AEGON adds JPM Europe Dynamic Fund to fund platforms

JPMorgan Asset Management (JPMAM) is pleased to announce the addition of the award winning JPM Europe Dynamic (exUK) Fund to the AEGON Scottish Equitable and AEGON Scottish Equitable International fund platforms.

The Fund is managed by Ajay Gambhir, a Citywire AAA rated fund manager.
Alex Barry, Head of UK Distributor Sales at JPMorgan Asset Management said,“We are delighted that JPM Europe Dynamic (exUK) Fund has been added to this carefully selected range. This is the fifth JPMAM fund on the AEGON fund platforms and the selection further strengthens the relationship between the two companies. This stands testament to our consistent performance and disciplined investment process.”

Barry continued, “JPMAM was among the first to recognise the trend towards unconstrained, best ideas products with the launch of the first of its Dynamic Fund Range - JPM UK Dynamic Fund back in October 2000. JPM Europe Dynamic (ex-UK) has had a terrific year. We are particularly optimistic about the opportunities in Continental Europe, and believe that ours are the funds to beat in this area.”

Ajay Gambhir is a managing director within the JPMorgan European Equity Group, and as Head of the European Equity Group High Alpha team, he has primary responsibility for the UK and European Dynamic funds. As manager of these ‘unconstrained’ funds since launch, he has clocked up an impressive performance record and is a Citywire ‘AAA’ rated manager. His rigorous approach to fundamental analysis and stock-picking focuses on contrarian value and under-recognised growth opportunities. Ajay has managed European equity portfolios for 7 years and the pan-European fund, JPMorgan Europe Dynamic, which is in JPMorgan’s Luxembourg-based range of funds, is in the top 3% of its peer group over the last 5 years.

Of the 124 funds on offer across the AEGON Scottish Equitable and AEGON Scottish Equitable International fund platforms there are now five JPMorgan funds available:

JPM Europe Dynamic (exUK) Fund
JPM Natural Resources Fund
JPM Premier Equity Growth Fund
JPM Japan Fund
JPM US Fund
