LSC Australian Resources Hi-Alpha Fund

Investing in Australian resources provides key exposure to the industrialisation of China and other emerging economies – the growth engine of the world for the next decade or so.

BHP and RIO provide some growth attributes, but their sheer size tends to restrict their investment attractiveness to only commodity price leverage. It is the mid-tier and smaller companies that provide a combination of strong growth and commodity exposure.

The LSC Australian Resources Hi-Alpha Fund meets these criteria by utilising the experience of Stock Resource research and it's expertise in resources.

The fund is designed for investors who would like to balance their resources exposure, but do not have the time or expertise to actively invest in the sector outside BHP and RIO investments. This universe represents about half of the total resource sector, or about 12% -15% of the ASX 200 Index.

The Performance of the Fund speaks for itself. As at 31st December 2009, the LSC Australian Resources Hi-Alpha Fund has increased 108.39% in the last 12 months.

As a special offer for InvestSMART subscribers, LimeStreet Capital have reduced the minimum to $10,000 for new investments placed before 31 Jan 2010.
