Architas Multi Asset Active Fund Range Reinstatement

We are pleased to announce the reinstatement of the Recommended rating for the Architas Multi Asset Active range of funds. This range consists of six funds: Multi Asset Active Reserve, Moderate Income, Intermediate Income, Progressive, Growth and Dynamic. The ratings were suspended in April 2016, following the announcement that then CIO and co-manager on the fund range, Caspar Rock, was to leave the firm. Architas announced the appointment of a new CIO, Jaime Arguello, in the summer of 2016 and he joined the business in November. Following discussions and meetings with him, the investment team and senior management we are sufficiently reassured that the robust investment process and strong resources, which has provided good outcomes for clients over the years, have not be disrupted and that a high level of continuity remains in place. We therefore feel comfortable at this point lifting the suspensions and reinstating the Recommended ratings.
