| Fund Manager Commentary Al Mal UAE Equity Fund was down 0.4% in June v/s. 1.7% Increase in S&P UAE Index. Since inception, the Fund has outperformed the benchmark by 62.3%. While DFM Index was flat in June, Abu Dhabi Index was up 5%, outperforming the MSCI Emerging Market Index, which increased by c.3%. The rally in June was primarily driven by the performance of banking sector stocks after the announcement of merger between NBAD and FGB to form the biggest bank in the region with USD 175 bn in assets. The news led to spike in stock price of some other banks as well, owing to speculation of further consolidation in the sector. Dubai airport passenger traffic grew to 6.72 mn, up 7% month-on-month, a very encouraging sign given the off-peak season. We expect Q22016 numbers for UAE corporates to be mixed. We expect hospitality sector to report relatively good set of numbers due to busy tourism activity in Q2, despite seasonal slowdown. Banking sector is expected to show divergence in reported numbers as we expect some banks to increase impairments while a few banks are likely to see reversal of impairments. The UAE PMI decreased to 53.4 in June vs 54.0 in May, still pointing towards growth, but slightly lower than the May, which was eight-month high.

Al Mal MENA Equity Fund was down 1.4% in June v/s. 0.9% decrease in the S&P Pan Arab Index. The Fund has outperformed the benchmark by 25% since its launch in June 2008. While the Brexit theme dominated global markets late June, the regional markets were majorly driven by domestic factors, as most of them recovered after the initial shock. In order to achieve cost and revenue synergies, a wave of consolidation has kicked-off in the UAE with merger announcement of FGB and NBAD and a possible merger of Mubadala and IPIC. In Saudi Arabia, the inter-bank rates moderated, pointing towards an improvement in liquidity. Q2 2016 earnings for real estate sector is expected to be muted due to uncertainty over white lands tax, while banking sector would likely show some contraction in NIMs due to the higher cost of funds. Egypt’s current account deficit widened, increasing chances of further devaluation in near future. In Qatar, withdrawal of deposits by the government further squeezed the liquidity conditions with current loans-to-deposit ratio soaring to 132% vs 130% in last month. KSA and UAE PMI data points suggests continued growth in non-oil sectors, while Egypt PMI was marginally down to 47.5 v/s. 47.6 in May, still showing contraction in the economy.

Al Mal Saudi Shariah Equity Fund– Monthly Factsheet
29 June 2016
==> picture [156 x 53] intentionally omitted <==
NAV Per Unit: USD 1.07
Fund Manager Commentary
Al Mal Saudi Shariah Equity Fund was down 0.1% in June as compared to flat S&P Saudi Shariah Index. The Fund has outperformed the benchmark by 10.6% since its launch in march 2011.
The Tadawul index was up 0.7% in June, deviating from the regional markets, which were majorly driven by domestic events. After a sizeable decline over prolonged period, the foreign reserves in Saudi Arabia were marginally up in June, largely due to USD 10 bn bonds issued by the government. The Saudi inter-bank rates moderated, pointing towards an improvement in liquidity conditions. The Government’s decision to award Pfizer and 3M a direct investment license to operate in the kingdom, and allowing 100% foreign ownership in retail segment is a step in right direction, and shows commitment from the government to implement the National Transformation plan. Liquidity in the banking sector appears to be stretched at c.90% as total deposits declined by 3.4% year-on-year, while the loans grew at 9.5% year-on-year, possibly due to higher working capital requirement by corporates due to slower payment by government. Spending on infrastructure by the government, albeit at a much slower pace, combined with the introduction of white land tax, is likely to spur growth in the construction sector (in the long-term); the sector continues to witness challenging outlook due to stalled projects and slower payment schedule by the government.
The PMI for June was 54.4, slightly down from 54.8 in May, reflecting stable growth in non-oil economy.

| Fund Manager Commentary Al Mal MENA Income Fund was up 0.50% in June. The Fund has delivered returns of 35.7% since its launch in February 2009. June was full of surprises on all fronts. Extremely weak U.S. employment report for May, which showed that the data was weakest in six years, raised renewed concerns over the health of the U.S. economy. Consequently, the Fed meeting, which was held prior to the UK referendum for Brexit, came out with a unanimous vote of not raising interest rates in July. Thereafter, the U.K. announced that it would exit the EU, shocking the financial markets as consensus had not factored-in Brexit. Post the Brexit vote, there was a speculation that the Fed might even reduce rates due to uncertainty on level of impact Brexit could potentially have on the U.S. economy. All these fears were put to rest when June employment data came out better than expected. The primary market wasn’t that active compared to last month. The secondary market, however, saw lot of action on duration pick-up trades as consensus do not expect any rate hike this year.
