The Guinness Global Equity Income Fund and the Guinness Global Innovators Fund will be promoted to the international market by Acorn International Fund Distribution and will be available across the regular and single premium product ranges.

Both funds are managed by Ian Mortimer and Matthew Page.

Launched in 2014, the Guinness Global Innovators Fund invests in companies across all sectors that are benefiting from innovations in technology, communication, globalisation, or innovative management strategies.

The Guinness Global Equity Income Fund was launched in 2010 and has sat within the top quartile of the Investment Association’s Global Equity Income sector since its launch.

Jonathan Crossley, investment relationship manager at Hansard, said: “We are delighted to partner with Guinness Asset Management and add two of their funds to our internal fund range, which we believe will be of interest to our international distribution.”

Hansard International, which recently launched its new corporate website, is the Isle of Man-based arm of Hansard Global, a London Stock Exchange-listed long-term savings provider.

The group sells contracts exclusively through a network of IFAs. It currently operates mainly in the Far East, Latin America, and the Middle East.
