Equity investment in a growing economy

Qatar Investment Fund (QIF) aims to generate long-term capital growth from a relatively concentrated portfolio of c 25 holdings. The majority of the fund is invested in companies listed in Qatar, but up to 15% may be listed in other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Qatar has favourable economic growth led by infrastructure spending and population growth, as the Qatari government actively moves away from its traditional reliance on hydrocarbon-based revenues. QIF is benchmarked against the Qatar Exchange index – its NAV total return has outperformed over one, three and five years.
