The partial shutdown of the US governmental services ended on the 17 October and the US debt ceiling was raised at the 11th hour. Rasmala reports that both these factors were positive for debt markets as the partial shutdown is expected to delay Fed QE tapering in 2013 and the temporary resolution of the debt ceiling enables markets to function normally. This led to a strong fund performance in October (+1.09 per cent).
The Global Sukuk Fund's duration remained broadly unchanged at 3.28 years (September 3.23 years) as did the weighted average yield to maturity of the Fund to 3.77 per cent (August 3.76 per cent). The Fund's weighted average credit rating remains unchanged at Baa2/BBB.
The Rasmala Global Sukuk Fund invests in a portfolio of Shari'ah-compliant assets comprised primarily of investment grade government, government related and corporate Sukuk and other similar Shari'ah-compliant financial instruments diversified by issuer, sector, geography and duration. The Fund is dynamically managed and targets both income and capital appreciation. The Fund expects to distribute semi-annual dividends around 30 June and 31 December.
The Fund retains its exposure to the high beta emerging market of Turkey which, despite the well-documented challenges facing the country, continues to offer an attractive risk adjusted return over the medium term.
