|
24 January 2011 Craton Capital, the specialist manager of funds in the precious metal and natural resources sector, has been awarded a gold medal for its Global Resources Fund by the highly respected German rating agency, Sauren Fondsresearch. Craton Capital has won several prestigious investment fund awards over the past few days. Renowned rating agencies have also reacted to the consistently high performance of the Craton Capital Funds in their ratings, thus underlining the expertise of the company in the natural resources sector. Recent accolades for the company include:
“We are delighted about these additional awards and especially about the accolade for the Global Resources Fund, which has until now unfortunately not been considered in many ratings due to its size despite its impressive performance,” comments Markus Bachmann, co-founder of the company and fund manager. While Mr Bachmann has consistently won two gold medals by Sauren Fondsreserach for managing the Craton Capital Precious Metal Fund, he has now also been awarded with a gold medal for managing the Craton Capital Global Resources Fund for the first time, too. The Global Resources Fund is co-managed by Nathalie Han. Morningstar has also upgraded the Craton Capital Precious Metal Fund to four stars. At the same time the fund has achieved first place in the Euro and Euro am Sonntag Awards by Finanzen Verlag, Munich, for its performance in 2010 and second place for its performances over both three and five-year. “This is a wonderful confirmation, especially for those investors who have placed their confidence in us over many years. The praise is the success of the entire team. We are convinced that we will generate added-value this year too and will not be resting on these laurels,” emphasizes Bachmann. 1903 characters,306 words Background information: CRATON CAPITAL is a specialist manager of portfolios in the natural resources sector, including precious metals; metal and mining; oil, gas and utilities and renewable, alternative and sustainable resources.
