Feeding the appetite for safer investment
Goldman Sachs JBWere (GSJBW) has launched Keystone Funds — Series III (Keystone III), the latest fund series aiming to provide safer investment in the turbulent world market.
The Keystone III funds gives investors four international investment opportunities and a 100 per cent NAB Capital Guarantee on maturity.
“The Keystone III funds offer investors certainty via fixed participation rates and a capital guarantee as well as diversification by way of exposure to underlying index baskets of selected international equities and commodities,” GSJBW executive director structured products Paul Banks said.
The Keystone III funds offer investments in four funds.
The Food, Feed, Fuel II fund provides exposure to the agricultural commodities corn, wheat, sugar and soybean.
The Sustainability fund provides diversified liquid exposure to 30 of the largest publicly-listed companies operating in ecology-related industries.
The final two funds are hindsight funds in global equities and commodities.
The funds are available from May 5 and have a minimum investment amount of A$10,000 for the first fund and A$5,000 per subsequent fund, GSJBW said.
