An undisclosed European pension fund has tendered a factor-investing mandate using IPE Quest.
According to QN-2182, the client is looking for a manager that can passively track a multi-factor benchmark for Europe, as well as one for the US.
The mandates are worth €250m each.
Although tracking error should not exceed 0.5%, the return and tracking errors are “less relevant”, as the benchmark – which the client is to provide – has not yet been decided.
The client said its main selection criteria for the mandates were “organisation, the investment team, trading capabilities and management fees”.
Applicants should have at least €3bn in assets under management (AUM) in the asset class itself and €10bn in AUM as a company.
They should also have a minimum track record of five years.
Interested parties should state performance, gross of fees, to the end of March.
The deadline for applications is 13 May.
