MEFIC IPO FUND FACT SHEET –DECEMBER 2015 Fund Background
Performance Review
MEFIC Capital launched MEFIC IPO Fund on May 2014. MEFIC IPO Fund is an open end Shariah compliant mutual fund which can invest in IPOs, Small & Medium Cap Companies and the companies which are listed in the last three years.
During the month of December, the global markets continue downward trend due to concerns surrounding China’s manufacturing activity slowdown. The GCC markets were under pressure due to OPEC’s decision of not cutting oil supply. Also, there were massive cuts in spending announced by the GCC governments. In KSA, there was a spending cut of over 2% compared to last year’s budgeted spending. However, the fund continued to outperform the market and since inception alpha stood at by 49.81% . Going forward, we believe the Saudi market would be under stress due to falling oil prices, unstable political situation in the region and slow down in economic growth.
