IRAQ AT A GLANCE
Iraq is generally perceived as a country with significant risks. What many do not appreciate is that it is becoming an oil superpower. What is even more exciting is that Iraq has an operational stock- market, with many potentially great equity investments available to investors.
- Has the world’s third-largest conventional oil reserves
- Expected to rival Russia and Saudi Arabia as the world’s largest oil exporters
- 35 million people, 70% of the population is below 30 years of age
- Iraq Stock Exchange (ISX) is emerging and offers attractive investments
- Expected to be the world’s second fastest growing economy over the next 10 years
FUND DESCRIPTION
The FMG Iraq Fund offers exposure to the frontier and resource rich soil of Iraq. Despite decades of turbulence, the country is in the middle of a massive oil production expansion which offers attractive growth opportunities in a nascent stock market. The investment objective is to achieve long term capital appreciation by investing in locally traded Iraqi stocks but also in companies that are closely associated with Iraq but traded on other markets.
The fund is actively managed, with FMG focusing on a fundamental approach backed up by a long term quantitative model. The frontier nature of the market should over time result in low correlation to global equity markets. FMG considers risk management and fund liquidity an integral element of the portfolio management process. The opportunistic nature of the fund targets investors with a higher risk-reward return profile.
