Fund Profile
In November the share price of the fund has increased by 0.42%. The benchmark index rose by 0.23% over the same period,both measured in euro and based on total return.With only one month to go, it seems the fund will close with an outperformance this year. Since the start of the year, the shareprice of the fund has increased by 18.57% while the benchmark index increased by 7.94%.In the past month we took some profit in Safaricom in Kenya, as the share gained too much weight in the portfolio while thedividend yield declined. Furthermore, Ciments du Maroc has been sold because the share no longer meets our (dividend)selection criteria. Instead we bought Uba and Access in Nigeria. Both banks only note 5 times the profit with a dividend yieldof around 6%.In addition, we also bought Lucara Diamond. Despite the fact that the share is listed in Canada, the company is active inBotswana and Lesotho. The price of this diamond producer has dropped by more than 30% in one year, but has becomepurchasable on the basis of our selection model. The share is quoted at a p/e of 9.2 with a dividend yield of 4.26%. RecentlyLucara sold the largest diamond in the world for 45 million euro. There are only 6 analysts who follow the company, but theyall give a "buy" with an average price target of $ 3.45. The price is now around $ 2.35.The fund currently holds positions in 34 shares across 8 different countries. The countries with the largest weightings are nowEgypt (33.73%), Nigeria (25.44%), Morocco (11.88%) and Kenya (10.96%). These markets currently have the most interestinghigh dividend stocks that meet the quality requirements. The weighting of a country is therefore mainly determined by therelative attractiveness of the market relative to the other countries. The fund can therefore deviate significantly from thebenchmark. Among the strongest rises in portfolio in the past month were Standard Chartered Bank (+ 16.84%) in Ghana andElswedy Electric (+ 15.86%) in Egypt. In addition, in Kenya Equity Group Holdings (+ 10.63%) was the biggest riser. Among thelosers were Douja Prom Addoha (-13.48%) in Morocco and Misr Cement (-17.91%) in Egypt, all measured in euro and based ontotal return.
The fund is an equity fund, investing in listed shares in the northern and sub-Sahara regions of Africa. Initially it willfocus on Egypt, Morocco and Nigeria. In addition, it will invest in Kenya, Ghana, Botswana and Mauritius. In principle,its portfolio will have limited exposure to South Africa. The relationship between global financial markets and Africanmarkets is low, because the latter are less sensitive to international developments. The investment policy of the fundwill be aimed at achieving capital growth as well as dividend pay outs. The risk profile is very high, due to investmentsbeing channelled into frontier/emerging markets in Africa.
Trading:The fund is listed on Euronext, whichmeans that the fund can be traded ontrading days through any bank orbroker. On trading days the fund willsell shares against NAV with a positivedeviation of 1% and buy back againstNAV with negative deviation of 1%.
