MARKET REVIEW AND FUTURE OUTLOOK
The KSE 100 share index stood at 1564 points at the end of 1st Quarter of the year i.e. 30th Sept 2000
and started to rise and reached 1637 points before returning to 1507 points as on 31st Dec. 2000. It
started its downward journey reaching 1324 Points as on 30th March 2001 and finally closed at 1366
Points as on 30th June 2001.
The genuine investor has moved out of the market due to speculative activities. The efforts of SECP
to curb speculation by tightening trading regulations will hopefully yield positive results in near future.
The future prospects of the market will depend on economic revival, removal of uncertainties on
political front, better law and order situation, return of both foreign and local investors to the market.
Pakistan' s credit rating and foreign reserves have increased. we are confident that stock market
conditions will improve and we will be able to achieve better results in future.

valuable securities including FEBC's/bearer NIT units of all our Group Companies which included FEBC's of the Fund,
without lawful authority and without making any inventory. This raid caused a serious disruption in Fund's business. The Fund
has filed a suit against the Income Tax authorities in the Hon' ble High Court of Sindh challenging the act as illegal. The Hon
'ble High Court of Sindh held vide its order dated 31.07.98 that the presence of irregularities and malafides in the acts of
Income Tax Department cannot be ruled out. Further the remaining two ingredients namely balance of convenience and
causing irreparable loss and injury also exists in favour of Fund. Further Income Tax department was directed to submit their
report keeping in view the provision of section 146 (c) of the Income Tax Ordinance, 1979 declaring how much more time they
would need to return the impounded documents and records. Inspite of the orders of the Hon 'ble High Court of Sindh, the
Income Tax Department has neither returned the records nor any FEBC' s/valuables. The Fund has filed a contempt
application against the Department and the matter is subjudice.
