SVM Asset Management - Fund of Funds - Global Opportunities Fund

SVM Global Opportunities Fund is a diversified portfolio of interesting specialist funds designed to provide long-term growth. The investments held within the Fund are carefully selected to be less correlated to major equity markets. The Fund consists of a blend of single country funds giving exposure to the fastest growing global economies, hedge funds which have an absolute return focus, private equity funds which have traditionally provided returns only loosely related to stockmarket movements and other specialist funds. The Fund is managed by Colin McLean and Donald Robertson who have managed the highly successful SVM Global Fund plc Investment Trust since launch in 1991.

We are pleased to announce increased flexibility on pricing across the entire SVM Retail OEIC Fund range by enhancing initial commission up to 5.25%.

The offer will run from 1st October 2009 until further notice while we await the publication of the Retail Distribution Review. It allows intermediaries to rebate up to 5.25% of their commission to clients, so if an adviser is remunerated on a fee basis they can choose not to take any commission and give their clients access to SVM's funds with no initial charge.
