Jadwa Investment has received approval from the Saudi Arabian Capital Market Authority to launch the Jadwa Africa Equity Freestyle Fund. The African continent provides some very exciting opportunities. A specialist international asset management team will be in charge of managing the fund. A number of African markets have provided some of the world's strongest returns over the past three years, despite being perceived as historically too risky. Investors may be surprise to know that several African markets outperformed the major world indices during this period. Today much of Africa has undergone considerable change, and now offers investors the opportunity to invest in a growing universe of attractively valued companies. Africa is widely perceived as poor and inefficient. But the best investment opportunities lie where perception differs from reality - where things are not as bad as they seem. Africa fits to that statement perfectly. Ahmed Al-Khateeb, managing director & CEO of Jadwa Investment, said “at Jadwa Investment, we have a professional team which employs its investment skills and experience to serve our clients. The team puts in strong efforts to discover the best investment opportunities, develop and offer them to our clients aiming to enhance their investment performance."
