The fund was re-launched in 2010 with promoters seeding the fund with USD 2 million.
The fund has been inactive in the last decade due to the poor investor sentiment on Sri Lanka due to the civil conflict which has since been resolved.
The fund underperforms the benchmark All Share Price Index due to the lack of capital and meeting redemption outflows during the initial part of the year.
