Performance of AIMS FundAFGMF has nearly completed its journey of the initial five years successfully.

In the past four years AFGMF has not only charted a different and distinct path in terms of a mutual fund, but also emerged as a preferred investable security for the astute investors in a persisting depressed market. The Fund made a resounding debut on May 27, 2000 at Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE) and at Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) on May 28, 2000 when enthusiastic investors traded 10.62 million units valuing Tk12.2 million which comprised almost 16% of the total trade at DSE on the day. Since debut the Fund experienced some 1,329 trading days till March 31, 2005 in which the units had a turnover rate of 10.35 times, where investors reaped a total dividend income of Tk22.4 million in cash as well as substantial capital gains. During the past 4 years 10 months, the Fund has undergone many adverse situations and market price of the units at times went below the face value. The price of the units during its lifetime ranged between Tk0.67 to Tk2.01 at the Exchanges, reflecting market sentiment and expectations over the period. Today we are proud to bring to your kind attention that irrespective of market condition and price, the net asset value (NAV) of your mutual fund never went below the paid-up value of Tk1.00 per share even for a single day, during its entire lifetime. It was no mean achievement in an uncongenial period that the Fund had to live through. The NAV was regularly declared on a month-end basis through the exchanges and media for the benefit of the investors, standing as another unique feature for the first time in the industry. In fact the prudent long-term investors who had futuristic vision have in particular benefited from the information and also the lower market price that facilitated planned acquisition in investment portfolio. As per record, there were about 2000 unit holders immediately after the IPO of the Fund, which stood at about 1,350 by end-March 2005. As mentioned, the Fund operated through various unforeseen adversities and being the first of its kind, it has also acted as a testing ground of relevant regulations by the market watchdog. It has not only survived the market risks but also many restrictions and uneven competition from other mutual funds operated by the government investment agencies, which are not in the purview of the SEC. The Fund has declared cash dividend ranging from 7% to 15% during the past years and the future looks more promising. Over years the Trustee and the Asset Manager of your Fund have also gained invaluable experience on running a mutual fund transparently and successfully while serving the best interests of the unit holders as well as develop the capital market. This experience has in fact translated into performance that you can evaluate today.
