The Allan Gray Australia Stable Fund has been added to most IOOF platforms, including Pursuit and Wholesale, where it joins the Allan Gray Australia Equity Fund (Class A). The Stable Fund differentiates itself by being able to dial up its equity exposure to a maximum of 50% when opportunities present themselves. The Fund, however, is not a low-volatility equity fund, as the default position is cash.

The Allan Gray Australia Equity Fund (Class B) was recently added to the Aegis platform in NZ. It joins the Class A units which are already available.

We are also pleased that the Equity Fund (Class A) has been added to Lonsec’s core model portfolios, so even more advisers can access the Fund.

We are seeing increased adviser demand as advisers become more familiar with our long-term, contrarian approach.

You can see the full range of platforms where our Funds are available here in our adviser hub together with the Research House ratings for all our funds.
