Zurich's investments business has appointed Sigma Funds Management as a new strategic investment partner to manage the Zurich Investments Small Companies Fund, focused on Australian companies outside the S&P/ASX100.

The fund aims to support small companies that have a potential to provide substantial growth opportunities, in the belief that through this investment, with a bias towards those with lower business risk, they will deliver above-average market returns with lower-than-average levels of market risk over the medium to longer term, the insurer said on its website.

“Sigma is an excellent addition to the Zurich suite of best-of-breed fund manager partners, and their proven track record in managing a 'true to label' small caps fund offers Australian advisers a new solution for this highly sought-after asset class," said Patrick Noble, senior investment strategist from Zurich Investments.

Stephen Giubin, director and investment manager at Sigma, said Sigma is proud to partner with Zurich.

“With a proven track record of delivering significant outperformance against the benchmark since inception with this strategy, we’re looking forward to working with Zurich to deliver long-term returns for investors,” Guibin said.
