Schroders Global Recovery fund

9th October 2013 Print

Schroders has announced the launch of Schroder ISF Global Recovery, a new fund which will invest in global companies which have suffered a severe set-back in either share price or profitability, but where the long term prospects are forecast to be good.

The fund, which launches today, will have the same investment philosophy as the Schroder Recovery Fund and will be managed by Nick Kirrage, Kevin Murphy and Andrew Lyddon.
 
The Schroder Recovery Fund is top decile over a 1, 5, 7 and 10 year period and top quartile over 3 years to 31st August 2013. Nick and Kevin have co-managed the fund since July 2006 and will continue with all management responsibilities for this fund and the Schroder Income Fund going forward.
 
Robin Stoakley, Managing Director of UK Intermediary at Schroders said: "We have decided to launch Schroder ISF Global Recovery following strong demand from clients for high alpha global equity products. It will look to match the strong, long-term investment performance of the Schroder Recovery Fund, by applying the same investment style to global markets. There are very few funds that invest this way and are confident that Nick, Kevin and Andrew's experience in this area will deliver a strong offering to our clients."
 
Peter Harrison, Global Head of Equities at Schroders said: "We are excited to be launching a fund in this area to exploit the team's skills as recovery investors.

"The Schroder Recovery Fund has had an allocation to overseas equities for over five years and this has made a positive contribution to portfolio performance. Over the last 40 years the fund has generated significant outperformance, including seven under the current managers, and we are confident that this performance can be repeated with Schroder ISF Global Recovery."
