Financial results

Rasmala delivered an improved performance in the period up to 30 June 2018 from H1 2017.

Total operating income for the six months to 30 June 2018 was GBP4.6m (H1 2017: GBP5.1m). Total expenses for the six months were down 20% compared to the same period last year to GBP5.1m (H1 2017: GBP6.4m). The resulting Operating loss for the six months was GBP0.6m (H1 2017: GBP1.2m).

Our performance in the first six months is the result of continuing confidence from our investors in our diversified product offering and maintaining strong cost control.

Our balance sheet remains strong, both in terms of capital and liquidity which we use to support investments made throughout the Group.

Commentary

In the second half of 2018 there are a number of potential risks around the world including the ongoing trade war between the US and China, a strengthening US dollar which is negatively impacting emerging market economies, rising inflationary pressures in developed economies, tightening global liquidity and ongoing global and regional geopolitical uncertainties.

Regional markets

In Q2 there were two major announcements in relation to the Saudi Arabian equity market. The FTSE and MSCI decided to include Saudi Arabia as part of their Emerging Market Indices with an estimated weight of 2.7% and 2.6% respectively. This move is expected to attract total flows of approximately US$50bn into the Saudi market. In Kuwait, the implementation of the FTSE upgrade to Emerging Market Status will be completed by the end of this year and is expected to attract US$900m into the Kuwaiti market. MSCI is expected to upgrade Kuwait in June 2019. The Dubai market has been the worst performing market in the GCC in 2018. However, we expect capital to flow back into Dubai as investors book profits and unwind index related trades.

Oil price

The price of oil remains well supported by strong global demand and the recent supply disruption. OPEC has responded to this growing supply deficit and has pledged to increase production by one million barrels per day. Saudi Arabia and UAE have also announced that they are ready to utilize their idle capacity to boost production and keep markets balanced. Rising oil prices and output will benefit the fiscal positions of the petrodollar economies of the Gulf who have budgeted oil prices well below current levels. This has started to translate into higher fiscal spending by the stronger GCC governments who are large players in their respective economies.

Real Estate

International investors continue to view the UK and Europe as secure investment destinations. Logistics assets are proving to be attractive as investors move away from retail and into warehousing and distribution assets. As the UK braces for Brexit, e-commerce will remain the primary driver of growth in demand for logistics space including larger fulfilment centres and "last-mile" depots, allowing retailers to efficiently serve an expanding and more demanding customer base. While the long-term impact of Brexit on the UK logistics market is still unclear, the likely transition period should provide additional time to restructure domestic and pan-European supply chains.

US assets continue to attract Gulf investors as the region doesn't suffer any US Dollar currency risk. Yields in the US remain relatively stable but with the higher cost of funding, total returns that are being achieved are lower in comparison to the UK and Europe, but arguably with reduced risk to currency volatility.

Investment Management

We saw significant interest during the period in our product offerings with gross inflows of US$362m leading to net inflows of US$182m. AUM as at 30 June 2018 including capital seeded by the Group increased 11% to US$1,929m.

Investment performance during the period was stable with returns from fixed income investments under pressure by rising short term interest rates in the US, and equities benefitting from strong global economic growth. Adding to positive sentiment in the region was the rally in oil prices with improving regional government fiscal positions and liquidity.

Investment Banking

In the first half of the year, our efforts were focused on post-acquisition work related to our 2017-year end acquisitions on behalf of our clients of three German-based real estate logistics assets.

During the period we evaluated several new assets and prepared three well researched bids for both commercial and logistic properties. However, we were unsuccessful in acquiring these assets as other investors were willing to pay prices well above our assessment of fair value. The competition for the type of long-income properties which have been the focus of our real estate investment strategy for the past years has intensified making the acquisition process that much more challenging.

Treasury and Principal Investments

Our investment in Red Apartments Limited is making progress in driving organic growth whilst capturing cost efficiencies. We are currently exploring the possibility of launching a fund to acquire new properties primarily in London and the South East.

Our balance sheet remains strong, both in terms of capital and liquidity which we use to support investments made throughout the Group.

Outlook

We remain optimistic as we continue to work closely with our clients to identify and deliver on investment opportunities.
