Ratings houses recommend Colchester fund following MacPherson hire
Lonsec and Zenith Investment Partners have recommended Colchester Global Investors' Global Government Bond Fund, since the firm's recruitment of Angela MacPherson.
The firm announced that Lonsec had issued a "highly recommended" rating for the fund, while Zenith, listed it as "recommended".
The global sovereign bond manager said the ratings culminated with the hiring of MacPherson as Head of Distribution Australia.
"She will be responsible for introducing Colchester's Global Government Bond Fund to the Australian intermediary market place for the first time in a bid to capitalise on these strong research ratings and platform interest," the firm said in a statement.
