M&G Global Emerging Markets fund loses Elite Rating
M&G has announced that Matthew Vaight, manager of the M&G Global Emerging Markets fund, will leave the company towards the end of 2018 to pursue interests outside of the asset management industry. As a result the fund will lose its Elite Rating.
Matthew began career as a graduate trainee with M&G 22 years ago. He launched the M&G Global Emerging Markets fund in 2009.
Michael Bourke, who has 18 years of investment experience, will take over management of the M&G Global Emerging Markets fund on Matthew’s departure.
Michael has worked alongside Matthew in the M&G emerging markets team since 2015 and will be maintaining the same investment philosophy and process. However, the fund’s track record is fully attributable to Matthew and the Rating can therefore not retained under Michael’s management.

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.
