Macquarie Asset Management wins coveted ‘Investment Manager of the Year’ at the Financial Standard Investment Leadership Awards 2024
For the second year in a row, Macquarie Asset Management has been awarded Investment Manager of the Year at the 2024 Financial Standard Investment Leadership Awards, recognising leaders in the wealth management industry.
The Financial Standard Investment Leadership Awards recognise investment strategies that showcase qualities investors are looking for in an investment manager. We aim to provide high-quality investment products and expert management to our clients, so we are incredibly proud to be recognised for this commitment.
In addition to winning Investment Manager of the Year, the Macquarie Dynamic Bond Fund also won in the Fixed Income – Aggregate Bond category for the second year in a row.
Upon receiving these awards, Brent Andal, Head of ANZ Wealth Sales, said: “as a leading global asset manager, Macquarie Asset Management is committed to delivering positive outcomes and seeks to deliver superior results over the long term for our clients. We are thrilled to receive this recognition as we continue to work collaboratively with clients across market segments to build strategies that meet their objectives.”
Access our dynamic global bond solution via an active ETF
Amid heightened volatility in global economies, markets and in geo-politics, we think an allocation to an active global bond fund presents investors with a compelling opportunity. While passive bond funds weight to the index, active managers look to understand the quality of each investment and source opportunities across countries, curves, and individual issuers, paving the way for investing with conviction.
“The current yield levels of global bonds are at one of the most attractive entry points in the past two decades,” says Matthew Mulcahy, Head of Global Fixed Income and lead portfolio manager for the Macquarie Dynamic Bond Fund. “Central banks are nearing the end of their tightening cycles, and a potential economic slowdown or rise in geopolitical tensions, could lead to declining yields. Our investment philosophy navigates these complexities by focusing on adding value through active management and investing in high-quality liquid securities. Across a range of strategies, our approach has performed well in both rate rising and falling environments. We’re proud to be recognised for our expertise and commitment to delivering leading dynamic bond solutions to investors.”
Macquarie Fixed Income has grown to be one of Australia’s largest, active fixed income managers, with a team of ~120 dedicated investment professionals globally, and over A$290bn1 in AUM globally. The team’s Macquarie Dynamic Bond Fund offers investors a unique approach to their fixed income portfolio – actively positioned based on our market outlook aiming to capitalise on the best opportunities on offer across global markets. This truly active approach offers investors the potential for attractive returns across market cycles.
The Macquarie Dynamic Bond Fund is also now available to you as an active ETF.
