Aviva Investors

Aviva Investors is a global asset management business dedicated to building and providing our clients with focused investment solutions. We are wholly owned by Aviva plc, the world’s fifth largest insurance group* with assets under management in excess of € 290 billion across a range of equity, fixed income, property, money market and alternative funds as at 30 June 2008. Our client base ranges from among the largest financial institutions to individuals saving for the future.

Aviva Investors is a significant business in its own right: employing more than 1,100 people, including some 300 investment professionals in 21 locations around the world. Our clients benefit not only from our unique access to, and experience of, our local markets – but also from our ability to leverage an infrastructure that comes with global representation.

The creation of Aviva Investors was announced in February 2008, to leverage the combined resources of several long-established asset management businesses owned by Aviva plc, bringing them together in a unified, global management structure. Aviva Investors will combine businesses in the UK (Morley Fund Management), North America (Aviva Capital Management, MFM International, Aviva Investment Canada), France (Aviva Gestion d’Actifs), Australia (Portfolio Partners), Poland (CUIM Polska), Ireland (Hibernian Investment Managers), and Romania (CertInvest).

We are a client focused organisation committed to building and providing investment solutions that aim to meet our clients’ needs against the backdrop of rapidly evolving financial markets. Reflecting this, our resources are organised into dedicated investment management teams within and across the countries we operate in.

We are proud of our performance-oriented culture and our unique investment philosophy – built on the foundations of many years of experience in the industry – that actively seeks out investment returns in every class of asset that we manage for our internal and external clients. Our extensive proprietary research is co-ordinated across our global teams to maximise information sharing. Underlying all our investment activities is a rigorous risk management process that uses state of the art systems and methodologies.
