INVESTMENT BANKING
AFBC employs a global and time-proven approach to investment and asset allocation based on the careful application of the "Generationally Wealthy" model.
In our modern world, global diversification of assets is more important than at any other time. In many jurisdictions today, the risk of capital loss from government seizure or confiscation can be higher than from market losses.
Increasingly it has become necessary to adopt a more "pro-active" approach to achieve reasonable returns and manageable risk.
The overall investment objective is to provide conservative capital growth and stable returns, while protecting capital through multiple market and regional diversification with an strong emphasis on prime commodity markets.
Global diversification spreads the market risk to numerous regions, while at the same time, allowing the investment portfolio added growth potential in regions that many investors may not otherwise have considered or had access to.
Careful global asset allocation can have the added benefit of allowing assets to grow and compound in jurisdictions that encourage investment by offering attractive tax incentives.
The AFBC Silver Stocks Fund is an actively managed, specialist fund of silver producers, miners and explorers and is designed to give the investor balanced, broad and leveraged exposure to rising silver bullion prices.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide long-term, high capital growth in a rising silver market.
The AFBC Energy Fund is an actively managed specialist fund of oil and natural gas reserves, oil and natural gas wells and leases, and oil and natural gas exploration projects.
The investment objective of the Fund is primarily to provide the investor with strong revenue returns.
When studying the Investment Model of the Generationally Wealthy, AFBC has observed the strict adherence to several age old principles. This Investment Model of the "Generationally Wealthy" has been applied by to AFBC Investment Banking Services.
Through a simple process of true asset diversification, the Generationally Wealthy have not only preserved, but greatly increased their wealth over many generations, despite booms, busts, holocaust, famine, market and social disturbances and natural disasters.
These principles have been tested and proven over centuries spanning multiple generations, and have provided a solid and sound foundations for the management of many asset portfolios.
SILVER STOCKS FUND
An actively managed, specialist fund of silver producers, miners and explorers. The Fund is designed to give the investor balanced, broad and leveraged exposure to rising silver bullion prices.
Since the early 1990's global demand for silver has been rising. Through this period, global silver demand has far exceeded supply coming from global mining operations. This has resulted in a large accumulated supply deficit.
Silver usage globally remains strong, particularly from high-tech industrial and electronics applications, for where there is no substitute for the metal. The view of many silver market analysts is that this supply deficit will result in strongly rising silver prices going forward.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide long-term, high capital growth in a rising silver market. This objective is achieved principally by investing in the securities of carefully selected, publicly listed and traded silver producing, mining and exploration companies. The Fund manager uses strict selection criteria for companies including low debt to asset ratio, high proven reserves and minimal or no hedging.
The fund blends a combination of larger mature companies together with a careful selection of small and medium cap companies to provide maximum capital growth while maintaining overall Fund stability.
The Anglo Far-East Silver Stocks Fund is a private offering. Investment participation in the Fund is strictly limited to approved and active clients and account holders of The Anglo Far-East Bullion Company only.

ANGLO ENERGY FUND
The Fund is an actively managed specialist fund of oil and natural gas reserves, oil and natural gas wells and leases, and oil and natural gas exploration projects~ returned + 16 % ~ June - December 2004
Every 12 days, the world consumes 1 billion barrels of oil, consumption grows every year.
Newly discovered or developed fields are not keeping pace with depleting fields today.
New power generation is increasingly switching from coal burning to natural gas.
The world finds one barrel in new exploration for every four barrels we consume.
Over half of the world's known oil reserves are in five Middle East countries, a region that is at best a “geo-political tinder box”. It is a region that is expected to become increasingly unstable in the next few years.
Decades of inexpensive oil from the Middle East has led to low exploration and production in the high consuming regions of North America and Asia.
The convergence of these and several other factors have energy analysts worldwide predicting vastly higher energy prices over the next few decades. Recent Article : The Real Value of Oil and Natural Gas?
The Real Value of Oil and Natural Gas?
By Justin Pettett Sterling Energy July 2004 (c) copyright 2004
From an investors perspective it’s simple economics, SUPPLY and DEMAND.
Position yourself in a market where the demand outstrips the supply daily, and you can’t lose.
· The world produces and uses 75 million barrels of oil per day
· The United States consumes over 19 million barrels of oil per day or 26% of the worlds production
· Yet the United States only produces 8 million barrels per day and must import 11 million barrels per day!
Some may call this an accident waiting to happen, others say the accident has happened and is going to get worse. We say that the timing is perfect to invest in the oil and natural gas industry and become an explorer, developer and seller of natural resources.
The United States Geological Survey calls it “The Big Rollover.” This is where we know how much natural resources we consume, we know how much we can produce and we know the rate of new discoveries is declining. Up until now its been a buyers market and somewhere between now and the year 2020 analysts predict we will see a quantum shift to a sellers market where those who own oil and natural gas wells will prosper.
“Whose fault is it? Who’s holding out? Nobody, just like the buffalo and the fish in the sea, they are just less plentiful. Same with oil, there is a limit to how much oil the world can produce every day. We are not running out of oil, it will just become more precious.”

From an investors perspective it’s simple economics, Supply and Demand. Position yourself in a market where the demand outstrips the supply daily, and you can’t lose. “The Big Rollover” will be some ride for those not “in the know” as their everyday lives will be transformed around the cost of energy. And he who controls or owns the supply will prosper. Now, where have we heard this before?
One thing is clear; the era of cheap oil prices is over. There are new factors that affect the price of oil in today’s economy. In the past 20 years oil has been as high as US$40 a barrel and as low as US$10 per barrel. People think that the Organization of Oil Exporting Countries (OPEC) is to blame, but they only control 40% of the world’s production. But with Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries at near full production capacities the threat of terrorist attacks and financial speculation, high oil prices are here to stay.
Even though the United States consumes over a 1/4 of the worlds production there is another “Sleeping Giant” that continues to concern the world economy, China! China accounts for roughly 1/2 of the increase in world oil consumption and could quite easily shape up to be the largest consumer on the planet in years to come.
So, where to from here? Understand and accept where world oil is going and where it has been. Get yourself on the right side of the bell curve as a seller and not a buyer of this strategic and high demand commodity. Those that do will benefit the most out of rising oil prices. And finally, to own something that is real and tangible rather than numbers on a piece of paper will put you and your family in a position of strength and wealth for the years ahead and for generations to come.

The investment objective of the Fund is primarily to provide the investor with strong revenue returns. This objective is principally achieved by investing in outright ownership of interest in income-producing wells that generate monthly positive cash flow from oil and natural gas sales.
A secondary aim of the Fund is to expand its assets through further development and exploration of existing reserves.
The fund blends a combination of a strong and experienced project management company together with strict selection of projects and reserves.
The Anglo Energy Fund is a private offering. Investment participation in the Fund is strictly limited to approved and active clients and account holders of The Anglo Far-East Bullion Company only.

WHAT IS A TRUST ? THE ORIGINS OF THE TRUST ? Trusts have their origins in medieval English Law and have been used for many hundreds of years for the protection and management of property and assets.
HOW DO THEY WORK ? A trust enables an individual "the settlor" to donate (or "entrust") assets or property to a neutral third party or guardian "the trustee", who holds the assets and administers them for the benefit of other individuals nominated by the settlor "the beneficiaries".
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF A TRUST? HOW CAN OPERATING A TRUST PROVIDE AN ADVANTAGE ? The effect of creating a trust is to shift the burden of property or asset ownership onto a trustee, while retaining the full benefit of that property or assets for beneficiaries.
Shifting the burden of ownership to a neutral trustee has many clear benefits;
For example, it greatly increases the protection around those assets, insulating them from seizure or theft by parties attempting to attach the assets of the settlor or beneficiaries.
In many cases assets can grow and multiply far quicker when held in trust in a tax advantaged vehicle and/or location without directly impacting the current taxation* of the of the settlor or beneficiaries. *Subject to jurisdictional considerations
