Investment Approach

The AMWAL MSCI Qatar Select Minimum Volatility Fund is designed to track the MSCI Qatar Domestic IMI Islamic Custom Minimum Volatility Index with the lowest tracking error possible. Events that prompt intervention include bi-annual rebalancing of the index, significant corporate actions on holdings, and Fund subscriptions and redemptions.

The Index targets the volatility factor using MSCI’s constrained proprietary Minimum Variance optimization designed to boost risk-adjusted returns. Tracking error is minimized through an optimized order placement process which attempts to align execution prices as close as possible to closing prices for rebalancing date. This is achieved through a distribution of order placement near end of session and during post-close market auction.
