The Federation of European Independent Financial Advisers (Feifa) has named London-based Guinness Asset Management as a partner.
Acorn International is a distributor for Guinness, and the relationship with Feifa members will be headed up by Joe Palmer, a director at Acorn.
“We are very pleased that Guinness has affiliated with us,” said Feifa chief executive Paul Stanfield.
“It fits well with our existing partnerships and adds further quality to our corporate relationships.”
Concentrated portfolios
“We are delighted to have been accepted as a Feifa Partner company and look forward to building the relationship with the federation and its members,” said Palmer.
Guinness runs equally weighted, highly concentrated, portfolios; the Guinness Global Equity Income Fund, Guinness Global Innovators Fund and Guinness Asian Equity Income Fund are all in the top quartile of their sector from launch.
The Guinness Global Equity Income Fund won gold in its sector at International Adviser’s sister publication Portfolio Adviser’s Fund Awards in January.
