Fund: BGF World Mining A2 USD

I received a lot of positive feedback on the Amag Pharmaceuticals articles (apart from the usual spam) and therefore decided to write something about another investment opportunity I found out about recently. This time it is a fund: BGF World Mining A2 USD. I read an article on handelsblatt.de, where investment experts were interviewed on how people should invest with the danger of high inflation rates expected in the near future. One of the experts suggested investing in commodities, as companies in this sector can change prices quickly based on current market situations, therefore not being as strongly affected by rising price levels. I did some research and found the Blackrock World Mining fund which looks really promising. As the name already suggests the fund invests in mining companies, mainly with a diversified portfolio of mining activities. The regional spread shows around 75% of stocks from Europe and North America. Commodities like gold, copper and others are suggested to show rising prices in the future which should positively affect the companies within the fund, which should result in a very good long-term performance. It’s definitely in my virtual portfolio!
