August 18How we invest in Gulf equities
Key takeaways
Saudi equities have drifted to roughly zero sensitivity to oil once global equity movement is accounted for. UAE equities now move against crude, driven by property rather than energy.

Aramco and the petrochemical names are close to 19% of the Saudi index, yet Aramco rose about 15% as crude rose 31%. Under half the move reached shareholders.

Real estate is about 18% of the UAE market and fell roughly 20%, with one developer causing most of the damage. Energy is only about 9%.

Financials are roughly 40% of each market, which is why both now track global sentiment more closely than the oil price.

Only about one in four Saudi equity funds beat TASI. Cash and sukuk funds returned a median of 3.8%, and nearly half of all fund assets in the Kingdom already sit there.

The gap between the best and worst Saudi equity fund exceeded 24 points in a market that moved 3.2%. Selection mattered far more than allocation.

Key Topics:
The original Turtle experiment and lessons from Richard Dennis

Why and how trend following focuses on small losses and large winners

Current market dispersion and what it means for systematic strategies

The psychological challenge of sticking with trend during whipsaws and drawdowns
