MEFIC Local Equity Fund – August 2016 Fund Background
Performance Review
MEFIC Capital launched MEFIC Local Equity Fund on 4th May 2015. MEFIC Local Equity Fund is an open end Shariah compliant mutual fund which can invest in Saudi listed equities & IPOs.
At the end of 31st Aug 2016, TASI closed at 6080 level, a decrease of -3.5% MoM even though the oil prices increased by 10.7% MoM. We believe the decline in TASI was due to investor concerns over the future policy guidance by the Fed Reserve for increase of interest rates. This was coupled with concerns over expected subsidy removals in the upcoming budget, weak retail demand and expected decline in corporate sector earnings. The fund however continues to outperform the market on since inception basis with an alpha of +12% .
