Irish Life has been actively managing pension fund assets for over 50 years and almost half of total assets under management are managed on an active basis.
ILIM's competitive advantage in active management stems from our disciplined implementation and adherence to our core value philosophy in addition to our expertise in conducting fundamental analysis. ILIM believes that the combination of fundamental and quantitative analysis can deliver long-term consistence out-performance. The systematic element of our approach, combined with the judgement of our experienced investment professionals, gives us our competitive edge. ILIM’s investment process is structured to maximise the benefits and minimize the limitations of both a pure quantitative (valuation model) and qualitative process (fundamental analysis).
ILIM’s investment style is based on sound investment principles and appeals to common sense – stocks are bought at prices that are trading at a discount to their true worth and are sold when they reach fair value. ILIM believes that the combination of fundamental and quantitative analysis can deliver long term consistent out-performance. In the UK, European and US markets stocks are picked by a sector based equity analyst team using the stock selection screen to find attractive investments. In Japan and Pacific ex-Japan the regional equity portfolios are managed on a purely quantitatively basis.
