Following a recent Morningstar Analyst Ratings Meeting, we have moved the Newton Asian Income fund to a Morningstar Analyst Rating™ of Neutral. The fund was previously Under Review, following the announcement of the departure of the fund manager, Jason Pidcock. Since May 2015 the fund has been managed by Rob Marshall-Lee, who now leads the combined emerging and Asian equity team. Although the objective of the fund is unaltered, and the support from the global analyst team remains, the people directly involved in managing the fund have changed. Marshall-Lee himself does not have experience of managing an Asia equity portfolio and will need time to fully familiarize himself with this investment universe and the management of an income strategy. As a result, we do not yet have enough conviction to award this fund a positive rating.
