Following the Morningstar OBSR Analyst Ratings Meeting on 8th May 2013, we have downgraded the Neptune Income fund to a Morningstar OBSR Analyst Rating of Bronze. The fund previously held a Silver Rating. There have been some changes to the team involved in managing this fund.  Alex Breese, formerly the assistant manager on the fund and head of UK equities at Neptune, has departed the firm. Robin Geffen remains as manager while Emma Mogford and George Boyd-Bowman continue to hold assistant manager roles on the fund. Following Alex Breese’s departure, Scott MacLennan and Ian Sealey were named as assistant managers on the fund. However, we note their relatively short tenures at the firm, as both joined Neptune in 2012, and their relatively light portfolio management experience. Given these changes we believe the Bronze Rating better reflects our conviction in the fund.
