Oxstones Investment Club™Performance comparison Western Balkans
Regional and global stock indices comparison
March return of Balkan Emerging Frontiers (BEF) Fund is roughly
estimated at around + 0.70%.
We are writing this newsletter, as we have recently received
some questions regarding returns of certain other investment funds.
BEF Fund is investment product mainly for investors with medium
term expectations, and not for those making their investment decisions
based mainly on monthly or even daily returns. Each investment
fund has its own best and worst periods, depending on comparison
periods and of course on its investment strategy.
Investment strategy of BEF Fund focuses on region of Western Balkans.
Despite the fact that in recent years the region has been unfortunately
forgotten, unpopular and neglected, BEF Fund realized positive net
returns for its investors every year. We are now operating for already
the sixth calendar year, further demonstrating BEF Fund long-term
investment objectives. Every investment fund has its better and worse
return periods and none is the best from all short terms perspective.
Nevertheless, in last 56 months (from its start of investing) BEF Fund
achieved substantially better return than other funds investing in
the region. Attached comparison presents this very clearly.
Time for best returns is yet to come. We believe that beginning
of major growth of Balkan markets is in front of us.
Low and lagging regional stock indices and thus undervaluation
of stocks is obvious and huge (you can review comparison in the
attached file)! When these indices increase from 15% to half of
their 2007 values this will represent growth of 233%. Rise of
indices to their former peak values will represent 566% growth!
As past experience show, it will soon be too late to catch this train.
Due to low liquidity, regional markets will grow by more than 100%
before most investors will take note of it, and probably even more
before they can react. Example: Recent growth of certain Slovenian
stock shares, even if the majority of population is not aware of it,
as they are “blinded” by daily media reporting on “crisis”. The longer
the duration of market stagnation, the stronger the growth when it occurs.
History of stock exchanges clearly shows with numerous examples
– the longer the market is depressed, the stronger it than grows when the tide turns.
Time for investing is quickly running out! When Balkan will be once
again on newspapers’ headlines, it will be too late! Until then,
we will already made you excellent profits!
Kind regards,
Balkan Emerging Frontiers Fund
