JPM Infrastructure Fund receives A rating from OBSR

The JPM Emerging Markets Infrastructure Fund has been awarded an OBSR A rating reflecting the research company's approval of the fund's well resourced research team, solid processes and good track record of meeting its objectives. The fund, which is managed by Richard Titherington, CIO and head of the Emerging Markets team, offers investors a direct route to the raw material companies fuelling the booming construction industry and telecommunications and transport industries that are benefiting from the emerging markets' growth.

The fund aims to provide long-term capital growth by investing in a broad range of infrastructure ideas, from highway tollbooth operators to airlines, as the manager believes that companies in industries beyond primary facility operators will benefit from infrastructure spending.

Richard Titherington commented "We're thrilled to be awarded this A rating. As one of the largest managers of emerging market equities, J.P. Morgan Asset Management has a huge research resource that allows us to seek out the best opportunities for investors. It's great that OBSR has recognised this and the 52% returns we've delivered since the fund launched two years ago"

OBSR is the leading qualitative investment research company in the UK retail funds market. The ratings are based on a combination of qualitative and quantitative research which takes into account the funds' aims and objectives as well as performance.

The JPM Emerging Markets Infrastructure Fund is available on a number of leading fund platforms and to direct investors via J.P. Morgan Asset Management WealthManager+.
