Sanlam confirmed that each fund’s management, fees and investment philosophy will remain unchanged.
A Sanlam spokesperson said: “Sanlam looks forward to a long and successful, mutually beneficial partnership with Landseer, as well as a continuing successful relationship with Chris Ford and his team.”
Landseer was founded in 2020 and currently runs a European small cap and European long/short fund.
