Fund Provider Response

Our multi-asset funds gain some of their exposures via funds managed by third party managers, and the Mindful Money screen provides useful information for us as we engage with those managers. The majority of companies flagging in the Harbour Income Fund are derived indirectly in this way from its global equity exposure via T. Rowe Price’s fund and we continue to monitor T. Rowe Price’s process via regular close contact with the portfolio manager.
