The Treasury Asia Asset Management (TAAM) New Asia Fund's 12.5 per cent mandate within the Blueprint product was terminated, after the fund manager was downgraded in the reviews. "The T Rowe Price Asia ex-Japan Fund was introduced to the fund at a weighting of 12.5 per cent, as a consequence of TAAM no longer being eligible for inclusion within the fund," van Eyk product manager Jacqui Lemon said.
Van Eyk also made a new 5 per cent allocation to the Premium China Fund, managed by Hong Kong-based Value Partners. The Blueprint fund's 37.5 per cent allocation to the Schroder Global Emerging Markets Fund was shed by 5 per cent to reduce manager concentration risk.
