In May, the Egyptian stock market was the biggest loser, but in June it was the biggest winner (5.0%). The Nigerian stock market was the biggest winner last month, but the biggest loser this month (-4.0%). In Morocco, with a 20% weighting in the fund, the stock market rose by 1%. Compared to other parts of the world, the number of corona cases in Africa is relatively low. African countries may be less vulnerable to the rapid spread of the coronavirus than many people fear, partly caused to their experiences with Ebola. They can quickly roll out many of the procedures and precautions they have taken against Ebola. In addition, the population in many African countries is relatively young and fewer people have overweight, making them less susceptible to the virus. The economic damage probably is past its worst in Egypt. Activity indicators deteriorated at a slower pace in June. The government has now lifted a number of restrictions, as companies adapted by firing staff and cutting salaries. The Egyptian PMI increased rose from 40.7 in May to 44.6 in June. In addition, capital inflows into the country have resumed for the first time since February, suggesting more confidence among investors. In Nigeria there are also signs of economic stabilization. Particularly the strong recovery in the oil price was positive. Despite this recovery, Nigerian banks have asked the central bank for permission to restructure its loan portfolios because of the economic impact. To further boost the economy, the Nigerian Senate has approved a $ 5.5 billion stimulus package. The fund currently holds positions in 30 stocks in 7 different countries. The countries with the largest weightings are Egypt (23.3%), Morocco (20.7%), and Nigeria (18.1%). These markets currently have the most interesting high dividend shares that meet the quality requirements. The weighting of a country is therefore mainly determined by the relative attractiveness of the market compared to other countries. The fund invests in listed African companies in the northern and sub-Sahara regions of Africa. The portfolio will have limited exposure to the South African market. Many African countries can be regarded as a Frontier Market at an early stage of economic development, with an attractive dividend yield. The fund primarily aims to generate a long-term return in excess of the benchmark, the MSCI Africa ex South Africa Total Return Net Index, comprising capital gains or losses plus net dividend. The equally weighted portfolio will be re-weighted and re-allocated on a periodically scale. The risk profile is high, due to investments in equities and Frontier Markets. 30 June 2020 Strategy: High Dividend Equity Universe: Africa Benchmark: Africa ex South Africa Index (Total Return) ESG: UN Global Compact and Controversial Weapons (screening by Sustainalytics) Status: UCITS Structure: Open-end Domicile: Luxembourg Inception Date: 24 May 2018 Currency: EUR Net Asset Value per share: Share Class A - 83.61 Total Fund size: 8.0 million Share Class sizes: Share Class A - 0.004 million Management Company: Novacap Asset Management S.A.
