/IRBIS, Nov.17, 00/ - The National securities commission of Kazakhstan (NSC) has calculated ratios of real and nominal incomes of accumulative pension funds (APF) of the country for October 1999 - October 2000. The data are presented in the following table. When compiling the table the agency IRBIS included the information of NSC on volumes of net assets of APF (total pension assets less liabilities on charged commissions, accounts payable on pensions) as of November 1, 1999 and November 1, 2000. Assets have been converted into U.S. dollars at official rate of the National Bank, effective on given dates. In parentheses are the differences between comparable figure of previous month. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net assets, mln USD Ratio of Ratio of ------------------- real nominal As of As of Title of PAMC or APF income К3 income К2 Nov.1.99 Nov.1.00 -------------------------------- ------------ ------------- --------- --------- Gosudarstvennyi nakopitelnyi pensionnyi fond CJSC ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gosudarstvennyi nakopitelnyi 0.03 10.43 pensionnyi fond CJSC (-1.35) (-0.88) 223.469 291.499 -------------------------------- ------------ ------------- --------- --------- Kompanya po upravleniu pensionnymi aktivami ABN AMRO Asset Management CJSC ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- APF Narodnyi pensionnyi fond 3.90 (-2.83) 14.71 (-2.48) 5.895 10.655 JSCOT APF KaspiiMunaiGas CJSC 2.26 (-3.90) 12.89 (-3.67) 5.170 12.836 OPAPF ABN AMRO CJSC 1.67 (-4.00) 12.24 (-3.79) 9.034 25.839 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kompanya po upravleniu pensionnymi aktivami Jetysu CJSC ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Otkrytyi nakopitelnyi pensionnyi 2.94 13.65 fond Ular CJSC (-4.20) (-4.00) 24.633 55.851 Nakopitelnyi pensionnyi fond 3.59 14.36 Kazakhmys CJSC (-4.42) (-4.23) 15.945 27.830 -------------------------------- ------------ ------------- --------- --------- Kompanya Halyk Bank Kazakhstan po upravleniu pensionnymi aktivami CJSC ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- APF Halyk Bank of Kazakhstan 3.01 (-4.09) 13.72 (-3.88) 68.134 136.167 CJSC -------------------------------- ------------ ------------- --------- --------- Kompanya po upravleniu pensionnymi aktivami Ak niet CJSC ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- APF UMIT CJSC 4.97 (-3.70) 15.89 (-3.43) 22.392 55.127 -------------------------------- ------------ ------------- --------- --------- Kompanya po upravleniu pensionnymi aktivami BTA Asset Management CJSC ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOAPF Kurmet CJSC 1.18 (-4.45) 11.70 (-4.28) 3.419 17.407 -------------------------------- ------------ ------------- --------- --------- By the data of NSC weighted average ratio of real income for pension assets of the accumulative pension funds mentioned above for October 1999 - October 2000 equaled 3.16 (7.24 - for pervious period). 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 110.4 (109.8) by the data of NSC. Devaluation of national currency, that reached 1.84% (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, into currency bonds and currency deposits of the banks.
