Van Eyk adds seven new funds to Blueprint Series
Van Eyk has added seven additional funds to its Blueprint Series, reflecting the researcher’s belief in a greater need for diversification in the current market.
The new funds are the Absolute Australian Shares Fund, Absolute International Shares Fund, Global Emerging Markets Fund, Smaller Companies Fund, Listed Property and Infrastructure Fund, Diversified Income Fund and Gold Bullion Fund.
Developed over the past 12 months by its Strategic Research Unit, the funds are available through Blueprint Series’ diversified funds portfolio or as building blocks for ready-made portfolios by advisers.
The addition of the funds has expanded the investment choices across the Blueprint Series to approximately 50 fund managers across 28 sectors, sub-sectors and investment strategies.
The new funds offer a greater number of strategies to investors to provide them with the tools to exploit the market conditions of the new investment environment, according to the head of investment research, Nigel Douglas.
“They are designed to improve the chances of better returns when compared to returns achieved by funds that simply rely on rising share markets,” he said.
