Morgan Stanley Investment Management has announced that MS INVF Global Brands has re-opened for subscriptions after capacity became available in the strategy.
The investment thesis behind Global Brands has remained the same since its inception, providing a concentrated portfolio of high quality companies with the aim of compounding investors’ wealth over the long term, whilst striving to preserve capital in down markets.
“We have long taken a conservative approach to capacity management and will continue to do so to protect investment returns,” said Managing Director and Head of the International Equity team, William Lock, which manages MSIM’s Global Brands and Global Quality funds.
Bruno Paulson, Managing Director and Senior Portfolio Manager, continued “The fund is benchmark agnostic and our goal is to grow clients’ capital and not lose it. The economic robustness of quality companies helps to deliver returns when they are needed most – during challenging market conditions.”
Morgan Stanley is a leading global financial services firm providing a wide range of investment banking, securities, wealth management and investment management services. With offices in more than 43 countries, the Firm’s employees serve clients worldwide including corporations, governments, institutions and individuals.
