Research house Standard & Poor's Fund Services (S&P) has taken the HFA Diversified Investments Fund off hold and given it three stars after improvements were made to the product.

HFA subsidiary Certitude Global Investments and the fund's manager, Lighthouse Partners, made significant changes to the offering around fees and portfolio construction that S&P regarded as product improvements, S&P analyst Michael Armitage said.

"Certitude has decided in the best interests of investors, and to avoid liquidity mismatches with holdings, to provide quarterly redemptions with 30-day notice periods," Armitage said.

"Additionally, redemptions are restricted to 15 per cent of net asset value, placing a redemption gate on the product."

The fund reopened on 30 September for new investments and with a fresh product disclosure statement.
