Nikko AM wins two mandates from Zurich Investments


Nikko Asset Management has been awarded two new Australian equities mandates from Zurich Investment Management Limited.
The mandates would be managed by Nikko Asset Management’s head of Australian equities, Brad Potter, and Nikko AM’s portfolio manager, Jason Kim, and would be based on the credit valuation adjustment (CVA) strategy run by the Australian equities team.
Zurich Investments’ senior investment strategist, Patrick Noble, said: “We were impressed by Nikko AM Australia’s approach during the review process, underpinned by the firm’s rigorous risk management framework and research-driven culture.
“We look forward to a successful relationship with Nikko AM Australia,” he said.
