Fund has delivered 6% annual yield for clients1
LONDON, Sept. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Allspring Global Investments, a leading independent global asset management firm with $547 billion2 in assets under advisement, is expanding the distribution of its Global Equity Enhanced Income (GEEI) Fund as it hits the three-year anniversary. Since inception, the GEEI Fund has delivered both high, consistent income and meaningful capital appreciation for investors.
In the past three years, market volatility and economic uncertainty have challenged investors to adjust allocations to achieve sustainable and diversified returns. Income-generating equity strategies have gained traction with investors looking for high, consistent yield from diverse sources of income while also retaining exposure to long-term market growth.
Allspring’s GEEI Fund is designed to provide consistent quarterly income alongside capturing the growth potential of global equities. The fund invests in companies with attractive valuations and above-market-average dividends and enhancing income by using an active option overlay strategy. Since inception, the fund has averaged a 6% annual yield across share classes and has generated a total return of 9.9% on an annualised basis (after fees and costs).
Head of International Multi-Asset Portfolio Management Eddie Cheng, also one of the fund’s portfolio managers, commented, “Since launching GEEI in 2020, we’ve experienced a global pandemic, spiraling inflation, and a historically fast central bank rate hiking cycle. It’s been an eventful time, but we’re really pleased with how this strategy has performed. We believe our ‘quantamental’ approach combining the power of quantitative analysis alongside a fundamental review process has been key to our success.”
“We are excited to see one of our flagship strategies achieve a three-year track record,” commented Andy Sowerby, head of the International Client Group. “We remain committed to delivering more for our clients as we help investors navigate the complex global financial landscape. This fund has proven to be a valuable income diversifier and a great complement to more traditional income sources, such as bonds and money markets.”

The gross profit margin for Q3FY24 was down 0.9% year-on-year, due to increased depreciation and direct costs, but was up 0.8% quarter-on-quarter, in line with expectations.

SISCO reports a strong recovery in the Red Sea Gateway Terminal from subdued Q3FY23 Port segment results due to the Red Sea situation. Port volume reached 828,868 TEUs in Q3FY24, returning to levels similar to Q4FY23.
Commenting on the results: Eng. Khalid Suleimani, Group CEO, SISCO said:
“I am pleased to report that SISCO has continued to demonstrate strong growth and operational performance in Q3FY24, with revenues improving by 23.8% compared to Q3FY23. Our Ports segment, which remains a key growth driver, saw a significant increase, leading to robust results despite the Red Sea challenges.
Net income remains strong, despite the one-off payment of SAR 25 million to Zakat. Another highlight of the quarter is the impressive recovery in the Red Sea Gateway Terminal, highlighting it’s resilience.
We are also excited to announce the Multi-Purpose Terminals (MPT) concession, which will allow us to expand operations across all non-containerised port facilities in the Red Sea Gateway Terminal. This strategic initiative positions SISCO to capture further growth opportunities domestically and internationally.
Looking ahead, we remain committed to executing our five-year strategy to double revenues by 2026 and continue delivering long-term value to our shareholders.”
