The launch of these three funds are part of broader plans to launch as many as 30 funds over the next three years on a managed account platform introduced by QInvest last year, according to Reuters.

The new funds will be managed by the asset management team of QInvest and will be made through the QInvest Managed Account Platform (QMAP) which was launched last year.
