The 2% charge will be paid into the funds for the benefit of all investors and not Barnet Dingwall.
(1888PressRelease) November 01, 2019 - Barnet Dingwall, an Asian investment management company, managing assets for both institutional and retail clients from offices around the Asia Pacific Region, today announced plans to implement a 2% initial charge on the Barnet Dingwall Emerging Markets Fund, the Barnet Dingwall Global - Emerging Markets Equity Fund and the Barnet Dingwall Global – Emerging Markets Smaller Companies Fund, as a further step to reduce flows into the funds.
Against a backdrop of low interest rates, institutional and retail investor interest in emerging markets remains strong, with further flows expected into the asset class. As a result, despite our most recent efforts to date to slow inflows into our emerging market products, we have seen inflows pick up again. To prevent this increasing further, the decision has been taken to introduce a 2% initial charge on our Global Emerging Markets pooled funds and commingled funds will be closed. The 2% charge will be paid into the funds for the benefit of all investors and not Barnet Dingwall. The annual management charges in respect of these Funds remain unchanged.
Cheng Shih, Head of Distribution at Barnet Dingwall, comments: “Further inflows, if unchecked, will give rise to liquidity issues which may in time result in the investment team being forced to compromise its investment process, resulting in the introduction of lesser quality companies. The team remains committed to its investment philosophy and will only introduce new stocks to the portfolio when they have been fully researched, in accordance with Barnet Dingwall’s group-wide equity process, and the team is satisfied that they meet our quality standards."
