Investments and services

We offer our clients a wide range of innovative investments and services from boutique-like capabilities delivered through a global structure.

Equities offers a broad range of strategies across the full spectrum of investment styles and with varying risk and return objectives. Equity capabilities are grouped into three investment pillars: Core/Value (portfolios managed according to a price to intrinsic value philosophy); Growth Investors (a high-quality global growth manager); and Structured Equities (strategies that employ proprietary analytics and quantitative methods including Systematic Alpha, Quantitative Equities and Portfolio Construction Solutions (Passive)). Each pillar offers distinctive strategies and has a dedicated team of investment professionals.

Fixed Income offers a diverse range of global and local market-based investment strategies. Capabilities go beyond the "core" government and corporate bond sectors and extend to other sectors, such as high-yield and emerging market debt. We combine these capabilities to create country, regional and global strategies that cover a wide range of benchmarks.

Alternative and Quantitative Investments has two primary business lines – multi-manager (or fund of funds) and single-manager. The multi-manager businesses construct portfolios of hedge funds and other alternative investments operated by third-party managers, allowing clients diversified exposure to a range of hedge funds, private equity and infrastructure strategies. The single-manager business is run by O’Connor, a key hedge fund specialist with global reach.

Global Real Estate actively manages investments in Asia, Europe and the US and across all major sectors. Our capabilities include core, value-added and opportunistic strategies on a global, regional and country basis. These are offered through open and closed-end private funds, fund of funds, individually managed accounts and publicly traded real estate securities globally.

Global Investment Solutions offers asset allocation, currency, risk management and advisory services. We manage a wide array of domestic, regional and global balanced portfolios, currency mandates, structured portfolios and absolute return strategies. We aim to deliver portfolios that manage risk exposures in three dynamic dimensions: market, currency and security selection using internal and external sources of return. In addition, the team supplies risk management and portfolio construction tools to portfolio managers within the division and a range of advisory services to clients.

Infrastructure & Private Equity forms part of our broader offering of alternative investments. The businesses originate and manage specialist funds that make direct investments in infrastructure and other private assets globally. Infrastructure includes the essential assets required for orderly function and growth of an economy. Private Equity focuses on distinct and targeted assets in markets around the world. Both businesses provide institutional and other long-term investors with a broad range of options to generate attractive risk-adjusted absolute returns.

Fund Services, our global fund administration business, provides professional services, including legal set up, reporting and accounting, for retail and institutional investment funds, hedge funds and other alternative products.
