GLOBAL – An undisclosed Asian investor has tendered a $200m (€150m) Singapore government debt mandate using IPE-Quest.
According to search QN1322, while the mandate's benchmark will be the JP Morgan Singapore Government Bond index, tracking-error guidelines are to be confirmed at a later date.
Asset managers should have a minimum five-year track record, although seven would be preferable.
They should also have at least $500m in assets under management (AUM) for the mandate itself and $1bn for the company.
Interested parties should state performance, net of fees, to the end of June.
The closing date for applications is 29 August.
In other news, the Avon Pension Fund has tendered a £150m (€172m) emerging market equities mandate, on a pooled or segregated basis.
The benchmark will be the MSCI Emerging Markets index, with a rolling, three-year outperformance objective of plus 2-4% per annum, net of fees.
The contract will be formally reviewed every five years.
The pension fund is working towards achieving the UN Principles for Responsible Investment standard and will take this into consideration when evaluating the tender.
Any pooled fund must be valued at more than £600m so the mandate is no more than 20% of the total pooled fund.
Further, any pooled fund should have a track record, with detailed attribution of drivers of returns, available for at least three years.
