43 Events maltatoday, SUNDAY, 17 NOVEMBER 2013 Now everybody can travel with ROCS Travel Travel's latest competition paves the way for their new campaign The recent ROCS Group 'Now Everybody Can Travel With ROCS Travel' competition was a complete success and has paved the way for a superb campaign that will make travelling with ROCS even easier and cheaper. Launched on Facebook this October, the competition quickly garnered over 10,000 views and had over 1,500 participants. To take part, clients were asked to decipher the acronym 'NECTWRT' which stood for 'Now Everybody Can Travel With ROCS Travel'. With some of the best entries reading: 'Now Enjoy Christmas Time With ROCS Travel', 'Nothing Except Cracking Tours With ROCS Travel' and 'Never Ever Change Travel With ROCS Travel', it was Mr James Mallia who managed to crack the code. He was announced as the winner on 16 November 2013 and received return flights to London and three nights' accommodation for two. The competition's main goal, however, was to kick-start ROCS Travel's latest campaign that goes by the name, 'Now Everybody Can Travel With ROCS Travel'. This campaign will see ROCS' customers benefiting from an ar- ray of excellent deals to London, Rome, Dubai, Cyprus, Cefalù in Sicily and a place kids and adults adore alike: Disneyland Paris. As of now, trips to Disneyland Paris cost from as little as €219 per person, including return flights, two nights' accommodation in brand new design apartments, and taxes. This is part of ROCS Travel's latest aim, which is to get more people to travel. "ROCS Travel is all about getting people to see the world and experience different cultures, foods and destinations,' says Colin Aquilina, ROCS Group's Head of Finance and Business Development. "In fact, we are quite proud of our competitions as they really do take our lucky winners to see some truly wonderful places!"

The fund's main objective is to achieve an income in excess of that of the MSCI World Index with the potential for long-term capital growth. The fund mainly invests in shares of companies in any country. It may also invest in bonds of any quality from any issuer, money market instruments and bank deposits. The fund is available in Euro, US Dollar and Sterling and pays on a quarterly basis. The fund's current dividend yield is 3.6% p.a. (as at 30 September, 2013). The fund focuses on three fundamental factors; income growth, capital growth and risk reduction. Assets under management under this fund total to £642m (as at September 30, 2013). The fund's main industry exposures include financials, consumer discretionary, industrials and health care. Meanwhile, the main regional exposure of the fund is North America, UK and to lesser extent the rest of Europe. The fund at present only has minimal exposure to the emerging markets (1.2% of Net Asset Value as at September 30, 2013). Participation in the fund starts from a minimum investment of £1,000 or the equivalent in Euro or US Dollars. The fund is spread into 50-80 different equities and therefore offering a good level of diversification. Henderson Funds consistently outperform in different market environments backed by an experienced team of credit analysts who provide the necessary research and insight into investment solutions. The presentation was addressed by Jesmond Mizzi, Managing Director of Jesmond Mizzi Financial Advisors who spoke about the relationship between the two companies and why it was important to introduce this fund in Malta. He stated that despite the fact that local investors normally invest in bonds, he believes that local investors should also consider investing in international equity funds managed by reputable fund managers so as to diversify their portfolio. Fabio Solitro, Head of European Investment Services at Henderson Global Investors spoke about Henderson while Andrew Jones the co-fund manager of the fund made the case for investing in equity income funds. The Fund is promoted in Malta in accordance with the Investment Services Act (Marketing of UCITS) Regulations. Investors should note that the value of investments can go down as well as up.
