The LSEG Lipper Fund Awards for the MENA markets honor funds that have demonstrated exceptional performance through Lipper’s stringent evaluation methodology. Kamco Investment Fund was recognized as the Kuwait 2026 winner in the MENA Markets and MENA Markets Domestic categories, receiving awards for “Best Equity Fund Over 3 Years”, “Best Equity Fund Over 5 Years”, and “Best Equity Fund Over 10 Years”.
The Kamco Investment Fund outperformed its benchmark across the respective investment periods, recording returns of 35.3% over 3 years compared to 34.2% for the benchmark, 69.0% over 5 years versus 54.5% for the benchmark, and 205.2% over 10 years compared to the benchmark return of 164.8%, as of 30 April 2026.
Commenting on the recognition, Salah Al Wuhaib, Managing Director of Equity and Fixed Income at Kamco Invest, said, “We are honored to receive this recognition for the fourth consecutive year, which comes as a testament to the consistent performance of the Kamco Investment Fund, which remains one of our flagship strategies in Kuwait. This achievement highlights the strength of our investment philosophy and the active management approach we adopt across our funds and portfolios. We remain committed to maintaining a disciplined investment approach aimed at generating sustainable long-term value for our clients.”
Al Wuhaib added, “This recognition from the LSEG Lipper Fund Awards reflects the fund’s strong performance across short-, medium-, and long-term investment horizons. Our investment framework has demonstrated resilience throughout varying market conditions and periods of volatility. Our Kuwait-focused funds continue to achieve solid results and maintain their position among the top-performing conventional and Islamic funds.”
Otto Christian Kober, Head of Lipper Research, LSEG Data & Analytics, said, “The 2026 LSEG Lipper Fund Awards mark another volatile three-year stretch for global markets. The managers we’re recognizing have guided investors through an environment where base rates have spiked, then diverged, as central banks navigated new and challenging inflationary landscapes, alongside uneven global growth, and heightened geopolitical risk.”
Kober added, “Whether managers entered the market in the era of easy money or have navigated cycles for decades, the recent period made one thing plain: durable results come from a disciplined process, not prediction. We applaud the 2026 LSEG Lipper Fund Award winners for delivering outperformance and the steady reassurance of consistency through changing market conditions.”
Al Wuhaib concluded by commending the Equity and Fixed Income team for their dedication and disciplined investment approach, which consistently position Kamco Invest equity funds among the top-performing funds in their categories.
