UK-Bristol: pension investment services
24642 - Pension fund investment management (Emerging markets equity portfolio(s)). The investment management of emerging equity portfolio(s) with an estimated value of between 50 000 000 GBP to 150 000 000 GBP (or between 55 000 000 EUR to 165 000 000 EUR). It is anticipated that the appointment and funding will be for one or more managers with funding of the manager(s) subject to our investment strategy review and strategic asset allocation. The portfolio(s) (preferably segregated but pooled funds may be considered) is to be actively managed to achieve excess returns from emerging markets (as defined by one of the leading emerging market index providers). In addition the successful candidate(s) may be able to offer specialist sub regional exposure, and also be able to successfully invest outside just the largest companies and largest markets, and the index chosen to benchmark the fund will accordingly include medium and small capitalisation stocks. Our preference is for a 10 percent off benchmark exposure limit, but we may allow up to 20 percent if justified. The financial excess return target over a suitable emerging market equity benchmark, net of fees is to be a minimum of plus 3,0 per cent per annum on a rolling 3 year basis within an agreed maximum risk budget. This may suit a high alpha or unconstrained style. We strongly believe that the managers incentives should be aligned with our objective which is to achieve long term out performance whilst taking only reasonable risks. We would prefer therefore that fee structure proposals for this mandate to be of the form of a fixed (or fixed rate) annual maintenance base fee, together with performance-related fees comprising fee payments for out-performance and fee rebates for under-performanceIn addition to emerging market equity managers with a strong and credible process, we are looking for managers who incorporate and integrate financially material environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria in line with best practice sustainable environmentally responsible investment. In terms of integrating ESG factors, we are open to a broad range of product types and/or combinations. Although in no way limited to, these could include traditional emerging market equity mandates with an ESG overview, or mandates with ESG core to the selection process. Our preference is for positive equity selection using financial and sustainable criteria rather than negative screening. We are open to the use of either in-house or external company research and/or partnering with third parties on the integration of ESG issues into the managers investment strategy. Other innovative approaches may also be considered. We are signatories of the UN Principles for Responsible investment (UNPRI) and we would expect the manager to be a member of, or be willing to participate in, the UNPRI and support other global initiatives such as UN Environmental Programme - Finance Institutions (UNEP - FI) and/ or the UN Global Compact. We are open to proposals for new concepts, strategies and teams. We will allow proposals where certain aspects may be contingent on appointment. The appointed investment manager will be expected to manage the assets in accordance with the Local Government Pension Scheme (Management and Investment of Funds) Regulations 2009 and the Agency Investment Management Agreement, Statement of Investment Principles, Corporate Governance and Environmental Overlay strategies and reporting requirements.
