Asset Management
Al Mal Equity Funds – Investment Process
We believe in prevailing themes and investments that capture good long term company fundamentals, and buying
growth at a reasonable price.
Our investment process begins by identifying long term themes and high quality company shares, then further qualify
candidates using our screening criteria which focus on profitability, growth, valuation and liquidity.
A thorough examination of companies’ financials and analysis of durable business opportunities and competitive forces
is undertaken, followed by ongoing meetings with company management.
The Fund Manager and the Investment Committee review regularly the portfolio’s relative performance, target prices,
stock and sector selection as well as any rebalancing which may be needed.
