Maia will follow a similar set-up to that of Resolution’s existing three joint-ventures –Argonaut (European equities), Cartesian (UK equity), and Hexam (emerging markets). It will be a 50/50 partnership between Resolution Asset Management and former Fidelity multi-managers Chris Ralph, Jason Collins, and Simon Mungall.
There has been a lot of activity in the multi-manager space in recent times, but Resolution’s unique boutique structure, with fund manager ownership, will ensure stability and continuity at Maia. It also means that the interests of the managers and investors are totally aligned which is a major plus for investors.
Resolution is confident that Maia Capital will offer something different to set it apart from its multi-manager peers. The experienced multi-manager team has no corporate constraints giving it total control of portfolio construction, ensuring both integrity and conviction. Their approach is reliant on their extensive industry network and focuses on a bottom up, intensive research process. There is now a freedom to their portfolio construction and fund selection which wasn’t there previously. This key differentiator is also reflected in the portfolio make-up which is quite different to the funds being offered by other multi-managers.
The funds are designed to appeal to the widest possible investment audience and fall into the three main IMA managed sectors: active, balanced and cautious.
Maia Multi Manager Growth Fund
Aiming to achieve a higher level of growth this diversified portfolio has a medium level of risk and invests almost exclusively in equity funds with a bias towards UK equities.
Maia Multi Manager Balanced Fund
Seeking a reasonable level of growth this diversified portfolio has a moderate level of risk and typically invests in UK equity funds together with some overseas equity and fixed interest funds.
Maia Multi Manager Cautious Fund
Designed to provide an income and some capital growth this diversified fund has a lower level of risk and mainly invests in fixed interest funds and some equity funds
*4% initial commission available on all Maia multi-manager funds. Initial charge can be reduced to zero if adviser gives up full commission. Effective from launch until 31 December 2007 inclusive.
