Specialist external manager program

Our specialist external fund manager program aims to reduce risk through diversification of manager, style and region, and to enhance returns through access to the skills, systems and knowledge of specialist managers.

For Australian clients, our external manager program uses proven systems to rigorously select and monitor specialist fund managers in international markets. Our process monitors and reviews critical factors such as investment performance, the manager's adherence to its stated investment style, mandate compliance, changes in personnel, changes in investment philosophy/style, risk management processes and the research and development activities of the manager. Reviews and monitoring are conducted daily, monthly, quarterly, annually and three-yearly.
