Resolute Investment Managers and Ninety One Enter Strategic Partnership

Resolute Will Implement Two of Ninety One’s SMA Strategies Across Its Established Distribution Network to Continue Further Diversifying Its Product Offerings

IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Resolute Investment Managers, Inc. (“Resolute” or the “Company”), a diversified, multi-affiliate asset management platform with more than 30 affiliated and independent relationships, announced today that it has entered into a strategic partnership with global asset manager Ninety One North America, Inc. (“Ninety One”). As a result of the new agreement, Resolute will be responsible for distributing two Ninety One separately managed account (“SMA”) strategies across its established distribution network of wealth management relationships.

The deployment of the Ninety One Global and International Franchise SMA strategies will help strengthen Resolute’s capabilities while further diversifying the Company’s product offerings.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Ninety One to bring their SMA strategies to financial advisors across the country,” Gregory Stumm, CFA^®, CAIA^®, senior vice president of Sales and head of Distribution for Resolute and American Beacon Advisors, Inc., said. “As investors continue to look for more personalized ways to broaden their market exposure, it’s necessary that Resolute’s offerings reflect the varying needs of the investment community, and we’re confident Ninety One’s specialist investment teams can deliver on that objective.”

With high-conviction portfolios focused on companies with strong brands and robust business models, Ninety One’s SMA strategies place an emphasis on companies that are well established in their industries and have proven track records. Both of Ninety One’s SMA strategies aim to create meaningful participation in up markets, smaller drawdowns in down markets and lower-than-average volatility.

Richard Garland, managing director and head of Global Advisor at Ninety One, said, “Through our partnership with Resolute, we will be able to leverage their extensive network and broaden our reach among financial advisors. Rooted in our differentiated Quality investment approach, the Ninety One Global and International Franchise SMA strategies can serve as a powerful addition to client portfolios to help them meet long-term financial goals.”

Ninety One’s SMA strategies, which will continue to be run by their Quality team, are now available via Resolute’s distribution network.
