North Track Re-Org Proceeded With The Aid of a Consultant


Beacon Hill Fund Services revealed Monday that it served as a financial consultant to Ziegler Capital Management as it moved forward with the reorganization of the North Track Funds into the HighMark fund family.

HighMark completed the adoption of the $619 million North Track fund family as of June 1. The North Track Equity Income, NYSE Arca Tech 100 Index and Wisconsin Tax-Exempt funds will all retain Ziegler as a sub-advisor, but they will now be re-branded as HighMark funds.
