New strategies in van Eyk equities review
Stephen van Eyk
Van Eyk Research’slatest review of Australian equities fund managers includes three additional investment strategies — active extension, equity income and environmental, social and governance (ESG).
Their inclusion for the first time in the Australian Equities Review of June 2008 was driven by client demand for unconventional strategies, according to van Eyk head of investment Nigel Douglas.
He added that van Eyk’s recent Strategic Asset Allocation Study identified a role for some of these non-traditional strategies in client portfolios.
The review also identified a growing trend for fund management institutions establishing “corporatised boutique” fund managers, Douglas said.
It found that institutions are “desperate to retain high-performing teams and are negotiating boutique-like remuneration structures, including revenue or profit-share arrangements”.
