Poles can get a slice of the ML investment-fund pie

Merrill Lynch (ML) has announced that its investment managers are now going to sell its all-class investment funds in Poland. ML says that of the 54 international investment funds it has, Polish investors are most likely to be interested in selected products, such as: Emerging Europe, a fund typically investing in companies operating in developing European markets; World Mining, which finances mining firms; and World Energy.

"The Polish economy is one of the biggest and most dynamic in Central Europe. We are happy we can offer all [of our investment funds] to Polish investors," says the company's sales director in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, Maarten Slendebroek. "Deutsche Bank PBC and Xelion will be selling the participation units of all funds."

Merrill Lynch, a global financial management and consultancy firm, has branches in 36 countries and manages assets worldwide worth $1.6 (zł.5.1) billion.
