British-American Money Market Fund

If your client requires a low risk investment with high income yield, capital stability and immediate liquidity, then this fund would work for them.


British-American Money Market fund is tailored to obtain high level of current income while protecting investor’s capital. The portfolio objective is to outperform the income yield available on the money market call accounts by investing in interest-bearing securities and other short term money market instruments with a short term maturity.


This is a good parking place for investors who wish to switch from a higher risk portfolio to a low risk, high interest portfolio, especially during times of high stock market volatility.

British-American Bond Plus Fund

This fund is suitable for investors who are seeking a regular income from their investment and those who intend to secure a safe haven for their investments in times of stock market instability.


The fund invests in interest-bearing securities. Investments include non-equity securities, financially sound preference shares, treasury bills, treasury bonds, corporate bonds and any other securities which are consistent with the portfolio’s investment policy.


The portfolio may have a direct and/or selected direct exposure to off shore investments. The fund can be used as a means of drip feeding investments into the equity fund over a long period of time.


This fund proves to be very appropriate for individuals interested in regular income from their investment.

British American Balanced Fund

This fund is suitable for investors who seek to invest in a balanced portfolio offering exposure to all sectors of the market. The fund aims to achieve a reasonable level of current income and offers investors with long term capital growth. This would be achieved by investing in a diversified spread of equities and fixed income securities.


The fund invests in listed shares and preference shares including property shares and property loan stock among others. The fund will have a bias towards equities offering long term value.


The portfolio may have a maximum of 10% direct and/or indirect exposure off shore as a hedge against inflation. This fund is therefore attractive to investors who are looking for higher risk and returns.
