Skagen Global - Bronze

FUND RESEARCH UPDATE: Fund Rating downgraded to Bronze

We have downgraded the Morningstar Analyst Rating™ for the Skagen Global fund to Bronze, from Silver. It avoids a Neutral rating only because of our positive view of the process and the strength of the broader team at Skagen. A bad year in 2014 does not concern us as much as several changes in this fund’s portfolio management team, which have lowered our conviction. On 11 November 2014, Skagen announced several changes, including the departure of lead manager Kristian Falnes. Falnes had served as lead portfolio manager at Skagen since 1997 and is the most significant in a line of five departures since Filip Weintraub left in March 2010. The level of turnover is not acceptable, and we will want to see notably more stability going forward.
