Zenith see opportunities in small companies



|
Only two products have warranted a 'highly recommended' assessment from ratings house Zenith in its 2010 Australian Small Companies Review.
Zenith rated only the Ausbil — Australian Emerging Leaders Fund and the Eley Griffiths Small Companies Fund as 'highly recommended', with 10 other funds gaining a 'recommended' rating.
The 12 funds to gain 'highly recommended' or 'recommended' ratings from Zenith were chosen from 43 funds covered by the ratings house.
Commenting on the sector review, Zenith’s head of research, Ben Davis, said a key trend in the sector had been the rising level of specialising in each of the segments.
He said this had served to provide a wider range of portfolio construction applications for retail investors.
