AllianceBernstein (AB) has announced that research house, Zenith Investments Partners, has upgraded its rating for the AB Global Equities Fund to ‘highly recommended’, the highest possible rating to be assigned.

The fund, which was first launched in Australia in July 2015, initially received a ‘recommended’ rating form Zenith in December 2015.

Since its inception in Australia, it delivered total returns of 8.34 per cent, compared to the 7.21 per cent delivered by the MSCI All Country World Index in Australian dollars, which represented an outperformance of 1.13 per cent, the company said.

The research house praised the fund for its investment philosophy which comprised two fundamental beliefs such as:

  • Attractively valued companies that generate strong and sustainable returns on invested capital should be profitable investments; and
  • Consistent results should be achieved through minimising unintended factor exposures, which would allow stocks selection to be the key driver of returns.

“Zenith notes that the team has employed a consistent investment process over the life of the strategy, producing an impressive long-term record,” the research house said.
