TNI UAE BLUE CHIP FUNDFact Sheet as of June 30, 2011

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.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW March 2013

Market Performance

March witnessed a quiet month in terms of volatility and liquidity. The S&P Pan Arab Composite remained flat during the period. The Saudi market, the biggest and most liquid one in the region slightly outperformed the index; the market gained 2.2%. The Egyptian market has been penalized amid the recent political events; the market lost 4.1% during the period. UAE markets took a breather after a very strong rally during the first two months of 2013. Year-to-date UAE is up 17.1%. Price of oil has lost some ground; the Brent quality closed the period at US$ 110.02 per bbl, down 1.2% over the period.

Manager’s Comments

TNI UAE Blue Chip Fund

The UAE markets took a breather in March as retail investors booked profits after a very strong start to the year. Valuations overall are still attractive backed by very strong economic macro picture, which makes the UAE one of the most attractive markets in the region. During March, the Fund Manager increased the cash allocation to 5.1% and maintained exposure to other GCC markets to 2.6%. TNI UAE Blue Chip Fund is up 19.4% year-to-date.

TNI MENA Special Situations Fund

The Fund increased by 1.1% in March. On the fixed income side we increased the portfolio’s duration and we added two names, the new DIB perpetual issue and the Iraqi Eurobond 28. We made some arbitrages on the equity side. We booked our profits in the UAE and we took some positions in Saudi Arabia.

S&P Pan Arab Composite- S&P GCC Composite Index

MENA UCITS Fund

TNI MENA UCITS Fund was up 1.1% in March, outperforming its benchmark S&P Pan Arab 5/10/40 Capped Index by 1.2%. The outperformance was driven by Industrial and Banking sectors. During the month of March, the Fund Manager reduced the cash position to 3.5%. On a country level, Saudi continued to be the most prefered country. The least preferred counties remained Kuwait and Bahrain.

MARKETS REVIEW

March 2013

The MENA Equity Markets The UAE Central Bank gave its initial approval to a proposal by banks to allow a loan-to-value ratio of 75% for expatriates and 80% for citizens for their first property. Loan-to-value ratio for second properties would be 60% for expatriates and 65% for citizens. Passenger traffic at Dubai's main airport surpassed 5 million in February, rising 11.4% YoY. Year-to-date traffic was up 13.0% to 10.6 million passengers.

Qatar is pressing ahead with its massive transport infrastructure programmes, with US$ 17billion worth of projects still to be offered. Qatar's Public Works Authority has lined up 30 highway projects in 2013. As of February, a total of US$ 1.88billion worth of projects have already been awarded.

The Kuwait government is taking necessary steps to reduce the number of expatriates in Kuwait by 100,000 every year. The country is looking to bring down the number of expatriates in Kuwait to 1 million in 10 years from about 2.6 million. Currently expats cosntitutes about 68% of the total population. Kuwait is taking these steps as part of effort to regulate the labor market.

Egypt's foreign currency reserves did not decline significantly in March from US$ 13.5billion at end of February. However, the current reserves are not enough to cover even three months of imports. The country is plagued by repeated power cuts as it does not have money to buy enough fuel. Egypt is also seeking payment facilities from American and European wheat suppliers.

UAE banks are taking advantage of falling CDS spreads and increasing liquidity to raise money through Sukuks and bonds for repaying the government debt which they received to enhance balance sheet liquidity in the aftermath of financial crisis. Emirates NBD priced a US$ 750million subordinated bond at 4.88%, tighter than initial guidance. Dubai Islamic Bank issued US$ 1billion Tier 1 hybrid perpeptual Sukuk at a profit rate of 6.25% which was substantially tighter than the initial price talk of 7%.

TOPIC OF THE MONTH March 2013

GCC Banking Sector Outlook The gradual re-acceleration of economic activity in US, China and other emerging markets is positive for the oil demand and would help oil exporting GCC countries to maintain their fiscal surpluses and strong GDP growth, and keep up with increasing infrastructure spending. Based on IMF data we estimate region’s GDP to grow annually at average 4% during 2013-2015 compared to global GDP growth of 3.4% during the same period. Infrastructure and construction project pipeline across GCC stands at US$ 581billion, up 18% over the last six months, based on Meed projects database, with Saudi being the top project market accounting for 39.6% of the total pipeline. This growing project pipeline will create increasing credit and project financing demand from both corporate and government entities. In 2013, while banks in Qatar, Saudi and Oman would continue to benefit from strong government spending, Kuwait and UAE banks would witness decreasing incremental non-performing loan (NPL) formation after facing significant asset quality issues and managing their balance sheets over the last four years.

Saudi banking index year-to-date is up only 2.9% and has underperformed Tadawul index by 2.4% as investor sentiment turned cautious on the banks post spike in provisioning costs during 3Q2012 tied to financial difficulties at a few major corporate houses. Increasing competition also caused sector net interest margins (NIMs) to contract by 16bps in 2012. Although we expect NIMs to remain under pressure, earning would still witness a moderate growth as provisioning costs should normalize on account of overall corporate profitability remaining healthy, and loan growth momentum would continue owing to accelerating corporate loan growth and retail lending remaining strong. Asset quality indicators continue to improve with incremental NPL formation slowing after a spike in 2009, and average NPL coverage reaching to a comfortable level of 145% for the sector. Valuations are at undemanding level after a strong de-rating as Saudi banks currently trade at lowest trailing PB of 1.8x over the last eight years. Saudi banks valuation premium to GCC banks has also contracted significantly to 12% compared to last eight-year median of 30%

Most of the UAE banks distributed solid cash dividends during 2012 with average payout ratio of about 50%, and dividend yield of above 6%. A greater willingness to distribute profits signals towards declining asset quality concerns and banks reaching closer to the desired provisioning levels. UAE banks are the best capitalised in the region with average capital adequacy ratio (CAR) of 21.5%. Loan growth in UAE would remain well below most of the other GCC countries. However, we expect Dubai banks to witness a better loan growth than Abu Dhabi banks in 2013 owing to a strong recovery in Dubai economy and real estate sector. Dubai banks would also benefit from normalisation in provisioning costs. Although Abu Dhabi has earmarked US$ 90billion to be spent on development projects over the next five years, we expect Abu Dhabi banks to benefit from this spending mainly from next year.

Qatar banking sector is witnessing the highest loan growth (26% YoY in 2012) in the region mainly driven by significant public sector spending on infrastructure, but persistent pressure on NIMs and fees poses a challenge. We expect QNB to continue to benefit from this strong loan growth as its loan book is highly levered to the public sector and it has the excess capital (expected CAR of 16.5% post NSGB acquisition) and adequate capital generation capacity to sustain such a lending growth. Doha Bank and CBQ are looking to raise further capital which would be ROE and EPS dilutive in the near term. They will benefit from pickup in private sector loan demand linked mainly to FIFA World Cup projects. However, we expect this project activity to gain momentum only in 2014.

Kuwait banking sector loan growth remained subdued in 2012, up 5% YoY mainly driven by retail loan growth of 12%, due to a lack of investment activity as hardly any of the projects included in US$ 107billion investment program materialised. The newly elected more pro-government parliament might expedite government spending, however, it will be overly optimistic to expect a double digit lending growth in 2013 due to the poor project implementation track record and bureaucracy issues. Blue chip names such as NBK could benefit from some pickup in the corporate demand, decline in NPL formation and stimulation of the market from government equity funds. Burgan Bank offers the strongest loan growth momentum supported by its Turkish subsidiary, expanding domestic market share and liquidity inflow from its captive client base (KIPCO Group subsidiaries)

Loan growth outlook for Oman banking sector remains optimistic driven by corporate demand and government infrastructure spending. However, loan growth would be lower than 2012 (14.4% YoY) as some of the banks will see constrained growth due to new retail regulations capping personal lending to 50% of total loans and reducing interest rate ceiling to 7% per annum. Bank Muscat is relatively comfortable in this respect, with 56% of its loan book being geared to the corporate sector. Conventional banks also run a risk of market share erosion and margin compression due to the expected competition from two newly launched Islamic banks.

TOPIC OF THE MONTH March 2013

GCC Banking Sector Outlook The gradual re-acceleration of economic activity in US, China and other emerging markets is positive for the oil demand and would help oil exporting GCC countries to maintain their fiscal surpluses and strong GDP growth, and keep up with increasing infrastructure spending. Based on IMF data we estimate region’s GDP to grow annually at average 4% during 2013-2015 compared to global GDP growth of 3.4% during the same period. Infrastructure and construction project pipeline across GCC stands at US$ 581billion, up 18% over the last six months, based on Meed projects database, with Saudi being the top project market accounting for 39.6% of the total pipeline. This growing project pipeline will create increasing credit and project financing demand from both corporate and government entities. In 2013, while banks in Qatar, Saudi and Oman would continue to benefit from strong government spending, Kuwait and UAE banks would witness decreasing incremental non-performing loan (NPL) formation after facing significant asset quality issues and managing their balance sheets over the last four years.

Saudi banking index year-to-date is up only 2.9% and has underperformed Tadawul index by 2.4% as investor sentiment turned cautious on the banks post spike in provisioning costs during 3Q2012 tied to financial difficulties at a few major corporate houses. Increasing competition also caused sector net interest margins (NIMs) to contract by 16bps in 2012. Although we expect NIMs to remain under pressure, earning would still witness a moderate growth as provisioning costs should normalize on account of overall corporate profitability remaining healthy, and loan growth momentum would continue owing to accelerating corporate loan growth and retail lending remaining strong. Asset quality indicators continue to improve with incremental NPL formation slowing after a spike in 2009, and average NPL coverage reaching to a comfortable level of 145% for the sector. Valuations are at undemanding level after a strong de-rating as Saudi banks currently trade at lowest trailing PB of 1.8x over the last eight years. Saudi banks valuation premium to GCC banks has also contracted significantly to 12% compared to last eight-year median of 30%

Most of the UAE banks distributed solid cash dividends during 2012 with average payout ratio of about 50%, and dividend yield of above 6%. A greater willingness to distribute profits signals towards declining asset quality concerns and banks reaching closer to the desired provisioning levels. UAE banks are the best capitalised in the region with average capital adequacy ratio (CAR) of 21.5%. Loan growth in UAE would remain well below most of the other GCC countries. However, we expect Dubai banks to witness a better loan growth than Abu Dhabi banks in 2013 owing to a strong recovery in Dubai economy and real estate sector. Dubai banks would also benefit from normalisation in provisioning costs. Although Abu Dhabi has earmarked US$ 90billion to be spent on development projects over the next five years, we expect Abu Dhabi banks to benefit from this spending mainly from next year.

Qatar banking sector is witnessing the highest loan growth (26% YoY in 2012) in the region mainly driven by significant public sector spending on infrastructure, but persistent pressure on NIMs and fees poses a challenge. We expect QNB to continue to benefit from this strong loan growth as its loan book is highly levered to the public sector and it has the excess capital (expected CAR of 16.5% post NSGB acquisition) and adequate capital generation capacity to sustain such a lending growth. Doha Bank and CBQ are looking to raise further capital which would be ROE and EPS dilutive in the near term. They will benefit from pickup in private sector loan demand linked mainly to FIFA World Cup projects. However, we expect this project activity to gain momentum only in 2014.

Kuwait banking sector loan growth remained subdued in 2012, up 5% YoY mainly driven by retail loan growth of 12%, due to a lack of investment activity as hardly any of the projects included in US$ 107billion investment program materialised. The newly elected more pro-government parliament might expedite government spending, however, it will be overly optimistic to expect a double digit lending growth in 2013 due to the poor project implementation track record and bureaucracy issues. Blue chip names such as NBK could benefit from some pickup in the corporate demand, decline in NPL formation and stimulation of the market from government equity funds. Burgan Bank offers the strongest loan growth momentum supported by its Turkish subsidiary, expanding domestic market share and liquidity inflow from its captive client base (KIPCO Group subsidiaries)

Loan growth outlook for Oman banking sector remains optimistic driven by corporate demand and government infrastructure spending. However, loan growth would be lower than 2012 (14.4% YoY) as some of the banks will see constrained growth due to new retail regulations capping personal lending to 50% of total loans and reducing interest rate ceiling to 7% per annum. Bank Muscat is relatively comfortable in this respect, with 56% of its loan book being geared to the corporate sector. Conventional banks also run a risk of market share erosion and margin compression due to the expected competition from two newly launched Islamic banks.

TNI UAE BLUE CHIP FUND Fact Sheet as of August 30, 2012

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.

TNI UAE BLUE CHIP FUND Fact Sheet as of March 28, 2013

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.

TNI UAE BLUE CHIP FUNDFact Sheet as of June 30, 2011

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.

TNI UAE BLUE CHIP FUNDFact Sheet as of June 30, 2011

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.
