All Star fund wins platform mandates
Professional Investment Services-related funds manager All Star Funds has succeeded in having its All Star Maple-Brown Abbot Listed Property Fund included on the BT Wrap, Navigator, and Netwealth platforms.
All Star managing director Kate Mulligan said she believed the decision by the platforms to include the fund reflected recent levels of adviser interest in the product.
Commenting on his platform's decision, Netwealth managing director Matt Heine said a contributing factor had been Maple-Brown Abbot's conservative approach.
"At times of market volatility such as now, it is important for investors to have access to well-known managers with a solid and consistent track-record," he said.
