Vision Emerging Oman Fund offers investors an opportunity to participate in the economic growth of Oman.

The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve growth through capital appreciation and dividends by investing in equities listed and/or to be listed on the Muscat Securities Market.

As the country is capitalizing on the high oil prices, it has positioned itself as a broadly diversified investment destination. The increasing private sector investments and attractive valuation of the listed companies with high quality of earnings makes Oman an interesting investment opportunity.

Launched in August 2007, the fund has been consistently outperforming the benchmark index in both peak and trough seasons.
