OREANDA-NEWS. On June 18, 2007 Allianz ROSNO Asset Management conducted market launch of two new open share investment funds: "Allianz ROSNO Shares of Companies Operating Outside the Raw Materials Sector" and "Allianz ROSNO Shares of Companies Operating Inside the Raw Materials Sector", reported the press-centre of ROSNO.

This will enable the company to expand the existing product line offered by its share investment funds, as well as apply segmented approach to investment.

New share investment funds have been founded to provide investors a larger variety of efficient instruments to maximize income from investing into the shares of companies operating either inside, or outside the raw materials sector.

The share investment funds "Allianz ROSNO Shares of Companies Operating Outside the Raw Materials Sector" and "Allianz ROSNO Shares of Companies Operating Inside the Raw Materials Sector" will be offered to the company’s clients together.

The assets held by the fund "Allianz ROSNO Shares of Companies Operating Outside the Raw Materials Sector" are invested into the shares of Russian companies not related to production of raw materials and oriented towards domestic demand. The target companies are selected on the basis of their high business development potential and value increase opportunities. The fund’s task is to invest in the Russian economic sectors other than the raw materials sector, aiming to gain profit regardless of the situation at the markets for raw materials.

Unlike the abovementioned fund, shares of the fund "Allianz ROSNO Shares of Companies Operating Inside the Raw Materials Sector" are invested in shares of the Russian companies engaged in production and export of natural resources, such as oil, gas, or metals. This fund enables its stakeholders to invest exactly in the raw materials sector of the Russian economy. The fund’s investors will be individuals and companies expecting great earnings in the long-term perspective.

The General Manager of Allianz ROSNO Mr. Oleg Mazurov says: "Optimal combination of two share investment funds complementing each other enables our clients to achieve maximum profitability while maintaining efficient risk control. Segmented approach is a convenient tool for absorption of price fluctuations at the global markets for raw materials, as well as for profitable investments at the domestic sectors of the Russian economy other than the raw materials sector".
