           NEW!
          Hi-tech investment with unique safety net 
          TrackerFUNDs.com
          was quick off the mark last November with their promotion of a new
          Index fund to track the FTSE
          techMARK Index. Early bird investors will have been well satisfied
          by mid March having doubled their money – on paper that is! 
          The recent
          and sudden correction serves to confirm the importance of regarding
          any kind of equity investment as long term. But doubtless there are
          many people who either are suffering from burnt fingers or will take a
          while yet to pluck up courage to invest in a sector on which our
          future prosperity depends. 
          That’s why
          we’re shortly to introduce to the new trackerfunds.com website a
          quite different way to invest in hi-tech. This is for investors who
          want to profit from the revolution that’s going on right now but are
          put off because they don’t want to lose money in the short term. 
          TWO TYPE
          APPROACH 
          We think that
          there are two distinct ways to invest in hi-tech – one which
          requires a long term approach and the other where you forfeit a
          portion of the upside on return for protection on the downside. 
          
            - The long term approach is
              an Index tracking fund like the Close
              FTSE techMARK Index Fund and
 
            - the cautious route is the
              new HSBC Safety.net Fund.
 
           
          This new fund
          enables you to share in the performance of 20 of the world’s most
          dynamic hi-tech companies with the added advantage of 90% capital
          protection.
