Brandes Value NextShares Now Available at UBS
SAN DIEGO, Feb. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Brandes Investment Partners (Brandes) today announced that UBS Financial Services Inc. will become the first firm to offer the Brandes Value NextShares Fund (Nasdaq: BVNSC) on its platform. The fund seeks to uncover companies with attractive value attributes and focuses primarily on large cap equity securities of U.S. issuers.
"We are excited about this opportunity to make the Brandes Value NextShares Fund available to more financial advisors," said Oliver Murray, Managing Director of Portfolio Management and Client Services at Brandes. "We are committed to providing our clients an opportunity to access actively managed strategies, while providing cost and tax efficiencies through the NextShares structure."
Launched in February 2018, the Brandes Value NextShares Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in large-cap U.S. equity securities that are undervalued relative to their financial strength and upside potential. The fund will be the thirteenth introduced by UBS since it became the first full-service wealth manager to offer NextShares through its financial advisor network in 2017.
"Brandes Investment Partners has a strong tradition of successful value investing and we are pleased to see Brandes Value Equity NextShares joining the line-up of NextShares funds offered at UBS," said Stephen W. Clarke, President of NextShares Solutions LLC.
NextShares are exchange-traded managed funds that can provide built-in cost and tax efficiencies. The Brandes Value NextShares Fund provides an opportunity for investors to capitalize on the firm's 40+ years of U.S. value equity experience in a vehicle with the cost and tax efficiencies of ETMFs.
