MLC funds ‘highly recommended’
Research and ratings house, Lonsec has maintained a “highly recommended” rating for MLC Inflation Plus, MLC Horizon 2-7 and MLC Index Plus portfolios.

MLC’s chief investment officer, Jonathan Armitage, said that Lonsec’s highest ratings would help further support investors’ trust.
“To have such strong endorsement across our outcome-orientated MLC Inflation Plus, traditional MLC Horizon 2-7 suite and MLC Index Plus portfolios shows the strength of our investment team and process,” he said.
