Maheen Rahman, head of Karachi-based fund manager Alfalah Investments, doesn’t see the rally fizzling out just yet, either. Rahman’s opinion is worth listening to: not only is she Pakistan’s sole female portfolio manager, her fund has been the top performer since its inception in 2009.

The next leg of the market rally could also come from Pakistan’s blue chip banks. Of the country’s population of almost 200 million, it’s thought that less than a fifth of Pakistanis hold bank accounts. The number of people who use more exotic products - like mutual funds - is thought to be a couple of hundred thousand. That’s a big opportunity for lenders to expand their base of low cost deposits – a cheap source of funds.
