Insight Investment, a leading global investment manager, yesterday announced that the Insight Diversified Inflation Plus Fund has been added to the BT Wrap and BT Panorama platforms.
The A$154.4m Australian-domiciled Fund, which has just marked its third anniversary, aims to deliver attractive, positive long term returns at least 5% in excess of inflation over a rolling five year period2. It is based on Insight’s A$9.5bn Broad Opportunities strategy which has been running for more than 10 years.
Bruce Murphy, Director, Australia and New Zealand, Insight Investment, said: “The team’s approach is based on three simple and effective principles; diversification, dynamic asset allocation and downside risk management. It is widely acknowledged across the industry that dynamic asset allocation is a significant contributor to investment returns.
“We are pleased that advisers using the BT Wrap and BT Panorama platforms now have the opportunity to access our institutional-quality capability which has been tried and tested for many years, including through the global financial crisis. This capability is one of Insight’s core competencies and a growing part of our business across multiple geographies.”
Earlier this year Lonsec Research awarded a ‘Recommended’ rating to the Fund. Lonsec acknowledged the strengths of Insight’s logical and repeatable investment process, the history of more than 10 years of multi-asset investing, primarily in the UK, and the experience and stability of the investment team.
Part of BNY Mellon, Insight manages more than A$32.9bn on behalf of Australian investors and A$935.3bn globally. Headquartered in London, Insight has operations in the UK, US and Australia.
