HOSTPLUS and IOOF award new mandates
Fund manager Neuberger Berman Australia (NBA) has continued its expansion into the Australian market with two new mandates from HOSTPLUS and IOOF.
HOSTPLUS awarded a $90 million emerging markets mandate to NBA, and IOOF gave the fund manager a $200 million mandate in global equities.
NBA first ventured into the Australian market by winning a $100 million global tactical asset allocation mandate from Colonial First State.
NBA senior vice president Lucas Rooney said that Australian institutions had shown a high level on interest in NBA's global equities capabilities, including emerging markets.
"Our strategies give client portfolios access to a much broader range of companies than many managers because of the specific orientation of our research work, our investment process, and our teams' particular beliefs," Rooney said.
