Daman Speculator Fund posts a growth of 0.74% since July inception:
The Daman Speculator Fund, a trendsetting UAE-registered open-ended fund focused on the dynamic and vibrant nature of the UAE equity markets closed the month of August at a Net Asset Value (NAV) of Dhs100.74 per unit as of August 31st, 2008 registering a growth of 0.74% since inception in July 2008.
When asked about the overall market situation in the UAE and GCC as well as the recent events on Wall Street, Mr. Shehab Gargash, CEO of Daman Investments, said:
"These are certainly unusual times that no one could have foreseen. Naturally the UAE markets will be affected by international events of this kind - as are all other markets in the world. My belief is that we are well positioned to benefit from an eventual bounce back in the market as our economies are strong, and the region has liquidity that is seeking returns. Market forces driven by optimism and common sense will always prevail in such a situation."
