I was recently informed about this fund. Not sure how good it is in 2-3 year term. So would appreciate some insight from you all.

Here's what ive found out:

The Fund’s objective is to manage a unique blend of physical and insured commodities trading, utilising a proprietary system that exploits arbitrage opportunities in short term commodity contracts. This strategy capitalises on the global demand for certain commodities and at the same time the methodology minimises risk and volatility. The primary focus of the Fund is currently precious metals.

Unlike “long only” Funds, Kijani’s unique approach ensures that profits are made over relatively short trading cycles. It is not necessary for the price of a particular commodity to rise in order for the Fund to make a profit. The Fund is not correlated to Commodity prices, Equities or Bonds.

This fund is based at Mauritius but fund investors come from US, Europe, UK & South Africa.

The Fund operates within a Protected Cell of the Four Elements PCC, an Open Ended Collective Investment Scheme Established in 2008 and regulated by the Mauritius Financial Services Commission. The Protected Cell Company (“PCC”) was introduced in Mauritius in 2000 and is governed by the Protected Cell Companies Act 1999 (the “Act”).

The concept of a PCC is that a company, while it remains a single legal entity, may create segregated cells (each, a “Cell”) such that the assets and liabilities of each Cell are legally separate from the assets and liabilities of any other Cell. The segregated cell concept is well established in the financial world and also exists in various other jurisdictions (the Cayman Islands & the Channel Islands) and is also referred to as a segregated portfolio company. The concept has been more widely used in the last five to ten years and has become increasingly well understood and recognised in the financial industry.

No la. Tis aint one of those scams. Whats wrong with a 20% potential return? Other commodity based funds can potentially get you up to 50% return but u can also lose 100%. Thats the risk.

Just google Kijani Commodity Fund and ull see all the articles. Even Bloomberg tracks this fund among others.

Then what kind of fund is better? ANything in particular?

Nope wasnt advertised locally. A forumer here told me about it and i did some research.

Of course i know that. I aint some noob investor. IM asking questions. Doesnt mean im gonna dump all my money tomorrow. I'll surely do my research. But right now i need more info.

Nop. Aint offended.

Its a Mauritius fund so obviously based there right?

Which SC approval do you need?

Any further info on the viability of this fund?
