We’re entrusted with assets exceeding €100 billion (as of 30.06.2023) across a broad range of asset classes and investment solutions. We work for a wide range of institutional clients including insurance companies, wealth managers, pension schemes, fiduciary managers and sovereign wealth funds across Europe and North America. What we do With solution design and delivery at the forefront - our core investment capabilities extend across indexation, quantitative active strategies, active fixed income, property and alternative asset classes. We became one of the early adopters of Indexation and Quantitative Multi-Factor investing when we introduced both investment disciplines into our business in 1996. And, we’ve become one of the leading property investors in Ireland. A reputation founded on excellence Our business is built on putting clients first and delivering high-quality and innovative investment solutions. We’re results-focused, finding new ways to deliver what matters to our clients, and we achieve it with teamwork, working across disciplines to deliver to our clients. Our partnership approach Clients work with us to build solutions, not products. Our business was founded on this approach, which is underpinned by a breadth of investment capabilities, depth of knowledge and diligence. We partner with clients to understand their needs and then create investment solutions that expressly target these needs. As solution providers, we are ultimately committed to ensuring our investment solutions drive positive outcomes for clients and deliver on our commitments.
