HEAD-TO-HEAD: Jupiter versus Pimco
FSA compares two global fixed income funds: the Jupiter Dynamic Bond Fund and the Pimco GIS Total Return Bond Fund.
Manager review
Ariel Bezalel has managed the Jupiter fund since its inception in 2012, and has earned an FE “alpha manager rating” and a silver star designation from Morningstar.
He joined Jupiter in 1998, where he is now top fund manager for the firm’s fixed income team.
“Bezalel has tremendous experience and a solid track record, and he is supported by a strong group of macro and credit analysts, as well as a highly qualified dealing desk,” said Poole.
The Pimco fund is run by three main managers, including two with FE alpha manager ratings: Mark Kiesel and Scott Mather.
“Again, they are very skilled and experienced,” said Poole.
“Both funds also benefit from the vast resources that large asset management firms provide, in terms of quality and quantity of research and data,” he added.
