Currently
we have one international mutual fund, available to non-U.S. clients
only: the Freedom Capital Fund (FCF). The mission of the fund
is capital appreciation by investing principally in equities issued
by companies around the world. This fund may be appropriate for investors
seeking a higher long term return accompanied with a higher risk.
This fund could also be used to structure a long term investment program
to achieve economic independence. It allows an investor to participate
in the economic growth of companies from different parts of the world.
Freedom Management Corporation is the managing entity of the Freedom
Capital Fund and its authorized distribution agent. The portfolio
and investment manager of the fund is Freedom Asset Management Corporation
of America, and the Management Company has distribution agreements
with numerous distributors in the various countries where the fund
shares are available for purchase. First American Bank serves
as the custodian and shareholder registrar and transfer agent for
the Freedom Capital Fund, Ltd.
Diversification
The Freedom Capital Fund offers you the possibility of diversifying
your portfolio not only in regard to type of industry but also geographically
as the fund is permitted to invest in companies from different industries
and geographic locations.
Information
The Management Company provides investors with current information
on the performance and holdings of the fund through its website at
www.freedomglobal.com and through individual statements sent to each
shareholder.
Liquidity
As explained in the prospectus the shares of the Freedom Capital Fund
are redeemable every Friday at the closing price as calculated by
the custodial bank at the close of the New York Stock exchange at
4:PM eastern standard time. Redemption charges and fees vary from
1% to 8% as explained in the prospectus and according to the different
classes of shares.
Dividends and capital distributions
The fund pays a quarterly dividend on the last day of each calendar
quarter. When there are not enough profits to cover the dividend the
fund may make a capital distribution to make up for all or part of
the missing portion. Unless otherwise specified by the investor, dividends
and capital distributions will be reinvested at no cost at the closing
price of the fund shares on the distribution date.
Taxes
Since this is an offshore fund based in the Island of Nevis we believe
it is for the most part not subject to taxation. However as explained
in the prospectus there will be times when the assets or profits of
the fund may be taxed by the different jurisdictions where business
is conducted. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors
concerning their individual tax consequences of investing in this
fund.
Risk
There can be no assurance that the funds investment objectives
will be achieved. The value of the funds portfolio and thus
the value of its shares will fluctuate in response to changes in market,
economic conditions and the financial and business conditions of the
issuers where its capital is invested.
Expenses
Annual fund operating expenses are paid out of the funds assets.
The FCF pays the Management Company a fee of 3% yearly for management
of the portfolio and distribution expenses. The fund also incurs general,
financial, trading and tax expenses. All of the fund's expenses are
factored into the share price which is presented as a net asset value
after deducting all fees and expenses.
Purchase costs
Investors incur no cost in purchasing fund shares, but do pay an exit
fee of 1-8%, depending on the class of shares held, if they withdraw
their capital prior to predetermined schedules.
