K2 added to platforms
K2’s Select International Absolute Return Fund has been added to the list of approved managers for the Asgard and Wealthtrac platforms.
The fund manager’s chief investment officer, Mark Newman, said getting products on platforms was an important move for the company.
“The platform market is important to us and being included on these platforms caps-off a strong year of growth for K2,” he said.
“The increased support from advisers is an endorsement of our international equities track record, our experienced team and investment approach.”
The K2 Absolute Return fund has delivered 20.66 per cent annual return net of fees and 88.90 per cent net of fees since its inception in January 2005. The fund has a five-star rating by Standard & Poor’s.
K2 now has $740 million in funds under management.
