OM Albaraka Balanced comment - Sept 18
2018/12/13 00:00:00
President Cyril Ramaphosa did his best to address the nation with a brief outline of the economic stimulus package adopted by Cabinet and we immediately saw a strengthening in the rand. Trump continued his intense trade war on China. The Turkish lira collapsed and we saw the revived spectre of contagion for emerging markets at play. Inflation numbers were not as high as expected and the South African Reserve Bank decided to hold off a rate hike for now.
The FTSE/JSE All Share Index (ALSI) was down by 2.17% over the quarter ending September 2018. Large, mid- and small caps returned -2.72%, -1.74% and -2.22% respectively for the quarter.
The local currency weakened against the greenback by 3.06%, by 1.73% against the sterling and 2.36% against the euro for the quarter ending September 2018. The sector contributors for the quarter were technology and basic materials returning 10.43% and 5.22% respectively. The worst performing sectors for the quarter, down by 20.42% and 11.86%, were healthcare and telecommunications respectively.
This fund is suited to investors wanting moderate to high long-term growth from their Shari’ah compliant investment, with less volatility in the short term than pure equity. The fund is also suitable as a stand-alone retirement investment.
The fund’s offshore allocation is at approximately 25%, providing investors with significant diversification benefits. The fund is a Regulation 28 compliant, medium-equity allocation fund. This means that in terms of its mandate it can hold a maximum of 60% in equities. The fund’s allocation to equities is roughly 60%. Around 40% of the fund is invested in domestic equities and around 20% in offshore equities. Shari’ah compliant short-term cash investments now comprise 40% of the fund.
Our strategy is to achieve greater returns and less volatility compared to the market. Consequently, the fund has high exposure to internationals, allowing the fund to achieve greater diversification and, consequently, a reduction in volatility. Through time, equity has achieved greater returns than the other asset classes. Our high exposure to equities benefits from this and, similarly, within equities we are positioned to achieve lower volatility when compared to the fund’s benchmark.
The Old Mutual Albaraka Balanced Fund is a Shari'ah compliant asset allocation fund that offers investors access to local and international asset classes including equity, liquid assets and non-equity securities, such as sukuks (Islamic bonds) and equity conduits. The fund may also invest in the portfolios of other unit trusts, both locally and those registered in countries with acceptable regulatory environments.
The fund is regulation 28 compliant and is suitable for retirement fund investors.
