Morgan Stanley Investment Management (MSIM) has announced the launch of the Morgan Stanley Investment Funds Global Stars Fund.
The Luxembourg domiciled Global Stars SICAV is a concentrated portfolio of 20-50 high quality, growth-tilted companies. It seeks emerging and established companies with exciting growth trajectories – companies that, over time, are likely to win market share by design. The Fund’s investment approach focuses on business excellence, generally characterised by the creation and nurturing of intangible assets, which in turn support high return, incremental capital deployment.
Managed by Alex Gabriele and Richard Perrott – portfolio managers and members of the International Equity Team – the fund benefits from their propriety research and insights from the broader International Equity Team.
Alex Gabriele, Lead Portfolio Manager, said:
“While the investment environment has been far more exciting than one would hope as a bottom-up fundamental manager, our ownership of winning franchises that have continued to deliver significant operating performance – notwithstanding all the real-world uncertainty – has underpinned the first year of compounding in the strategy. We are excited to bring a SICAV fund to the market, offering more client access to our approach.”
Vittorio Ambrogi, Head of International Wealth and Global Financial Institutions at MSIM added:
“We are delighted to offer this new high quality growth fund, designed to offer accelerated wealth creation through investment in the next generation of extraordinary businesses. Companies that are on the road to corporate excellence with bright prospects and strong growth potential.”
