Diversified Growth Funds – DGF050723 – Deadline: Tuesday 31st July
A UK investment consultant, specialising in providing independent advice to the trustees and sponsors of UK pension schemes, is running a search on 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 fund mandates over the next year. All funds being proposed must be listed in CAMRADATA Live, and returns must be up to date.
Please note: WE NO LONGER ACCEPT QUESTIONS OVER EMAIL. Please post any questions regarding this search onto the CAMRADATA Live ‘Assisted Searches Forum’ and we will endeavour to answer these as quickly as possible.
If you would like to put a fund, or a number of funds, forward for this search, then you must, in the first instance, contact CAMRADATA with the name of the fund that you would like to propose by Tuesday 31st July 2023, with detailed information to be available by Monday 7th August 2023.
