State Street Corp., a rival, hired the executives away from the fund in an effort to launch a similar product, according to published reports.

Now, State Street Research will sell the fund’s assets and distribute proceeds among shareholders. The fund’s class A shares dropped 18.7% through July. The fund has approximately $12 million in assets.
