Fund Manager s Commentary At Jadwa Investment, we are committed to our research-driven, high conviction approach to investing, which we believe can generate above-average risk-adjusted returns for our clients. Our investment strategy is based on long term views founded upon economic, industry and company level fundamentals. 2016 was a challenging year in capital markets globally, characterized by high levels of uncertainty. Oil prices collapsed at the start of the year and then more than doubled as global economic activity stabilized, US oil production levels declined and major oil producing nations stepped up efforts to reach supply cut agreements. Given oil is a major source of revenue for Saudi Arabia, low and volatile oil price along with uncertainty related to government spending affected investors risk appetite. Moreover, delay in government payments and periodic issuance of local government debt squeezed money supply from the system. As a result, the first three quarters of the year were marked by rising interbank rates and declining valuations of local risk assets. Towards year end, however, the local bourse remained buoyed driven by substantial improvement in money supply (due to successful debut international government bond issuance and measures taken by SAMA to ease system liquidity), stabilization of oil prices at relatively higher levels, as well as positive steps taken by CMA and Tadawul to enable inclusion of Saudi Arabia into emerging market equity indices. Market outlook further strengthened with announcements of 2017 Budget, NTP 2020 and Balanced Budget 2020 which highlighted key government measures to reform the economy, and brought clarity regarding future direction of government policies. Jadwa Saudi IPO Fund had a -3.12% cumulative return since inception (on 07 August 2016). In comparison, the Fund s benchmark achieved a total return of 6.53% during the same period. Moreover, since the fund s inception till year end, there were no initial public offerings in Saudi market that the fund could participate in.
