Zenith has again awarded a Highly Recommended rating to the Legg Mason Brandywine Global Opportunistic Fixed Income Trust.
The Legg Mason Brandywine fund report, dated 3 March 2016, stated “Zenith’s conviction is predicated on the extensive experience of the portfolio management team, unique investment philosophy, and successful long-term track record”.
Legg Mason Australia head of sales Beau Titchkosky said “We believe Legg Mason has a compelling solution for advisers seeking to position their clients ahead of the curve in global fixed income, and the Fund’s performance track record reflects this value proposition. We are delighted that our Fund has received the highest rating from one of Australia’s leading research houses.”
Brandywine is a Philadelphia- based affiliate of Legg Mason, with a benchmark-agnostic investment style. The global opportunistic strategy avoids “hugging” the fixed income benchmark and instead invests according to a ‘real yield’ philosophy. The Fund selects investments based on their merit, underlying macroeconomic fundamentals and valuation to invest in countries with high real interest rates and supportive currencies.
Brandywine won the 2015 Money Management Fund Manager of the Year award and the Zenith/ Professional Planner Fund award in Global Fixed Income.
The Legg Mason Brandywine Global Opportunistic Fixed Income trust is available on BT, AMP, IOOF, MLC, Navigator, Netwealth, Linear, Power Wrap, and Macquarie wrap platforms, and the mFund Settlement Service.
