What is a balanced fund?
A balanced fund is a versatile investment program... in a single investment.
Through a portfolio of rigorously screened and monitored stocks, debt securities and short-term instruments, a balanced fund
gives the investment e chance to perform two important jobs, to grow and to produce income.
Public offering
UTP Units are being offered for public subscription on a continuous basis of sale and redemption from October 27, 1997, through
an Offering Document. The initial offer price was Rs. 5,000/=.
Listing
The Units issued by UTP are listed on the Lahore Stock Exchange.
Mutual fund rating
UTP has been assigned AA(f) rating by PACRA. The rating denotes the ability of the fund to consistently out perform its peers with
strong capacity to respond to future opportunities or stress situation.
Units of UTP

· Units redeemable by surrendering to UTP
· Units are also transferable
· Par value of Units Rs. 5,000/=
· Minimum subscription for investment is one Unit and there is no upper limit set on the Units to be issued
Unit types
UTP is authorized to issue four varying types of Units.
· Type "A" Units are those, which do not carry any sales load and are issued only.on reinvestment of the dividend amount for
  purchase of Units.
· Type "B" Units carry front-end load which the applicants pay at the time of purchase of Units and is included in the sale price.
· Type "C" Units carry back-end load, which, the applicants pay at the time of redemption of their Units only.
· Type "D" Units carry contingent load, which the applicants pay at the time of redemption. However, the sales load is charged at a
  declining rate for every year Units are held.
Presently only Type "A" & Type "B" Units are offered. It is proposed to offer Type "D" Units in near future subject to the approval of
Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan.
Unit prices
· UTP's Offer and Redemption Prices are based on the NAV. Units are fully backed by the assets of UTR
· The Offer Price at which Type "B" Units are sold is equal to the sum of the NAV and a sales load of 2% of the net asset value of
  Units and rounded upwards to the nearest Rupee. Type "A" Units are issued on reinvestment of dividend amount into Units.
  These are issued at NAV at the year-end (June 30) and rounded upward to the nearest Rupee. The Redemption Price at which
  Type "A" and Type "B" Units are redeemed is equal to the NAV and rounded downwards to the nearest Rupee.
· The Offer and Redemption Prices are announced by the Management Company each Saturday and are valid for four working
  days (Mon -Thu) of the following week. If during the week, there is more than 2% variation in NAV, the Management Company
  will announce new Unit Prices for the remaining week.
How UTP makes investment easy for you
* Automatic Reinvestment of Dividend
Distributions may be received in cash or reinvested in the Fund free of sales load. Overtime, the power of compounding can
significantly increase the value of your investment.
* Easy Access to Your Money
Your Units may be redeemed at the NAV and capital returned in just six working days. The price of Units redeemed may be
more or less than their original cost, depending on the market conditions.
Approved security
The Units issued by UTP are approved security under section 20(h) of the Trusts Act, 1882 and section 227(2)(c) of the Companies
Ordinance, 1984 for investment by provident fund schemes without any limitations. The Units are also approved investment under
the Insurance Act, 1938 and under NBFI Rule 6(b) for maintaining liquidity of non-banking financial institutions.
Circumstances under which UTP may be terminated
The Management Company may terminate UTP, if the net assets at any time fall below Rupees Fifty million. The Securities and
Exchange Commission of Pakistan may also terminate UTP, if the Commission considers that further continuation of the
authorization of UTP will not be in the interest of the Unitholders.
Investment of UTP funds
* Goal
The investment goal of UTP is to provide to the investors in UTP Units long-term capital appreciation, current income,
preservation of principal and almost immediate access to the money if the Units are redeemed.
* Diversification
UTP offers the benefit of diversification of investment of its funds in different types of financial assets.
* Strategy
UTP's funds are invested in three types of high quality assets.
· Shares of companies with consistent dividend record
Historically such shares have shown improvement in dividend yield and appreciation .in value and have the potential to
outperform other types of investments over the long-term. However, shares also tend to have wider price fluctuations than
other securities.
· Debt instruments of companies with good credit rating
They provide regular current income and a cushion against fluctuations in share prices.
· Short-term money market instruments
They represent investments of varying maturities from over-night to period not exceeding six months and are backed by
Government paper or such securities, which are suitable for UTP's investment. These investments provide regular current
income, a cushion against fluctuations in share price and liquidity to UTP for making optimum advantages of investment
opportunities.
Dividend distribution and income tax
*Tax on UTP
UTP will distribute at least 90% of its income to Unitholders for each financial year. On this basis, the income of UTP will be
exempted from income tax under section 102-D of part 1 of the second schedule of Income Tax Ordinance, 1979.

Report of the Directors of the
Management Company
The Board of Directors of ABAMCO Limited, the management company of Unit Trust of Pakistan
(UTP), presents the Third Annual Report on the working of UTP together with the audited accounts
for the year ended June 30, 2000.
1. INCOME OF UTP
The income for the year ended June 30, 2000 was Rs. 109.303 million (1999: Rs. 48.611 million)
after providing Rs. 0.452 million as provision for diminution in market value of investments on
individual investment basis (1999: Rs. 1.069 million). The income works out to Rs. 1,235 per unit
(1999: Rs. 685 per unit), showing an increase of 80%. During the year, the return available in money
market declined substantially. UTP's funds were therefore, moved from investment in money market
instruments to equity securities. The decline in income from money market was more than offset by
handsome increase in income from capital gains, which UTP was able to realise from sale of equity
securities.
2. SALE AND REDEMPTION OF UNITS
During the year under review, 30,838 Units with a value of Rs. 193.922 million were sold (1999:6,130
Units with a value of Rs. 33.214 million) and 13,285 Units with a value of Rs. 74.403 million were
redeemed (1999:3,486 Units with a value of Rs. 17.580 million). Net sales were 17,553 Units with
a value of Rs. 119.520 million (1999:2,644 Units with a value of Rs. 15.634 million). As on June 30,
2000 Units outstanding were 88,496 with a value of Rs. 469.046 million (1999:70,943 Units with
a value of Rs. 358.281 million), reflecting an increase of 24.74% in number of Units and 30.92% in
their values.
3. UNIT PRICES
After the announcement of dividend for the year ended June 30, 1999, the ex-dividend offer and
redemption prices of Units were fixed at Rs. 5,186 and Rs. 5,085 respectively for the period from
July 19, 1999 to July 22, 1999, based on the net asset value (NAV) of Units on July 16, 1999.
Subsequently the Unit prices were announced weekly on every Saturday for the following week,
based on the NAV of Units on previous Friday. Due to market movements the variations in NAV
exceeded 2% during the week January 10-13, 2000 (+2.06%) and week January 24-27, 2000
(-2.76%). The transactions in UTP Units at previous offer and redemption prices were suspended.
New prices were then announced for remaining days of the week, which were Thursday, January 13,
2000 in the first case and Wednesday and Thursday, January 26 and 27, 2000 in the second case.
At the end of the year on June 30, 2000, the offer and redemption prices stood at Rs. 6,432 and
Rs. 6,331 respectively (June 30, 1999: Rs. 5,742 and Rs. 5,641).
The register of Unitholders was closed from July 1, 2000 to July 22, 2000 to determine the
entitlement to dividend. The sale and redemption of Units will now recommence from Monday,
July 24, 2000. The ex-dividend offer and redemption prices have been fixed at Rs. 5,513 and
Rs. 5,412 respectively for the period Monday, July 24, 2000 to Thursday, July 27, 2000 based on NAV
of Friday, July 21, 2000.
4. DISTRIBUTION ON UNITS AND TOTAL RETURN
The Management Company has declared a dividend of Rs. 1,125 per Unit (1999: Rs. 675 per Unit)
for the year ended June 30, 2000. This is equivalent to 22.50% (1999: 13.50%) of the par value of
Units of Rs. 5,000 each. As 91.08% (1999: 98.50%) of income of the year is being distributed to
Unitholders, there will be no liability for income tax. Rs. 10.87 million is being retained. After setting
aside the dividend amount, the NAV of Units comes to Rs. 5,300 on June 30, 2000 (June 30, 1999:
Rs. 5,050).
The dividend warrants and Unit certificates/account statements for Units acquired through
reinvestment of dividend are under preparation and will be dispatched to Unitholders by
August 20, 2000.
5. RETURN ON UTP UNITS
UTP has been showing a steady and consistent performance since its public offering. The following
table will show the total return earned by Unitholders who were holding their investment on
June 30, 2000.

July 19, 1999 (2)* Rs. 5,186 25.13%
(1)* The date of initial public offering
(2)* The date of reopening of Unitholders' register ~
6. APPROVED SECURITY STATUS AND LEVEL PLAYING FIELD
The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has notified UTP as approved
investment under the Insurance Act, 1938 and the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has approved UTP
under NBFI Rule 6 for investment of Statutory Liquidity Reserve (SLR) of non-banking financial
institutions initially for a period of two years.
We thank the SECP and SBP for removing these anomalies. We expect that SBP will soon remove
the restriction of two years on UTP's approval.
We also thank the Honourable Finance Minister for his support in resolving these pending issues and
bringing level playing field.
UTP has still not been approved under the Banking Ordinance, 1962 for investment of SLR of
banking companies, whereas public sector unit trust scheme is approved for this purpose. We hope
that in line with the Government policy this anomaly will also be removed.
7. AUDITORS
The Management Company has re-appointed Messrs. Ford, Rhodes, Robson, Morrow - Chartered
Accountants as auditors of UTP for the financial year 2000-2001.
8. THANKS
The Board of Directors of the Management Company thanks the Securities and Exchange
Commission of Pakistan for their valuable support, understanding and guidance.
