Fund Strategy
The LHV Persian Gulf Fund invests primarily in listed equities in the Gulf Cooperation Council member states incl. Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.
The fund sees growth opportunities outside the energy sector, which is why it invests mainly in banking, insurance, infrastructure, communications, construction, power and water companies.
Why should you invest in the fund?
- The oil and natural gas reserves of the GCC countries are among the biggest in the world, guaranteeing a strong foreign trade balance and inflow of oil dollars. At least 45% of the world’s oil and 20% of natural gas is thought to be in GCC countries.
- The wealth generated by oil is invested in the development of other sectors (industry, trade, tourism) to reduce the region’s dependence on just one industry. Big public sector investments in their turn support rapid economic growth and development in the region.
- The population of GCC countries is over 40 million, but many companies of the region also sell their products and services in other countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), whose total population exceeds 400 million.
- GCC countries are liberal and heading in the direction of free market economy.
- The LHV Fund offers a unique opportunity to invest in the rapidly developing GCC region. No other opportunity like this can be found anywhere near us.
