Ashmore Investment Saudi Arabia announces developments on Ashmore GCC Diversified Trade Fund

Ashmore Investment Saudi Arabia (the “Fund manager”) hereby announces details of certain developments related to the Ashmore GCC Diversified Trade Fund (the “Fund”) which became effective as of 21 May 2020 (corresponding to 28/9/1441H).

As part of its investment strategy, the Fund indirectly acquired  economic exposure to Sukuk certificates which comprise 7.86% of the Fund’s net asset value as of 20 May 2020 (corresponding to 27/9/1441H).

On 21 May 2020 (corresponding to 28/9/1441H), the Fund Manager was advised by its agent that the issuer of the Sukuk defaulted on its payment obligations towards the Fund. Although the losses resulting from the abovementioned default are unrealized to date since the Sukuk have not been disposed of, the Fund Manager expects that such default will have a negative impact on the value of the Fund’s net asset value and return to unitholders.

Considering the abovementioned default and given the Fund Manager’s duties to unitholders to accurately reflect the value of the Sukuk, the Fund Manager decided, with effect from 21 May 2020 (corresponding to 28/9/1441H), to change the valuation method applicable to the Sukuk certificates so that they are valued based on market value as opposed to their value when initially acquired. The Fund Manager obtained the approval of the Fund’s board of directors on the aforementioned changes.

The Fund Manager will continue to make the relevant disclosures and act in the best interests of unitholders as required under the applicable regulations.
