Threadneedle brengt het Enhanced Commodities Fund (TECF) op de markt. Beleggers kunnen daarmee investeren in het hele spectrum aan commodities.
The Threadneedle Enhanced Commodities Fund will provide investors with an opportunity to invest in an actively managed long-only UCITS III fund with exposure across the commodity spectrum. Investors are increasingly seeking out more sophisticated, actively managed, long only commodities products following the underperformance of passive products through 2009. We believe this product will present clients the opportunity to increase returns and reduce risk through diversification.
David Donora, manager of the new fund, said: “Threadneedle’s fundamentally driven investment model provides an ideal platform from which to operate this actively managed commodities fund. It is philosophically consistent with our approach of independent thinking and disciplined decision making that aims to achieve significant outperformance over passive commodity investing.
“Because the commodity markets are always evolving I believe the way forward in generating superior returns over the long term is through skilled and experienced active management. Delivering our macro and fundamentally based investment process in a UCITS III structure makes this fund a real alternative to index tracking in long-only commodity investment.
“Over the next decade, I expect the nominal investment in commodities to exceed a trillion dollars. This will be driven by price appreciation, a broadening of investable commodities and more investors getting on board. Owning commodities is an excellent way for investors to participate in the growth of emerging markets.”
Campbell Fleming, Head of Distribution at Threadneedle, said: “We have found that a large number of our clients are increasingly seeking out more sophisticated, actively managed, long only commodities products following the underperformance of passive products through 2009. We believe this product will present clients the opportunity to increase returns and reduce risk through diversification. Headed by David Donora, our commodities team has over 40 years experience in commodities and with it a deep understanding of the structure and mechanics of the commodities markets. We are very excited to launch this fund at this time.”
