What is the Fund’s competitive advantage?
Qualitative Research Report and Data Tear Sheet
Research IP says
“Research IP believes this Fund provides investors with a well managed conservative strategy that provides income with the opportunity for some capital growth, while minimising the occurrence and magnitude of negative returns. The Fund also provides investors with a professionally managed solution that offers exposure to investments that are not easily accessible, which help diversify portfolio returns.“
“The Funds’ basic fee is well below the sector peer average. As this is an actively managed fund, the Manager’s ability to operate the Fund closer to passive fee levels is a strong positive.“
“Research IP believes this Fund has a significant way to go until the Manager encounters any capacity issues. The Fund is well diversified through asset allocation via both internal and external investment managers.“
“Research IP believes Mark Brown is well-supported across the fixed interest and equity teams to manage the fund as it grows. Cash flows in and out of the Fund have been managed appropriately to date.”
