Aviva Investors funds get solid ratings
Global asset manager Aviva Investors has welcomed solid ratings of two of its funds from research and ratings houses Zenith and Lonsec.
The company said that its Aviva Investors Multi-Strategy Target Return Fund (AIMS TRF) and Aviva Investors Multi-Strategy Target Income Fund (AIMS TIF) had received "recommend" ratings from Zenith Investment Partners.
Lonsec issued AIMS TIF an "investment grade" rating which was in addition to the "recommended" rating Lonsec gave to AIM TRF last year.
AIMS TRF and AIMS TIF were launched in the Australian market in July 2015 and July 2016 respectively.
Aviva noted that Zenith had highlighted in their "recommended" rating reports that Aviva Investors had created an integrated investment platform, which promotes collaboration and ensures that the best investment ideas from across the firm are represented in the funds' portfolios, without diluting a focused portfolio management team's ability effectively to manage the funds.
