Credit Suisse Investments has announced the launch of its new Global Themes 100 Trusts, offering investors access to emerging investment themes and markets such as agriculture, Asian property, China and India.

Distributed by Macquarie Equities, the Global Themes 100 Trusts offers investors the flexibility of either building their own portfolio or choosing from blended portfolios.

Investors building their own portfolios can select from 11 individual unit trusts that provide exposure to China, India, agriculture, emerging markets infrastructure, global resources, Asian property, Eastern Europe and Russia, global warming, world gold, market neutral and Australian equities respectively.

Choosing from blended portfolios combines a number of these trusts to provide access to broad macro themes that are currently driving world growth.

The head of Credit Suisse’s Asia Pacific structured retail products group, Adam Cowperthwaite, said the trusts are designed to offer participation in themes that are shaping world growth, with the added benefit of capital protection at maturity.

“The trusts provide an opportunity for investors to diversify their portfolio by allocating to a range of markets and asset classes that are not necessarily easy to gain access to,” he said.
