The present recession and associated credit crunch has contributed to begains becoming available in sectors with strong medium and long term growth. There is none better fitting this description than the Australasian energy resource and infrastructure sector which in terms of 'value for money' has been further assisted by the drop in value of the A$ against the US$ over the past 6 months resulting in Australian assets becoming 25% cheaper in real terms for those holding US$ reserves.

This and more has led Transworld to work on the creation of a Resource & Infrastructure Fund in participation with one of the world's leading investment banks and fund manager and it is expected this Fund will be formerly launched in Q2, 2009.

The Fund will be open for investment by selected Transworld clients and investors principally from the Middle East and Asia who, in many cases, have already indicated interest and a desire to invest.

More news will be posted concerning the Fund once it is finalised and open for investment.
