The investment objective of the Sub-fund is to achieve medium-term capital growth. The Sub-fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by actively managing a diversified portfolio consisting of at least 70% of its net assets of debt securities (including credit linked notes up to 10% of its net assets) issued by governments, supranational institutions and/or governmental bodies, and/or Sharia-compliant companies. All investments will be validated by the Sharia Supervisory Committee within the Sharia guidelines and restrictions. The Sub-fund invests up to 100% of its net assets in debt securities and money market instruments with a sub-investment grade rating at the time of purchase. The Sub-fund may hold up to 20% of its net assets in cash, and invest up to 25% of its net assets in Sharia-compliant time deposits (including wakala placements) issued by first-class international banking institutions.
