Five fund groups you may never have heard of
By International Adviser, 9 Jun 14
To take advantage of natural disasters or buy bonds that think they are equities, have a look at these fund groups that do something a little bit different - but you will not come across unless you move away from the tried and tested houses that dominate most UK clients' portfolios today...
With bond yields at an all-time low, the emerging market drivers of growth fluctuating and equities giving investors a bumpy ride, the question we often hear from clients is what: "What should I invest in to protect my capital and get an income?"
We research and select investment talent from around the world and forge close partnerships with lesser-known fund managers.
So the answer is that sometimes you need to look beyond the obvious to find new opportunities – the following is a selection of interesting and unusual funds run by firms you may not have heard of that we use at GAM.
They cover alternative fixed income and equity strategies that take advantage of anything from natural disasters to bonds that think they are equities.
