Established in 2010, Sedco Capital located in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) and regulated by Capital Market Authority ("CMA"), is one of the largest privately-owned asset managers in the GCC. SEDCO Capital is a member of the SEDCO Holding (Saudi Economic and Development Holding Company) group of companies which was founded in 1976 and is owned by one of Saudi Arabia’s most prominent families.

The Milltrust SEDCO MENA Fund is managed by Yazan Abdeen, one of the most experienced managers with over 13 years of experience in analysing and valuing companies in MENA region. Since joining SEDCO Capital from ING Investment Management Middle East as an in-house fund manager, he has made his mark at the Saudi asset manager and has frequently been recognised by MENA Fund Manager magazine as one of the most influential fund managers in the Middle East and North Africa.

Seasonal market liquidity exaggerated as fiscal liquidity is squeezed The defensive positioning of the fund has been a major catalyst for benchmark outperformance. The fund has lost 2.44% during August compared to the benchmark losing 3.25%. Market liquidity has severely dropped as the seasonal effect of summer, post Ramadan and pre Hajj vacations warrant less incremental buyers into markets. Except for Qatar (mainly being sparked by global indices inclusion to attract passive flow) there was no catalysts to spark investors sentiment during August. That has led to drastic stock movements downwards driven by macro negativity that didn’t find conviction. As we approach end of Q3, we expect to see increased market liquidity which should benefit certain oversold names. The fund is positioned defensively in stocks that in our opinion have higher level of earning certainty on the short to medium term.     Saudi: (-3.5%) (Sharia -4.41) • Saudi Arabia in its continuous efforts to increase foreign investment flow into the stock

market, the capital market authority will ease restrictions on foreign investment next month. Total required firm’s assets under management requirements will be reduced to a minimum of USD1bn of AUM globally to be qualified as a foreign institutional investor in Saudi Arabia, instead of the current minimum of USD5bn. Each foreign institutional investor will be allowed to own directly a stake of just under 10% of a single listed company, up from the current ceiling of 5%. Foreign investors will still be limited to own a combined 49% of any company. The Capital Market Authority, has included qualified foreign investors among the types of institutions allowed to bid in the initial public offerings.

• The Saudi government is raising up to SAR20bn (USD5.3bn) from banks in the sale of domestic bonds.  The government began the regular monthly sales in mid-2015 to help cover a budget deficit caused by low oil prices.

• Saudi Arabia's central bank governor reiterated that the kingdom was committed to keeping the Saudi Riyal pegged to the US dollar and that it had "sufficient tools" to support its fixed exchange rate policy. Net foreign assets at Saudi Arabia’s central bank fell to USD555bn in July, down USD6bn from the previous month, as the government drew on reserves to cover a budget deficit caused by low oil prices. Foreign assets shrank by 16% YoY to their lowest level since February 2012. They reached a record high of USD737bn in August 2014 before starting to fall.

  UAE: (DFM +0.6% , ADX -2.3%) (UAE Sharia -0.41) • Government decided to increase petrol prices in UAE in September. • Dubai’s inflation dropped to 2.1% YoY, while Abu Dhabi rose to 2.3%. • 2,400 new hotel rooms to be added in Abu Dhabi till the end of the year.   Qatar: (+3.6%) (Sharia 3.88) • Qatar continues to outperform as FTSE decision to include Qatar into its global indices

comes into effect. • The Qatar Central Bank posted a rise of 42.12% in its gold reserve to QAR3.05bn in H1

2016, versus QAR2.14mn in the same period of 2015. • Qatari banks’ loan-to-deposit ratio rose to 104% as further liquidity stress is pressuring the

banking sector. • Qatar’s trade surplus declined in July 2016 by 52.5% YoY and 18.8% MoM to QAR6.7bn as

the total exports fall by 30% YoY to QAR 16.3bn, while the total imports increased in July by only 4.4% YoY.

�  Kuwait: (-0.6%) (Sharia -0.66) • The lower oil prices have pushed the government into a rare budget deficit, ending 16

straight years of surpluses for the energy-rich Gulf state. The OPEC member recorded a budget shortfall of KWD4.6bn (USD15.3bn) in the latest fiscal year. Kuwait is projecting a higher deficit of USD28.9bn in the current fiscal year.

• The government will raise the price of gasoline by 42% starting September. •     Egypt: (+2.2%) (Sharia -7.09)   • Egypt’s fiscal enhancement is on track as The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) and the

International Monetary Fund (IMF) reached a staff-level agreement on a three-year Extended Fund Facility in the amount of USD12bn. Egypt has also asked JPMorgan, Citi, BNP Paribas and Natixis to lead its international bonds offer.  Meanwhile, the UAE has agreed to provide Egypt's central bank with USD1bn deposits for duration of six years, whereas an agreement was conducted with the World Bank to use just USD1bn to support the 9.8% budget deficit in FY2016/2017.

• Egypt's unemployment rate inched downwards to 12.5% in Q2 2016 from 12.7% in the quarter before, whereas the annual inflation was unchanged at 14% in July and core inflation edged down to 12.31% from 12.37% in June as the effects of this year's currency devaluation continued to feed through.

• Moody's Investors Service affirmed Egypt's long-term issuer and senior unsecured bond ratings at B3 and it said the outlook remains “stable” for the country.
