Laureate BVI Fund Posts Strong Returns for the Month of February
Laureate BVI CEO Peter Tasca says, "It would not surprise me if we see stock prices in certain situations go up 15-20% but we caution investors that with expanding multiples and higher stock prices there is also higher risk."
Online, March 27, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Laureate BVI reports the fund continues to out rank as the top performing global mutual fund with a year-to-date return of +4.62%.
Laureate reports although risk remains for emerging markets, including China, there are still opportunities in equities to capitalize and deliver substantial returns to our investors.
Year-to-date the Nasdaq is up 3.15 per cent and the S & P 500 is up 0.96 per cent.
Laureate BVI CEO Peter Tasca says, "Earning multiples have averaged about 15, it would not surprise me if we see stock prices in certain situations increase 15-20% in 2014."
Laureate BVI issued a Sell rating on in Apple (AAPL) on 02/19/14, locking in a profit of over 100%.

As risk factors will accumulate as the year goes on, the appropriate action for our investors will be to maintain our long positions that have been performing well.
