Important Updates for Investors
Carla Pasternak's Premiere Issue of High-Yield International Just
Released
Income expert Carla Pasternak's debut issue of High-Yield
International covers a Taiwanese manufacturer yielding 9.5%... a
rare Mexican monopoly yielding 13.4%... and other top-performing
investments yielding up to 19.0%.
Government's Biofuel Timetable Could Spell +15,900% Growth
+15,900% growth might seem far-fetched... but it's not. In fact, it
is mandated by law. And I've identified the ONLY stock positioned to
capture this growth.
The
Silver Lining to a Falling Dollar
Despite the U.S. national debt, there is a silver lining for income
investors. This massive spending, combined with movement out of U.S.
Treasuries, is going to take its toll on the dollar, and
international income investors could reap the rewards in the form of
higher dividends. |

7.5+% Annual Dividends and Profit From the Booming Chinese Market By Investing in the
Aberdeen Australia Equity Fund (IAF) |
Published: March 21, 2005
ABERDEEN AUSTRALIA EQUITY
FUND (IAF) -- The greenback is slipping, oil is soaring, and China's
economy is still growing faster than just about any other place on
earth. What else do we need to convince us to take a closer look at the
Aberdeen Australia Equity (IAF)?
Let me explain.
Aberdeen Australia is an exchange-traded fund (ETF). It trades just like
a stock, but consists of an underlying portfolio of stocks just like a
mutual fund. The fund delivers an extraordinary 7.5% dividend yield
($1.00 per share a year) and its share price has already gained +15%
this year (and that's on top of a +40% jump last year).
This ETF is one of the few vehicles that enable U.S. investors to take
advantage of the sizzling Australian and New Zealand stock market. Top
holdings in the fund's portfolio include Australia's biggest iron ore
and coal producers -- BHP Billiton (BHP) and Rio Tinto (RTP). The fund
also has a large position in New Zealand's largest company, Telecom New
Zealand (NZT). Many of the other major names in the fund's portfolio are
not even listed on U.S. exchanges. These include global insurer QBE
Insurance, engineering firm Leighton Holdings, and Australia's largest
beer and wine maker -- Fosters.
While U.S. stocks are basically treading water, stocks "down
under" are racing ahead. Compared to the S&P (^GSPC), which is
down -2% this year, the major Australian (^AORD) and New Zealand (^NZ50)
indices have climbed about +5%.
These gains are being powered by neighboring China's voracious appetite
for oil, coal, copper, steel, and other resources. And even though the
Chinese government recently took some steps to slow its economy, China
still boasts one of the world's fastest-growing economies. As two of
that nation's primary trading partners, Australia and New Zealand should
continue to benefit from that tremendous growth.

The Aberdeen Australia Equity
Fund should also get a lift from the slumping U.S. dollar, which
recently fell to a multi-month low versus several major currencies on
fears of a widening trade gap. Commodities such as oil and gold are
generally priced in U.S. dollars, so when the dollar loses value, prices
generally rise to pick up the slack. Higher prices drive up the shares
of the various resource stocks held in IAF's portfolio.
Higher commodity prices also raise demand for Australia's and New
Zealand's commodity-based currencies. As a result, the Australian dollar
recently hit a one-year high versus several major currencies. Meanwhile,
New Zealand's dollar has climbed to fresh all-time highs against the
greenback. That's good news for IAF shareholders, as a weaker U.S.
dollar will translate into higher dividend payments for U.S.
shareholders.
Finding funds with +7.5% dividend yields and strong growth potential is
no easy task in this market, but we think we've found a winner in IAF.
With this in mind, income-oriented investors would be wise to take a
closer look at the Aberdeen Australia Equity Fund (IAF).
