Independent Investment Research (IIR) has upgraded its rating for WAM Research (ASX:WAX) to Highly Recommended. The upgrade recognises WAX’s highly experienced investment team, strong record of outperformance since inception in 2003 and delivery of its objective to provide a growing stream of fully franked dividends. We consider WAX to be a “best of breed” LIC for investors looking for a well-managed exposure to a diversified portfolio of Australian mid and small-cap stocks. We have also reaffirmed our Recommended Plus rating for WAM Capital (ASX:WAM) and consider it to be one of the best LICs for investors looking for a well-managed exposure to a diversified portfolio of Australian mid and small-cap stocks.
