Capital International, a US fund manager that lost most of its UK institutional business following a run of poor performance, has won top ratings from fund analysts S&P Capital IQ for four of its equity and bond funds, suggesting it has strengths upon which to rebuild.

S&P Capital IQ, a business owned by ratings agency Standard & Poor's, has awarded its highest "gold" rating to four Capital International funds: its US Growth & Income fund, its Global Growth & Income fund, its European Growth & Income fund, and its Euro Bond fund.
