Investment Strategy







The holding of international currency balances and other liquid assets is more or less forced upon many institutions and corporations in the Muslim world. Some attempt should therefore be made to hold such balances in the form of appreciating currencies and commodities. The Market Eye portfolio is constructed with this aim in mind, using qualitative and quantitative assessments of economic and financial market indicators in the developed economies to guide the portfolio selection. The performance target is a mean annual real return of 10% (measured against the UK GDP deflator) with an annualised standard deviation of 15%.









Investment Criteria


Activity
Acceptability






Short selling
No. Only assets that are in the ownership of the fund can be sold, and no repurchase agreements or other asset borrowing facilities are used.

Margin trading
No. Either full payment of price occurs up-front, or full countervalue is delivered up-front. Forward settlement of both countervalues cannot be contracted.

Financial leverage
No. Neither interest-based nor interest-free loan financing of the fund position is allowed. Therefore the fund cannot have a negative net asset value under normal circumstances.

Use of derivative products
No. The fund cannot contract positions in financial futures, options, swaps or other contingent liabilities. Forward sales and purchases are allowed in commodity markets where full payment or delivery up-front is made for one of the countervalues. In currency trading, only spot transactions are allowed.

Fixed income investment
No. All instruments of an interest-bearing nature, whether fixed or floating, are excluded from the portfolio.

Equity investment
No. Whilst some equity securities may be acceptable under Shari`ah (for example where the underlying business avoids haram products and the company's financing and investment activities do not encompass interest-based contracts), Market Eye does not seek exposure to this asset class.

Currency trading
Yes, where both currencies are exchanged on the spot market and where interest receivable on deposits of currency balances is not retained for commercial purposes.

Commodity trading
Yes, where one or both of the commodity and sale/purchase price are exchanged for spot settlement.
