Notes: Only the funds whose assets were constantly controlled by the mentioned PAMC within the whole reporting period have been included into the table. Comparison of the data with other APF whose assets were not under control within the whole period will be incorrect.

Weighted average coefficient of real income on pension assets of accumulative pension funds mentioned above within May 1, 2001 - May 1, 2002 equaled by the Department's data to 8,82% (8,74% and 8,95% within two previous periods in the reverse chronological order correspondingly).

Nominal income coefficient (К2), according to the department's methods reflects APF assets yield excluded by accumulative result.

Real income coefficient (К3) - the department's estimation of assets yield including index of consumer prices in Kazakhstan which equaled according to the National Bank's data to 105.4 (104.8; 105.0) within the period.

Devaluation of the national currency that is estimated in this period by the stock exchange's weighted average rate to KZT at 4,54% (estimation of IRBIS), does not take into account К3. De-facto, investors' assets are protected from devaluation during management by making investments into securities indexed by changing the exchange's rate of KZT to USD, currency securities and into deposits of banks as well.

Note: agency IRBIS is not responsible for the accuracy of the data given to the agency as well as for calculation methods correctness of the coefficients mentioned above.
