Ways to Invest
Find out how to invest in this fundHL Research - Our view on this Fund
In the earlier part of this year, this fund was benefiting from its low exposure to banks and a large exposure to the mining sector. However, since mid 2008 the commodity sector has suffered and this has affected the fund’s performance in the shorter term. While the wider economic factors have also put additional pressure on markets, Karen Robertson hopes that the cut in interest rates will provide a boost.
