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 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.
