Daman Fifth Fund Continues to Yield Strong Dividend

Daman Fifth Fund reports stellar year-to-date performance despite market volatility

Dubai, UAE Nov 3, 2015: Daman Investments PSC, manager of one of the world's best-performing alternative mutual funds, and the Arab world's leading diversified, non-banking financial services company, announced a Q3 dividend for its Daman Fifth Fund.

The GCC-focused Daman Fifth Fund, the top performing alternative mutual fund globally as ranked by both Preqin and Eurekahedge in 2014, continued to outperform regional markets and peers during the first nine months of 2015.

The fund's performance comes amid concerns over a weak global economy, a deflationary commodity environment and the potential for a worldwide economic slowdown.

Depressed oil prices have been one of the major factors underlying the negative sentiment in the GCC and the broader commodity exporting markets with the Dubai Financial Market and Abu Dhabi Securities Market falling 4.79% and 0.58% over the same nine-month period respectively.

Qatar's bourse also dropped -6.67% during the first nine months of the year, while the Saudi gauge was down -11.15%.
