TNI ASSET MANAGEMENT Investor Monthly Newsletter – November 2009
Performance and Strategy Review
Market Performance
The impact of Dubai’s turmoil on regional markets was absorbed only at the very end of the month and December will presumably make the situation clearer. The timing of the news was such that it preceded the Eid holidays in the region and thus most markets were closed. However as trading resumed on the last day of the month, regional markets
suffered significant losses.
Manager’s Comments
TNI MENA Special Sits It was the worst month since inception reflecting a worst case scenario (i.e. a call for investor standstill on Nakheel). The fund was down 7.4% of which 3% are directly attributed to Nakheel. Other bond holdings were affected by the widening of regional spreads and we witnessed a limited downside on the equity portfolio. Both bonds (Aldar convert, Qatar Petroleum) and equities have shown resilience on the downside and are well positioned
for a swift recovery. The fund has a 20% cash allocation that we intend to use for deep value equity calls by mid to end of year. TNI UAE Blue chip Fund During the month of November, TNI UAE Blue Chip Fund declined by 4.8%. The Dubai crisis had no effect on the performance of the fund for this month. The fund maintained its overweight on Dubai’s services and transportation sectors; and maintained a general underweight on the Real Estate Sector in the UAE. The fund’s cash position is around 2% TNI MENA REAF November was a challenging month for real estate companies however the impact of the Dubai crisis was limited to just one trading session in the UAE market. The effect on the benchmark was insignificant as Dubai accounts for 16% of the index.

MARKETS REVIEW November 2009
The MENA Equity Markets
The sell-off in the MENA region continued for the second month in a row with Kuwait leading the way. As per the official indices of MENA exchanges, most markets remain in strong positive territory on a YTD basis with the exception of Kuwait and Bahrain. The region and the world as a whole received an unexpected jolt when Dubai World announced that it will delay payments on its entities’ debts.
Turnover in regional markets fell significantly from the previous level with large markets like Saudi Arabia recording a fall in turnover of 32%. In the UAE, aggregate traded value for the month was US$ 3.9bn, compared to US$ 9.2bn in the previous month. Dubai continues to be well ahead of Abu Dhabi in terms of traded value and number of transactions. During October total number of trades in the UAE were just over 287,000. This number dropped to below 152,000 in November.
In Saudi Arabia, the exchange saw a total of 2.8m transactions during October however November’s figure was just 1.9m. Similarly aggregate traded value was US$ 30.4b in October and it fell to just under US$ 21bn in November. Kuwait has had a terrible year so far and continued its slide during the month of November.
The slowdown in liquidity across markets is partly attributable to the holiday season and partly because of the aftermath of a positive rally amid high volumes. Confidence in economies like Qatar and Abu Dhabi is stable despite Dubai’s stumble during November. In 2010, the Middle East is expected to register economic growth rate of 4.2% according to the IMF. The same institution expects Qatar to grow by an astounding 18.5%. In terms of liquidity and market capitalization however, the Qatari and Omani markets are very small. Saudi Arabia accounted for nearly 68% of the GCC’s turnover during the month of November.

TOPIC OF THE MONTH November 2009
The world eyes Dubai
Dubai’s announcement of a “standstill” related to obligations of Dubai World on November 25 sent shockwaves through global capital markets. The effects ranged from sharp correction in equity prices to inflated credit default swaps. The most immediate impact would be on the payment of Nakheel’s obligations, the first of which is due on December 14. Nakheel is one of the largest real estate companies in the region and is responsible for the palm-shaped islands that have become the identity of Dubai. Firstly, the total amount that needs to be restructured is US$ 26bn, a drop in the ocean when compared to the losses from the financial crisis but a significant amount for a GCC corporate. Secondly this debt is one step removed from a sovereign status as obligations of Dubai World are not guaranteed by the Dubai Government. Third and last, the UAE Central Bank has made it clear that impact on the national economy and the banking system will be avoided. There has been much confusion about whether this debt should be classified as sovereign or not. Whatever the case, the amount does not represent a prohibitive liability for an economy of the size of the UAE. Dubai World has hinted at potential restructuring of debt amounting to US$ 26bn. Incidentally this number is equal to the 2007 fiscal surplus of Abu Dhabi; presumably the 2008 balance was significantly higher due to the higher commodity prices. However the statistics for 2008 are currently not available. The Central Bank of the UAE has made it absolutely clear that it stands behind lenders and has even offered additional financing facilities, should the need arise for it. In terms of impact on UAE listed companies, we feel the banking sector is likely to suffer somewhat irrespective of the outcome. We may see rising provisions and deteriorating asset quality in the immediate future. This would not be a good addition to the balance sheets of commercial banks already reeling from the global financial crisis and the Saudi conglomerate issues earlier this year. Regardless of the impact on the banking sector, there are fundamentally strong companies in the region with promising prospects. In a time when leverage is threatening the capital markets and the overall economy, we feel it is best to steer clear of leverage and focus on debt-averse balance sheets. The region offers many possibilities in the unleveraged domain with strong, positive cash flows and high dividend yields. Moreover, the major players of the banking sector of Qatar have made it absolutely clear that they do not have any exposure to Dubai World or its entities. The Qatari Government stepped in the banking sector in March of this year to buy equity investments from the banks’ balance sheets and new shares were issued to the QIA. Since then, the sector has shown remarkable resilience with relatively little pressure on spreads and asset quality. We believe that unlike developed economies like Japan, which have leveraged themselves out of the recession, the UAE remains stable and cash-rich. External debt stands at just 38% of GDP while Japan has leveraged itself more than two times its domestic product. The diversification efforts of the UAE government are reaping fruit in the form of bilateral ties across the world with companies like GE and Daimler. After taking a beating earlier in 2009, oil prices reacted modestly to the Dubai situation, and have generally been on an upward trend. Unlike the last sovereign defaults in recent history, the UAE does not have currency-related monetary policy issues or an overleveraged economy. Furthermore, our view is that the markets have clearly priced in the situation and under the postulation that Abu Dhabi does come to Dubai’s aid, the situation is far from catastrophic. In all restructuring stories, there may be losers but with federal power vested in cash-rich Abu Dhabi, Dubai World’s issues are those of short-term cash management rather than categorical insolvency. Contagion across the region is expected to be limited as we do not see any direct impact on key sectors like energy and telecommunication. The region may have some trouble brewing in Dubai but it boasts current account balances of over 14% and it is also home to the fastest growing economy in the world, Qatar. Presented below is the maturity profile of Dubai’s debt as summarized by S&P:
Period Amount in USD million

TNI UAE BLUE CHIP FUND Fact Sheet as of November 26, 2009
Fund Profile
Focus: Although the fund may participate in markets throughout the Gulf Cooperative
Countries (‘GCC’), its investments will be primarily focused on publicly traded equities of UAE
firms with large capitalization, which present a steady and recurrent track record of earnings
growth and have a potential for capital appreciation.
Management Style: The key investment criteria are the company’s financial strengths,
competitiveness, profitability, growth prospects and quality of management. The allocation
will be based on fundamental research and will incorporate a blend of top-down and a
bottom-up analytical approach.
Objective: The fund aims to provide long-term capital appreciation through investing in
equity securities publicly traded, primarily in the UAE, and, to a lesser extent, in other GCC
markets.
Suitability: Units of the Fund are speculative and involve a high degree of risk. The Fund is
therefore designed for sophisticated investors who are able to understand the risks involved
in emerging markets’ equity investments, particularly in the GCC equities.
