It does not seem that long ago when the legendary British fund management entrepreneur John Duffield founded New Star with the aim of having the brightest and the best as his fund managers. Duffield had previously stuck it to some Germans and the new company was going places. Now according to a Money Marketing article it is thought that New Star will lose 50 to 60 of its 380 strong workforce.
However, Mr Duffield is positive for the future and sees long-term prospects are still intact with the benefits of increased savings and investment flows. He says property is the best option in terms of UK investment while the influence of India and China will continue to grow.

Darius McDermott, of Chelsea Financial Services, told Money Marketing that he is confident that the infrastructure to support fund performance will be
there.
New Star International Property has just suspended dealings in the fund due to some institutional withdrawals. On his company web site, Mr McDermott notes that the fund has outperformed the MSCI index with a 9.2 pct decline since its launch.
