Zevenbergen Capital has made the strategic decision to recommend to shareholders the conversion of the Zevenbergen Growth and Zevenbergen Genea mutual funds into exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which are funds that trade on an exchange like a stock.
This change is designed to give shareholders access to an investment structure that offers greater operational and tax efficiency, while preserving key aspects of shareholders’ investment: our strategy, our investment discipline, and the Zevenbergen portfolio management team. As part of the conversion, advisory oversight will shift to an affiliate of our minority partner, Virtus Investment Advisers, LLC, and Zevenbergen will continue as sub-adviser, responsible for day-to-day management of the portfolios.
Importantly, the same experienced investment team will remain fully responsible for the investment strategies. We remain committed to continuing to deliver our high-conviction growth investing approach. The reorganization is expected to be tax-free for shareholders.
