Following the Morningstar OBSR Analyst Ratings Meeting on 11th July 2013, we have downgraded the Craton Capital Precious Metal fund to a Morningstar OBSR Analyst Rating™ of Neutral.  The fund previously held a Bronze Rating.  This fund is by far the largest of Craton Capital’s suite of three resources funds and we are uncomfortable with the meaningful drop in assets under management both in the strategy and, as a consequence across the firm.  As at the end of June 2013, the fund was USD 44.58 million in size. Thus while it still offers a proven strategy for investing in smaller-cap precious metals stocks, we believe it is appropriate to downgrade it to a Neutral Rating.
