held with credit worthy counterparties thereby mitigating any credit risk.
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).
As at June 30, 2021 the Fund held the following financial instruments measured at fair values:
The unit holders' fund is represented by redeemable units. These units are entitled to dividends and to payment of a
proportionate share based on the Fund's Net Asset Value per unit on the redemption date. The relevant movements
are shown on the 'Statement of Movement in Unit Holders' Fund'.
The Fund has no restriction on the subscription and redemption of units. As required under the NBFC Regulations,
every open end scheme shall maintain fund size (i.e. net assets of the Fund) of Rs 100 million at all times during the
life of the scheme. The Fund has historically maintained and complied with the requirement of minimum fund size at all
times.
The Fund's objectives when managing unit holders' funds are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern so
that it can continue to provide returns to the unit holders and to maintain a strong base of assets to meet unexpected
losses or opportunities.
In accordance with the risk management policies as stated in note 18, the Fund endeavours to invest the subscriptions
received in appropriate investment avenues while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet redemptions, such liquidity
being augmented by disposal of investments or short-term borrowings, where necessary.
Following are the details in respect of members of the Investment Committee of the Fund:

REPORT OF THE FUND MANAGER
Al Meezan Mutual Fund (AMMF)
Type of Fund
Open end equity fund
Objective
The objective of AMMF is to provide maximum total return to the shareholders by investing in “Shariah
compliant” equity avenues for the given level of risk, while abiding by the Regulations and any other
prevailing rules and regulations.
Strategy, Investment Policy and Asset Allocation
The performance of AMMF is directly linked to the performance of the equity market. The fund manager,
Al Meezan Investment Management Limited, actively manages the fund with an aim to provide maximum
risk adjusted total return to the investors. To control risk, the exposure in growth stocks is balanced
against that of high dividend stocks. Moreover, the fund manager strives to reduce equity exposure in
times when the market is trading above valuations while increasing equity exposure near troughs.
AMMF started the year with a 96.68% exposure to equities, touched a maximum of 98.25% and minimum
of around 93.85% during the fiscal year, on average remaining around 95.81% invested and while
closing the year at 94.56% invested percentage. The fund raised exposure to the Cement sector
significantly during the period under review owing to rebound in economic activity, Exposure to the Oil
and Gas Exploration sector was trimmed in line with the theme to move towards sectors benefiting from
rising economic activity in the country. As a result, there was also a general trend in liquidating from
defensive plays such as Power Generation, Fertilizer and OMCs in addition to Oil Exploration Sector.

1.1 Al Meezan Mutual Fund (the Fund) was constituted by virtue of a scheme of arrangement for conversion of Al Meezan
Mutual Fund Limited (AMMFL) into an Open 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 17, 2011 in accordance with the provisions of the Non-
Banking Finance Companies and Notified Entities Regulations, 2008 (the NBFC Regulations). The Management
Company has been licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) to act as an Asset
Management Company under the Non-Banking Finance Companies (Establishment and Regulation) Rules, 2003 (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 provide the unit holders safe and stable stream of halal income on their investments and
to generate superior long-term risk adjusted returns. The Fund shall also keep an exposure in short-term instruments
for the purpose of maintaining liquidity and to capitalise on exceptional returns, if available, at any given point of time.
The objective of the Fund is to provide the maximum total return to the unit holders from investment in "Shariah
Compliant" equity investments for the given level of risk, while abiding by the regulations and any other prevailing rules
and regulations. At least seventy percent of its net assets shall remain invested in listed equity securities during the
year based on quarterly average investment calculated on daily basis. The remaining net assets shall be invested in
cash and near cash instruments. Under the Trust Deed, all conducts and acts of the Fund are based on Shariah.
Meezan Bank Limited (MBL) acts 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 fund listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange Limited. Units of the Fund 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 categorised as an Equity Scheme.
1.4 The Management Company has been assigned a quality rating of AM1 by VIS dated December 31, 2020 (2020: AM1
dated December 31, 2019) and by PACRA dated June 23, 2021 (2020: AM1 dated June 26, 2020). The rating reflects
the Company’s experienced management team, structured investment process and sound quality of systems and
processes.
1.5 The title to the assets of the Fund are held in the name of Central Depository Company of Pakistan Limited as the
Trustee of the Fund.
1.6 During the year ended June 30, 2020, the Fund had made excess distribution amounting to Rs 22.499 million which
was disclosed in the statement of movement in the Unit holders’ Fund as “over distribution”. In the current year, the
Fund had profits available for distribution in excess of the minimum threshold specified in note 15 to the financial
statements and the Fund has utilised such profits to set-off excess distribution made in the previous year.
1.7 The Trust Act, 1882 has been repealed due to promulgation of Provincial Trust Act “Sindh Trusts Act, 2020” as
empowered under the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan. Various new requirements including
registration under the Trust Act have been introduced. The Management Company has submitted Collective
Investment Scheme Trust Deed to Registrar (acting under Sindh Trusts Act, 2020) to fulfill the requirement for
registration of Trust Deed under Sindh Trusts Act, 2020.
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 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 Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) 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, (the NBFC Regulations) and the requirements of
the Trust Deed.
3.2 Standards, interpretations and amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are
effective in the current year
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, 2020. However, these do not have any significant impact on the Fund's
operations and, therefore, have not been detailed in these financial statements.
3.3 Standards, interpretations and amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are not yet
effective
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, 2021. However, these do not have any significant
impact on the Fund's operations and, therefore, have not been detailed in these financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in
Pakistan requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of
policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates, judgments and
associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors including expectations of future
events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making
judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on
an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimate is revised if the
revision affects only that year, or in the year of revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future
years.
The estimates and judgments that have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Fund relate to
classification, valuation and impairment of financial assets (notes 4.3 and 6) and provision for taxation (note 4.13 and
15).
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except that investments classified
as 'at fair value through profit or loss' which are measured at their fair values.
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the Company operates. These financial statements are presented in Pakistani Rupee, which is the Fund's
functional and presentation currency.
4.1 The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These
policies have been applied consistently to all the years.
These comprise balances with banks in savings and current accounts and other short-term highly liquid investments
with original maturities of three months or less.
Financial assets are recognised at the time the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
These are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs except for financial assets carried 'at fair value
through profit or loss'. Financial assets carried 'at fair value through profit or loss' are initially recognised at fair value
and transaction costs are recognised in the Income Statement.
a) Equity instruments
Equity instruments are instruments that meet the definition of equity from the issuer's perspective and are instruments
that do not contain a contractual obligation to pay and that evidence a residual interest in the issuer's net assets.
All equity investments are required to be measured in the “Statement of Assets and Liabilities” at fair value, with gains
and losses recognised in the “Income Statement”, except where an irrevocable election has been made at the time of
initial recognition to measure the investment at FVOCI. The management considers its investment in equity securities
being managed as a group of assets and hence has classified them as FVPL. Accordingly, the irrevocable option has
not been considered.
The dividend income for equity securities classified under FVPL is recognised in the Income Statement.
Since all investments in equity instruments have been designated as FVPL, the subsequent movement in the fair value
of equity securities is routed through the Income Statement.
b) Impairment
The Fund assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit loss (ECL) associated with it's financial assets
(other than debt instruments) carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The Fund recognises loss allowances for such
losses at each reporting date. The measurement of ECL reflects:
- An unbiased and probability weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes;
- The time value of money; and
- Reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about
past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date on which the
Fund commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases / sales of assets require delivery of securities
within two days from the transaction date as per the stock exchange regulations.
4.3.4 Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or
have been transferred and the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Any gain or loss
on derecognition of financial assets is taken to the Income Statement.
4.3.5 Derivatives
Derivative instruments are initially recognised at fair value and subsequent to initial measurement each derivative
instrument is remeasured to its fair value and the resultant gain or loss is recognised in the Income Statement.
Financial liabilities are recognised at the time when the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instruments. These are initially recognised at fair values and subsequently stated at amortised cost.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired. Any gain
or loss on derecognition of financial liabilities is taken to the Income Statement.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the 'Statement of Assets and
Liabilities' when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle
on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
4.6 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Fund has a present, legal or constructive, obligation as a result of past events, it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a
reliable estimate of the obligation can be made. Provisions are regularly reviewed and adjusted to reflect the current
best estimate.
The Net Asset Value (NAV) per unit as disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is calculated by dividing the
net assets of the Fund by the number of units in circulation at the year end.
Units issued are recorded at the offer price, determined by the Management Company for the applications received by
the Management Company / distributors during business hours on that day. The offer price represents the Net Asset
Value (NAV) per unit as of the close of the business day, plus the allowable sales load and provision of any duties and
charges, if applicable. The sales load is payable to the Management Company.
Units redeemed are recorded at the redemption price applicable to units for which the Management Company receives
redemption applications during business hours of that day. The redemption price is equal to NAV as of the close of the
business day, less an amount as the Management Company may consider to be an appropriate provision of duties and
charges.
Distributions to the unit holders are recognised upon declaration and approval by the Board of Directors of the
Management Company. Based on Mutual Funds Association of Pakistan's (MUFAP) guidelines duly consented by the
SECP, distribution for the year also includes portion of income already paid on units redeemed during the year.
Distributions declared subsequent to the year end reporting date are considered as non-adjusting events and are
recognised in the financial statements of the year in which such distributions are declared and approved by the Board
of Directors of the Management Company.
4.10 Element of income / (loss) and capital gains / (losses) included in prices of units issued less those in units
redeemed
Element of income represents the difference between Net Asset Value (NAV) per unit on the issuance or redemption
date, as the case may be, of units and the NAV per unit at the beginning of the relevant accounting period. Further, the
element of income is a transaction of capital nature and the receipt and payment of element of income is taken to unit
holders' fund. However, to maintain the same ex-dividend NAV of all units outstanding on the accounting date, net
element of income contributed on issue of units lying in unit holders fund is refunded on units in the same proportion as
dividend bears to accounting income available for distribution.
- Gains / (losses) arising on sale of investments are recorded at the date at which the transaction takes place.
- Unrealised gains / (losses) arising on re-measurement of investments classified as 'financial assets at fair value
through profit or loss' are recorded in the period in which these arise.
- Profit on saving account with banks is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective yield method.
- Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive the dividend is established i.e. on the commencement of
date of book closure of the investee company / institution declaring the dividend.
4.12 Expenses
All expenses chargeable to the Fund including remuneration of the Management Company and Trustee and annual fee
of the SECP are recognised in the Income Statement on an accrual basis.
4.13 Taxation
Current
Provision for current taxation is based on taxable income at the current rates of taxes after taking into account tax
credits and rebates, if any. The charge for current tax is calculated using the prevailing tax rates.
Deferred
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of all temporary differences arising
from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the
corresponding tax bases used in the computation of the taxable profit. The deferred tax liabilities are generally
recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable
that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and tax
credits can be utilised. Deferred tax is calculated at the rates that are expected to apply to the period when the
differences reverse, based on enacted tax rates.
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 the Finance Act, 2015 is also not
applicable on funds (Section 4B of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001).
Earnings / (loss) per unit is calculated by dividing the net income / (loss) of the year after taxation of the Fund by the

6.1.2 202,000 shares (June 30, 2020: 202,000 shares) of Engro Corporation Limited, having market value of Rs 59.51
million (June 30, 2020: Rs 59.17 million) as at June 30, 2021, have been pledged as collateral in favour of National
Clearing Company Pakistan Limited against exposure margins and mark to market losses.
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 judgment 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 2019. During the year ended June 30, 2021, the CISs had filed a fresh constitutional
petition via CP 4653 dated July 11, 2019. In this regard, on July 15, 2019, the Honourable High of Sindh had issued
notices to the relevant parties and had 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.
Further, the 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 year
were not withheld by the investee companies.
As at June 30, 2021, the market value of bonus shares of the Fund withheld by certain companies at the time of
declaration of bonus shares amounted to Rs.9.261 million (2020: Rs 7.794 million).

8.2 During the year, an amount of Rs. 12.179 million (2020: Rs. 10.968 million) was charged on account of sales tax on

9.2 During the year, an amount of Rs 0.739 million (2020: Rs. 0.678 million) was charged on account of sales tax on
remuneration of the Trustee levied through the Sindh Sales Tax on Services Act, 2011 and an amount of Rs. 0.727
million (2020: Rs. 0.689 million) was paid to the Trustee which acts as a collecting agent.
In accordance with the NBFC Regulations, 2008, a collective investment scheme classified as an "Equity scheme" is
required to pay annual fee to the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan.
11.1 According to the instructions of the Shariah Advisor, any income earned by the Fund from investments whereby
portion of the investment of investee company has been made in Shariah non-compliant avenues, such proportion of
income of the Fund from those investments should be given away for charitable purposes directly by the Fund.
Accordingly, during the year ended June 30, 2021, Shariah non-compliant income amounting to Rs 5.697 million (2020

11.2 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 made 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 is being retained in the
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, 2021 would have been higher by Re 0.15 (2020:
Re 0.14) per unit.
Had the provision for SWWF not been recorded in the financial statements of the Fund for the period from May 21,
2015 to June 30, 2021, the net asset value of the Fund as at June 30, 2021 would have been higher by Re. 0.28 per
unit (2020: Re 0.18 per unit).
12.1 There were no contingencies and commitments outstanding as at June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020.

The Total Expense Ratio (TER) of the Fund as at June 30, 2021 is 4.07% (2020: 3.41%) which includes 0.87%
representing government levies on the Fund such as provision for Sindh Workers' Welfare Fund, Sales Taxes, Federal
Excise Duties, Annual fee to the SECP etc. This ratio is within the maximum limit of 4.5% prescribed under the NBFC
Regulations for a collective investment scheme categorised as an Equity Scheme.
15 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. Since the management has distributed the
required minimum percentage of income earned by the Fund for the year ended June 30, 2021 to the unit holders in
the manner as explained above, no provision for taxation has been made in these financial statements during the year.
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 the Finance Act, 2015 is also not
applicable on Funds as per Section 4B of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001.

Market risk comprises of three types of risks: profit risk, currency risk and price risk.
Profit rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result
of changes in market interest rates. As of June 30, 2021, the Fund is exposed to such risk on its balances held
with banks. The Investment Committee of the Fund reviews the portfolio of the Fund on a regular basis to ensure
that the risk is managed within the acceptable limits.
Presently, the Fund holds balances with banks which expose the Fund to cash flow profit rate risk. In case of 100
basis points increase / decrease in applicable rates on the last repricing date with all other variables held
constant, the net income / loss for the year and net assets of the Fund would have been higher / lower by Rs.
2.852 million (2020: Rs. 2.559 million).
As at June 30, 2021, the Fund does not hold any fixed rate instrument that may expose the Fund to fair value
profit rate risk.
The composition of the Fund's investment portfolio and KIBOR rates are expected to change over time. Accordingly,
the sensitivity analysis prepared as of June 30, 2021 is not necessarily indicative of the impact on the Fund's net
assets of future movements in profit rates.
Profit rate sensitivity position for on-balance sheet financial instruments is based on the earlier of contractual repricing
or maturity date and for off-balance sheet instruments is based on the settlement date.
The Fund's profit rate sensitivity related to financial assets and financial liabilities as at June 30, 2021 can be
determined as follows:
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of
changes in foreign exchange rates. The Fund does not have any financial instruments in foreign currencies and
hence is not exposed to such risk.
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market prices (other than those arising from profit rate risk or currency risk) whether those changes
are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar
financial instruments traded in the market.
The Fund is exposed to equity price risk on investments held by the Fund and classified as 'at fair value through
profit or loss'. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Fund diversifies its
portfolio within the eligible stocks prescribed in the Trust Deed. The NBFC Regulations also limit individual equity
securities to no more than 15% of net assets and issued capital of the investee company and sector exposure
limit to 40% of the net assets.
In case of 1% increase / decrease in KMI 30 index on June 30, 2021, with all other variables held constant, total
income of the fund would increase / decrease by Rs 46.504 million (2020: Rs 37.823 million) and the net assets
of the Fund would increase / decrease by the same amount as a result of gains / losses on equity securities
classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
The analysis is based on the assumption that equity index had increased / decreased by 1% with all other
variables held constant and all the Fund's equity instruments moved according to the historical correlation with
the index. This represents management's best estimate of a reasonable possible shift in the KMI 30 Index,
having regard to the historical volatility of the index. The composition of the Fund's investment portfolio and the
correlation thereof to the KMI 30 Index, is expected to change over time. Accordingly, the sensitivity analysis
prepared as of June 30, 2021 is not necessarily indicative of the effect on the Fund's net assets of future
movements in the level of the KMI 30 Index.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund may not be able to generate sufficient cash resources to settle its obligation in full
as they fall due or can only do so on terms that are materially disadvantageous to the Fund.
The Fund is exposed to daily settlement of equity securities and daily redemptions at the option of unit holders. The
Fund's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that the Fund will always have sufficient liquidity
to meet its liabilities when due under both normal and stressed conditions. The Fund's policy is, therefore, to invest the
majority of its assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed and are
considered readily realisable.
As per the NBFC Regulations, the Fund can borrow in the short-term to ensure settlement. The maximum limit of such
borrowing is fifteen percent of the net assets upto 90 days and would be secured by the assets of the Fund.
In order to manage the Fund's overall liquidity, the Fund may also withhold daily redemption requests in excess of ten
percent of the units in issue and such requests would be treated as redemption requests qualifying for being
processed on the next business day. Such procedure would continue until the outstanding redemption requests come
down to a level below ten percent of the units then in issue. The Fund did not withhold any redemptions during the
year.
The table below summaries the maturity profile of the Fund's financial instruments. The analysis into relevant maturity
groupings is based on the remaining period at the end of the reporting period to the contractual maturity dates.
However, the assets and liabilities that are receivable / payable on demand including bank balances have been
included in the maturity grouping of one month:
More than
More than Financial
one More than
three instruments
Within 1 month one year More than

and upto fixed

18.3.1 Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss to the Fund by failing to
discharge its obligation as it falls due. The table below analyses the Fund's maximum exposure to credit risk:

Balance as Balance as per
Maximum Maximum
per statement statement of
exposure to exposure to
of assets and assets and

liabilities liabilities
------------------------------------ '(Rupees in '000) ------------------------------------
Difference in the balance as per the statement of assets and liabilities and maximum exposure is due to the fact that
investments in equity securities of Rs 4,650.418 million (2020: Rs 3,782.362 million) is not exposed to credit risk.
The Fund's significant credit risk (excluding credit risk relating to settlement of equity securities) arises mainly on
account of its placements in banks and profit accrued thereon, dividend receivable and receivable against conversion
of units and against investments. The credit rating profile of balances with banks is as follows:
% of financial assets
Rating exposed to credit risk
2021 2020
Concentration of credit risk exists when changes in economic or industry factors similarly affect groups of
counterparties whose aggregate credit exposure is significant in relation to the Fund's total credit exposure. The Funds
portfolio of financial assets is mainly held with credit worthy counterparties thereby mitigating any credit risk.
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).
As at June 30, 2021, the Fund held the following financial instruments measured at fair values:
The unit holders' fund is represented by redeemable units. These units are entitled to dividends and to payment of a
proportionate share based on the Fund's Net Asset Value per unit on the redemption date. The relevant movements
are shown on the 'Statement of Movement in Unit Holders' Fund'.
The Fund has no restriction on the subscription and redemption of units. As required under the NBFC Regulations,
every open end scheme shall maintain fund size (i.e. net assets of the Fund) of Rs 100 million at all times during the
life of the scheme. The Fund has historically maintained and complied with the requirement of minimum fund size at all
times.
The Fund's objectives when managing unit holders' funds are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern so
that it can continue to provide returns to the unit holders and to maintain a strong base of assets to meet unexpected
losses or opportunities.
In accordance with the risk management policies as stated in note 18, the Fund endeavours to invest the subscriptions
received in appropriate investment avenues while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet redemptions, such liquidity
being augmented by disposal of investments or short-term borrowings, where necessary.

1.1 KSE Meezan Index Fund (the Fund) was established under a Trust Deed executed between Al Meezan Investment
Management Limited as Management Company and Central Depository Company of Pakistan Limited (CDC) as
Trustee. The Trust Deed was executed on March 13, 2012 and was approved by the Securities and Exchange
Commission of Pakistan (SECP) under the Non-Banking Finance Companies (Establishment and Regulation) Rules,
2003, (NBFC Rules) and the Non-Banking Finance Companies and Notified Entities Regulations, 2008, (NBFC
Regulations, 2008). The Management Company has been licensed by Securities and Exchange Commission of
Pakistan (SECP) to act as an Asset Management Company under the Non-Banking Finance Companies
(Establishment and Regulations) Rules, 2003, (the NBFC Rules) through a certificate of registration issued by 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 is a Shariah Compliant Index Fund that aims to provide investors an opportunity to track closely the
performance of the KSE-Meezan Index 30 (KMI 30) by investing in companies of the index in proportion to their
weightages. Under the Trust Deed, all the conducts and acts of the Fund are based on Shariah. The Management
Company has appointed Meezan Bank Limited (MBL) as its Shariah Advisor to ensure that the activities of the Fund

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 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 Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) 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.
3.2 Standards, interpretations and amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are
effective in the current year
There are certain amendments to the standards and interpretations that are mandatory for the Fund's accounting
period beginning on or after July 1, 2020 but are considered not to be relevant or do not have any significant effect on
the Fund's operations and are, therefore, not disclosed in these financial statements.
3.3 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 other standards, amendments and interpretations that are mandatory for the Fund's accounting
period beginning on or after July 1, 2021 but are considered not to be relevant or will not have any significant effect on
the Fund's operations and are therefore not disclosed in these financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in
Pakistan requires the management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of
policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates, judgements and
associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors including expectations of future
events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making
judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on
an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimate is revised if the
revision affects only that year, or in the year of revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future
years.
The estimates and judgements that have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Fund relate to
classification, valuation and impairment of financial assets (notes 4.3 and 6).
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for investments classified
as 'at fair value through profit or loss' which are measured at their respective fair values.
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the Fund operates. These financial statements are presented in Pakistani Rupee, which is the Fund's functional
and presentation currency.
4.1 The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These
policies have been applied consistently to all the years presented.
These comprise balances with banks in savings and current accounts, cheques in hand and other short-term highly
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Equity instruments are instruments that meet the definition of equity from the issuer's perspective and are instruments
that do not contain a contractual obligation to pay and that evidence a residual interest in the issuer's net assets.
All equity investments are required to be measured in the “Statement of Assets and Liabilities” at fair value, with gains
and losses recognised in the “Income Statement”, except where an irrevocable election has been made at the time of
initial recognition to measure the investment at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI). The
management considers its investment in equity securities being managed as a group of assets and hence has
classified them as FVPL. Accordingly, the irrevocable option has not been considered.
The dividend income for equity securities classified under FVPL is recognised in the Income Statement.
Since all investments in equity instruments have been designated as FVPL, the subsequent movement in the fair value
of equity securities is routed through the Income Statement.
4.3.2 Impairment
The fund assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit loss (ECL) associated with its financial assets (other
than debt instruments) carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The fund recognises loss allowances for such losses at
each reporting date. The measurement of ECL reflects:
- An unbiased and probability weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes;
- The time value of money; and
- Reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about
past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date on which the
Fund commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases / sales of assets require delivery of securities
within two days from the transaction date as per the stock exchange regulations.
Financial assets are recognised at the time the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
These are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs except for financial assets carried 'at fair value
through profit or loss'. Financial assets carried 'at fair value through profit or loss' are initially recognised at fair value
and transaction costs are recognised in the Income Statement.
4.3.5 Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have
been transferred and the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Any gain or loss on
derecognition of financial assets is taken to the Income Statement.
4.3.6 Derivatives
Derivative instruments are initially recognised at fair value and subsequent to initial measurement each derivative
instrument is remeasured to its fair value and the resultant gain or loss is recognised in the Income Statement.
Financial liabilities are recognised at the time when the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instruments. These are initially recognised at fair values and subsequently stated at amortised cost.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired. Any gain
or loss on derecognition of financial liabilities is taken to the Income Statement.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the 'Statement of Assets and
Liabilities' when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle
on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
4.6 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Fund has a present, legal or constructive, obligation as a result of past events, it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a
reliable estimate of the obligation can be made. Provisions are regularly reviewed and adjusted to reflect the current
best estimate.
The Net Asset Value (NAV) per unit as disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is calculated by dividing the
net assets of the Fund by the number of units in circulation at the year end.
Units issued are recorded at the offer price, determined by the Management Company for the applications received by
the Management Company / distributors during business hours on that day. The offer price represents the Net Asset
Value (NAV) per unit as of the close of the business day, plus the allowable sales load and provision of any duties and
charges if applicable. The sales load is payable to the Management Company / distributors.
Units redeemed are recorded at the redemption price applicable to units for which the Management Company /
distributors receive redemption applications during business hours of that day. The redemption price is equal to NAV
as of the close of the business day, less an amount as the Management Company may consider to be an appropriate
provision of duties and charges.
Distributions to the unit holders are recognised upon declaration and approval by the Board of Directors of the
Management Company. Based on the Mutual Funds Association of Pakistan's (MUFAP) guidelines duly consented by
the SECP, distribution for the year also includes portion of income already paid on units redeemed during the year.
Distributions declared subsequent to the year end reporting date are considered as non-adjusting events and are
recognised in the financial statements of the year in which such distributions are declared and approved by the Board
of Directors of the Management Company.
4.10 Element of income / (loss) and capital gains / (losses) included in prices of units issued less those in units
redeemed
Element of income represents the difference between Net Asset Value per unit on the issuance or redemption date, as
the case may be, of units and the net assets value per unit at the beginning of the relevant accounting period. Further,
the element of income is a transaction of capital nature and the receipt and payment of element of income is taken to
unit holders' fund. However, to maintain the same ex-dividend net asset value of all units outstanding on the
accounting date, net element of income contributed on issue of units lying in unit holders fund is refunded on units in
the same proportion as dividend bears to accounting income available for distribution.
- Gains / (losses) arising on sale of investments are included in the Income Statement, on the date when the
transaction takes place.
- Unrealised gains / (losses) arising on re-measurement of investments classified as financial assets 'at fair value
through profit or loss' are included in the Income Statement in the period in which they arise.
- Dividend income is recognised when the Fund's right to receive the same is established i.e. on the
commencement of date of book closure of the investee company / institution declaring the dividend.
- Profit on saving accounts with bank is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective yield method.
All expenses chargeable to the Fund including remuneration of the Management Company and Trustee and annual fee
of SECP are recognised in the Income Statement on an accrual basis.
4.13 Taxation
Current
Provision for current taxation is based on taxable income at the current rates of taxes after taking into account tax
credits and rebates, if any. The charge for current tax is calculated using the prevailing tax rates.
Deferred
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of all temporary differences arising
from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the
corresponding tax bases used in the computation of the taxable profit.
The deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are
recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences, unused tax losses and tax credits can be utilized. Deferred tax is calculated at the rates that are expected
to apply to the period when the differences reverse based on enacted tax rates.
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 percent of its accounting income for the year, as
reduced by capital gains, whether realised or unrealised, is distributed amongst the unitholders. Provided that, for the
purpose of determining distribution of at least 90 percent of the accounting income, the income distributed through
bonus units shall not be taken into account.
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 the Finance Act, 2015, is also not
applicable on funds (Section 4B of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001).
Earnings / (loss) per unit is calculated by dividing the net profit / loss of the year after taxation of the Fund by the
weighted average number of units outstanding during the year.
Earnings / (loss) per unit has not been disclosed as, in the opinion of the management, the determination of
cumulative weighted average number of outstanding units for calculating EPU is not practicable.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are accounted for in Pakistani Rupees at the exchange rates
prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such
transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates for monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are recognised in the Income Statement.
5.1 The balances in saving accounts have expected profit rates ranging from 1.50% to 2.50% per annum (2020: 1.5% to
3.00% per annum).

Gas Development Company Limited having market value of Rs 59.218 million and Rs. 7.602 million as at June 30,
2021 (2020: Rs 59.184 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.
6.1.3 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.
Further, the 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 year
were not withheld by the investee companies.
As at June 30, 2021, the bonus shares of the Fund withheld by certain companies at the time of declaration of bonus
shares amounted to Rs. 1.416 million (2020: Rs. 1.160 million).
8.1 As per regulation 61 of the NBFC Regulations, 2008, the Management Company is entitled to a remuneration equal to
an amount not exceeding the maximum rate of management fee as disclosed in the Offering Document subject to the
total expense ratio limit. Keeping in view the maximum allowable threshold, the Management Company has charged its
remuneration at the rate of 1% (2020: 1%) per annum of the average net assets of the Fund during the year ended
June 30, 2021. The remuneration is payable to the Management Company monthly in arrears.
8.2 During the year, an amount of Rs. 3.178 million (2020: Rs 2.224 million) was charged on account of sales tax on
management fee levied through the Sindh Sales Tax on Services Act, 2011, and an amount of Rs. 3.354 million (2020:
Rs. 2.187 million) has been paid to the Management Company which acts as a collecting agent.
8.3 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).
The management company based on its own discretion has charged allocated expenses at the rate of 0.1% from July
1, 2020 till March 9, 2021 and at 0.11% from March 10, 2021 till June 30, 2020 (2020: 0.1%) of average annual net
assets during the year.
9.1 The Trustee is entitled to monthly remuneration for services rendered to the Fund under the provisions of the trust
deed as follows:
9.2 During the year, an amount of Rs 0.448 million (2020: Rs. 0.352 million) was charged on account of sales tax on
remuneration of the Trustee levied through the Sindh Sales Tax on Services Act, 2011 and an amount of Rs. 0.437
million (2020: Rs. 0.320 million) was paid to the Trustee which acts as a collecting agent.
In accordance with the NBFC Regulations, 2008, a collective investment scheme classified as an index tracker is
required to pay annual fee to the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan at the rate of 0.02% (2020: 0.02%)
per annum of average annual net assets of the Fund.
11.1 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.
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
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 0.17 (2020: Re 0.18) per unit.
11.2 According to the instructions of the Shariah Advisor, income earned by the Fund from prohibited sources should be
donated to charitable purposes.

11.3 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 financial statements of the Fund for the period from May 21,
2015 to June 30, 2021, the net asset value of the Fund as at June 30, 2021 would have been higher by Re. 0.65 per
unit (2020: Re 0.28 per unit).
There were no contingencies and commitments outstanding as at June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020.
2021 2020
13 AUDITORS' REMUNERATION -------Rupees in '000'-------
The Total Expense Ratio (TER) of the Fund as at June 30, 2021 is 2.45% (2020: 1.95%) which includes 0.78% (2020:
0.23%) representing government levies on the Fund such as provision for Sindh Workers' Welfare Fund, sales taxes,
federal excise duties, annual fee to the SECP, etc. This ratio is within the maximum limit of 2.5% prescribed under the
NBFC Regulations for a collective investment scheme categorised as an Index Scheme.
15 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, 2008, 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 unitholders. Since the management has
distributed the required minimum percentage of income earned by the Fund for the year ended June 30, 2021 to the
unitholders in the manner as explained above, no provision for taxation has been made in these financial statements
during the year.
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 per Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
16.1 Connected persons include Al Meezan Investment Management Limited being the Management Company, the Central
Depository Company of Pakistan Limited being the Trustee, other collective investment schemes managed by the
Management Company, any entity in which the Management Company, its CISs or their connected persons have
material interest, any person or company beneficially owning directly or indirectly ten percent or more of the capital of
the Management Company or the net assets of the Fund, directors and their close family members and key
management personnel of the Management Company.
16.2 Transactions with connected persons are executed on an arm's length basis and essentially comprise sale and
redemption of units, fee on account of managing the affairs of the Fund, sales load, other charges and distribution
payments to connected persons. The transactions with connected persons are in the normal course of business, at
contracted rates and at terms determined in accordance with market rates.
16.3 Remuneration to the Management Company of the Fund is determined in accordance with the provisions of the NBFC
Regulations, 2008 and the Trust Deed.
16.4 Remuneration to the Trustee of the Fund is determined in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Deed.
16.5 The details of transactions carried out by the Fund with connected persons during the year and balances with them as
at year end are as follows:
16.6 Other balances due to / from related parties / connected persons are included in the respective notes to the financial
statements.
The Fund’s objective in managing risk is the creation and protection of unit holders’ value. Risk is inherent in the
Fund’s activities, but it is managed through monitoring and controlling activities which are primarily set up to be
performed based on limits established by the Management Company, the constitutive documents of the Fund and the
regulations and directives of the SECP. These limits reflect the business strategy and market environment of the Fund
as well as the level of the risk that the Fund is willing to accept. The Board of Directors of the Management Company
supervises the overall risk management approach within the Fund. The Fund is exposed to market risk, liquidity risk
and credit risk arising from the financial instruments it holds.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of
changes in market prices.
The Management Company manages the market risk through diversification of the investment portfolio and by
following the internal guidelines established by the Investment Committee.
Market risk comprises of three types of risks: yield / profit rate risk, currency risk, and price risk.
Yield / profit rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a
result of changes in market profit rates. As of June 30, 2021, the Fund is exposed to such risk on its balances
held with banks. The Investment Committee of the Fund reviews the portfolio of the Fund on a regular basis to
ensure that the risk is managed within the acceptable limits.
Presently, the Fund holds balances with banks which expose the Fund to cash flow profit rate risk. In case of 100
basis points increase/decrease in applicable rates on the last repricing date with all other variables held constant,
the net income / loss for the year and net assets of the Fund would have been higher/lower by Rs.0.0150 million
(2020: Rs. 0.0370 million).
The composition of the Fund's investment portfolio, KIBOR rates and the rates announced by the Financial Markets
Association of Pakistan are expected to change over time. Accordingly, the sensitivity analysis prepared as of June 30,
2021 is not necessarily indicative of the impact on the Fund's net assets of future movements in profit rates.
Yield / profit rate sensitivity position for on-balance sheet financial instruments is based on the earlier of contractual
repricing or maturity date and for off-balance sheet instruments is based on the settlement date.
The Fund's profit rate sensitivity related to financial assets and financial liabilities as at June 30, 2021 can be
determined as follows:
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of
changes in foreign exchange rates. The Fund does not have any financial instruments in foreign currencies and
hence is not exposed to such risk.
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market prices (other than those arising from profit rate risk or currency risk) whether those changes
are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar
financial instruments traded in the market.
Equity price risk is the risk that the fair value of equity instruments decreases as a result of changes in the level
of equity indices and the value of individual stocks.
In case of 1% increase / decrease in KMI 30 index on June 30, 2021, with all other variables held constant, the
total comprehensive income of the Fund for the year would increase / decrease by Rs. 26.979 million (2020: Rs.
18.573 million) and the net assets of the Fund would increase / decrease by the same amount as a result of
gains / losses on equity securities classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
The analysis is based on the assumption that equity index had increased / decreased by 1% with all other
variables held constant and all the Fund's equity instruments moved according to the historical correlation with
the index. This represents management's best estimate of a reasonable possible shift in the KMI-30 Index,
having regard to the historical volatility of the index. The composition of the Fund's investment portfolio and the
correlation thereof to the KMI-30 Index, is expected to change over time. Accordingly, the sensitivity analysis
prepared as of June 30, 2021 is not necessarily indicative of the effect on the Fund's net assets of future
movements in the level of the KMI-30 Index.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund may not be able to generate sufficient cash resources to settle its obligation in full
as they fall due or can only do so on terms that are materially disadvantageous to the Fund.
As per the NBFC Regulations, 2008, the Fund can borrow in the short-term to ensure settlement the maximum limit of
which is fifteen percent of the net assets upto 90 days and would be secured by the assets of the Fund.
In order to manage the Fund's overall liquidity, the Fund may also withhold daily redemption requests in excess of ten
percent of the units in issue and such requests would be treated as redemption requests qualifying for being
processed on the next business day. Such procedure would continue until the outstanding redemption requests come
down to a level below ten percent of the units then in issue. The Fund did not withhold any redemptions during the
year.
The table below summaries the maturity profile of the Fund's financial instruments. The analysis into relevant maturity
groupings is based on the remaining period at the end of the reporting period to the contractual maturity dates.
However, the assets and liabilities that are receivable / payable on demand including bank balances have been
included in the maturity grouping of one month:
18.3.1 Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss to the Fund by failing to
discharge its obligation as it falls due. The table below analyses the Fund's maximum exposure to credit risk:

There is a possibility of default by participants or failure of the financial market / stock exchanges, the depositories, the
settlements or clearing systems, etc. Settlement risk on equity securities is considered minimal because of inherent
controls established in the settlement process. The Fund's policy is to enter into financial contracts in accordance with
internal risk management policies and instruments guidelines approved by the Investment Committee.
The Fund's significant credit risk (excluding credit risk relating to settlement of equity securities) arises mainly on
account of its placements in banks and mark-up accrued thereon, cheques in hand, dividend receivable and receivable
against sale of units and against investments. The credit rating profile of balances with banks is as follows:
% of financial assets
Rating exposed to credit risk
2021 2020
AAA 73.00 -
AA+ 27.00 100.00
100.00 100.00
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).
The unit holders' fund is represented by redeemable units. These units are entitled to dividends and to payment of a
proportionate share based on the Fund's Net Asset Value per unit on the redemption date. The relevant movements
are shown on the 'Statement of Movement in Unit Holders' Fund'.
The Fund has no restriction on the subscription and redemption of units. As required under the NBFC Regulations,
2008 every open end scheme shall maintain fund size (i.e. net assets of the Fund) of Rs 100 million at all times during
the life of the scheme. The Fund has historically maintained and complied with the requirement of minimum fund size
at all times.
The Fund's objectives when managing unit holders' funds are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern so
that it can continue to provide returns to the unit holders and to maintain a strong base of assets to meet unexpected
losses or opportunities.
In accordance with the risk management policies as stated in note 18, the Fund endeavours to invest the subscriptions
received in appropriate investment avenues while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet redemptions, such liquidity
being augmented by disposal of investments or short-term borrowings, where necessary.

1.1 Meezan Energy Fund (the Fund) was established under a trust deed executed between Al Meezan Investment
Management Company as the Management Company and Central Depository Company of Pakistan Limited as the
Trustee. The Trust Deed was executed on September 09, 2016 and was approved by the Securities and Exchange
Commission of Pakistan (SECP) under the Non-Banking Finance Companies (Establishment and Regulation) Rules,
2003 (NBFC Rules) and the Non-Banking Finance Companies and Notified Entities Regulations, 2008 (NBFC
Regulations). The Management Company has been licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan
(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, Shariah-e-Faisal, Karachi 74400, Pakistan.
1.2 The objective of the Fund is to seek long term capital appreciation through investments in Shariah compliant equity
stocks, primarily from the energy sector / segment / industry, as defined in the constitutive documents. 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 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 Limited. The Fund is categorised

1.4 The Management Company has been assigned a quality rating of AM1 by VIS dated December 31, 2020 (2020: AM1
dated December 31, 2019) and by PACRA dated June 23, 2021 (2020: AM1 dated June 26, 2020). The rating reflects
the Company’s experienced management team, structured investment process and sound quality of systems and
processes.
1.5 The title to the assets of the Fund are held in the name of Central Depository Company of Pakistan Limited as the
Trustee of the Fund.
1.6 The Trust Act, 1882 has been repealed due to promulgation of Provincial Trust Act “Sindh Trusts Act, 2020” as
empowered under the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan. Various new requirements including
registration under the Trust Act have been introduced. The Management Company has submitted Collective
Investment Scheme Trust Deed to Registrar (acting under Sindh Trusts Act, 2020) to fulfill the requirement for
registration of Trust Deed under Sindh Trusts Act, 2020.
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 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 Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) 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, 2008 (the NBFC Regulations) and the
requirements of the Trust Deed.
3.2 Standards, interpretations and amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are
effective in the current year
There are certain amendments to the published accounting and reporting standards that are mandatory for the Fund's
annual accounting year beginning on July 1, 2020. However, these do not have any significant impact on the Fund's
operations and, therefore, have not been detailed in these financial statements.
3.3 Standards, interpretations and amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are not yet
effective
There are certain other standards, amendments and interpretations that are mandatory for the Fund's accounting
period beginning on or after July 1, 2021 but are considered not to be relevant or will not have any significant effect on
the Fund's operations and are therefore not disclosed in these financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in
Pakistan requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of
policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates, judgments and
associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors including expectations of future
events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making
judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on
an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimate is revised if the
revision affects only that year, or in the year of revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future
years.
The estimates and judgments that have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Fund relate to
classification, valuation and impairment of financial assets (notes 4.3 and 6) and provision for taxation (notes 4.14 and
16).
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for investments classified
as 'at fair value to profit or loss' are measured at their respective fair values.
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the Fund operates. These financial statements are presented in Pakistani Rupee, which is the Funds' functional
and presentation currency.
4.1 The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These
policies have been applied consistently to all the years.
These comprise balances with banks in savings and current accounts and other short-term highly liquid investments
with original maturities of three months or less.
Financial assets are recognised at the time the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
These are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs except for financial assets carried 'at fair value
through profit or loss'. Financial assets carried 'at fair value through profit or loss' are initially recognised at fair value
and transaction costs are recognised in the Income Statement.
a) Equity instruments
Equity instruments are instruments that meet the definition of equity from the issuer's perspective and are instruments
that do not contain a contractual obligation to pay and that evidence a residual interest in the issuer's net assets.
All equity investments are required to be measured in the “Statement of Assets and Liabilities” at fair value, with gains
and losses recognised in the “Income Statement”, except where an irrevocable election has been made at the time of
initial recognition to measure the investment at FVOCI. The management considers its investment in equity securities
being managed as a group of assets and hence has classified them as FVPL. Accordingly, the irrevocable option has
not been considered.
The dividend income for equity securities classified under FVPL is recognised in the Income Statement.
Since all investments in equity instruments have been designated as FVPL, the subsequent movement in the fair value
of equity securities is routed through the Income Statement.
b) Impairment
The Fund assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit loss (ECL) associated with its financial assets
(other than debt instruments) carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The Fund recognises loss allowances for such
losses at each reporting date. The measurement of ECL reflects:
- An unbiased and probability weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes;
- Reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about
past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date on which the
Fund commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases / sales of assets require delivery of securities
within two days from the transaction date as per the stock exchange regulations.
4.3.4 Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or
have been transferred and the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Any gain or loss
on derecognition of financial assets is taken to the Income Statement.
4.3.5 Derivatives
Derivative instruments are initially recognised at fair value and subsequent to initial measurement each derivative
instrument is remeasured to its fair value and the resultant gain or loss is recognised in the Income Statement.
Financial liabilities are recognised at the time when the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instruments. These are initially recognised at fair values and subsequently stated at amortised cost.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired. Any gain
or loss on derecognition of financial liabilities is taken to the Income Statement.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the 'Statement of Assets and
Liabilities' when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle
on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Provisions are recognised when the Fund has a present, legal or constructive, obligation as a result of past events, it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a
reliable estimate of the obligation can be made. Provisions are regularly reviewed and adjusted to reflect the current
best estimate.
The Net Asset Value (NAV) per unit as disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is calculated by dividing the
net assets of the Fund by the number of units in circulation at the year end.
Units issued are recorded at the offer price, determined by the Management Company for the applications received by
the Management Company / distributors during business hours on that day. The offer price represents the Net Asset
Value (NAV) per unit as of the close of the business day, plus the allowable sales load and provision of any duties and
charges if applicable. The sales load is payable to the Management Company / distributors.
Units redeemed are recorded at the redemption price, applicable to units for which the distributors receive redemption
applications during business hours of that day. The redemption price represents the net asset value per unit as of the
close of the business day less any back-end load, any duties, taxes, charges on redemption and any provision for
transaction costs, if applicable.
Distributions to the unit holders are recognised upon declaration and approval by the Board of Directors of the
Management Company. Based on the Mutual Funds Association of Pakistan's (MUFAP) guidelines duly consented by
the SECP, distribution for the year also includes portion of income already paid on units redeemed during the year.
Distributions declared subsequent to the year end reporting date are considered as non-adjusting events and are
recognised in the financial statements of the year in which such distributions are declared and approved by the Board
of Directors of the Management Company.
4.10 Element of income / (loss) and capital gains / (losses) included in prices of units issued less those in units
redeemed
Element of income represents the difference between net assets value per unit on the issuance or redemption date, as
the case may be, of units and the net assets value per unit at the beginning of the relevant accounting year. Further,
the element of income is a transaction of capital nature and the receipt and payment of element of income is taken to
unit holders' fund. However, to maintain the same ex-dividend net asset value of all units outstanding on the
accounting date, net element of income contributed on issue of units lying in unit holders fund will be refunded on units
in the same proportion as dividend bears to accounting income available for distribution.
- Gains / (losses) arising on sale of investments are included in the Income Statement currently, on the date when
the transaction takes place.
- Unrealised gains / (losses) arising on revaluation of securities classified as financial assets 'at fair value through
profit or loss' are included in the Income Statement in the year in which they arise.
- Dividend income is recognised when the Fund's right to receive the same is established, i.e. on the
commencement of book closure of the investee company / institution declaring the dividend.
- Profit on balances with banks is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective yield method.
4.12 Expenses
All expenses chargeable to the Fund including remuneration of the Management Company and Trustee and annual fee
of the SECP are recognised in the Income Statement on an accrual basis.
Preliminary expenses and floatation costs represent expenditure incurred prior to the commencement of the operations
of the Fund. These costs are being amortised over a year of 5 years in accordance with the requirements set out in the
Trust Deed of the Fund.
4.14 Taxation
Current
Provision for current taxation is based on taxable income at the current rates of taxes after taking into account tax
credits and rebates, if any. The charge for current tax is calculated using the prevailing tax rates.
Deferred
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of all temporary differences arising
from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the
corresponding tax bases used in the computation of the taxable profit.
The deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are
recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences, unused tax losses and tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax is calculated at the rates that are expected
to apply to the year when the differences reverse based on enacted tax rates.
The income of the Fund is exempt from income tax under clause 99 of Part I to the Second Schedule to the Income
Tax Ordinance, 2001 subject to the condition that not less than 90 percent of its accounting income for the year, as
reduced by capital gains, whether realised or unrealised, is distributed amongst the unit holders. Provided that, for the
purpose of determining distribution of at least 90 percent of the accounting income, the income distributed through
bonus units shall not be taken into account.
The Fund is also exempt from the provisions of section 113 (minimum tax) under clause 11A of Part IV to the Second
Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. Moreover, super tax introduced in the Finance Act, 2015 is also not
applicable on funds (Section 4B of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001).
Earnings / (loss) per unit is calculated by dividing the net profit / loss of the year after taxation of the Fund by the
weighted average number of units outstanding during the year.
Earnings / loss per unit (EPU) has not been disclosed as, in the opinion of the management, the determination of
cumulative weighted average number of outstanding units for calculating EPU is not practicable.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are accounted for in Pakistani Rupees at the exchange rates
prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such

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.
6.1.2 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 High Court of Sindh (HCS) in
favour of CISs.
The 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 year were not
withheld by the investee companies.
As at June 30, 2021, the bonus shares of the Fund withheld by Pakistan State Oil Company Limited at the time of
declaration of bonus shares amounted to Rs. 1.308 million (June 30, 2020: Rs. 0.922 million).
6.1.3 Investments include 65,000 shares of Pakistan Petroleum Limited, 26,500 shares of Pakistan Oilfields Limited, 4,000
shares of Mari Petroleum Limited and 5,000 shares of Pakistan State Oil Company Limited, having market value of Rs
5.644 million, Rs. 10.437 million, Rs. 6.098 million and Rs. 1.121 million respectively as at June 30, 2021 (June 30,
2020: 65,000 shares of Pakistan Petroleum Limited and 26,500 shares of Pakistan Oilfields Limited, having market
value of Rs 5.641 million and 9.292 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.
7.1 As per clause 47(B) of part IV of the Second Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, payments made to
collective investment schemes (CISs) are exempt from withholding tax under section 151 and 150. However, during
prior years, withholding tax on dividend and profit on debt paid to the Fund was deducted by various withholding
agents based on the interpretation issued by FBR vide letter C. no. 1(43) DG (WHT)/2008-VOL.II-66417-R dated 12
May 2015 which requires every withholding agent to withhold income tax at applicable rates in case a valid exemption
certificate under section 159(1) issued by the concerned Commissioner of Inland Revenue (CIR) is not produced
before him by the withholdee. The tax withheld on dividends and profit on debt amounts to Rs 1.431 million.
For this purpose, the Mutual Funds Association of Pakistan (MUFAP) on behalf of various mutual funds (including the
Funds being managed by the Management Company) had filed a petition in the Honourable Sindh High Court (SHC)
challenging the above mentioned interpretation of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) which was decided by the
SHC in favour of FBR. A petition was filed in the Supreme Court of Pakistan by the Funds together with other CISs
(managed by the Management Company and other Asset Management Companies) whereby the Supreme Court
granted the petitioners leave to appeal from the initial judgment of the SHC. Pending resolution of the matter, the
amount of withholding tax deducted on dividends and profit on bank deposits has been shown as other receivables as
at June 30, 2021 as, in the opinion of the management, the amount of tax deducted at source will be refunded.
8.1 Preliminary expenses and floatation costs represent expenditure incurred prior to the commencement of operations of
the Fund. These costs are amortised over a year of five years in accordance with the requirements set out in the Trust
Deed of the Fund and the Non-Banking Finance Companies and Notified Entities Regulations, 2008.
9.1 As the Regulation 61 of the NBFC Regulations, 2008, the Management Company is entitled to a remuneration equal to
an amount not exceeding the maximum rate of management fee as disclosed in the Offering Document subject to the
total expense ratio limit. Keeping in view the maximum allowable threshold, the Management Company has charged its
remuneration at the rate of 2% (2020: 2%) per annum of the average net assets of the Fund during the year ended
June 30, 2021. The remuneration is payable to the Management Company monthly in arrears.
9.2 During the year, an amount of Rs. 1.368 million (2020: Rs. 1.412 million) was charged on account of sales tax on
management fee levied through the Sindh Sales Tax on Services Act, 2011 and an amount of Rs. 1.480 million (2020:
Rs.1.439 million) has been paid to the Management Company which acts as a collecting agent.
9.3 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).
The Management Company based on its own discretion has charged 0.1% of the average annual net assets of the
Fund for allocation of such expenses to the Fund from July 1, 2020 till March 9, 2021 and 0.11% with effect from
March 10, 2021 subject to not being higher than the actual expense. These expenses have also been approved by the
Board of Directors of the Management Company (2020: 0.1%).
9.4 In accordance with Circular 11 dated July 5, 2019 with respect to charging selling and marketing expenses, the
Management Company, based on its own discretion has charged selling and marketing expenses at the rate of 0.4%
(2020: 0.4%) of the average annual net assets of the Fund. These expenses have also been approved by the Board of
Directors of the Management Company.
10.1 The Trustee is entitled to monthly remuneration for services rendered to the Fund under the provisions of the trust
deed as follows:
On net assets:
- Up to Rs 1,000 million 0.2% per annum of net assets
- Over Rs. 1,000 million Rs 2 million plus 0.1% per annum of net assets exceeding Rs 1,000 million.
In accordance with the NBFC Regulations, 2008, a collective investment scheme classified as an "Equity scheme" is
required to pay annual fee to the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan.
Accordingly, the Fund has charged SECP Fee at the rate of 0.02% of average annual net assets of the Fund during
the current year (2020: 0.02% of average annual net assets).
12.1 According to the instructions of the Shariah Advisor, income earned by the Fund from prohibited sources should be
donated to charitable purposes.
During the year ended June 30, 2021, non-Shariah compliant income amounting to Rs 1.086 million (2020: Rs 0.631
million) was charged as an expense in the books of the Fund and Rs. 0.7 million was disbursed to the following
charitable welfare organisations respectively:

12.2 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 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 financial statements of the Fund for the year from May 21, 2015
to June 30, 2021, the net asset value of the Fund as at June 30, 2021 would have been higher by Re. 0.16 per unit
(2020: Re 0.08 per unit).
There were no contingencies and commitments outstanding as at June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020.
The Total Expense Ratio (TER) of the Fund as at June 30, 2021 is 4.34% (2020: 3.83%) which includes 0.60%
representing government levies on the Fund such as provision for Sindh Workers' Welfare Fund, sales taxes, annual
fee to the SECP, Shariah advisors fee. This ratio is within the maximum limit of 4.5% prescribed under the NBFC
Regulations for a collective investment scheme categorised as an Equity Scheme.
16 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, 2008, 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. Since the Management has
distributed the required minimum percentage of income earned by the Fund for the year ended June 30, 2021 to the
unit holders in the manner as explained above, no provision for taxation has been made in these financial statements
during the year.
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 the Finance Act, 2015 is also not
applicable on funds as per Section 4B of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.

2021 2020
Balances (Rupees in '000)
The risk management policy of the Fund aims to maximise the return attributable to the unit holders and seeks to
minimise potential adverse effects on the Fund’s financial performance.
Risks of the Fund are being managed by the Fund manager in accordance with the approved policies of the
Investment Committee which provides broad guidelines for management of risk pertaining to market risks (including
price risk and interest rate risk) credit risk and liquidity risk. Further, the overall exposure of the Fund complies with the
NBFC Regulations, and the directives issued by the SECP.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of
changes in market prices.
The Management Company manages the market risk through diversification of the investment portfolio and by
following the internal guidelines established by the Investment Committee and the regulations laid down by the SECP.
Market risk comprises of three types of risks: profit rate risk, currency risk, and price risk.
Profit rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result
of changes in market profit rates. As of June 30, 2021, the Fund is exposed to such risk on its balances held with
banks. The Investment Committee of the Fund reviews the portfolio of the Fund on a regular basis to ensure that
the risk is managed within the acceptable limits.
Presently, the Fund holds balances with banks which expose the Fund to cash flow profit rate risk. In case of 100
basis points increase / decrease in applicable rates on the last repricing date with all other variables held
constant, the net income / loss for the year and net assets of the Fund would have been higher / lower by Rs.
0.177 million (2020: Rs. 0.025 million).
As at June 30, 2021, the Fund does not hold any fixed rate instrument that may expose the Fund to fair value
profit rate risk.
The composition of the Fund's investment portfolio are expected to change over time. Accordingly, the sensitivity
analysis prepared as of June 30, 2021 is not necessarily indicative of the impact on the Fund's net assets of future
movements in profit rates.
Profit rate sensitivity position for on-balance sheet financial instruments is based on the earlier of contractual repricing
or maturity date and for off-balance sheet instruments is based on the settlement date.
The Fund's profit rate sensitivity related to financial assets and financial liabilities as at June 30, 2021 can be
determined as follows:
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of
changes in foreign exchange rates. The Fund does not have any financial instruments in foreign currencies and
hence is not exposed to such risk.
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market prices (other than those arising from profit rate risk or currency risk) whether those changes
are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar
financial instruments traded in the market.
The Fund is exposed to equity price risk on investments held by the Fund and classified as 'at fair value through
profit or loss'. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Fund diversifies its
portfolio within the eligible stocks prescribed in the Trust Deed. The NBFC Regulations also limit individual equity
securities to no more than 15% of net assets and issued capital of the investee company and sector exposure
limit to 40% of the net assets.
In case of 1% increase / decrease in KMI 30 index on June 30, 2021, with all other variables held constant, the
total comprehensive income of the Fund for the year would increase / decrease by Rs. 5.784 million (2020:
Rs.5.181 million) and the net assets of the Fund would increase / decrease by the same amount as a result of
gains / losses on equity securities classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund may not be able to generate sufficient cash resources to settle its obligation in full
as they fall due or can only do so on terms that are materially disadvantageous to the Fund.
The Fund is exposed to daily settlement of equity securities and daily redemptions at the option of unit holders. The
Fund's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that the Fund will always have sufficient liquidity
to meet its liabilities when due under both normal and stressed conditions. The Fund's policy is, therefore, to invest the
majority of its assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed and are
considered readily realisable.
As per the NBFC Regulations, the Fund can borrow in the short-term to ensure settlement. The maximum limit of
which is fifteen percent of the net assets upto 90 days and would be secured by the assets of the Fund.
In order to manage the Fund's overall liquidity, the Fund may also withhold daily redemption requests in excess of ten
percent of the units in issue and such requests would be treated as redemption requests qualifying for being
processed on the next business day. Such procedure would continue until the outstanding redemption requests come
down to a level below ten percent of the units then in issue. The Fund did not withhold any redemptions during the
year.
The table below summaries the maturity profile of the Fund's financial instruments. The analysis into relevant maturity
groupings is based on the remaining year at the end of the reporting year to the contractual maturity dates. However,
the assets and liabilities that are receivable / payable on demand including bank balances have been included in the
maturity grouping of one month:
19.3.1 Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss to the Fund by failing to
discharge its obligation as it falls due. The table below analyses the Fund's maximum exposure to credit risk:

Balance as Balance as per
Maximum Maximum
per statement statement of
exposure to exposure to
of assets and assets and
credit risk credit risk
liabilities liabilities
--------------------------------------------------------------- (Rupees in '000) ----------------------------------------------------------
The difference in the balance as per the statement of assets and liabilities and maximum exposure is due to the fact
that investment in equity securities of Rs 578.360 million (2020: Rs 518.105 million) is not exposed to credit risk.
The Fund's significant credit risk (excluding credit risk relating to settlement of equity securities) arises mainly on
account of its placements in banks and profit accrued on bank balances, dividend receivable and receivable against
sale of units and against investments. The credit rating profile of balances with banks is as follows:
Concentration of credit risk exists when changes in economic or industry factors similarly affect groups of
counterparties whose aggregate credit exposure is significant in relation to the Fund's total credit exposure. The Funds
portfolio of financial assets is mainly held with credit worthy counterparties thereby mitigating any credit risk.
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).
As at June 30, 2021, the Fund held the following financial instruments measured at fair values:
The unit holders' fund is represented by redeemable units. These units are entitled to dividends and to payment of a
proportionate share based on the Fund's Net Asset Value per unit on the redemption date. The relevant movements
are shown on the 'Statement of Movement in Unit Holders' Fund'.
The Fund has no restriction on the subscription and redemption of units. As required under the NBFC Regulations,
every open end scheme shall maintain fund size (i.e. net assets of the Fund) of Rs 100 million at all times during the
life of the scheme. The Fund has historically maintained and complied with the requirement of minimum fund size at all
times.
In accordance with the risk management policies as stated in note 19, the Fund endeavours to invest the subscriptions
received in appropriate investment avenues while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet redemptions, such liquidity
being augmented by disposal of investments or short-term borrowings, where necessary.

1.1 Meezan Pakistan Exchange Traded 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 January 9, 2020 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 is a Shariah Compliant Exchange Traded Fund that aims to provide investors an opportunity to track the
performance of Meezan Pakistan Index (MZNPI) that has been constituted and is maintained by the Management
Company, and comprises of shariah compliant equity securities selected with high consideration towards market
capitalisation and traded value. 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 a hybrid type of Fund having features of both open and closed end funds. A new concept of "Authorised
Participants "APs" has been introduced who will act as market makers. The Management Company will only have
contact with the APs for issuance and redemption of units. The units of the Fund are tradeable in the Pakistan Stock
Exchange Limited (PSX). The APs to whom the units are issued may either keep the units with themselves or trade in
the PSX. Consequently, upon trading, the holder of the units keeps on changing. Moreover, on issuance and
redemption of units, the basket of shares will be exchanged between AP and Management Company and cash will be
paid / received if there is a difference in the applicable net asset value of a creation unit and the market value of the
portfolio deposit.
1.4 The Fund is an Open Ended Exchange Traded Mutual Fund categorised as "Listed Index Tracking Fund" and is listed
on Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) Limited.
1.5 The title to the assets of the Fund are held in the name of Central Depository Company of Pakistan Limited (CDC) as
the Trustee of the Fund.
1.6 As per the Offering Document approved by the SECP, the accounting period, in case of the first such period, shall
commence from the date on which the trust property is first paid or transferred to the Trustee. Accordingly, these
financial statements have been prepared from October 6, 2020. Hence, there are no corresponding figures for the
period.
1.7 The Management Company has been assigned a quality rating of AM1 by VIS dated December 31, 2020 (2020: AM1
dated December 31, 2019) and by PACRA dated June 23, 2021 (2020: AM1 dated June 26, 2020). The rating reflects
the Company’s experienced management team, structured investment process and sound quality of systems and
processes.
1.8 The Trust Act, 1882 has been repealed due to promulgation of Provincial Trust Act “Sindh Trusts Act, 2020” (the Act)
as empowered under the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan. Various new requirements including
registration under the Act have been introduced. The Management Company after fulfilling the requirement for
registration of Trust Deed under the Act, has submitted Collective Investment Scheme Trust Deed to Registrar acting
under the Act for registration.
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.
These 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 Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) 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, 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 and the requirements of the Trust Deed differ from the IFRSs, 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.
3.2 Standards, interpretations and amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are not yet
effective
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, 2021. However, these do not have any significant
impact on the Fund's operations and, therefore, have not been detailed in these financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in
Pakistan requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of
policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates, judgments and
associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors including expectations of future
events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making
judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on
an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the
revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and
future periods.
The estimates and judgments that have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Fund relate to
classification, valuation and impairment of financial assets (notes 4.3 and 6) and provision for taxation (note 4.13 and
15).
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except that investments have
been carried at fair values.
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the Fund operates. These financial statements are presented in Pakistani Rupee, which is the Funds' functional
and presentation currency.
4.1 The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.
These comprise balances with banks in savings and current accounts and other short-term highly liquid investments
with original maturities of three months or less.
Financial assets are recognised at the time the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
These are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs except for financial assets carried 'at fair value
through profit or loss'. Financial assets carried 'at fair value through profit or loss' are initially recognised at fair value
and transaction costs are recognised in the Income Statement.
a) Equity instruments
Equity instruments are instruments that meet the definition of equity from the issuer's perspective and are instruments
that do not contain a contractual obligation to pay and that evidence a residual interest in the issuer's net assets.
All equity investments are required to be measured in the “Statement of Assets and Liabilities” at fair value, with gains
and losses recognised in the “Income Statement”, except where an irrevocable election has been made at the time of
initial recognition to measure the investment at FVOCI. The management considers its investment in equity securities
being managed as a group of assets and hence has classified them as FVPL. Accordingly, the irrevocable option has
not been considered.
The dividend income for equity securities classified under FVPL is recognised in the Income Statement.
Since all investments in equity instruments have been designated as FVPL, the subsequent movement in the fair value
of equity securities is routed through the Income Statement.
b) Impairment
The Fund assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit loss (ECL) associated with it's financial assets
(other than debt instruments) carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The Fund recognises loss allowances for such
losses at each reporting date. The measurement of ECL reflects:
- An unbiased and probability weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes;
- Reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about
past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date on which the
Fund commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases / sales of assets require delivery of securities
within two days from the transaction date as per the stock exchange regulations.
4.3.4 Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have
been transferred and the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Any gain or loss on
derecognition of financial assets is taken to the Income Statement.
4.3.5 Derivatives
Derivative instruments are initially recognised at fair value and subsequent to initial measurement each derivative
instrument is remeasured to its fair value and the resultant gain or loss is recognised in the Income Statement.
Financial liabilities are recognised at the time when the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instruments. These are initially recognised at fair values and subsequently stated at amortised cost.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired. Any gain
or loss on derecognition of financial liabilities is taken to the Income Statement.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the 'Statement of Assets and
Liabilities' when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle
on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
4.6 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Fund has a present, legal or constructive, obligation as a result of past events, it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a
reliable estimate of the obligation can be made. Provisions are regularly reviewed and adjusted to reflect the current
best estimate.
The Net Asset Value (NAV) per unit as disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is calculated by dividing the
net assets of the Fund by the number of units in circulation at the period end.
Authorised Participant can purchase the units at the offer price and redeem at the redemption price at any of the
authorised distribution offices during business hours.
- The Net Asset Value (NAV) as of the close of the previous business day (historical pricing);
- Such amount as the Management Company may consider an appropriate provision for duties and charges
Units of the Fund may be acquired or redeemed directly from the Fund only in Creation Units lot size or multiples
thereof as mentioned in the Offering Document. Investors can sell the units at market prices on PSX which may be
above or below actual NAV of the Fund.
Distributions to the unit holders are recognised upon declaration and approval by the Board of Directors of the
Management Company.
Distributions declared subsequent to the year end reporting date are considered as non-adjusting events and are
recognised in the financial statements of the period in which such distributions are declared and approved by the
Board of Directors of the Management Company.
4.10 Element of income / (loss) and capital gains / (losses) included in prices of units issued less those in units
redeemed
Element of income represents the difference between net asset value (NAV) per unit on the issuance or redemption
date, as the case may be, of units and the NAV per unit at the beginning of the relevant accounting period.
As clarified by the SECP vide its letter no. SCD/AMCW/ETF/240/2020 dated March 2, 2020 that element of income in
case of Exchange Traded Funds shall be taken to Income Statement both at the time of issuance and redemption of
units to the extent it pertains to Income Statement.
- Gains / (losses) arising on sale of investments are included in the Income Statement, on the date when the
transaction takes place.
- Unrealised gains / (losses) arising on revaluation of securities classified as financial assets 'at fair value through
profit or loss' are included in the Income Statement in the period in which they arise.
- Dividend income is recognised when the Fund's right to receive the same is established i.e. on the
commencement of date of book closure of the investee company / institution declaring the dividend.
- Profit on balances with banks is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective yield method.
All expenses chargeable to the Fund including remuneration of the Management Company and Trustee and annual fee
of the SECP are recognised in the Income Statement on an accrual basis.
4.13 Taxation
Current
Provision for current taxation is based on taxable income at the current rates of taxes after taking into account tax
credits and rebates, if any. The charge for current tax is calculated using the prevailing tax rates.
Deferred
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of all temporary differences arising
from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the
corresponding tax bases used in the computation of the taxable profit.
The deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are
recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences, unused tax losses and tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax is calculated at the rates that are expected
to apply to the period when the differences reverse based on enacted tax rates.
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 percent of its accounting income for the year, as
reduced by capital gains, whether realised or unrealised, is distributed amongst the unit holders. Provided that, for the
purpose of determining distribution of at least 90 percent of the accounting income, the income distributed through
bonus units shall not be taken into account.
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 the Finance Act, 2015, is also not
applicable on funds (Section 4B of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001).
Earnings / (loss) per unit is calculated by dividing the net profit / loss of the period after taxation of the Fund by the
weighted average number of units outstanding during the period.
Earnings / loss per unit (EPU) has not been disclosed as, in the opinion of the management, the determination of
cumulative weighted average number of outstanding units for calculating EPU is not practicable.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are accounted for in Pakistani Rupees at the exchange rates
prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such
transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates for monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are recognised in the Income Statement.

11 ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER LIABILITIES
11.1 According to the instructions of the Shariah Advisor, income earned by the Fund from prohibited sources should be

income amounting to Rs 0.04 million was charged as an expense in the books of the Fund. This will be distributed as
charity after the approval of the Shariah Advisor.
Had the provision for SWWF not been recorded in the financial statements of the Fund for the period from October 6,
2020 to June 30, 2021, the net asset value of the Fund as at June 30, 2021 would have been higher by Re. 0.03 per
unit.
The total expense ratio (TER) of the Fund based on the current period results is 1.42% which includes 0.43%
representing government levies on the Fund such as provision for Sindh Workers' Welfare Fund (if any), sales taxes,

The risk management policy of the Fund aims to maximise the return attributable to the unit holders and seeks to
minimise potential adverse effects on the Fund’s financial performance.
Risks of the Fund are being managed by the Fund manager in accordance with the approved policies of the
Investment Committee which provides broad guidelines for management of risk pertaining to market risks (including
price risk and profit rate risk) credit risk and liquidity risk. Further, the overall exposure of the Fund complies with the
NBFC Regulations, and the directives issued by the SECP.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of
changes in market prices.
The Management Company manages the market risk through diversification of the investment portfolio and by
following the internal guidelines established by the Investment Committee and the regulations laid down by the SECP.
Market risk comprises of three types of risks: profit rate risk, currency risk, and price risk.
Profit rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result
of changes in market profit rates. As of June 30, 2021, the Fund is exposed to such risk on its balances held with
banks. The Investment Committee of the Fund reviews the portfolio of the Fund on a regular basis to ensure that
the risk is managed within the acceptable limits.
Presently, the Fund holds balances with banks which expose the Fund to cash flow profit rate risk. In case of 100
basis points increase / decrease in applicable rates on the last repricing date with all other variables held
constant, the net income / loss for the period from October 6, 2020 to June 30, 2021 and net assets of the Fund
would have been higher / lower by Rs. 0.012 million.
As at June 30, 2021 the Fund does not hold any fixed rate instrument that may expose the Fund to fair value
profit rate risk.
The composition of the Fund's investment portfolio and profit rates are expected to change over time. Accordingly, the
sensitivity analysis prepared as of June 30, 2021 is not necessarily indicative of the impact on the Fund's net assets of
future movements in profit rates.
Profit rate sensitivity position for on-balance sheet financial instruments is based on the earlier of contractual repricing
or maturity date and for off-balance sheet instruments is based on the settlement date.
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of
changes in foreign exchange rates. The Fund does not have any financial instruments in foreign currencies and
hence is not exposed to such risk.
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market prices (other than those arising from profit rate risk or currency risk) whether those changes
are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar
financial instruments traded in the market.
The Fund has exposure to equity price risk arising from its investments in equity securities. The Fund manages
its price risk arising from investment in the equity securities by diversifying its portfolio within the eligible limits
prescribed in the Fund’s constitutive documents, the NBFC Regulations and circulars issued by the SECP from
time to time. The Fund’s equity investments and their fair values exposed to price risk as at the period end are
concentrated in the sectors given in note 6.1.
In case of 1% increase / decrease in MZNPI on June 30, 2021, with all other variables held constant, the total
comprehensive income of the Fund for the period from October 6, 2020 to June 30, 2021 would increase /
decrease by Rs. 0.388 million and the net assets of the Fund would increase / decrease by the same amount as
a result of gains / losses on equity securities classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund may not be able to generate sufficient cash resources to settle its obligation in full
as they fall due or can only do so on terms that are materially disadvantageous to the Fund.
The Fund is exposed to daily settlement of equity securities and daily redemptions at the option of unit holders. The
Fund's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that the Fund will always have sufficient liquidity
to meet its liabilities when due under both normal and stressed conditions. The Fund's policy is, therefore, to invest the
majority of its assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed and are
considered readily realisable.
As per the NBFC Regulations, the Fund can borrow in the short-term to ensure settlement. The maximum limit of
which is fifteen percent of the net assets upto 90 days and would be secured by the assets of the Fund.
In order to manage the Fund's overall liquidity, the Fund may also withhold daily redemption requests in excess of ten
percent of the units in issue and such requests would be treated as redemption requests qualifying for being
processed on the next business day. Such procedure would continue until the outstanding redemption requests come
down to a level below ten percent of the units then in issue. The Fund did not withhold any redemptions during the
period from October 6, 2020 to June 30, 2021.
The table below summaries the maturity profile of the Fund's financial instruments. The analysis into relevant maturity
groupings is based on the remaining period at the end of the reporting period to the contractual maturity dates.
However, the assets and liabilities that are receivable / payable on demand including bank balances have been
included in the maturity grouping of one month:
18.3.1 Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss to the Fund by failing to
discharge its obligation as it falls due. The table below analyses the Fund's maximum exposure to credit risk:
Difference in the balance as per the statement of assets and liabilities and maximum exposure is due to the fact that
investment in equity securities of Rs. 38.827 million is not exposed to credit risk.
The Fund's significant credit risk (excluding credit risk relating to settlement of equity securities) arises mainly on
account of its placements with banks and profit accrued on bank balances and dividend receivable. The credit rating
profile of balances with banks is as follows:
% of financial
assets
exposed to
Rating credit risk
2021
AAA 100.00%
Concentration of credit risk exists when changes in economic or industry factors similarly affect groups of
counterparties whose aggregate credit exposure is significant in relation to the Fund's total credit exposure. The Funds
portfolio of financial assets is mainly held with credit worthy counterparties thereby mitigating any credit risk.
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).
The unit holders' fund is represented by redeemable units. These units are entitled to dividends and to payment of a
proportionate share based on the Fund's Net Asset Value per unit on the redemption date. The relevant movements
are shown on the 'Statement of Movement in Unit Holders' Fund'.
The Fund has no restriction on the subscription and redemption of units. As required under the NBFC Regulations,
every open end scheme shall maintain fund size (i.e. net assets of the Fund) of Rs. 100 million at all times during the
life of the scheme. The Fund has historically maintained and complied with the requirement of minimum fund size at all
times.
The Fund's objectives when managing unit holders' funds are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern so
that it can continue to provide returns to the unit holders and to maintain a strong base of assets to meet unexpected
losses or opportunities.
In accordance with the risk management policies as stated in note 18, the Fund endeavours to invest the subscriptions
received in appropriate investment avenues while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet redemptions, such liquidity
being augmented by disposal of investments or short-term borrowings, where necessary.
22 The Fund has traded with only one broker 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

1.4 The title to the assets of the Fund are held in the name of Central Depository Company of Pakistan Limited (CDC) as
the Trustee of the Fund.

dated December 31, 2019) and by PACRA dated June 23, 2021 (2020: AM1 dated June 26, 2020). The rating reflects
the Company’s experienced management team, structured investment process and sound quality of systems and
processes.
1.6 The Trust Act, 1882 has been repealed due to promulgation of Provincial Trust Act “Sindh Trusts Act, 2020” (the Act)
as empowered under the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan. Various new requirements including

registration of Trust Deed under the Act, has submitted Collective Investment Scheme Trust Deed to Registrar acting
under the Act for registration.
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 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 Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) 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, 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 and the requirements of the Trust Deed differ from the IFRSs, 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.
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, 2020. However, these do not have any significant impact on
the Fund's operations and, therefore, have not been detailed in these financial statements.
3.3 Standards, interpretations and amendments to published accounting and reporting standards that are not yet
effective
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, 2021. However, these do not have any significant
impact on the Fund's operations and, therefore, have not been detailed in these financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in
Pakistan requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of
policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates, judgments and
associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors including expectations of future
events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making
judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on
an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if
the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current
and future periods.
The estimates and judgments that have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Fund relate to
classification, valuation and impairment of financial assets (notes 4.3 and 6) and provision for taxation (note 4.13 and
15).
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except that investments have
been carried at fair values.
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the Fund operates. These financial statements are presented in Pakistani Rupee, which is the Funds'
functional and presentation currency.
4.1 The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These
policies have been applied consistently to all the years.
These comprise balances with banks in savings and current accounts and other short-term highly liquid investments
with original maturities of three months or less.
Financial assets are recognised at the time the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instruments. These are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs except for financial assets carried 'at
fair value through profit or loss'. Financial assets carried 'at fair value through profit or loss' are initially recognised at
fair value and transaction costs are recognised in the Income Statement.
a) Equity instruments
Equity instruments are instruments that meet the definition of equity from the issuer's perspective and are instruments
that do not contain a contractual obligation to pay and that evidence a residual interest in the issuer's net assets.
The dividend income for equity securities classified under FVPL is recognised in the Income Statement.
Since all investments in equity instruments have been designated as FVPL, the subsequent movement in the fair
value of equity securities is routed through the Income Statement.
b) Impairment
The fund assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit loss (ECL) associated with it's financial assets
(other than debt instruments) carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The Fund recognises loss allowances for such
losses at each reporting date. The measurement of ECL reflects:
- An unbiased and probability weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes;
- Reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date
about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date on which the
Fund commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases / sales of assets require delivery of securities
within two days from the transaction date as per the stock exchange regulations.
4.3.4 Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or
have been transferred and the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Any gain or loss
on derecognition of financial assets is taken to the Income Statement.
4.3.5 Derivatives
Derivative instruments are initially recognised at fair value and subsequent to initial measurement each derivative
instrument is remeasured to its fair value and the resultant gain or loss is recognised in the Income Statement.
Financial liabilities are recognised at the time when the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instruments. These are initially recognised at fair values and subsequently stated at amortised cost.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired. Any
gain or loss on derecognition of financial liabilities is taken to the Income Statement.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the 'Statement of Assets and
Liabilities' when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to
settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Provisions are recognised when the Fund has a present, legal or constructive, obligation as a result of past events, it
is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a
reliable estimate of the obligation can be made. Provisions are regularly reviewed and adjusted to reflect the current
best estimate.
The Net Asset Value (NAV) per unit as disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is calculated by dividing
the net assets of the Fund by the number of units in circulation at the year end.
Units issued are recorded at the offer price, determined by the Management Company for the applications received
by the Management Company / distributors during business hours on that day. The offer price represents the Net
Asset Value (NAV) per unit as of the close of the business day, plus the allowable sales load and provision of any
duties and charges if applicable. The sales load is payable to the Management Company / distributors.
Units redeemed are recorded at the redemption price applicable to units for which the Management Company /
distributors receive redemption applications during business hours of that day. The redemption price is equal to NAV
as of the close of the business day, less an amount as the Management Company may consider to be an appropriate
provision of duties and charges.
Distributions to the unit holders are recognised upon declaration and approval by the Board of Directors of the
Management Company. Based on Mutual Funds Association of Pakistan's (MUFAP) guidelines duly consented by
the SECP, distribution for the year also includes portion of income already paid on units redeemed during the year.
Distributions declared subsequent to the year end reporting date are considered as non-adjusting events and are
recognised in the financial statements of the period in which such distributions are declared and approved by the
Board of Directors of the Management Company.
4.10 Element of income / (loss) and capital gains / (losses) included in prices of units issued less those in units
redeemed
Element of income represents the difference between Net Asset Value (NAV) per unit on the issuance or redemption
date, as the case may be, of units and the NAV per unit at the beginning of the relevant accounting period. Further,
the element of income is a transaction of capital nature and the receipt and payment of element of income is taken to
unit holders' fund. However, to maintain the same ex-dividend NAV of all units outstanding on the accounting date,
net element of income contributed on issue of units lying in unit holders fund is refunded on units in the same
proportion as dividend bears to accounting income available for distribution.
- Gains / (losses) arising on sale of investments are included in the Income Statement currently, on the date when
the transaction takes place.
- Unrealised gains / (losses) arising on revaluation of securities classified as financial assets 'at fair value through
profit or loss' are included in the Income Statement in the period in which they arise.
- Dividend income is recognised when the Fund's right to receive the same is established i.e. on the
commencement of date of book closure of the investee company / institution declaring the dividend.
- Profit on balances with banks is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective yield method.
4.12 Expenses
All expenses chargeable to the Fund including remuneration of the Management Company and Trustee and annual
fee of the SECP are recognised in the Income Statement on an accrual basis.
Current
Provision for current taxation is based on taxable income at the current rates of taxes after taking into account tax
credits and rebates, if any. The charge for current tax is calculated using the prevailing tax rates.
Deferred
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of all temporary differences arising
from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the
corresponding tax bases used in the computation of the taxable profit.
The deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are
recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences, unused tax losses and tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax is calculated at the rates that are expected
to apply to the period when the differences reverse based on enacted tax rates.
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 percent of its accounting income for the year, as
reduced by capital gains, whether realised or unrealised, is distributed amongst the unit holders. Provided that, for the
purpose of determining distribution of at least 90 percent of the accounting income, the income distributed through
bonus units shall not be taken into account.
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 the Finance Act, 2015, is also not
applicable on funds (Section 4B of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001).
Earnings / (loss) per unit is calculated by dividing the net profit / loss of the year after taxation of the Fund by the
weighted average number of units outstanding during the year.
Earnings / loss per unit (EPU) has not been disclosed as, in the opinion of the management, the determination of
cumulative weighted average number of outstanding units for calculating EPU is not practicable.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are accounted for in Pakistani Rupees at the exchange rates
prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such
transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates for monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are recognised in the Income Statement.
5.1 These includes a balance of Rs. 1.658 million (2020: Rs. 10.123 million) maintained with Meezan Bank Limited (a
related party) that has an expected profit rate of 2.5% (2020: 3.00%) per annum. Other profit and loss sharing
accounts of the Fund have expected profit rates ranging from 2.24% to 7.20% per annum (2020: 1.50% to 7.50% per
annum).

6.1.1 All shares have a nominal value of Rs 10 each except for the shares of Agriauto Industries Limited, Dynea Pakistan
Limited and Shabbir Tiles and Ceramics Limited which have a nominal value of Rs 5 each and K-Electric Limited
which have a nominal value of Rs 3.5 each.
6.1.2 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 judgment 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 year ended June 30, 2020, the CISs had filed a fresh
constitutional petition via CP 4653 dated July 11, 2019. In this regard, on July 15, 2019, the Honourable High of
Sindh had issued notices to the relevant parties and had 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.
Further, the 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 year
were not withheld by the investee companies.
7.1 As per clause 47(B) of part IV of the Second Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, payments made to
collective investment schemes (CISs) are exempt from withholding tax under section 151 and 150. However,
withholding tax on dividend paid to the Fund has been deducted by various withholding agents based on the
interpretation issued by FBR vide letter C. no. 1(43) DG (WHT)/2008-VOL.II-66417-R dated 12 May 2015 which
requires every withholding agent to withhold income tax at applicable rates in case a valid exemption certificate under
section 159(1) issued by the concerned Commissioner of Inland Revenue (CIR) is not produced before him by the
withholdee. The tax withheld on dividends as at June 30, 2021 amounts to Rs 1.296 million (June 30, 2020: Rs. 1.296
million).
For this purpose, the Mutual Funds Association of Pakistan (MUFAP) on behalf of various mutual funds (including the
Funds being managed by the Management Company) had filed a petition in the Honourable Sindh High Court (SHC)
challenging the above mentioned interpretation of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) which was decided by the
SHC in favour of FBR. On January 28, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Management Company passed a
resolution by circulation, authorising all CISs to file an appeal in the Honourable Supreme Court through their
Trustees, to direct all persons being withholding agents, including share registrars and banks to observe the
provisions of clause 47B of Part IV of the Second Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 without imposing any
conditions at the time of making any payment to the CISs being managed by the Management Company.
Accordingly, a petition was filed in the Supreme Court of Pakistan by the Funds together with other CISs (managed
by the Management Company and other Asset Management Companies) whereby the Supreme Court granted the
petitioners leave to appeal from the initial judgment of the SHC. Pending resolution of the matter, the amount of
withholding tax deducted on profit received by the Fund on dividends has been shown as other receivables as at
June 30, 2021 as, in the opinion of the Management, the amount of tax deducted at source will be refunded.
8.1 As per regulation 61 of the NBFC Regulations, 2008, the Management Company is entitled to a remuneration equal
to an amount not exceeding the maximum rate of management fee as disclosed in the Offering Document subject to
the total expense ratio limit. Keeping in view the maximum allowable threshold, the Management Company has
charged its remuneration at the rate of 2% (2020: 2%) per annum of the average net assets of the Fund during the
year June 30, 2021. The remuneration is payable to the Management Company monthly in arrears.
8.3 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).
The Management Company based on its own discretion has charged 0.1% of the average annual net assets of the
Fund for allocation of such expenses to the Fund from July 1, 2020 till March 9, 2021 and 0.11% with effect from
March 10, 2021 subject to not being higher than the actual expense. These expenses have also been approved by
the Board of Directors of the Management Company. (2020: 0.1%).
8.4 In accordance with Circular 11 dated July 5, 2019 with respect to charging selling and marketing expenses, the
Management Company, based on its own discretion has determined a capping of 0.4% (2020: 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 of Directors of the Management Company.
9.1 The Trustee is entitled to monthly remuneration for services rendered to the Fund under the provisions of the trust
deed as follows:
On net assets:
- up to Rs. 1 billion Rs 0.7 million or 0.2% per annum of net assets, whichever is higher.
- over Rs. 1 billion Rs 2 million plus 0.1% per annum of net assets exceeding Rs 1 billion
9.2 During the year, an amount of Rs. 0.234 million (2020: Rs. 0.236 million) was charged on account of sales tax on
remuneration of the Trustee levied through the Sindh Sales Tax on Services Act, 2011 and an amount of Rs. 0.225
million (2020: Rs. 0.253 million) was paid to the Trustee which acts as a collecting agent.
In accordance with the NBFC Regulations, 2008, a collective investment scheme is required to pay annual fee to the
Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan.
Accordingly, the Fund has charged the SECP Fee at the rate of 0.02% (2020: 0.02%) of average annual net assets of
the Fund during the current year.
11.1 According to the instructions of the Shariah Advisor, income earned by the Fund from prohibited sources should be
donated to charitable purposes. Accordingly, an amount of Rs. 1.189 million (June 30, 2020: Rs. 1.467 million) is
outstanding in this regard.
Had the provision for SWWF not been recorded in the financial statements of the Fund for the period from May 21,
2015 to June 30, 2021, the net asset value of the Fund as at June 30, 2021 would have been higher by Re. 0.23 per
unit (2020: nil).
There were no contingencies and commitments outstanding as at June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020.
2021 2020
13 AUDITORS' REMUNERATION (Rupees in '000)
The Total Expense Ratio (TER) of the Fund as at June 30, 2021 is 2.45% (2020: 3.70%) which includes 0.78%
representing government levies on the Fund such as provision for Sindh Workers' Welfare Fund (if any), sales taxes,
federal excise duties, annual fee to the SECP, etc. This ratio is within the maximum limit of 4.5% prescribed under the
NBFC Regulations for a collective investment scheme categorised as an Equity Scheme.
15 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. Since the management has
distributed the required minimum percentage of income earned by the Fund for the year ended June 30, 2021 to the
unit holders in the manner as explained above, no provision for taxation has been made in these financial statements
during the year.
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. Furthermore, Super tax introduced in Finance Act, 2015 is also not
applicable on funds as Section 4B of Income Tax Ordinance , 2001.

Remuneration to the Trustee of the Fund is determined in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Deed.
The details of transactions carried out by the Fund with connected persons / related parties during the year and
balances with them as at year end are as follows:
Other balances due to / from related parties / connected persons are included in the respective notes to the financial
statements.
The risk management policy of the Fund aims to maximise the return attributable to the unit holders and seeks to
minimise potential adverse effects on the Fund’s financial performance.
Risks of the Fund are being managed by the Fund manager in accordance with the approved policies of the
Investment Committee which provides broad guidelines for management of risk pertaining to market risks (including
price risk and profit rate risk) credit risk and liquidity risk. Further, the overall exposure of the Fund complies with the
NBFC Regulations, and the directives issued by the SECP.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of
changes in market prices.
The Management Company manages the market risk through diversification of the investment portfolio and by
following the internal guidelines established by the Investment Committee.
Market risk comprises of three types of risks: profit rate risk, currency risk, and price risk.
Profit rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result
of changes in market profit rates. As of June 30, 2021, the Fund is exposed to such risk on its balances held
with banks. The Investment Committee of the Fund reviews the portfolio of the Fund on a regular basis to
ensure that the risk is managed within the acceptable limits.
Presently, the Fund holds balances with banks which expose the Fund to cash flow profit rate risk. In case of
100 basis points increase / decrease in applicable rates on the last repricing date with all other variables held
constant, the net income / loss for the year and net assets of the Fund would have been higher / lower by Rs.
0.09 million (2020: Rs. 0.18 million)
As at June 30, 2021 the Fund does not hold any fixed rate instrument that may expose the Fund to fair value
profit rate risk.
The composition of the Fund's investment portfolio and KIBOR rates are expected to change over time. Accordingly,
the sensitivity analysis prepared as of June 30, 2021 is not necessarily indicative of the impact on the Fund's net
assets of future movements in profit rates.
Profit rate sensitivity position for on-balance sheet financial instruments is based on the earlier of contractual
repricing or maturity date and for off-balance sheet instruments is based on the settlement date.
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result
of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Fund does not have any financial instruments in foreign currencies
and hence is not exposed to such risk.
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market prices (other than those arising from profit rate risk or currency risk) whether those changes
are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar
financial instruments traded in the market.
The Fund is exposed to equity price risk on investments held by the Fund and classified as 'at fair value through
profit or loss'. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Fund diversifies its
portfolio within the eligible stocks prescribed in the Trust Deed. The NBFC Regulations also limit individual
equity securities to no more than 15% of net assets and issued capital of the investee company and sector
exposure limit to 40% of the net assets.
In case of 1% increase / decrease in KMI 30 index on June 30, 2021, with all other variables held constant, the
total comprehensive income of the Fund for the year would increase / decrease by Rs. 9.90 million (2020: Rs.
5.96 million) and the net assets of the Fund would increase / decrease by the same amount as a result of gains
/ losses on equity securities classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
The analysis is based on the assumption that equity index had increased / decreased by 5% with all other
variables held constant and all the Fund's equity instruments moved according to the historical correlation with
the index. This represents management's best estimate of a reasonable possible shift in the KMI-30 Index,
having regard to the historical volatility of the index. The composition of the Fund's investment portfolio and the
correlation thereof to the KMI-30 Index, is expected to change over time. Accordingly, the sensitivity analysis
prepared as of June 30, 2021 is not necessarily indicative of the effect on the Fund's net assets of future
movements in the level of the KMI-30 Index.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund may not be able to generate sufficient cash resources to settle its obligation in
full as they fall due or can only do so on terms that are materially disadvantageous to the Fund.
The Fund is exposed to daily settlement of equity securities and daily redemptions at the option of unit holders. The
Fund's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that the Fund will always have sufficient
liquidity to meet its liabilities when due under both normal and stressed conditions. The Fund's policy is, therefore, to
invest the majority of its assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed and
are considered readily realisable.
As per the NBFC Regulations, the Fund can borrow in the short-term to ensure settlement. The maximum limit of
which is fifteen percent of the net assets upto 90 days and would be secured by the assets of the Fund.
In order to manage the Fund's overall liquidity, the Fund may also withhold daily redemption requests in excess of ten
percent of the units in issue and such requests would be treated as redemption requests qualifying for being
processed on the next business day. Such procedure would continue until the outstanding redemption requests come
down to a level below ten percent of the units then in issue. The Fund did not withhold any redemptions during the
year.
The table below summaries the maturity profile of the Fund's financial instruments. The analysis into relevant maturity
groupings is based on the remaining period at the end of the reporting period to the contractual maturity dates.
However, the assets and liabilities that are receivable / payable on demand including bank balances have been
included in the maturity grouping of one month:
18.3.1 Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss to the Fund by failing to
discharge its obligation as it falls due. The table below analyses the Fund's maximum exposure to credit risk:
2021 2020
Balance as Balance as per
Maximum Maximum
per statement statement of
exposure to exposure to
of assets and assets and
credit risk credit risk
liabilities liabilities
Rupees in '000 Rupees in '000
Difference in the balance as per the statement of assets and liabilities and maximum exposure is due to the fact that
investment in equity securities of Rs. 990.186 million (2020: Rs. 595.501 million) is not exposed to credit risk.
There is a possibility of default by participants or failure of the financial market / stock exchanges, the depositories,
the settlements or clearing systems, etc. Settlement risk on equity securities is considered minimal because of
inherent control established in the settlement process. The Fund's policy is to enter into financial contracts in
accordance with internal risk management policies and instruments guidelines approved by the Investment
Committee.
The Fund's significant credit risk (excluding credit risk relating to settlement of equity securities) arises mainly on
account of its placements in banks and mark-up accrued thereon, cheques in hand, dividend receivable and
receivable against sale of units and against investments. The credit rating profile of balances with banks is as follows:
% of financial assets
Rating exposed to credit risk
2021 2020
AAA 16.15% -
AA+ 57.67% 98.80%
A+ 24.48% 0.46%
AA 1.70% 0.74%
100.00% 100.00%
Concentration of credit risk exists when changes in economic or industry factors similarly affect groups of
counterparties whose aggregate credit exposure is significant in relation to the Fund's total credit exposure. The
Funds portfolio of financial assets is mainly held with credit worthy counterparties thereby mitigating any credit risk.
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).
As at June 30, 2021, the Fund held the following financial instruments measured at fair values:
The unit holders' fund is represented by redeemable units. These units are entitled to dividends and to payment of a
proportionate share based on the Fund's Net Asset Value per unit on the redemption date. The relevant movements
are shown on the 'Statement of Movement in Unit Holders' Fund'.
The Fund has no restriction on the subscription and redemption of units. As required under the NBFC Regulations,
every open end scheme shall maintain fund size (i.e. net assets of the Fund) of Rs. 100 million at all times during the
life of the scheme. The Fund has historically maintained and complied with the requirement of minimum fund size at
all times.
The Fund's objectives when managing unit holders' funds are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern
so that it can continue to provide returns to the unit holders and to maintain a strong base of assets to meet
unexpected losses or opportunities.
