Old Mutual funds get rebranded
Elite Rated Old Mutual Global Equity Absolute Return, Old Mutual UK Smaller Companies and Old Mutual UK Alpha have all had a name change.
The rebrand came into effect on 1 October 2018, when the Old Mutual Global Investors single strategy business, which was acquired in a management buyout in June 2018, rebranded the business to become Merian Global Investors.
The name was inspired by the remarkable life of the scientist, adventurer and artist Maria Sibylla Merian. The newly named company has assets under management of £34.3 billion as at 31 July 2018.
Elite Radar fund Old Mutual Gold & Silver has also been rebranded.
The multi-asset business of Old Mutual Global Investors was not part of this deal, and is now part of Quilter Investors.
The views of the author and any people interviewed are their own and do not constitute financial advice. 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. Before you make any investment decision make sure you’re comfortable and fully understand the risks. If you invest in fund or trust make sure you know what specific risks they’re exposed to. Past performance is not a reliable guide to future returns. Remember all investments can fall in value as well as rise, so you could make a loss.
