Tyndall Australian Share Concentrated Fund added to Asgard eWrap.

Following its inclusion on Colonial First State’s FirstWrap platform, the Tyndall Australian Share Concentrated Fund has also been added to Asgard eWrap.

The fund was launched to the retail market in May this year, and has already been rated ‘recommended’ by Zenith. The fund’s aim is to provide long-term capital growth and income by investing in a concentrated selection of shares included in the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index.

Matt Russell, head of sales and marketing at Tyndall AM, said that there has been a very high level of interest in the fund by advisers.

“A number of advisers have told us that their clients are increasingly seeking specific outcomes and opportunities from the Australian equities fund component of their portfolio, not simply a generalist or index-hugging approach.

“The Tyndall Australian Share Concentrated Fund fits this criteria through its concentrated nature and more mid-cap bias, as well as its total return approach,” he said.

Colonial First State has added Tyndall AM’s Tyndall Australian Share Concentrated Fund to its FirstWrap platform, demonstrating the strong ongoing adviser and investor demand for high quality, total return equities strategies.

Matt Russell, head of sales and marketing at Tyndall AM, said this is a very quick addition to a platform for a new fund, illustrating the ongoing demand for a concentrated, benchmark-unaware equity investment.

“Our discussions with advisers indicated that their clients are focused on total returns and prefer funds that are managed in a risk-aware manner, rather than looking at performance relative to a benchmark. This was a key driver in our decision to launch this fund to the retail market earlier this year.

“We are also aware that advisers are seeking funds that can be blended together, and offer diversification benefits such as having lower correlation to the market or to each other.

“Because of its concentrated nature and more mid-cap bias, the Tyndall Australian Share Concentrated Fund is proving a very attractive strategy for advisers, and we continue to see a high level of interest from dealer groups in adding the fund to their product lists,” he said.

While the fund was launched to the retail market in May this year, it has been available to institutional and professional investors since 2010. The strategy underpinning it has a 15-year track record and was originally developed by Tyndall for institutional investor mandates.

The fund’s aim is to provide long-term capital growth and income by investing in a concentrated selection of shares included in the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index. Since its launch to the retail market, the fund has been rated ‘recommended’ by Zenith.

Following a number of recent appointments and the development of a new support structure, Tyndall AM has finalised its senior management team with the appointment of Linda Garry as senior manager, marketing & communications.

Matt Russell, head of sales and marketing at Tyndall AM, said that the business has built a strong management team to give its highly regarded asset management teams the best possible support.

“The enhanced level of support activities and the resources now in place means Tyndall has positioned itself to offer its funds management capabilities more widely in 2013.

“We are now well-placed to provide improved service to the institutional and retail markets with recognised capabilities in four asset classes – Australian equities, international equities, fixed income and alternative assets.

“Being able to effectively communicate the benefits of Tyndall’s investment approaches is a critical part of our business strategy, making this appointment significant in rounding off our plans for 2013.

“An expert management team, together with a supportive parent in Nikko AM, puts us in a very strong position to continue our growth in both domestic and Asian markets,” Mr Russell said.

Ms Garry has over 12 years’ marketing and brand experience in the financial services industry, working both within the marketing divisions of large financial institutions as well as with specialist advertising agencies providing services to the industry.

Most recently she has worked as a strategic marketing adviser to a range of funds management and financial services organisations in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, and prior to this was with Perpetual Investments, with responsibility for Australian equities marketing. Ms Garry’s previous roles included head of marketing with both Credit Suisse Asset Management and Advance Asset Management, and senior positions in large international advertising and brand agencies.
