Merk Hard Currency Fund Available Through Schwab’s Mutual Fund Onesource® Service
Palo Alto, CA (ContentDesk) August 17, 2005 -- In response to strong customer demand, Merk Investments has made the no-load Merk Hard Fund™ (ticker symbol MERKX) available via the Schwab Mutual Fund OneSource® service. The Fund seeks to protect investors against declines in the US dollar by investing in a basket of hard denominated investments composed of high-quality, short-term money market instruments of countries pursuing sound monetary policy, and indirectly in gold."We are seeing an increasing interest to gain exposure to sound hard currencies among investors— not as a speculative play, but as a way to further diversify their holdings, said Axel Merk, president of fund manager Merk Investments. "We are excited that the Merk Hard Fund is now available through Schwab's Mutual Fund OneSource® service."In the face of the greatest financial imbalances of monetary history--as manifested by the enormous trade deficit-- the US dollar may be susceptible to further depreciation. An example of how these imbalances may be addressed is China's realignment of the Yuan to a basket of currencies, Merk continued. "Through the Merk Hard Fund, investors can seek protection against a declining dollar with the ease of investing in a no-load mutual fund. The Schwab Mutual Fund OneSource® service exemplifies the quality relationships we look for as we expand our opportunities to serve investment advisors and retail investors."
