Products and Services

• Common Stocks

  The fund invests in common stocks of foreign companies, providing investors with a share of ownership in these entities. Common stocks offer the potential for capital appreciation as the value of these companies grows, as well as dividends if distributed by the company. Investing in stocks from different countries can also help diversify the investment portfolio against country-specific risks.

• Preferred Stocks

  Preferred stocks are another key investment for the fund, offering features of both equity and debt instruments. Preferred stocks typically provide higher dividend yields than common stocks and have priority over common stocks in terms of dividend payments and liquidation proceeds. This type of investment can offer more stable income and lower volatility compared to common stocks.

• Debt Obligations

  The fund also allocates assets to debt obligations of foreign companies, including bonds and other fixed-income securities. Investing in debt obligations allows the fund to generate income through interest payments, offering a steady stream of revenue. This type of investment can also serve as a hedge against the volatility of equity investments, contributing to the overall stability and risk management of the investment portfolio.
