The Fund’s 3 star rating has been removed following the resignation of manager Mark Niznik, who is joining an investment boutique. Standard Life UK Opportunities will be temporarily managed by Harry Nimmo, who has a 4 star Bestinvest rating for his existing mandates, Standard Life UK Smaller Companies and Edinburgh Small Companies IT.
Though we consider Nimmo a safe pair of hands for the moment, we have suspended our rating on the fund until a permanent replacement is named.
