In the past year, finance Echigier are the next leaders in the world Corona has achieved a great deal with an increase of over 90% in terms of a portfolio that can be browsed wonderfully with some themes linked to the virus infection. “This fund has two key characteristics that set it apart from other products of this genre,” Rolando Grandi (manager of Echigier World Next Leaders’ Fund) underscores.

“First Multiple thematic nature of the investment process, Without epiphenomenal, and with a selection of long-recorded trends in stock market performance. “The second characteristic Fitting in small and medium caps (முதல் 1 to ில்லியன் 20 billion) for a substantial proportion of assets under management.
