The aim of the SF t1ps Smaller Companies Gold Fund

The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve capital growth.

 It is the Fund’s policy to seek to invest at least 80% of its core investment portfolio in securities of companies which are predominantly involved in the mining, exploration, development and production of gold. Up to 20% of the Fund’s core investment portfolio may be invested in the securities of companies predominantly engaged in the mining, exploration, development and production of silver and other precious metals.

The Fund will seek to invest at least 60% of its core investment portfolio in equities admitted to or dealt in on the Main Market or the Alternative Investments Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange, PLUS Markets or the Channel Islands Stock Exchange. Up to 40% of the Fund’s core investment portfolio may be invested in the securities of companies admitted to or dealt in on the Australian Securities Exchange or the Toronto Stock Exchange. At its discretion, the Fund may invest in securities admitted to or dealt in on other Eligible Markets. Up to 10% of the Fund’s core investment portfolio may be invested in unlisted securities.

The Fund will seek to invest its core investment portfolio predominantly in equity securities and loan notes and convertible loan notes that qualify as transferable securities. The Fund may also invest in other transferable securities, approved money market instruments, government and public securities, deposits, cash and near cash, but does not intend to invest in collective investment schemes or derivatives.

The Fund aims to achieve the investment objective and policy primarily to deliver capital growth as a result of stock selection and an anticipated increase in the price of gold and other precious metals during the next five years.

The team of myself, Malcolm Burne and Tom Winnifrith, sees the potential for huge gains in the coming months and our portfolio of 35 stocks is ideally placed to capitalise on this.

We have never seen a better short, medium and long term opportunity to make spectacular capital gains.

The management team believes that Gold will continue to advance to new all time highs over the next few months as confidence in the major paper currencies collapses. And as gold producers are operationally geared to this, the way to play this is by investing in a basket of carefully selected gold mining stocks.
