How We Build Portfolios
We invest in a diversified portfolio of energy and mining firms that provide attractive tax savings and will benefit from even a modest recovery.
Terra LPs invest primarily in public resource companies. Sector weightings are determined by investment opportunities. With investment, your capital is at risk.
Past Performance
A $1,000 investment in a Terra LP provided the following tax savings, market value and profits on maturity.
Figures are for no-load units. Tax savings reflect a 50% tax rate and include tax credits. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Past Investments
We select firms that offer attractive capital appreciation potential.
