Evergreen Wants to Move Management of Four Bond Funds to Wells


Evergreen Investment Management Company plans to propose to the board of trustees that Wells Capital Management Inc. replace Tattersall Advisory Group as sub-adviser to four bond funds, according to an SEC filing on Monday. The funds include Evergreen Core Plus Bond, Evergreen Core Bond, Evergreen VA Core Bond and Evergreen Short Intermediate Bond.

In an announcement posted on the Evergreen Web site on Tuesday, company officials said the decision to propose the portfolio management changes followed "recent performance challenges" and the "broadened fixed income investment capabilities resulting from Evergreen Investments' recent affiliation with Wells Fargo's asset management group.

Richmond, Virginia-based Tattersall is Evergreen's domestic fixed income platform. Evergreen's parent, Wachovia Corp., was purchased by Wells Fargo in a deal that closed in January.

The portfolio management change would occur through the execution of a new sub-advisory agreement and/or through the reorganization of each Evergreen fund into a similarly managed Wells Fargo Advantage Fund.
