Blackstar Capital Partners S.À.R.L founded the Blackstar Commodities Fund in 2011/12. The fund, a Luxembourg regulated SICAV-SIF, affords regulatory oversight by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF).Our focus is the multi-trillion dollar global Commodity Trade Finance sector, one which has been largely dominated by Institutions, sovereign wealth and a core lending activity of European commercial banks for many decades, yet until now has not been available to the wider retail audience. The fund profits by partnering with well-established international commodity trading companies, providing short-term 'self-liquidating' secured transactional finance for their trade flows on a risk-controlled basis. Transactional finance assists primary producers/global trading houses to get their product from point of production to point of storage/shipment/sale. Our focus is critical commodities for which there is huge global demand.The fund offers investors stable, risk adjusted returns, non-correlation and most importantly excellent liquidity. This attention to the core strength of the fund, specifically liquidity, when allied to its transparent valuation methodology and the low risk nature of the sector, makes it a very relevant component within any investment portfolio. Blackstar enables investors to participate in global commodity trade, without being exposed to underlying volatility traditionally associated with commodities, through pre-agreed margins. Designed to form part of a well-diversified portfolio for risk averse investors seeking net annual returns of between 8-12%, the fund is structured to give investors the option of disbursing their profits on a bi-annual basis/rolling them up within the fund. The Blackstar management team have multi-year experience in international commodities trading and legal framework and the fund operates within a broad geographic mandate, identifying the most lucrative risk-adjusted investment opportunities.

We can assist with increased portfolio diversification and help give clients additional stability within their portfolio and try to offset any downside risk from traditional investment markets such as equities/bonds/fixed interest. From an IFA perspective, we will endeavour to provide something new and interesting to bring to the table which will benefit clients and of course assist you with less 'micromanagement' of that element of the portfolio. We are one of the fastest growing companies in our sector with clients across the UK, Switzerland, Belgium, Spain, France, Luxembourg, Malta, Cyprus, Brazil, Mexico, Russia, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Qatar & Dubai, amongst others.With offices in London, we follow processes and guidelines set out by the FCA to deliver the very best in professionalism, service & regulation.
