  2. Goldman Sachs JBWere Food, Feed, Fuel Keystone Fund (Food, Feed, Fuel Fund)

Investing in the BRIC II Fund
The BRIC II Fund is linked to the growth of the BRIC II Basket. At maturity of the swap, the swap counterparty is required to deliver to the BRIC II Fund the swap maturity value, which reflects the underlying basket growth (if any) of the BRIC II Basket.

The underlying index for the BRIC II Basket is the S&P BRIC 40 Index. The S&P BRIC 40 Index provides exposure to the four emerging markets commonly referred to as the BRICs: Brazil, Russia, India and China. These countries can be considered attractive investment opportunities in recognition of their potential to move from emerging market status to developed markets, and indeed global economic leaders.

The S&P BRIC 40 Index includes 40 leading companies from these four countries. All constituents trade on developed market exchanges (Hong Kong Stock Exchange, London Stock Exchange, NASDAQ and NYSE). The index used is priced in US dollars.

Investing in the Food, Feed, Fuel Fund



Global warming, melting glaciers, rising sea levels, desertification and other such global phenomena are making climate change an ever impending reality. Along with the drive to secure energy supply, governments around the world are increasingly pushing to create more environmental-friendly technologies and energy sources. Thus we enter into a new era of clean energy.

Biofuel is created from alternative sources: agriculture commodities such as corn, wheat, sugar and soybean oil. The Food, Feed, Fuel Fund has been structured to capture the growth potential from these agriculture commodities. The Food, Feed, Fuel Fund provides exposure to the growth of the S&P GSCI Biofuel E40 Excess Return Strategy.

The underlying investment for the Food, Feed, Fuel Basket is the S&P GSCI Biofuel E40 Excess Return Strategy, which is based on the S&P GSCI Biofuel Excess Return Index. The S&P GSCI Biofuel Excess Return Index was established in June 2007 with the composition fixed as set out in the chart (left).

Fixed participation rates

Unlike some other investments where variable capital protection methods can lead to changing degrees of exposure to an investment, the Keystone Funds offer participation rates that are fixed on day one and do not vary.

What is the participation rate?
The participation rate represents the degree to which a Keystone Fund participates in the performance of the underlying basket. For example, for a participation rate of 100%, a Keystone Fund would receive one-for-one exposure to the performance of the underlying basket.

Underlying basket *Indicative participation rate % Participation floor % Term
BRIC II Fund The BRIC II Basket: linked to an index representing equities in Brazil, Russia, India and China. 100 100 6 years
Food, Feed, Fuel Fund The Food, Feed, Fuel Basket: linked to a strategy tracking four agriculture commodities used in biofuel production. 105 95 5 years
* The indicative participation rate is the rate that would have applied if the date of the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) were the issue date. The actual participation rate will be set on the issue date of the units. It may be more or less than the indicative participation rate shown but it will not be less than the participation floor. If an actual participation rate of the participation floor or above, cannot be achieved for a particular Fund, the issue of units may not proceed and your investment amount will be refunded without interest.

Gaining exposure to some of the worlds fastest growing economies with the security of a 100% capital guarantee may suit investors seeking:

  • a way to access international markets and investment themes without the need to choose fund managers or individual securities
