Three investors are hunting managers for mandates via IPE’s RFP service, IPE Quest.
£200m global equities mandate
A UK pension fund is searching for ideas from fund managers for a £200m (€233m) global equities mandate, via IPE Quest.
Search DS-2514 is for an actively managed, global large-cap equity allocation. The investor is open to either a pooled fund or segregated mandate.
Managers responding to the search should have at a track record in the asset class of at least five years – although the pension fund indicated flexibility on this criterion – and a minimum of $500m (€441m) under management.
The investor cited a maximum tracking error of 8%.
The deadline for submissions is 15 March at 5pm UK time.
Dutch investor eyes social bonds
An investor based in the Netherlands has issued a search for a social bonds fund manager to run at least €10m.
Search DS-2513 is for a global, developed markets social bonds mandate. The strategy should be actively managed and available as a pooled fund.
Managers must have at least a one-year track record.
The deadline for submissions is 14 March at 5pm UK time.
Family office targets concentrated global equity portfolios
Finally, a Dutch family office is seeking a manager with the ability to run €67m in large cap global equities, spread across 26 separate accounts on an internal investment platform.
Search QN-2515 specifies that managers responding to the tender should have at least €250m under management in global equities, and at least €1bn across the company.
They should have a minimum track record of three years, but the family office said it would prefer at least a 10-year record.
The family office wants an active manager able to run concentrated portfolios of roughly 30-50 stocks. The minimum tracking error is 5%, with a maximum of 10%.
Managers should report performance gross of fees to 31 January 2019. The preferred benchmark is the MSCI ACWI index.
The deadline for submissions is 14 March at 5pm UK time.
