Certitude’s first product to be launched to Aussie and Kiwi investors was the Columbia Management Credit fund.
The fund will provide access to a range of actively managed credit securities, with an emphasis on delivering risk-adjusted returns.
“The Columbia Credit Fund provides access to a diverse portfolio of actively managed credit securities issued by mostly investment grade global corporates. We seek to deliver repeatable strong performance, with the underlying strategy delivering consistent results since inception,” Tom Murphy, head of investment grade credit at Columbia Management said.
A variation of the fund was previously only available to US investors.
“Australian and New Zealand investors are beginning to understand that investing onshore only provides them with two per cent of the entire investment opportunities and it is time to go global,” said Craig Mowll, chief executive of Certitude Global Investments.
“There are great opportunities out there, and the Columbia Management Credit Fund has already proved this by sparking great interest from Australian investors,” he added.
The fund became available to retail investors on April 15.
