InvestSMART Newsletter - 30th October 2003
PIONEER NICKEL FLOAT
We have been unable to secure any firm stock in this float due to the limited amount available to the public after Heron Shareholders take up their entitlements (approx. $1,000,000 available to the public). However, we have been given assurances from Pioneer that applications will be dealt on a "first-come first-served" basis.
Most other brokers have to wait for the prospectus to be printed and posted out but since we distribute the prospectus electronically, InvestSMART members have a small window of opportunity to download the prospectus, read it carefully and if interested, print off the application form and send it in completed with money ASAP. It is important to understand that due to the limitation of stock there are no assurances you will receive what you ask for.
Pioneer Nickel Limited is a specialist nickel exploration company seeking to develop Nickel Sulphide deposits in the region of the Pioneer, Widgiemooltha and Depot Domes south of Kambalda, and the Acra-Silver Swan region north-east of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.

GEC AUSTRALIAN HEALTHCARE FUND
InvestSMART is pleased to invite you to become a subscriber in the GEC Australian Healthcare Fund. By investing you will be investing in a portfolio of mainly Australian Healthcare sector stocks.

Boutique Funds |
|
Boutique fund managers continue to grow in popularity, driven mainly by recent poor performance of larger fund managers and the perceived notion that small funds are more nimble and effective at getting in and out of investments especially smaller cap stocks.
Many boutique-managed funds are part owned by the fund manager and their payment structure is usually based on smaller percentage fees and more performance-based fees. Again giving investors the feeling that their interests are closely aligned to that of the fund manager.
+ Last year's MER. Subject to performance fees
* 3 months to 30th Sept 2003

Global Resources |
|
Any metal gold in colour and those companies lucky enough to be associated with these metals seem to currently be investor favourites. Gold and nickel prices especially continue to remain strong.
InvestSMART believes the recovery in world economies will lead to continued demand for raw materials especially in emerging countries such as China and will underpin a strong resource sector recovery.
