Watani Gulf Equity Fund

Watani Gulf Equity Fund


The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in equities of companies in the Gulf Cooperation Council. It will follow an active strategy of allocating its investments between the various markets in the GCC.

Allocation among the various markets in the GCC will contribute towards achieving this objective, along with investing in money market instruments such as deposits or equivalent in Islamic banks, sukuk or bonds issued or guaranteed by the governments of the GCC, either in Kuwaiti Dinars or any other foreign currency, and also with investing in other investment funds, based on the investment.

To help measure the success of the Fund, its performance will be measured against the S&P Custom GCC Composite LargeMidCap.
