Fargo Asset Management has expanded a Luxembourg-registered
range, launching a new sub-fund inside a UCITS structure called
the Global Equity Enhanced Income Fund.
The umbrella portfolio range within which the sub-fund sits is
called the Wells Fargo (Lux) Worldwide Funds.
The UCITS fund vehicle mixes dividends from equities and earns
premiums from selling options, aiming to deliver a sustainable
distribution yield, typically in excess of 6 per cent per year.
The fund, which will invest in 60-80 high dividend stocks, will
be registered across Europe, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Korea. The
portfolio will be risk-managed across multiple dimensions,
including region, sector, factor, and macroeconomic
sensitivity.
Managers running different features of the strategy are Kandarp
Acharya and Petros Bocray, Vince Fioramonti, Justin Carr, Megan
Miller and Harin de Silva.
This announcement follows the addition of two additional
sub-funds to the Wells Fargo (Lux) Worldwide Portfolio earlier
this year - the Global Small Cap Equity Fund and the Small Cap
Innovation Fund.
