Following the launch of global fund manager brands such as ChinaAMC and Neuberger Berman ARMS into Australia, OneVue group has announced a significant increase in the number of investment managers using its responsible entity (RE) services.

“Momentum has been strong for us in the RE space in 2015. OneVue RE Services has launched or transitioned seven new funds including Clime International, Sanlam and REITWAY funds with more to come before Christmas and a significant pipeline into the New Year” said OneVue’s Head of Investment Management, Alex Wise.

“More funds are coming to market outside the traditional sphere and we are seeing more demand for International strategies and also alternative investments” Wise continued.  “We believe this demand for alternative products is firmly linked to market volatility and investors seeking lower risk, alpha style opportunities, whilst investing outside of Australia has been driven by attractive opportunities and valuations in certain markets”.

OneVue had recently launched the NWQ Fiduciary Fund as a retail scheme and also YBR Protected Equities with a similar approach to investing.

”NWQ Capital Management is moving quickly to respond to the increasing demand from high net worth retail investors for risk-managed solutions given the challenges which traditional asset classes currently face.  OneVue has been a logical partner in this process as we transitioned our business to PDS disclosure and the regulatory scrutiny which accompanies it,” said Stuart McClure, Managing Director of NWQ Capital Management.

“Following the recent stream of successful launches have clearly demonstrated how our service appeals to high quality boutiques as NWQ as well as known global brands such as China AMC” continued Wise.

Additionally Wise noted that OneVue has seen further activity in the Significant Investor Visa (SIV) sector.  “We are known in the market for dealing only with high quality SIV Funds and we have added further Funds to the 188 Universal Platform we administer.

OneVue has added the following Funds in 2015 using responsible entity and trustee services:
– Clime International Fund
– Sanlam REITWAY Global Fund
– ChinaAMC China Opportunities
– 188 Universal– Bond Fund
– NWQ Fiduciary Fund
– YBR Protected Equities Fund
– Tyche Growth Fund

Wise concluded by divulging that “OneVue will be launching a number of new funds over the next quarter with a continued focus on International Assets and alternative strategies”.
