LONDON, July 3 (Reuters) - The Artemis High Income fund was the top
performer among British-registered mixed asset funds in June, data from Thomson
Reuters fund research firm Lipper showed on Friday.
The fund, run by Adrian Frost and Adrian Gosden, rose 3.92 percent during
the month and 15.53 percent over three months. With around three-quarters of its
assets in bonds and another 9.5 percent in convertibles and preference shares,
according to its latest factsheet, it has benefited from a rally in high-yield
bond prices in June.
Zenith IMM European Balanced fund was the worst performing fund during the
month with a loss of 5.07 percent.
