Walnut Creek, CA, December 16, 2021— iM Global Partner, the worldwide asset management network, today announced PartnerSelect Funds, a group of distinctive mutual funds harnessing the expertise of skilled portfolio managers, is changing its name to iMGP Funds as part of a global rebranding initiative.
This change follows the completion of iM Global Partner Fund Management’s, LLC advisor to PartnerSelect Funds (formerly Litman Gregory PartnerSelect Funds) acquisition of Litman Gregory on June 1, 2021 and will apply to the fund family and individual mutual fund names.
“Having successfully completed the combination and full integration of Litman Gregory with iM Global Partner, this is an exciting time to announce the alignment of our US fund family to the iM Global Partner brand,” says Jeffrey Seeley, iM Global Partner Deputy CEO. “The combined iM Global Partner firm has decades of expertise researching and analyzing subadvisors and mutual funds and this continues to be our foundation for the newly named iMGP Fund Platform.”
The existing PartnerSelect Funds will be renamed to reflect the updated family name “iMGP”; however, each fund’s sub-advisor lineup, ticker symbol, and CUSIP will remain unchanged.
Through this initiative, iM Global Partner Fund Management continues their commitment to manager due diligence, selection, performance, and fund administration. The firm’s objective remains providing solutions and global offerings under a consistent investment philosophy for partners and mutual funds from inception to the present. The new fund names went into effect as of December 16, 2021.
