5 1. Executive Summary MARKAZ SECTOR RESEARCH Egypt Asset Management Industry manages USD 9.3billion 1 in assets in about 88 funds as of January, 2013 Money market funds lead the pack with 90% share, followed distantly by equities at 4.5% Egypt Asset Management Industry manages USD 9.3billion 1 in assets in about 88 funds as of January, In terms of products, money market funds lead the pack with 90% share, followed distantly by equities at 4.5%. Remainder of the assets is spread across fixed income and specialized funds. Of the total assets, conventional funds manage USD 9.2bn (c.99%) in assets while Islamic assets are meager. In terms of the number of funds, there are 34 equity funds, 27 money market funds, 19 specialized funds and 8 fixed income funds. AuM/GDP ratio for Egypt stands at 3.5%, implying lack of mutual fund penetration as an investment option. Egypt asset management market is concentrated among the top asset management companies, with the top three asset managers (out of a total of 21 managers) accounting for 76% of the total assets being managed. Beltone Asset Management leads the list of large asset management companies with USD 3.84bn in assets (41.4% market share), followed by Al Ahly fund & Portfolio Management Company with USD 1.85bn in assets (19.9% share) and EFG-Hermes Holding with USD 1.38bn in assets (14.9% share). Egypt stock market witnessed participation from both retail and institutional investors in equal measures. Local nationals dominate the retail segment while foreign institutions (European & US) are active in good numbers apart from the state institutions. Pension fund assets which are poorly diversified and lack liquidity in the current form holds potential to play a pivotal role, if proper reforms are implemented, considering its size in relation to Egyptian GDP. Insurance assets are too small in size to play a substantial role while debt markets remain largely under developed. Acceleration of privatization programme, introduction of various products to facilitate hedging and enhanced price discovery and increased disclosure norms for listed firms would augur well for the asset management industry. 1 Assets under Management (AuM) refer to mutual fund assets. AuM value computed for funds with Egypt as their geographical focus. Kuwait Financial Centre Markaz 5
