Following the news that Richard Smith will be retiring from fund management in 2014, we have moved the Invesco Perpetual UK Smaller Companies Equity fund to a Morningstar OBSR Analyst Rating™ of Neutral. The fund previously held a Bronze Rating.  Jonathan Brown, who has been the co-manager since February 2011 will be taking sole responsibility for the fund from the 30th December 2013. However, we believe Richard Smith’s notable UK small-cap equity experience and expertise will be a significant loss for the fund going forward and we therefore believe a rating of Neutral is appropriate at this time.
