Old Mutual Investment Group clinches three Raging Bull Awards

Old Mutual Investment Group has once again been recognised by Raging Bull Awards in last night’s ceremony, with the Old Mutual Global Equity Fund, Old Mutual International Growth Fund of Funds and the Old Mutual Community Gilt Funds all walking away with top accolades.

The Old Mutual Global Equity Fund went home with the award for Top Performance by a Domestic Collective Investment Scheme for the three-year period ended 31 December 2014 for Best (SA-Domiciled) Global Equity General Fund. It was also recognised with a certificate for the Best Performance on the basis of Risk-adjusted Returns by a Domestic Collective Investment Scheme for the five-year period ended 31 December 2014 in the category (SA Domiciled) Global Equity General.

Adding to Old Mutual Investment Group’s collection of awards, the Old Mutual International Growth Fund of Funds also scooped certificates for the Top Performance by a Domestic Collective Investment Scheme for the three-year period ended 31 December 2014 in the category (SA-Domiciled) Global Multi-Asset Flexible, and Best Performance on the basis of Risk-adjusted Returns by a Domestic Collective Investment Scheme for the five-year period ended 31 December 2014 in the category (SA-Domiciled) Global Multi-Asset Flexible.

The Old Mutual Global Equity Fund, managed by Ian Heslop, Amadeo Alentorn and Mike Servent at Old Mutual Global Investors in the UK, has returned 36% over three years to end of December 2014 compared to a Benchmark return of 30.9% over the same period, while the Old Mutual International Growth Fund of Funds, managed by Stewart Cowley at Old Mutual Global Investors, returned 25.8% versus the Benchmark at 20%, also over the same period. The Old Mutual Community Gilt Fund, managed by Daphne Botha at Old Mutual Investment Group’s Futuregrowth boutique, returned 9.3% compared to the Benchmark at 8.1%, over three years to end December 2014.

The Raging Bull Awards recognises the stars of the collective investment or unit trust industry in terms of top outright performers, best risk-adjusted performers and the best unit trust management companies. The awards cover domestic (South African-domiciled) and offshore funds, which are funds not domiciled in South Africa but approved by the Financial Services Board for marketing to South African investors.

These awards are testament to the depth of our global footprint and the skill of our colleagues at both Old Mutual Investment Group and Old Mutual Global Investors.
