FUND MANAGER’S COMMENTARY The Fund’s NAV declined by 0.54% in Q4 of 2015, outperforming the Benchmark by 4.58%. Media, Telecom and Multi Investments were the best performing sectors, outperforming the Benchmark by 167%, 9.4% and 8.0% respectively. Cement, Petrochemicals and Transport were the worst performing sectors, underperforming the Benchmark by 8.8%, 5.5% and 5.4% respectively. Mainly, the underweight in Cement and Petrochemicals along with the overweight in Industrial Investments and cash holdings attributed to the outperformance of the Fund. Brent crude prices fell 24%, during Q4, which put pressure on fiscal finances. Saudi announced a budget of SAR 840 billion, which includes a support provision of SAR 183 billion. This provision is a hedge against Brent price movements and if unutilized will result in an approximately 30% spending cut. Moreover, subsidies were almost halved on energy products to achieve fiscal targets for 2016 and tax on vacant lands was imposed in Saudi Arabia to support non-oil revenue. Globally, Yuan was devalued by 3.2% during Q4 and commodities slumped across the board. In addition, US FED increased rates by 25 bps. Hence as a result of various factors the regional stock markets remain depressed.
