FSF finished the month of December up 0.2893% and returned 2.88% YTD net of all fees for its investors. The month of December was another month of high volatility where the MSCI World Islamic Index dropped by 5% in the beginning to recover most of the losses in the last 10 days of the month. The Investment Manager realised gains by selling some of its equity position intra-month in addition to the income it generated from the Sukuks, Alternatives & Real Estate assets. The investment manager intends to continue to be nimble and flexible in the public markets as uncertainty still remains in the market and economy.
