Opis changes branding to OC
Melbourne-based boutique fund manager Opis Capital Limited has today officially changed its brand name to OC Funds Management.
As flagged in Money Management on April 1, the name change has been made to avoid any confusion with failed stockbroking group Opes Prime, which collapsed on February 28 last year.
It was also motivated by the existence in the marketplace of specialist commercial property fund manager Opus Capital.
OC Funds Management director Dean Fergie said the new brand “better removes any confusion with other financial groups with similar names and better reflects our core operations as a fund manager".
The manager’s Opis200 Fund, which takes concentrated positions in top 200 companies, has also been renamed the OC200 Fund as from today.
