Searching for growth in difficult times

For those investors still keen to search out growth generating funds; and if you are not adverse to taking a degree of investment risk in an effort to try and secure greater growth, here is a fund worthy of consideration.

We believe the Eclectica Agriculture GBP Acc Fund is well positioned to maintain it's forward momentum despite the difficult economic climate. The funds objective is to achieve long-term capital growth through investment in a diversified portfolio of global quoted equity investments that are involved in, related to, concerned with or affected by agriculture and farming relating issues. With so much pressure on world-wide food stocks and agriculture related issues we believe the fund offers good growth prospects in the short, medium and long term. Managed by Hugh Hendry, since June 2007, the fund sits in the specialist sector and should only be considered by those investors willing to accept higher levels of investment risk.

As you can see from the graph the fund has performed exceptionally well when compared to the FTSE-100 producing 38.41% growth over the past year of which 20.60% has been achieved in the last 3 months alone. When you consider the extreme market volatility over this period the fund's perfomance is even more impressive. Furthermore being a fairly new fund we beleive it has a long way to go before it reaches it's true potential.
