NEW YORK, Sept. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Liberty Street Advisors, Inc. and Securian Asset Management, Inc. announced today a plan to reorganize three Securian AM mutual funds into the Liberty Street family of mutual funds within Investment Managers Series Trust.  

Liberty Street is a New York–based SEC–registered investment adviser that serves as the investment adviser to the Liberty Street family of funds.

"Liberty Street offers investors and financial advisors differentiated, timely, value added investment strategies sub–advised by independent managers who have demonstrated expertise in their asset class," said Tim Reick, CEO of Liberty Street Advisors. 

"The three Securian AM Funds may provide diversification and income opportunities in today's low interest rate environment, while potentially mitigating the negative impact of market volatility," said Mr. Reick. The Funds will be available to both institutional and retail investors.

The portfolios involved in the transaction are Securian AM Balanced Stabilization Fund (institutional class ticker symbol VVMIX); Securian AM Equity Stabilization Fund (VMEIX); and Securian AM Real Asset Income Fund (VSDIX). Fund names and ticker symbols will remain unchanged.

Pending shareholder approval the investment manager for the Funds will be Liberty Street; Securian AM will become the sub–advisor. 

"Liberty Street's extensive experience as an advisor to sub advised funds will allow our Investment team to focus on what we do best, manage the portfolio," said Craig Stapleton, CFA, FRM, Senior Vice President, CIO Investment Strategies and Risk at Securian AM. 

"We are enthusiastic about joining Liberty Street's family of mutual funds," said Mr. Stapleton. "We will continue to seek to generate attractive risk–adjusted returns for our investors, while seeking to minimize downside risk." 

The re–organization will not result in any material change in the portfolio management of the Funds or their investment objective or policies.

The Securian AM investment team, led by Craig Stapleton, includes Jeremy Gogos, Ph.D., CFA

Vice President and Portfolio Manager; Merlin Erickson, Vice President and Portfolio Manager, Joseph Betlej, CFA, Vice President and Portfolio Manager, and Lowell Bolken, CFA, Vice President and Portfolio Manager. 

"We believe that Liberty Street and Securian AM's investment management goals are in alignment," added Victor Fontana, President of Liberty Street Advisors. "We look forward to working with Securian AM's investment managers, and to continuing to meet the investment needs of the financial advisors and shareholders who have invested in the Funds."

The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, including shareholder approvals for the Funds, is expected to close at end of business on December 11, 2020.
