Investment Policy The fund’s objective is to provide investors with a Sharia-compliant investment for steady capital appreciation with a high degree of capital preservation, superior liquidity and no foreign exchange risk. The fund invests in Morabaha (trade finance) transactions executed in accordance with Sahriah principles. Morabaha encompasses the purchase of goods and commodities from approved suppliers against immediate payment & the selling of them to reputed organizations on deferred payment terms thus generating a profit. All the profits are reinvested in the Fund, thus increasing its unit price. The large size of the fund’s collective investment ensures diversification and thus lower risk. The performance of the fund is compared to the Saudi Riyal 1-Months Interbank Bidding Rate (SIBID).

Market Overview The Saudi economy has shown more signs of recovery during the past months compared to major economies, where a potential growth during 2014-2015 is more likely to match if not exceed that of major & developed economies. In addition, the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency’s (SAMA) Reverse Repo Rate is reasonably related to the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) Target Rate, where the later might be hiked during 2014. Generally speaking economic activity is picking up where a spike might be showing during 2015. Moreover, the Saudi economy is a rather oil-based-economy, where prices are averaging above 95$/Barrel, which feeds the potential growth. Oil is expected to remain above 85$/Barrel for quite a while & with the mortgage law regulations & legislations Banks would have a newly legalized channel. As soon as the global economy starts moving during 2014/2015 interest rates should pick up. Where signals from the Euro region recovering and the consideration of hiking interest is rather likely. The Saudi Economy has slightly suffered from the political instability in the region, where its security stood still; however, the regional instability elevated the country’s risk profile. On the other hand, Saudi is benefiting from the consequent elevated oil prices due to the political instability in the region. The main concern is the globalization effects. Investment Review Despite low market rates & excess liquidity in the banking system, Saudi Hollandi Capital’s Al-Yusr SAR Morabaha Fund posted returns outperforming its Benchmark (1Months SIBID) overall. We believe interest rates might increase during the last quarter of 2015. This will, in combination with market conditions; alter the fund’s duration & will adjust accordingly.
