Fund Profile
TCM Africa High DividendEquity (Lux)During the last month of the year the African markets were mainly positive, which resulted in a return of 2.6% for the fund
compared to the benchmark return of 3%. South Africa had a positive month, where the JSE African all-share Index rose by 6%.Among the individual positions, Standard Chartered Bank in Ghana was the top gainer with a return of 38%. In 2019 Ghanabank shares were under pressure, but buying interest is coming back now that the shares trade at a historical low valuation. Itis also expected that economic growth in the country will pick up in 2020.
On a macroeconomic level, there was news from Nigeria, where the purchasing manager’s index rose to 60.8. Production in thecountry is growing rapidly. As a result, employment also continued to grow for the third month in a row. This growth isexpected to continue in 2020. According to the IMF, the economy in Nigeria can grow 2.4% this year, if oil revenues in particularshow stable growth. The IMF indicates that higher growth is possible, but then reforms must be implemented. This requiresmore investments in growth-driven sectors such as energy, agriculture, industry and telecom.The IMF was also positive about Morocco in December. The country has made significant progress in recent years instrengthening its economic resilience with the help of a conditional loan of $ 3 billion. Further reforms in education,government and the labour market will result in more sustainable and structural growth.
A new name has been added to the portfolio; Obour Land For Food Industries. The Egyptian company is specialized inproducing high-quality white cheese. The share is trading at 9.5x expected earnings and a dividend yield of 4.7%. The fundcurrently holds positions in 31 stocks in 7 different countries. The countries with the largest weightings are Egypt (25%), Nigeria(21.3%) and Kenya (19%). These markets currently have the most interesting high dividend shares that meet the qualityrequirements. The weighting of a country is therefore mainly determined by the relative attractiveness of the market comparedto other countries. Consequently, the composition of the fund can differ significantly from the benchmark index.
The fund invests in listed African companies in the northern and sub-Sahara regions of Africa. The portfolio will havelimited exposure to the South African market. Many African countries can be regarded as a Frontier Market at an earlystage of economic development, with an attractive dividend yield. The fund primarily aims to generate a long-termreturn in excess of the benchmark, the MSCI Africa ex South Africa Total Return Net Index, comprising capital gains orlosses plus net dividend. The equally weighted portfolio will be re-weighted and re-allocated on a periodically scale.The risk profile is high, due to investments in equities and Frontier Markets.
