Market Overview & Fund Manager Comments
DFM Index was down 1% in September, lagging behind MSCI emerging market index which was up by 2.5%.
Reduction of public sector wages was the key highlight of the month, resulting into sharp reaction in Saudi Tadawul Index while DFM Index showed mild softness. Latest banking data for August showed that Government Related Entities (GRE) deposits in the banking sector was down 4.1% in August and 17.4% YTD, while loan growth from GRE’s was up 7.1% YTD, further squeezing the liquidity in the banking system. The hospitality sector continues to face challenges due to stronger dollar, higher supply and increase in competition, resulting into lower average room rates across UAE hotels, down 9% y-o-y (as per STR), despite higher year-on- year passenger growth of 6% at Dubai airports.

Q3 corporate earnings will be keenly watched for any surprises. We expect banks to show contraction in NIMs mainly due to tighter liquidity conditions. Litigation of SAR 200 mn against Drake & Scull highlights wider challenges faced by construction sector, specially in Saudi Arabia. Real Estate sector is likely to show deceleration in growth due to tight liquidity conditions, especially in Abu Dhabi, where banks have turned cautious on mortgage loans.

Market Overview & Fund Manager Comments
Regional markets showed subdued performance in September led by Tadawul and Qatari Index, both down by 7% and 5%, respectively. Qatari Index was down due to profit booking post FTSE inclusion while Tadawul was down due to reduction in wages and allowances in public sector.
Oil price was up 6% in September due to speculation over potential agreement on oil production freeze/cut among the OPEC members to support oil prices. We see challenges in implementation of this accord as effective reinforcement of quotas will be a challenge to deal with. In Saudi Arabia, the construction sector continues to face challenges as cement sales was down 10% during the month, showing a drop in construction activity. In the UAE, we expect pick-up in momentum in the construction sector as tendering for Expo 2020-related projects has begun with Dubai Government seeking USD 2.5 bn loan to expand metro to Expo site. Qatar government issued USD 1.25 bn in local bonds to partially fund fiscal deficit and World Cup 2022-related projects. Egyptian government is planning to start IPO program of oil companies to reduce fiscal burden.

Al Mal Saudi Equity Fund – Monthly Factsheet
NAV Per Unit: USD 0.90
Al Mal Saudi Shariah Equity Fund was down 9.3% in September as compared to 9.0% drop in S&P Saudi Shariah Index. The Fund has outperformed the benchmark by 6.7% since its launch in march 2011.
Market Overview & Fund Manager Comments
Tadawul index was down 7.5% in September and 21% YTD, worst performing market in the region. Sell-off was across local equities after the announcement of reduction in public sector wages. While the move is positive for fiscal situation, market sentiments may turn bearish in the short-term. In addition to this, the US congress vote to override Obama veto on JASTA (allowing US citizens to file case against Saudi government over 9/11 attack) was also a major concern.
Markets seemed excited by SAR 20 bn deposits into local banks, however, the attempt was ineffective as demand for short-term loans far outpaced modest growth in deposits. The recent POS & ATM cash withdrawal data showed weaker consumption pattern indicating pressure on defensive sectors such as consumer discretionary and staples. The construction sector continues to remain under pressure with a 54% y-o-y drop in project awards.
Q3 corporate earnings will be keenly watched for any surprise. In the banking sector, contraction in NIMs, weak results from investment book and higher NPLs are likely to be key themes. The impact of wage reduction on consumption trend will be visible in November as banks will skip October EMIs.
The PMI for September was 55.3, down from 56.6 in August, due to combination of deceleration in pace of growth in domestic demand and slowing momentum in export orders.

| Market Overview & Fund Manager Comments Al Mal MENA Income Fund was down 0.2% in September. The Fund has delivered returns of 36.6% since its launch in February 2009. As expected, the primary market activity is back in action. Both Kuwait and Saudi Arabia were expected to print long-dated papers in September. However, strong market backlash of reduction in public sector wage bill in Saudi Arabia kept them from tapping the market. In the meantime, Bahrain raised USD 2 billion through 7-year and 12-year sukuks priced at 5.62% and 7%, respectively. Similarly Oman raised additional USD 2.5 billion through its EMTN programme. We expect both Saudi and Kuwait sovereign issues to hit the market before the Fed meeting in December. While the market has almost priced-in a Fed rate hike in December with probability of c.68%, we believe that hike may not be imminent immediately after the U.S. elections; first hike may happen only in 2017.
