GERMANY - A German fiduciary manager is tendering two European tactical asset allocation (TAA) and fixed income investment mandates on behalf of a German pension fund (CTA), using IPE Quest.

Details of QN863 reveal a German CTA is seeking a eurozone TAA manager to manage $50m (€35m) in assets as a subfund of a German master-KAG, which will be benchmarked to the MSCI World TR or Lehman Euro Aggregate indices.

Tracking error is 1-8%, and interested firms must have a minimum track record of three years, although five years is preferred, along with a minimum of $1bn in assets under management (AUM) for the mandate and $10bn in AUM as a firm.

Performance data must be gross of fees and deadline for tenders is October 10.
