Neuberger Berman is to roll out two more products as the firm moves deeper into the Ucits multi-asset area.
The Multi-Asset Risk Premia fund will use a risk premia approach to invest in value, momentum, carry and liquidity factors.
The Multi-Asset Class Income fund will invest in uncorrelated income sources in traditional and alternative assets.
Neuberger’s two latest funds follow the launch of the Neuberger Berman Global Dynamic Asset Allocator fund, which launched in September last year.
The latest funds cover a wide range of assets. For example, the income fund – which is managed by Erik Knutzen, multi-asset chief investment officer – will invest in global sovereigns, emerging market debt, high yield and senior loans, and also in dividend equities.
Ajay Jain, head of multi-asset class portfolio management and manager of the risk premia fund, said: “Systematic alternative risk premia-based strategies offer investors exposure to sources of return that can be strongly diversifying from factors that have historically been rewarded over the long-term.”
Both funds will be sub-funds of the Irish-domiciled Ucits fund umbrella, Neuberger Berman Investment Funds. Subject to regulatory approval the funds will be registered for sale in the UK, Europe and Asia.
