NATURE OF THE FUND
Al-Ahli International Trade Fund (the "Fund") is an open-end, short-term investment Fund, managed by NCB Capital Company ("the Fund Manager"), a subsidiary of The National Commercial Bank (“the Bank”), for the benefit of the Fund's unitholders. The Fund is ultimately supervised by the Fund Board. NCB Capital Company acts as the custodian of the Fund. The assets of the Fund principally comprise trading contracts and the Fund offers investors the opportunity to participate in trade transactions which conform to Shariah principles. The Fund purchases goods, and then contracts to sell them at a mark-up on deferred payment terms. The murabaha trading contracts are for terms of less than a year, and usually less than 6 months, and are with large, well-established multi-national corporations. The terms and conditions of the Fund were originally approved by the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA) and subsequently endorsed by the Capital Market Authority (CMA) through a letter dated 18 Dhul Hijja 1429H (corresponding to 16 December 2008). The Fund commenced its activities on 6 March 1987. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in United States (U.S.) Dollars which represents the functional and presentation currency of the Fund. All financial information presented in U.S. Dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand. The results for the six month period ended 30 June 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the financial year ending 31 December 2015. 2.
REGULATING AUTHORITY
The Fund is governed by the Investment Funds Regulations (the Regulations), issued by the Capital Market Authority (CMA) pursuant to resolution number 1-219-2006 dated 3 Dhul Hijja 1427H (corresponding to 24 December 2006), detailing requirements for all funds within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. 3.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and they are in conformity with the guidelines of the CMA, in so far as they affect the preparation and presentation of the interim financial statements. The significant accounting policies adopted are consistent with those used and disclosed in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014. 4.
CHANGES IN FUND’S TERMS AND CONDITIONS
During the period ended 30 June 2015, the fund manager has made certain revisions to the terms and conditions of the Fund with the objective of complying with the Investment Funds Regulations issued by the CMA. The main change in the terms and conditions relate to change in the Fund Board members. The changes in the term and conditions do not have any impact on these financial statements. The change in the Fund Board members was approved by CMA through its letter dated 15 December 2014 and was notified by the Fund manager to the unitholders through a letter dated 25 December 2014. The revised terms and conditions became effective from 24 February 2015 5.
MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER EXPENSES
The Fund is managed and administered by the Fund Manager. For these services, the Fund accrues daily a management fee, as determined by the Fund Manager, but which is no more than the maximum annual rate of 0.75% p.a., as set out in the Fund’s terms and conditions, of the Fund's daily net assets. The Fund Manager is also entitled to recover expenses incurred on behalf of the Fund relating to audit, custody, data processing and other similar charges. The maximum amount of such expenses that can be recovered from the Fund by the Fund Manager is restricted to 0.5% per annum of the Fund's net assets at the respective valuation days. These expenses have been recovered by the Fund Manager on an actual basis. The Fund Manager is allocated units in settlement of the management fee and other expenses on every valuation day, which are reinvested in the Fund.
