Thornton Managed Currency Fund - Managed Fund (Closed)

Fund Objective
Provide income, at varying levels, based on $A cash returns and currency deposits and trading while adding an independent element to investor's portfolio because of the low correlation of returns from this sector with those of shares or bonds.
Fund Strategy
The fund employs World Values' currency forecasting model - the Composite Currency Evaluation System (CCES) - to take advantage of the substantial currency movements rather than short-term fluctuations. CCES compare 8 economic factors, inflation, money supply, interest rate, wages, current account, trade balance, financial reserves and GNP for 8 nations i.e. Australia, US, UK, Canada, Germany, Japan, Switzerland and France.
