Investment Objective
The Israel Trust seeks to provide capital appreciation by investing in companies based in Israel.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The trust consists of a portfolio of Israeli securities, represented by exchange-listed shares and American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”). These securities have been identified after a thorough selection process consisting of “top-down” economic analysis, sector and industry analysis, and company-specific due diligence. International Assets Investment Management, LLC (“IAIM”) believes that Israel has demonstrated significant economic growth in recent years and will continue this trend in the long-term. As such, this market may be poised to realize asset appreciation as global investors identify the investment opportunities and growth potential.
The sponsor has selected IAIM to serve as the trust’s portfolio consultant. The portfolio consultant is responsible for assisting the sponsor with the selection of the trust’s portfolio and providing ongoing support related to the securities in the portfolio.
With the assistance of IAIM, the sponsor has selected stocks for the trust that it believes have the potential to achieve the trust’s investment objective. The individual securities that comprise the trust have been specifically selected by the sponsor and IAIM to take advantage of the potential growth of the region, country and company itself.
