Gulf Investment Fund - Much more than just oil & gas
Gulf Investment Fund (GIF) has built up an attractive track record of both absolute performance and outperformance of its benchmark. Recent higher energy prices appear to have bolstered sentiment toward the region. Governments are using the revenue windfall to fund vast infrastructure projects aimed at diversifying their economies.GIF is unique within the London-listed investment company universe and offers exposure to an arguably increasingly important region. Notwithstanding GIF’s track record, institutional investors have taken advantage of stringent discount control mechanisms and have shrunk the company. The board would like to see it re-expand.
