Diversified Growth Funds – BGTF5500
Diversified Growth Funds
Assisted Search BGTF5500
Deadline: Tuesday 29th May 2018
A UK investment consultant, specialising in advice to the trustees and sponsors of UK pension schemes, is running a search in CAMRADATA for Diversified Growth Funds. This search is being initiated with the intention of reviewing their current ratings on DGF products and, to also ensure that appropriate funds are not being missed. The most successful managers will be buy rated and form the panel of funds to be used for new diversified growth funds mandate searches that the consultant is appointed to conduct over the next year. All funds being proposed must be listed in CAMRADATA Live, and returns must be up to date i.e. to 31 March 2018.
If you would like to put a vehicle, or a number of vehicles, forward for this search, then you must, in the first instance, contact me with the name of the vehicle that you would like to propose by Tuesday 29th May 2018, and detailed information is to be made available in CAMRADATA Live by this date too..
We no longer allow questions via email. Please post any questions regarding this search onto the CAMRADATA Live ‘Assisted Searches Forum’ and we will endeavour to answer these as quick as possible.
Assisted searches are run on behalf of institutional investors with specific search requirements. You are able to participate in this and all other Assisted Searches if you subscribe to CAMRADATA Live.
Successful managers will be invited to attend a beauty parade on either 19th or 20th June at CAMRADATA’s premises.
