The portfolio was up 1.33% for the month of April. This strong performance came mainly from the equity allocation as equity markets, as measured by MSCI World Islamic Index, returned 4.34%. The Investment Manager's decision to rotate out of Sukuks in March and into equities proved to be correct as equities out-performed Sukuks by 3.50%.

-     17.6% in Cash and Cash Like Instruments

-     17.0% in Islamic Income
