Kames head of retail distribution, Steve Kenny, said: "The fund’s main objective is to be a real alternative to cash deposits by providing investors with steady capital growth above and beyond the rate available from most banks, whilst limiting market risk.
"Spain is a fast evolving and important market to us at Kames and we believe the registration of this fund will prove popular with savvy investors looking for a real alternative to cash," he added.
