SINFONIA APPOINTS NEW AAA RATED FUND MANAGER

Date Published: 29 June 2009

Following the success of its first 12 months, Sinfonia Asset Management has today announced that Paul Kim, Director, Portfolio Management at FundQuest, the multi-management specialist, is taking over as fund manager of the IFSL Sinfonia OEIC Portfolios from 1 July.

With over 26 years’ industry experience, Paul Kim was one of the founding members of UK-based multi-manager IMS, in conjunction with Richard Timberlake in 1999. IMS was acquired by BNP Paribas in April 2008 and integrated into their FundQuest brand where Paul has managed the flagship CF FundQuest Select Fund, which is ‘AAA’ rated by Standard and Poor’s.

Sinfonia Managing Director, Andy Richards comments:

“Paul’s appointment is one of a number of major initiatives we have planned to enhance the Sinfonia proposition. Notably, we feel that Sinfonia will benefit significantly from an experienced UK-based fund manager who understands the particular issues that UK investors require satisfying.  Paul also has a fantastic ability to interpret complicated financial trends and market strategy into plain English, something we will capitalise on via his active involvement in the Sinfonia IFA investment briefings.”
 
Paul Kim, Director, Portfolio Management at FundQuest commented:

“I am naturally very pleased to have been appointed as fund manager to the Sinfonia portfolios. I am delighted that I can bring my multi-manager experience to these funds to construct diversified portfolios of top performing funds. The global research capability of FundQuest is a fantastic tool which provides me with access to a vast pool of talented managers and high quality funds. I believe the blend of Sinfonia portfolios offers investors a broad range of risk rated products.”

The Sinfonia proposition was designed as an alternative to model and self-build portfolios, to help advisers face challenges in the UK market place such as TCF, fund selection and adviser charging. It is available to all advisers via the Sinfonia website sinfonia-asset-management.co.uk
