We can see where the value is around the globe at present from a sectoral perspective – oil & gas and metals & mining stand out as being ‘very cheap’. From an equity markets allocation basis the following markets are the most attractive too – Japan, Italy & Spain.

Where are we positioned in our new Titan Global Macro fund that will be opened upto the public on 1 July? No prizes for guessing – selected metals and mining picks, building back into a long Japan position and sitting ready for entry into Spain and the Italian markets.

We have also launched 2 dedicated long/short sectoral funds – Precious Metals and Natural Resources in which we have been building our positions, all uniquely withing a spread bettin wrapper and so offering potential completely tax free returns.
