Following a recent Morningstar Analyst Ratings meeting, we have assigned a Morningstar Analyst Rating™ of Neutral to the Old Mutual Corporate Bond fund. The fund had previously been rated Bronze and was placed Under Review in April 2015, when Old Mutual announced a number of changes to the investment team. Lloyd Harris was initially named co-manager on the fund alongside Christine Johnson. In November 2015, he was subsequently promoted to the role of lead manager. Harris had contributed to the security selection process since 2012 through his work as a credit analyst, but he has no prior track-record on a similar strategy. We will thus need more time to assess his execution of the investment process, and the Neutral rating best reflects our absence of conviction at this stage.
