FirstBanC Financial Services, an investment banking firm, is to introduce a new mutual fund product namely “Heritage Fund” on Monday July 26, 2010.

A statement copied to the Ghana News Agency on Friday said Heritage Fund investors would require just a minimum of GH¢ 20 to be shareholders.

He indicated that to attain long term value, shareholders of the Fund should hold their investments for a minimum duration of three years stressing that the target would be to invest in primarily listed and unlisted equities.
Mr Hughes encouraged all investors, who desired solid growth and long term value, to take advantage of the season and invest in the Fund during the Initial Public Offer (IPO) period.
