The investment objective of the Fund is to invest in a broadly diversified portfolio of Saudi Arabian equities including money market and murabaha funds. The Fund was established on 13 Shawwal 1410H (corresponding to 8 May 1990) by Arab National Bank (the Bank ). In accordance with the Capital Market Authority s (CMA) decision No. 1-83-2005 dated 21 Jumada Awal 1426H (corresponding to 28 June 2005) issued by the CMA Board in connection with the regulations relating to Authorised Persons, the Bank has transferred its asset management operations to Arab National Investment Company (the Fund Manager ), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank, effective 1 January 2008. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in Saudi Riyals. 2 REGULATING AUTHORITY The Fund is governed by the Investment Fund Regulations (the Regulations ) issued by the CMA on 3 Dhul Hijja 1427H (corresponding to 24 December 2006) and effective from 6 Safar 1438H (corresponding 6 November ) by the New Investment Fund Regulations ( Amended Regulations ) published by the Capital Market Authority on 16 Sha aban 1437H (corresponding to 23 May ), detailing requirements for all funds within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Investments in mutual funds are valued on the basis of net asset values published by the Fund Manager. Investment transactions Investments transactions are accounted for as of the trade date.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 31 December 7 RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) Equity price risk Equity price risk is the risk that the fair value of equities changes as the result of changes in the levels of equity indices and the value of individual stocks. According to the Fund s management, the effect on the statement of operations (as a result of a change in fair value of equity instruments held in the trading portfolio) due to a reasonable possible change in equity indices, with all other variables held constant, is as follows: The sensitivity analysis presented below is based on a historical comparison of unit price and underlying index volatilities. This sensitivity analysis relies upon assumptions including a correlation of the equity holdings of the Fund with the index composition. Market index Change in equity price Effect on statement of operations Effect on statement of operations Change in Equity price % % Tadawul 10 10,462,518 10 14,064,593 Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will encounter difficulty in releasing funds to meet commitments associated with financial liabilities. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at an amount close to its fair value. The Fund s terms and conditions provide for redemptions of units twice a week and it is, therefore, exposed to the liquidity risk of meeting Unit holders redemptions. The Fund s trading investments are considered to be readily realisable, as the equity investments are listed on the Saudi stock market and investments, if any, in mutual funds can be redeemed any time throughout the week. The Fund Manager monitors liquidity requirements on a regular basis and seeks to ensure that sufficient funds are available including bank facilities to meet commitments as they arise. Currency risk Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to a change in foreign exchange rates. The Fund s functional currency is the Saudi Riyal. As the Fund s financial assets and financial liabilities are denominated in its functional currency, the Fund is not subject to currency risk. 8 FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial instruments comprise financial assets and financial liabilities. The Fund s financial assets consist of bank balances, dividend receivables and trading investments. The financial liabilities consist of payables. Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm s length transaction. For investments traded in an active market, fair value is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices. Trading investments are carried at their fair value. The fair values of other financial instruments are not expected to be materially different from their carrying value. 9 LAST VALUATION DAY The last valuation day of the year was 31 December (: 28 December ). 10 FUND BOARD APPROVAL The financial statement of the fund for the year was approved by the Fund Board on 29 March 2018. 10
