Investment Strategy

Commoditrade's objective continues to be the creation of a group combining commodities expertise with complementary trading areas while at the same time, as required, building a back office infrastructure capable of supporting further growth whether by acquisition or organic development of market opportunities.

Commoditrade intends to invest in companies which would have some or all of the following characteristics:

• entities which are involved in the brokerage or trading of commodities;

• entities whose trading strategy or operations complement the strategy and business of the Commoditrade Group, for example where there is an opportunity to share administrative functions or cross-sell products;

• fund vehicles with investment products, which offer investors exposure to commodities markets;

• entities which either offer or have potential to develop trading operations or investment products within or that complement commodity markets; and

• entities developing opportunities to either trade new commodity products or to develop new methods or markets to trade commodities.
