Equity funds investing in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) are sitting on high cash piles, signalling a lack of conviction and absence of viable opportunities in a region touted as the next big emerging play.
Research suggests MENA funds are holding as much as a quarter of their assets in cash against a more usual global average of 2 to 5 percent, suggesting the bullish tone of many managers is not backed by their allocations.
Some say they are being constrained by a lack of more sophisticated market strategies and techniques."
