Regular readers of my articles will have followed my views over the last four months of the wonderful investment opportunities that have arisen from last years traumatic times. Many of you have already taken my advice and have enjoyed very healthy returns of both high income and capital appreciation since February. It was then that I suggested that it was the time to start using your capital again and not accepting the dismal rates of ‘interest’ offered by the banks.
What has been most pleasing over the last few months has not only been the strong returns made for our clients but also the comfort that the original capital invested has also been protected from any potential falls. This reassuring message has been echoed by all new investors that have used our services this year.
So is it too late to invest now after the strong run we have had recently ? After such a good run we are starting to lock in the profit we have made for our happy clients. We are now in a position of holding between 30 and 50 per cent in cash as a result of taking healthy profits. We fully expect to be back ‘in the market’ again after the summer as inevitably new opportunities will arise. Such opportunities to date have been in my recommended areas of commodities – energy, metals and agriculture. I expect these to offer strong returns again in the second half of the year but for now we are happy to sit with more in cash.
On the topic of energy, we recently recommended that our investors took profit on our first capital protected product of 2009 which was linked to the crude oil price. We striked the product when oil was at $39 and recently sold when oil hit the $70 mark – an increase of 79 per cent ! These returns exceeded even my expectations and especially as it were only over a six month period.
For the more cautious investors, our UK recycling fund has done very well also with a net return to investors of approx. 7 per cent this year to date. Bearing in mind that interest rates are in the region of 1 per cent in both sterling and euro, even our most cautious investors have received returns considerably higher than bank rates.
