NET ASSET VALUE

The Directors today announce that the estimated Net Asset Value per ordinary share of US $0.01 each ("Ordinary Share") based on the estimated value of The Family Shari'ah Fund Limited provided by the Fund Administrator - Apex Fund Services (Ireland) Limited as at 31 Mar 2011 - including income was US $0.9065*.

The Net Asset Value position* as at 28 Feb 2011 and 31 Mar 2011 and the portfolio allocation as at 31 Mar 2011 is summarised below.

Period 28 Feb 2011 (opening) - 31 Mar 2011 (closing)

All figures in US$

US$	Opening	Closing
Net Asset Value *	28,454,018	28,601,553
NAV* per Ordinary Share	0.9019	0.9065

The portfolio was up 0.5185% for the month of March. This performance came mainly from the equity allocation and accruals from the Sukuks, Alternative Investments & Real Estate. The investment manager took advantage of the volatility seen in the equity markets in March and initiated a position in a European equity manager. In addition, given the rally in the Sukuk, the investment manager took off one position at a profit as spreads tightened significantly.

Asset Allocation:

-     17.8% in Cash and Cash Like Instruments

-     16.9% in Islamic Income

-     31.2% in Equities

-     3.5% in Alternatives

-     16.4% in Private Equity

-     14.2% in Real Estate
