Aviva Investors is the investment arm of Aviva plc, a multinational financial services company, which is a leading insurer in the UK and has strong presence in selected markets across the UK, Ireland and Canada. We are one of the three core businesses of the Aviva Group.
At Aviva Investors we aim to combine global intelligence with local wisdom. The organisation has been structured to take full advantage of this local insight to bring real benefits to our clients through investment performance and innovative products.
We manage over £218 bn across a range of asset classes and have operations spanning 12 countries globally. We employ over 1,000 employees including 250+ investment professionals. Our clients therefore benefit not just from our significant local knowledge and experience but also from the extensive global investment resources at our disposal. Although we are a global business, we act as a single team, collaborating to bring together knowledge and capabilities.
We are a global asset manager with a broad range of expertise across asset classes. Our investment desks share a common investment goal which is to deliver the specific and meaningful outcomes that matter most to today’s investor. We focus on what we do best, and on capabilities and propositions that build on our heritage in managing long-term savings. Our investment services include:
Real Assets: We offer investment solutions targeting secure long income, highly diversified portfolios targeting income and growth, as well as specialist funds targeting tactical, higher growth outcomes. We invest in specific sectors, in single countries, regionally or globally, and invest across the real estate spectrum, both directly and indirectly, and in equity and real estate debt. We offer management services targeting benchmark relative, cash relative or absolute returns.
Credit: Aviva Investors is a trusted institutional global fixed income investor offering a diverse range of products across the fixed income spectrum. Our Credit offering includes global high yield, global investment grade, emerging market debt (‘EMD’), liability driven credit and liquidity.
Global and UK equity strategies: At Aviva Investors, we believe equity markets are inefficient and value can be added against indices or as part of investment return solutions. The future is not equal to the past hence passive or algorithmic led solutions such as ETFs may fail investors when the micro or macro outlook changes. Reflecting our belief in inefficient markets, our objective is to provide clients with a differentiated, dynamic and forward-looking equity proposition based on portfolios which are highly diversified, stock driven have high active shares and controlled factor risk.
Multi-asset & Macro: The Multi-asset & Macro team manages a range of Multi-strategy outcome-oriented funds including AIMS, segregated and pooled Multi-asset vehicles, global rates and global convertible bonds.
The team undertakes analysis of the risk and return drivers across different asset classes over a variety of time horizons to determine an appropriate investment strategy for clients’ portfolios as well as manage volatility and downside risk.
We also provide investors with access to alternative income asset classes, through a multi-strategy solution as well as single asset class strategies. These include investments in areas such as infrastructure (both debt and equity), real estate financing, structured finance and corporate private placements.
