RWC Partners, which has £9bn in funds under management, has launched a range of its SICAV funds on Fidelity FundsNetwork aimed at DFM clients.

It says the move is in response to demand from discretionary fund managers.

RWC offers a range of strategies specialising in developed and emerging market equites, convertible bonds and income. Its products are now available to FundsNetwork users.

As well as its long-established funds, the agreement will also see RWC’s recently-launched Global Emerging Markets Fund, headed by John Malloy, made available via the platform.

The RWC Emerging & Frontier Markets team manages £2.24bn on behalf of clients.

RWC’s Gary Tuffield said: “This agreement with Fidelity FundsNetwork is another important step forward for the business, and follows significant demand for our strategies from FundsNetwork’s DFM clients.

Paul Richards, head of FundsNetwork Sales, said: “RWC’s extensive range of investment strategies are a welcome addition to FundsNetwork. The introduction of these funds to the platform forms part of our ongoing commitment to develop and enhance our investment proposition to meet the evolving demands of the adviser market.”
