Following the Morningstar OBSR Analyst Ratings Meeting on 14th August 2014, we have moved the Schroder ISF Global Property Securities fund to a Morningstar OBSR Analyst Rating of Neutral. The fund had previously been placed Under Review following the announcement that Schroders would be bringing the management of the fund in-house. Schroders has hired Tom Walker and Hugo Machin from AMP Capital to head this in-house team. Messrs Walker and Machin were the London-based members of the team responsible for the AMP Capital Global Property Securities fund. They have high-quality, albeit predominantly European-focused, industry experience. However, they do not have any lead portfolio management experience or a track record in their own right. They are currently assembling a team around them, but this entirely new analyst team will need time to get up to speed with the approach. While we believe the new co-managers are attempting to implement a sensible approach to the management of this fund, given the new team structure we believe a Neutral rating to be appropriate at present.
