These include:Muzinich America Yield;Blue Bay Investment Grade Bond; Blue Bay High Yield Bond; Blue Bay EMD; Resolution Argonaut Income;Artemis Strategic Bond;Artemis Income.In some cases the Maia partners, who are in the process of constructing the portfolios, have persuaded groups to launch new share classes for funds that did not have UK distributor status.
Jason Collins says: "Launching Maia has enabled us to adopt a high conviction approach and to invest in funds we have liked for a long time but were unable to buy previously.
We have sought many funds outside the usual multi-manager universe and we are being quite aggressive in our fixed interest strategy - we simply don't believe that equities should do all the work.
Our policy is to seek out the best fund managers in the world and to build our portfolios around them.
We will never be out chasing the latest hot fund: we want to find alpha and use it in the best risk adjusted way possible.".
