Richard Parfect and Gary Moglione will lead the management of the fund, looking to create returns that are uncorrelated with markets, and offering inflation-linked income.

“We have been investing in real and alternative asset strategies for over two decades and have significant expertise and longevity of experience within the team to provide advisers and wealth managers access to a best-in-class solution based on the asset blend distinction versus peers,” Parfect said.

The fund will be used within the asset allocation approach of MGIM’s Managed Portfolio range.

Andrew Hardy, director of investment management, said: “For some time clients have requested a focussed solution in these asset classes and this growing interest has led to the launch of RAGI. In doing so we are providing advisers and their clients with access to top-quality investment opportunities and supporting them in their investment approach.”
