Sam Slator 09/01/2018 in Elite Funds news

Richard Penny, manager of L&G UK Alpha and L&G UK Special Situations, has resigned from the company and will be taking up a new role at CRUX Asset Management.

Commenting on the move, Darius McDermott, managing director of FundCalibre, said: “Richard has successfully run both funds since 2005 and 2014 respectively, so it is with regret that the funds must lose their Elite Rating.

“CRUX is an up and coming new asset management company, established in 2014 by Richard Pease and James Milne, both previously of Henderson. They have two very good European equity funds, which are on our radar and acquired Oriel Asset Management’s three equity portfolios in January 2017: European, global and UK equity funds.”

The content is not intended to be a personal recommendation to buy or sell any fund or trust, or to adopt a particular investment strategy. However, the knowledge that professional analysts have analysed a fund or trust in depth before assigning them a rating can be a valuable additional filter for anyone looking to make their own decisions. Past performance is not a reliable guide to future returns. Market and exchange-rate movements may cause the value of investments to go down as well as up. Yields will fluctuate and so income from investments is variable and not guaranteed. You may not get back the amount originally invested. Tax treatment depends of your individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future. If you are unsure about the suitability of any investment you should seek professional advice. Whilst FundCalibre provides product information, guidance and fund research we cannot know which of these products or funds, if any, are suitable for your particular circumstances and must leave that judgement to you. Before you make any investment decision, make sure you’re comfortable and fully understand the risks.
