The Bell Global Equity Fund has been awarded a ‘Recommended’ rating by Lonsec in its initial review. The fund is managed by Bell Asset Management’s co-Portfolio Managers Ned Bell and Adrian Martuccio.

The ‘Recommended’ rating indicates Lonsec’s conviction that the Fund can achieve its objective, if applicable, outperform peers over an appropriate investment time frame.

As described in the Lonsec report “The rating is underpinned by the strength of the co-portfolio managers Ned Bell and Adrian Martuccio, and the stability of the investment team” and further supported by “the Manager’s investment approach, which Lonsec believes to be one of the more methodical and disciplined within the global equities peer group”.

Ned Bell, Bell Asset Management’s CEO and Portfolio Manager, said, “that we are very pleased with the initial Lonsec rating, especially their affirmation of Bell Asset Management’s disciplined investment approach and solid performance across most markets”.

Lonsec’s review also highlighted that the Bell Global Equity Fund “has offered good downside protection for investors. That said, outperformance across all markets has also been high, which is consistent with BAM’s ‘core’ style of investing”.
