All figures in US$

US$	Opening	Closing
Net Asset Value *	28,036,291	27,264,445
NAV* per Ordinary Share	0.8886	0.8642

As mentioned in the previous month, the investment manager switched the allocation of equities to be more defensive by buying dividend companies. This turned out to be the correct positioning as dividend companies out-performed the overall equity market. During the month of May, the investment manager added a small allocation to equities and increased its allocation to the real estate allocation.

Asset Allocation:

-     27.0 % in Cash and Cash like Instruments

-     27.2% in Equities

-     20.8% in Islamic income

-     14.8 % in Private Equity

-     10.2% in Real Estate

Notes:

* All figures are unaudited. Also, as stated in the Admission Document, all private equity investments are only subject to 6 monthly 3rd party revaluations and therefore the net asset value as stated herein may differ from the actual position as at the dates reported.
