RFC manages the RFC Natural Resource Fund – an Australian domiciled unit
trust open for “Wholesale Client” investors focussed on emerging natural
resource investment opportunities.
The Fund was established 30 November 2005
The custodian of the Fund is Perpetual Trustee Company Limited
Capital is invested in small and mid-cap (listed and unlisted) companies
in the mining and oil & gas sectors
The principal strategy is to invest in the securities of natural
resource companies that own projects at a pre-feasibility or feasibility
stage of development where the Manager considers that there are strong
prospects for a successful project development. Provided the risks are
well considered and understood, RFC considers that such an investment
demonstrates a value and growth potential opportunity. (refer Figure
below)
We are seeking to earn absolute returns throughout the natural
resource equity cycle by targeting investments in listed & unlisted
equity, convertible securities and secured debt instruments, as
appropriate to our view of the cycle.
It requires specialist skills to identify,
structure and secure the investment opportunities and also to properly
price these opportunities, thereby achieving superior returns in this
sector.
The Funds are long only, non-leveraged and unhedged.
The Manager is part of the RFC Group which has a long standing
reputation as a specialist in identifying value in this sector. The
Funds benefit from RFC’s market presence and its demonstrated track
record of deal flow for both listed and unlisted suitable investment
opportunities.
