Hyperion fund added to Macquarie Wrap
Hyperion Asset Management has announced that its Global Growth Companies Fund has been added to the Macquarie Wrap platform.
The fund returned 19.7 per cent per annum (after fees) since inception in June 2014 to October, 31, 2018, and generated 7.5 per cent per annum above the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI World accumulation Index, over the same time period, the firm said.
According to Hyperion’s managing director, Tim Samway, the fund applied a bottom-up approach aimed at producing superior investment returns for investors over long-term horizons.
“We’ve received a significant uptick in interest for our global strategy from both Australian advisers and investors – in particular, investors wanting greater exposure to global equities in their search for superior returns in an otherwise low-growth, low-return environment,” he said.
The fund is also currently available on BT Panorama, BT Wrap, Asgard, HUB24, mFund and Netwealth.
