Two asset owners – a Belgian pension fund and a Western European investor – have issued separate requests for information as a first step to define its requirements and needs in terms of identifying in which strategy to invest in, ahead of releasing official mandates.
According to search DS-2589, the Belgian pension fund is planning to issue an active European ESG/all large cap equity segregated mandate, potentially worth €60m.
Additionally, the Western European investor, via search DS-2588, is considering issuing a core European (ex UK) real estate brief, actively managed also through a segregated account.
Participating managers can submit different strategies by the deadlines, which have been set for 21 January, 17:00 UK time, for the Belgian pension fund, and 20 January, 17:00 UK time, for the Western European investor.
Other Discovery notices include search DS-2587 for a $500m (€448m) global/regional low volatility equities mandate with a deadline of 10 January.
