Presentation in:

We are scheduled to launch the Pantera IGS Fund in early May and are taking subscriptions now. As you know, Pantera is an alternative cash fund that invests in time deposits at the highest-rated banks in Europe as collateral for purchasing new-issue EMTNs from the largest European banks for immediate re-sale and same-day trades in order to realize immediate trading profits.

PANTERA IGS FUND UPDATE AND EMTN MARKET INFO

1) Principal Protection - Pantera invests in time deposits at the largest European banks with a minimum rating of AA- offering safety of principal along with the liquidity of monthly redemption for investors, as well as having the TDs funded in 50% USD and 50% EUR so that the Fund remains neutral on the two largest currencies.

2) Hi-Grade Banks are Safer than the Sovereign Debt of their Own Countries - This is because banks are always accountable and are among the most highly-regulated institutions that must maintain strong balance sheets. Governments are not.

WHY PANTERA IS AN IMPORTANT INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVE IN CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS:

The Pantera IGS Fund has officially signed with PWC Austria to be the Fund's tax representative in that country. PWC will file the proper reporting to the Austrian Tax Authority for the Fund to have "blutenweiss" or "extra clear" reporting of the monthly NAV beginning upon the launch of the Fund, scheduled for 1st May.

FIXED INCOME & RISING RATES: THE PANTERA IGS FUND AS A HEDGE AGAINST NEGATIVE INTEREST RATES

 

How's this for an investment opportunity: a guaranteed yield of 3.27 percent, with an enormous potential downside. As risky as that sounds, millions of investors are moving money into Treasury bonds as a "safe haven." In early September, the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond sank to a new low of 3.27 percent, while the 10-year note fell to 1.9 percent. If the inflation rate stays anywhere close to its current modest 3.6 percent pace, long-term investor…

THE RISKS LURKING IN "SAFE HAVEN" TREASURY BONDS

With the EU Debt Crisis Summit concluded, EU leaders have struck an accord to increase the European Financial Stability Facility Fund (EFSF) to €1 trillion or $1.4 trillion as well as for banks to write down their portion of the total €110 billion Greek bonds that are on their balance sheets.  This agreement has created new confidence in the banking and financial system, with bank stocks up tremendously so far today.
