Effective from 18 May 2026 two senior Manulife Investment Management Group portfolio managers, Diana Racanelli and Craig Bethune, will assume responsibility for the management of the portfolio. Keith Watson and Robert Crayfourd may provide advice in respect of the portfolio management process until their notice period expires on 2 June 2026. There is no change to the Company's investment process, strategy or operations.
Diana Racanelli, CFA and Craig Bethune, CFA, based in Toronto, are senior portfolio managers at Manulife Investment Management, have been with Manulife for the past 12 years, and together manage USD544 million in metals & mining and energy assets, together with a further USD1,096 million in metals & mining and resources exposure in team managed assets.
