Liontamer looks to Australia

Liontamer has made its name in the market as a capital protected investment specialist and has also been a regular offerer of new funds.

Since the credit crisis, and a change ownership the firm has been quiet on the offer front. One of the problems has been the volatility in credit markets which has made it difficult to price up new funds.

It is looking to roll out a fund in June which is based on the Australian sharemarket. It hasn’t done a fund on this market previously, but believes this will be attractive to New Zealand investors.

The other big change is that the fund will offer what it calls, “fully unprotected” units as well as ones which have capital protection.
