Products and Services

The UBS SDIC CSI Upstream Resources Fund offers a dedicated investment vehicle focusing on key areas within the upstream resources sector:

• Oil and Gas Exploration: The fund invests in companies involved in searching for and extracting crude oil and natural gas. This segment is characterized by its high sensitivity to global economic trends and energy prices, offering potential for significant returns on investment in response to fluctuations in global demand.
• Metal Mining: Targeting businesses engaged in the extraction of valuable metals, the fund aims to capitalize on the growing need for raw materials used in technology, construction, and various manufacturing sectors. Investing in metal mining offers exposure to commodities like gold, copper, and iron ore, which have historically been seen as hedges against inflation and economic uncertainty.
• Resource Extraction-related Activities: Beyond traditional mining and drilling, the fund also encompasses investments in companies involved in the initial processing of extracted resources. This includes smelting, refining, and other preparatory activities that are essential for transforming raw materials into market-ready forms. This broader approach allows the fund to capture value across the entire upstream segment of the natural resources industry.
