Following the news that Ian Pizer, Investment Director, Multi Asset Investing and a portfolio manager on the Standard Life Investments Global Absolute Return Strategy (GARS) fund, is to leave Standard Life Investments the fund’s rating remains Under Review. The fund previously held a Morningstar OBSR Analyst Rating™ of Bronze but moved to Under Review when the fund’s principle architect, Euan Munro left the group in July 2013.  We acknowledge the breadth and scale of the remaining GARS team under the continued leadership of Guy Stern, which includes the appointment of Sebastian Mackay as a portfolio manager on the team.  However, this is the latest in a series of departures to impact this team so the fund’s rating remains Under Review.
