Investments specialist FC has announced the launch of a new investments fund that may be of interest to people looking for high returns over the coming months.

With €200 million (£136 million) in assets at launch, the global tactical asset allocation alpha fund has been designed from the start with multi-asset portfolio access in mind.

And the company indicates that the fund will feature a high level of transparency and accountability in order to appeal to a wider range of potential clients than are typically attracted to similar investments.

Fernando Ribeiro, head of investments at FC, also sought to drawn attention to how the fund plans to generate strong returns.

What the FC GTAA [global tactical asset allocation] alpha fund offers investors is a source of return generated from macro top-down decisions and the opportunities created by pricing inefficiencies among asset classes and markets, he explained.

On February 27th 2007, many global investments suffered as the Shanghai Stock Exchange composite index dropped 8.8 per cent in a day.

Since some sectors were hit more strongly than others, the drop prompted many financing analysts to promote the benefits of diversified investments portfolios .
