The company has added the Skandia Global Emerging Markets Fund and the Skandia Local Currency Emerging Market Debt Fund. Both funds are Dublin domiciled and are managed by US-based institutional investment companies.
Phil Oxenham, marketing manager at Skandia International comments: "The demand we have been witnessing for emerging market solutions has been consistently high and growing over the past twelve months. We are delighted to be extending our fund ranges to include these two funds from such highly commended and exclusive asset managers.
“Some advisers like to research and select funds themselves but increasingly advisers are looking to focus more on their clients’ financial planning needs and outsource elements of their investment service.
"Advisers can utilise the huge resources and expertise of SIG’s global investment research team to indentify the best fund managers in each investment sector and to continuously monitor their performance, ensuring that each appointed manager meets, and exceeds, our clients’ expectations."
