Capturing opportunities in a transforming Saudi Arabia

You can now gain pure exposure to the Saudi Arabian equity market via our new Invesco MSCI Saudi Arabia UCITS ETF. This passive ETF is the first in Europe to offer targeted exposure to the largest economy in the Middle East. Capturing opportunities in a transforming Saudi Arabia.

Why Saudi Arabia?

  • Economy is undergoing major transformation

“Vision 2030” programme of social and economic reforms is intended to diversify the Saudi economy away from such a heavy reliance on oil and government funding. Domestically, this includes increasing use of solar and other renewable energy sources, and increasing the number of Saudis in private employment.

Internationally, they are trying to leverage the country’s unique geographical position between three continents, and encouraging major domestic corporations to expand across borders and into global markets. They also want to attract foreign investors and visitors.

  • IPO pipeline, including Aramco

The kingdom is planning to sell 5% of state-owned Saudi Aramco, partly to help fund the reform programmes. This could raise upwards of $100 billion, and is likely to be the largest IPO in history. This along with several other significant IPOs in the pipeline will expand the diversification of the index composition, open investment opportunities and increase the importance of the Saudi equity market for international investors.

Since 2015, the government has introduced reforms to make it easier for foreign investors to gain meaningful access to the Saudi equity market. These have included easing requirements for foreign investors and bringing trade settlement more in line with global standards.
As a result, MSCI is considering reclassifying Saudi Arabia to Emerging Market status (from Standalone Market) when it announces the result of its annual review on 20 June 2018. If successful, as widely expected, Saudi Arabia will be included in the MSCI Emerging Market index from June 2019.

MSCI suggests the weighting of Saudi Arabia will be around 2.3% of the MSCI Emerging Markets index, placing it behind just South Africa and Russia among countries in the EMEA region. However, this proportion would rise significantly following the planned IPOs of Aramco and others.

  • What happens next?

Although past performance is in no way an indicator for the future, it is still worth looking at what happened when other Middle East countries went through similar exercises. Both the MSCI United Arab Emirates (UAE) and MSCI Qatar indices saw strong performances following the announcement by MSCI that they were going to be included in the Emerging Markets index.
The country indices benefited from investors beginning to increase exposure leading up to their inclusion in the MSCI Emerging Markets index a year later.

Invesco MSCI Saudi Arabia UCITS ETF

This is the first Saudi Arabia ETF listed in Europe. It provides passive exposure to an MSCI index that has been capped to meet UCITS criteria and avoid over-concentration.

About the index

The MSCI Saudi Arabia 20/35 index comprises 32** large- and mid-cap stocks, covering approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalisation in Saudi Arabia. To ensure the index meets UCITS diversification requirements and avoids overconcentration:

  • The weight of the largest stock is constrained at 35%, and all other companies at 20%
  • An investability screen is applied to determine the universe of eligible index constituents
  • The index is reviewed and rebalanced quarterly.

Investment risk factors

As this is an emerging markets ETF, investors should be prepared to accept a higher degree of risk than for an ETF investing in the securities of issuers in other more established economies or developed countries, as difficulties in dealing, settlement and custody could arise.

The Fund is exposed to the risk of bankruptcy, or any other type of default of the counterparty related to any trading transaction entered into by the Fund.

In order to reach its investment objective, the Fund enters into swap agreements which provide the performance of the Reference Index, and may imply a range of risks which could lead to an adjustment or even the early termination of the swap agreement.

On-exchange liquidity may be limited due insufficient demand, Reference Index suspension, a decision by one of the relevant stock exchanges, or a breach by the market maker of respective stock exchange requirements and guidelines. This may result in share prices that differ significantly from the NAV.

Detta erbjudande är ytterligare ett tillägg till Franklin Templeton ETF-sortimentet och bringar det totala antalet räntebärande ETFer upp till åtta.

Franklin US Treasury 0-1 Year UCITS ETF kommer att noteras på Deutsche Börse Xetra den 2 juli och Euronext Paris, Borsa Italiana och Cboe Europe i Nederländerna den 3 juli. Den kommer att registreras för distribution i Österrike, Danmark, Finland, Frankrike, Tyskland, Irland (hemvistland), Italien, Luxemburg, Nederländerna, Spanien och Sverige.

Den börshandlade fonden följer Bloomberg US Short Treasury Index som består av cirka 100 värdepapper och inkluderar amerikanska statsobligationer, obligationer och växlar med löptider mellan en månad och ett år. Det erbjuder en lösning med räntebärande medel som kan vara kärnan i investerares obligationsportföljer eller en satellitallokering för investerare som söker inkomst och relativt lägre risk jämfört med den bredare obligationsmarknaden.

Den nya ETFen kommer att förvaltas av Albert Chan, William W. Chong och Jesse Hurwitz, som är ledande portföljförvaltare på Franklin Templeton Fixed Income4 och som har mer än fyra decenniers kombinerad erfarenhet inom kapitalförvaltningsbranschen och dokumenterad meritlista inom hantering av ETF-strategier.

Caroline Baron, chef för EMEA ETF Distribution, kommenterade: ”Franklin US Treasury 0-1 Year UCITS ETF är utformad för att ge enkel och effektiv tillgång till den amerikanska statsobligationsmarknaden. Genom att fokusera på kortfristiga värdepapper strävar vi efter att leverera ett investeringsalternativ med lägre risk och attraktiv avkastningspotential.”

Matthew Harrison, chef för Americas (ex-USA), Europe & UK, tillade: ”Eftersom vi strävar efter att bredda investerarnas valmöjligheter med utökningen av vårt erbjudande, är denna nya indexerade ETF en utmärkt byggsten för både institutionella och privatkunder som vill dämpa sina portföljer under volatila marknader.”

Franklin Templetons globala ETF-plattform gör det möjligt för investerare att uppnå sina önskade resultat genom en rad indexerade och aktiva ETFer. Med stöd av styrkan och resurserna hos en av världens största kapitalförvaltare har den globala ETF-plattformen cirka 42 miljarder dollar i förvaltat kapital globalt per den 31 maj 2025.
