Zurich Investments has announced the appointment of Sigma Funds Management (Sigma) as the strategic investment partner to manage the Zurich Investments Small Companies Fund.
Focused purely on Australian small companies outside the S&P/ ASX 100, the fund aims to provide investors with long-term capital growth outperforming the small companies index over periods of three or more years.

With a proven track record of delivering significant outperformance against the benchmark since inception with this strategy, we’re looking forward to working with Zurich to deliver long-term returns for investors”.
