The GCC Equity markets have seen a good turn-around, due to increased regional investment liquidity and a global interest in local investment. The liberalizing and growing GCC economies with zero inflation, vast current account surpluses, pegged currencies and low interest rates-provide a sustainable long term investment opportunity. This fund strives to provide gains during volatile times from the stable opportunities that are present within the GCC region.

Investment Objective
To provide medium to long-term capital growth through the investment in prime GCC equities.

Investment Strategy
The TAIB GCC Blue Chip Fund focuses on providing investors with a diversified and stable investment portfolio. The Fund has a two -pronged approach to asset allocation. Sector and asset class exposure is determined from the 'top-down', based on on-going analysis of global and local macro-economic conditions, while investment selection for the Fund is determined from the 'bottom-up', by evaluating quantitative and qualitative factors relating to individual stocks.
