Ventura accesses all areas
Financial services group Professional Investment Services’ Ventura Investment Management has launched two multi-manager funds to offer advisers greater international exposure.
Commenting on the launch, Ventura managing director Kate Mulligan said an investor that limits its exposure to Australia eliminates 97 per cent of the world’s investment markets, as Australia represents only 3 per cent.
“The Ventura Global Opportunities Fund is designed to provide investors with the opportunity to access managers that have been identified as being among the best global equity managers in the world.
“It has been constructed to provide investors with a differentiated and complementary source of excess return within a risk controlled environment — ultimately leading to high expected returns,” Mulligan said.
