Old Mutual Asset Managers (UK) Ltd is a specialist investment firm focused exclusively on asset management. Based in London and regulated by the Financial Services Authority, we are part of a FTSE 100 company, Old Mutual plc, a leading international long term savings group.
We manage £4.0 billion (as at 31 January 2010) in relative and absolute return funds and segregated managed accounts for retail and institutional clients. We offer four key capabilities: discretionary equities; quantitative strategies; statistical arbitrage; and fixed interest.
Our investment philosophy and approach are based on our view that talented managers will achieve strong returns for clients if they have the appropriate freedom to use their own proven processes. Therefore, we do not impose a single house style or view on our investment teams. Instead, we allow them a high degree of independence whilst ensuring that they work within our robust risk management and compliance framework.
OMAM’s investment performance and portfolio managers have been widely recognised in independent rankings, ratings and awards. Our funds have received high ratings from agencies such as Morningstar, Old Broad Street Research (OBSR) and Standard & Poor’s. Our funds and managers have received over thirty industry awards since 2006, and at least one of our absolute return funds has been nominated for a EuroHedge award every year since 2004.
OMAM’s strengths are:
- Highly rated, experienced portfolio managers, many of which have strong, long term track records
- Client focus and integrity
- Rigorous, independent control of investment and operational risk
- Part of Old Mutual plc, a FTSE 100 company
