INTECH Investment Management LLC (INTECH) has been awarded a USD1.3 billion (AUD1.2 billion) mandate in a customised version of its Enhanced Global Core ex Australia strategy, by AMP Capital Investors. AMP Capital is one of Asia Pacific’s largest investment managers.
“INTECH is honoured to partner with AMP Capital to provide this customised strategy to the Australian market. As we have shown with INTECH Global Core, we believe that the Enhanced Global Core strategy has the potential to deliver long-term excess returns, while minimizing the relative risk of the portfolio,” says David Schofield (pictured), President of INTECH’s international division.
INTECH will manage a global equities strategy benchmarked to the MSCI World ex Australia Index, and will draw from securities in the Index to create a portfolio that will attempt to outperform the MSCI World ex Australia benchmark with equal or less risk. This will be managed using INTECH’s mathematical, risk-managed process designed to seek long-term returns in excess of the target benchmark.
This builds on the same volatility-capture strategy the firm has implemented since 1987. INTECH has a record of mathematically driven equity investing that spans more than two decades, having managed large-cap equity portfolios since 1987. The result is an investment approach that has historically delivered consistently high information ratios – a key measure of risk-adjusted excess returns, investment efficiency, and consistency – across most of INTECH’s investment strategies over the long term.
INTECH has managed global portfolios since 2005 and subsequently began offering its global-ex capability with the launch of the INTECH Global Core ex Australia strategy and the INTECH Global Core ex Japan strategy.
