Plain English Finance: Our fund is here...

The Easiest Way to "Own the World"?

I am delighted to be able to announce that, last week, Plain English Finance was granted authorisation to launch our first ever investment fund:  The "VT PEF Global Multi-Asset Fund".

Not long after we published the first edition of my book back in 2012, people started getting in touch to ask if I would be able to invest their money for them "like in your book".

As a result of that interest, we took the decision to set out on the long road to provide exactly that option in a fully-regulated, global multi-asset fund.

Anyone who has read my book should have a basic idea of the kind of fund this is.  
Quite simply, it invests in a wide mix of assets to "own the world" (twenty-four of them to be precise). These include:  American shares, British shares, European shares, Asian shares, shares from various Emerging Markets, several different bond products, gold, agricultural and energy commodities and real estate and infrastructure – just the sort of mix you would expect if you've followed us for a while and understand the merit of our investment world view.
 
Later this week (hopefully tomorrow) - we will be sending out a full marketing brochure with all the details of the strategy and back-tested performance numbers all the way back to January 2001.

Over the next two weeks, we will also be working to make sure that the fund will be available from all the major UK stockbrokers and investment platforms:  e.g. AJ Bell, 7IM, Hargreaves Lansdown, AXA, Standard Life, Fidelity, Barclays, TD Direct and so on...

Please do watch this space!

As ever - thank you very much indeed for being part of the Plain English Finance community.  We hope you will find this new investment fund as exciting as we do.

Please help us spread the word.  If you think someone might be interested in this article, feel free to forward it on to as many people as you like!
