Fund Profile
TCM Africa High DividendEquity (Lux)In June, the fund was 1% higher at the end of the month, while the benchmark index fell 0.5%. 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 winnerlast 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 lessvulnerable to the rapid spread of the coronavirus than many people fear, partly caused to their experiences with Ebola. Theycan quickly roll out many of the procedures and precautions they have taken against Ebola. In addition, the population in manyAfrican 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. Thegovernment has now lifted a number of restrictions, as companies adapted by firing staff and cutting salaries. The Egyptian PMIincreased rose from 40.7 in May to 44.6 in June. In addition, capital inflows into the country have resumed for the first timesince 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. Despitethis recovery, Nigerian banks have asked the central bank for permission to restructure its loan portfolios because of theeconomic 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 thatmeet the quality requirements. The weighting of a country is therefore mainly determined by the relative attractiveness of themarket compared to other countries.
The fund invests in listed African companies in the northern and sub-Sahara regions of Africa. The portfolio will havelimited exposure to the South African market. Many African countries can be regarded as a Frontier Market at an earlystage of economic development, with an attractive dividend yield. The fund primarily aims to generate a long-termreturn in excess of the benchmark, the MSCI Africa ex South Africa Total Return Net Index, comprising capital gains orlosses 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.
