We are delighted to announce that International Adviser (IA), and its sister publications Portfolio Adviser (PA) and Expert Investor Europe(EIE), have become the first and only magazines to use Old Broad Street Research’s (OBSR’s) newly-launched offshore fund ratings service.
From the June edition of IA (out Monday, June 1st) our highly-regarded Quality 250 fund listings will include the new OBSR figures, which are independently-given qualitative rankings of the best cross-border/international funds in the world.
The incorporation of OBSR’s cross-border funds ratings in the Quality 250 complements the Standard & Poor’s and Morningstar research already used to compile our funds guide. The IA Quality 250 is the only place all three ratings providers’ research is used to create a truly comprehensive list of the best cross-border funds available to investors.
