Additionally, the fund was named in Morningstar’s recent Fund Manager of the Year: Property and Infrastructure category.
Zurich said Lonsec had also confirmed its recognition by adding the fund to their model portfolio, effective July 2017.
The fund, which is managed by Zurich’s strategic investment partner Renaissance Property Securities, offered investors access to listed property trusts in Australia.
Lonsec praised the manager’s active approach and its “high degree of conviction in portfolios via significant holdings in smaller AREITs” as well as off-benchmark names that helped the fund to outperform the objective.
Morningstar recognised the fund’s “highly-experienced team and time-tested value approach to investing in Australian listed property stocks”.
According to Zenith, the key strength of the fund was a “strong conviction in the collective abilities” of Carlos Cocaro, a fund’s managing director, and Damien Barrack, Renaissance’s director.
