We have lowered the Morningstar Analyst Rating™ of East Capital Rysslandsfonden and East Capital (Lux) Russian to Neutral from a previous rating of Bronze. Both funds are managed by a team led by Jakob Grapengiesser, and we continue to think East Capital has above-average capabilities in Russia. However, we think the fund’s investment process has shown to be overly reliant on the fund’s structural biases in small and mid-caps names as well as companies deriving their profits mostly from Russia’s domestic economy; both of these themes have underperformed since 2011. East Capital has made changes in the process to better control single-name risk, but we think it’s too early to tell whether the changes will help to turn around the funds, which have grossly underperformed their peers and their MSCI Russia benchmark in the trailing 3- and 5-year periods through 29 Feb 2016.
