Asian markets have been particularly stimulating in the past few years.

Driven by rapid corporate restructuring and the emergence of China as the world’s fourth largest economy, the local stock markets have witnessed both strong growth and volatility.

Our well-tested-strategy - developed together with our strategic partners - is to seek capital appreciation by initially investing actively in equities of East Asian companies. Our portfolio is constructed prudently and seeks to emphasize those sectors which demonstrate a combination of exceptional growth and low relative valuations, whilst providing weighted exposures to all regional equity markets.

Our target markets include, but are not limited to:

• Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan and China including Hong Kong and recently South Korea, with Ajia Partners (Hong Kong) Ltd.
• Japan, with DLIBJ Asset Management International Ltd. and the Mizuho Financial Group Inc.

Our added value: Faisal Private Bank initiated one of the most tested Islamic funds centred on small cap Asian equities: the ADIL ISLAMIC ASIA FUND, as well as one of the first Islamic funds entirely centred on Japan: the MIDDLE EASTERN FUND FOR JAPANESE EQUITIES LIMITED. To date, these funds have outperformed the average tendencies of region specific indices.
