IPE-Quest
IPE-Quest is designed to bring together Institutional Investors and Asset Managers.
It provides Institutional Investors with easy-to-use web-based technology that delivers a manager long-list pre-RFP. And it allows Asset Managers to place their capabilities in any given asset class in front of potential clients.

During 2006 to end December, IPE-Quest notified 102 searches valued at more than EUR 5.5 billion. More than 600 asset managers are registered to reply to the wide range of searches on the site which is why an increasing number of institutional investors – including pension funds, private banks, insurance companies, multi-managers and investment consultants – use the service when conducting manager searches.
“On all the occasions we have used IPE-Quest I can only say that we have been very happy with your service / product. The use of IPE-Quest has lifted our searches for managers to a new level.”
Henrik Nøhr Poulsen, Head of Equities, Industriens Pension.
"IPE-Quest is an excellent resource for Martin Currie. The Requests for Information [application forms] are clear and concise, and allow us to register our interest for searches efficiently. We believe that this approach is advantageous for both potential clients and prospective managers."
RFP Team, Martin Currie Investment Management.
