SAN ANTONIO—September 10, 2013—U.S. Global Investors, Inc. (NASDAQ: GROW), a boutique registered investment advisory firm specializing in natural resources and emerging markets, announced that Transamerica has added the Global Resources Fund (PSPFX) to its list of Preferred Providers.
“The Global Resources Fund is currently the only resources fund on this recommended list, offering Transamerica investors access to a professionally managed strategy for investing in natural resources,” says Susan McGee, President of U.S. Global Investors.
The Global Resources Fund invests in resources companies across 10 distinct industries, including base and precious metals, oil and gas exploration, agriculture and forest and lumber. While commodities are necessary building blocks of the world, they can have wide price fluctuations over time due to their seasonal and cyclical nature. Given the specialized assets and the global trends impacting them, the company recommends investing in a diversified basket of commodities.
Since its inception in 1983, the fund has received several accolades and awards. For the period ending June 30, 2013, the fund ranked 62 out of 9,666 peers across the entire mutual fund universe over 10 years, placing the fund in the top 1 percent, according to Lipper.*
“We’re pleased to have our fund featured on the Transamerica platform, as the firm is a growing financial services company with about 1,000 advisors who use mutual funds to help meet their clients’ investment needs,” says McGee. “This is a solid strategic partnership that offers a greater distribution of the fund while broadening Transamerica’s product offerings.”
