Quantum goes for gold and energy

Quantum Asset Management has released three plans linked to commodities including gold and oil, in the belief that long-term investors should be increasing their exposure to energy commodities and gold in particular. The five and a half-year Protected Gold Portfolio is 100% capital protected with 100% participation in the gold spot price, delivering a maximum return of 165%, including capital.

The Protected Energy Portfolio is a five and a half-year, 100% capital protected plan, providing 100% participation in a portfolio comprising Brent crude oil, WTI oil, natural gas, heating oil and gasoline. The plan delivers a maximum investment return of 180%, including initial capital.

Quantum has also released the five and a half-year Protected Energy Dynamo, which is 90% capital protected, with 100% participation in the same portfolio and a maximum investment return of 220% including initial capital. The three plans are backed by a double-A rated issuer.

“Our first Protected Commodities Accelerator will be maturing in November,” says Mark Mathias, chief executive of Quantum Asset Management. “The end-September valuation was over 185% of issue price. We believe that gold and energy offer similarly attractive returns potential
