Sprott Asset Management has launched the Sprott Real Asset Class, a mutual fund that offers exposure to infrastructure, timber and agriculture.
The fund will be sub-advised by Capital Innovations, with Michael Underhill and Susan Dambekaln serving as lead managers, and it will be available starting on July 16, 2014.
“Diversified allocation to real assets…has historically offered investors lower risk and the potential for enhanced returns,” says John Wilson, CEO of Sprott.
