Historical return is no guarantee of future return. The value of invested capital may vary substantially due to the composition of the fund and the investment process used by the fund manager. The Full Prospectus, KIID etc. are available on our homepage. You can also contact us to receive the documents free of charge. See full disclaimer on www.tundrafonder.se 2 TUNDRA CASE AISHA STEEL MILLS LIMITED INTRODUCTION In early 2017, Aisha Steel Mills Limited (ASML) was bought on behalf of three of Tundra Fonder’s funds. The first and only exposure in the steel market in Pakistan, ASML constitutes an interesting case study of a sustainable mid-sized steel company in the country. Factors such as continued economic growth in the country, an increased demand for steel, and regulations promoting domestic manufacturing created a favorable investment environment. The iron and steel sector is one of the most energy-intensive in the world. With a global capacity of just over 1.6bn tonnes (2016), the sector relies heavily on water, energy and labour [1]. Materials needed to make steel include iron ore, coal, limestone and recycled steel. Steel production methods have evolved significantly since the steel industry first began in the late 19th century.
