USAA Asset Management Co. is so committed to bringing its equity fund business in-house that it is bidding adieu to two subadvisors.
According to a
filing, the firm has fired
Loomis, Sayles & Co. and
UBS Global Asset Management
and added three new portfolio managers:
John Toohey,
Wasif Latif
and
John Jares
to the
USAA Growth & Income Fund,
in addition to the two current subadvisers,
Wellington Management Company
and
Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss.
The $1.2 billion 2-star fund’s portfolio will typically consist of 50 to 80 holdings with a focus on mid- and large-cap stocks. It is up 10.97% as of the end of October, according to Morningstar.
