Principal takes global equities funds to market

Principal Global Investors will start to actively market its global equities and emerging markets funds in Australia following the registration of Dublin funds last month.

“We’re ready to introduce the equities component,” Tim Dunbar, executive director global equities, said in Sydney yesterday. Principal launched a global strategic income fund in Australia over a year and a half ago and an Australian listed property trust last year.
