Multi-manager specialist Russell Investments has removed MIR Investment Management from its Australian Opportunities Fund after a review of the fund.

The MIR mandate was a customised long/short strategy, and one of the smallest mandates the manager had with Russell Investments.

"We have taken the opportunity to build further conviction in the current manager line-up," Russell Investments chief investment officer for Australasia Symon Parish said.

"Specifically, we have increased exposure to our highest conviction managers." 

MIR formerly held a 15 per cent strategic weighting within the fund.

L1 Capital and Orbis Investment Management's strategic weightings  were increased to 7.5 per cent each from 5 per cent each.

Fortis Investments and Paradice Investment Management held their 15 per cent and 10 per cent weighting within the fund respectively.
