Insight Investment fund added to Macquarie Wrap
Insight Investment’s Diversified Inflation Plus Fund has been added to the Macquarie Wrap platform, with the fund manager’s Australia and New Zealand director, Bruce Murphy, saying the move will give advisers access to institutional-quality capability.
“This capability is one of Insight’s core competencies and a growing part of our business across multiple geographies. The team’s approach is based on three simple and effective principles: diversification, dynamic asset allocation and downside risk management,” Murphy said.
He also said that there had been increased interest in the strategy from Australian financial advisers and investors recently, with the fund also available on Netwealth, HUB 24 and BT Panorama.
