SQM upgrades Quay Global’s rating


The research house, SQM Research, has upgraded its rating for Bennelong boutique, Quay Global Investors, to its highest category and granted an ‘outstanding’ rating.
According to the rating house, the Quay Global Real Estate fund was recognised for its ability to “most often outperform its peers and benchmark” as well as its highly experienced and skilled management team.
Additionally, SQM indicated that the fund would be highly suitable for inclusion on its approved product lists (APLs).
The fund, which returned 15.1 per cent since its launch in 2014, said it aimed to focus on achieving absolute returns in listed real estate securities, combined with strong and disciplined risk management to reduce downside risk.
“Quay invests through the economic cycle, while also taking advantage of select counter-cyclical opportunities and maximising tailwind from macroeconomic themes,” Jonas Daly, head of retail investment sale at Bennelong Funds Management, said.
