Authorised Investment Fund would be one of the most under-rated Hotcopper stocks, not that this is necessarily important. It's HC public profile may be low, but investors are still buying it and will continue to do so because it's revenue will escalate many fold this year.
It first came to my attention on Freehold's Uptrend List earlier in the year, although it received little notice from the regulars apart from one fool who also added it to his list. It since fell off the risers trend but has now returned in vengeance. And for good reason.
With it's recent new traction, it found some voice on the Day Thread, but all in vain. Fort some unfounded reason it is considered 'some Chinese thingy.' Nothing could be further from the truth as far as management goes. Some of it's investments are in SE Asia, and one of the more recent ones is an extension into the world's largest outgoing tourist market, China. This is just one of the new additions that will help catapult the revenue returns.
Before saying much more, a point of interest is that all AIY investments do not collect capital gains tax.
The following are some pastes from various news and websites.
