Fund manager Nikko Asset Management has won a key mandate from industry fund, TWUSuper.
The fund manager confirmed this week it had been awarded a mandate for its long-running Australian Equities Comparative Value Analysis strategy.
Confirming the mandate, TWU Super chief investment officer, Andrew Killen said the fund's board had been impressed by Nikko AM's team which had been consistent in delivering excess returns over a long period of time.
Nikko AM's head of equities, Brad Potter said the company was delighted to have received the mandate and recognized the competitive nature of the Australian market.
Investors have slashed their US equity allocations to the lowest level on record, according to new data from Bank of America.
The message from experts in international trade and economists is that the Australian government should refrain from retaliating with reciprocal tariffs.
The market correction forecast by AMP’s chief economist is in full swing, with three weeks of turbulence culminating in significant losses on Tuesday.
Following a strong risk appetite in January, institutional investors have pulled back in February, with risk-seeking activity dropping to zero amid a decline in equity allocations.
