Full Story
Open on PSX## Background
Tri‑Star Mutual Fund Limited (TSMF), a listed closed‑end mutual fund on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, convened an Extraordinary General Meeting (EOGM) on 2 September 2026. The meeting was called to address several statutory items that required shareholder approval.
## Resolutions Approved
- Appointment of Directors: Shareholders elected Mr. Ahmed Khan and Ms. Sana Ali as independent directors for a term of three years, replacing two retiring board members. - Audited Financial Statements: The audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2023, prepared by KPMG, were presented and approved without objection. - Dividend Distribution: The board proposed, and shareholders approved, a final cash dividend of PKR 2.00 per unit, payable on 15 October 2026. - Authorization of Share Buy‑Back: The EOGM authorized the board to repurchase up to 5 % of the fund’s outstanding units over the next twelve months, subject to market conditions and regulatory approval.
## Management Comments
Mr. Faisal Rashid, Chief Executive Officer of TSMF, thanked shareholders for their continued confidence and highlighted the fund’s strong performance, noting a 12 % total return for 2023 driven by exposure to high‑yield Pakistani equities and fixed‑income instruments. He emphasized that the newly appointed directors bring extensive experience in asset management and risk oversight, which will support the fund’s growth strategy.
## Regulatory and Market Implications
The resolutions comply with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) requirements for listed mutual funds. The approved dividend and potential share buy‑back are expected to enhance unit liquidity and may attract income‑seeking investors, though the impact on the broader market is limited.
## Outlook
With the new board composition and a clear dividend policy, TSMF aims to maintain its competitive positioning among listed mutual funds. Investors will monitor the execution of the buy‑back programme and any subsequent changes in the fund’s asset allocation.
## Key Takeaways
- Two new independent directors appointed. - FY2023 audited results approved. - Final dividend of PKR 2.00 per unit declared. - Authorization for a 5 % unit buy‑back over the next year.
