Only those funds, whose assets were under constant management of indicated PAMC throughout the reporting period, are shown in the table. Comparison of data on other APF, whose assets were under the management for incomplete period, will be inaccurate. Ratio of nominal income (K2), by the method of NSC, reflects the profitability of APF assets calculated by accruing totals. Ratio of real income (K3) - NSC estimate of the profitability of the assets, including consumer price index (CPI) in Kazakhstan, which equaled 120.4 by the data of NSC. Devaluation of national currency that reached 60.89% (IRBIS estimates) by weighted average rate of tenge towards dollar of the Exchange does not take into consideration K3. Actually, assets of the depositors are protected against devaluation by investing them into securities indexed by the change in exchange rate of tenge against the dollar (AVMEKAM, MEKAVM, SS of local executive bodies), into currency bonds (euronotes of Kazakhstan, securities of foreign emitters) and currency deposits of the banks.
