An undisclosed pension fund based in the Benelux region has tendered a €100m all/large-cap equity mandate using IPE Quest.
According to QN-2125, the client is looking for a portfolio managed with a “truly long-term” investment horizon, where “conviction is expressed in a limited number of holdings analysed through fundamental research”.
The investor expects “extremely low” turnover and a focus on absolute returns as a result.
A sustainability research element is also favourable.
Given the long-term nature of the mandate, a benchmark should be used for reference only; in that case, the MSCI Europe Index would be most suitable.
The client prefers asset managers with a minimum track record of at least three years.
Interested parties should state performance, net of fees, to the end of September.
The deadline for applications is 3 November.
