The full program is available on the website: http://www.terrapinn.com/2008/hfwme/ Pakistan has been amongst the best performing markets in the world in 2007 and 2008, year to date, with the Karachi Stock Exchange’s KSE-100 index returning 40% to investors in CY07, despite the politically turbulent year that Pakistan faced in 2007. In 2008, while international equities have fallen across the globe, Pakistan offers excellent hedging opportunities since Pakistan has a low correlation with most major exchanges. BMA’s Pakistan Opportunities Fund, Pakistan’s first and only offshore open-end country fund offers international investors an excellent avenue to take advantage of the robust growth opportunities in Pakistani equities through a long-short strategy.
