As announced in November 2012, Insight and BNY Mellon have been working together to define how they can best serve clients in the UK Wholesale marketplace. As a result, they have developed a range of new funds to provide investors with a best-of-breed offering in key areas of fixed income, absolute return, multi-asset and equity income. The new range brings Insight’s core strengths to the UK Wholesale market, and complements BNY Mellon’s existing range of retail funds.

In addition to the six new funds, BNY Mellon Fund Managers Limited, the authorised corporate director for the BNY Mellon Investment Funds range has become the authorised corporate director (ACD) of Absolute Insight (NURS), now a sub-fund of BNY Mellon Managed Funds II (formerly, Insight Investment Funds-of-Funds II ICVC) which continues to be managed by Insight and the track record remains.
Scott Goodsir, BNY Mellon’s Head of UK Wholesale, comments: "These new funds are designed to capitalise on Insight’s core investment expertise in fixed income, absolute return, multi-asset and equity income-based strategies. BNY Mellon and Insight believe the proposals are vital to provide investors with access to appropriate investment products in the new world post RDR. The proposed new range of Insight-managed funds are expected to provide investors with a best-of-breed offering across key investment strategies, aiming to complement BNY Mellon’s existing range of funds targeted at the UK Wholesale market." Sarah Aitken, Head of Distribution at Insight Investment adds: "We very much hope that the introduction of these new funds is just the beginning of a new wholesale distribution partnership with BNY Mellon. We will build from here and continue to look for opportunities to bring the best of Insight’s institutional investment capabilities to UK wholesale investors."
