Sector Investment Managers

Sector Investment Managers (SIM) was established by Angelos Damaskos and the late Jim Slater, his father-in-law, early in 2004 based on their conviction that the world was entering into a super-cycle demand environment for oil and other commodities. The industrialization of China, India and other emerging economies would drive this supercycle for o... ver 20 years and, as supply of commodities was short, prices would rise significantly. The objective was to create a management company that would advise high-performance, narrow-focus investment funds that could be used as asset allocation tools by any investor wishing to obtain exposure to the respective market sectors. For Jim's biography please visit: www.jimslater.org.uk The Junior Oils Trust was the first fund launched by SIM and it started investing on 11 October 2004. The Junior Energy Fund was launched on 29 August 2006, following the successful track record of the Junior Oils Trust, in the alternative investment field. In the aftermath of the catastrophic financial crisis of 2008, management and shareholders of SIM thought that gold offered an alternative store of value to potentially devaluing currencies and that it would attract the attention of the investment world. As a result, a new fund, Junior Mining, was designed and launched on 8 September 2009. This fund concentrated most of its investments in junior gold mining companies and it therefore changed its name to Junior Gold on 1st October 2010.Read More
