We have published a new Morningstar Qualitative Rating and Research Report for Artemis Strategic Bond.

"The fund has been managed by James Foster and Alex Ralph since 2005. Foster, who has 18 years of investment experience in fixed income, was one of the pioneers of retail bond funds in the UK. Prior to Artemis, he was Head of Credit at ISIS (now F&C) and responsible for some £15bn in bond funds, including F&C Strategic Bond Fund, which has a similar mandate. Ralph joined Royal Sun Alliance (which became ISIS) in 2000 as a credit analyst and has specialised in high yield mandates since 2002. Foster and Ralph have worked together for eight years, with Foster having used Ralph's high yield expertise in his previous role at ISIS. While some investors may prefer larger teams, we have confidence in this small team as we believe the process here maximises use of their individual talents and experience. . . ."
