.:. Overview
Old Mutual Malawi Asset Managers is a
division of Old Mutual Life Assurance Company (
Malawi
)
Limited (OMLAC(M)) a 100 % owned subsidiary of Old Mutual Malawi
Limited (OMML). OMML is a subsidiary of Old Mutual plc, a global
financial services group, listed on the London Stock Exchange, and a
member of the FTSE 100. Ultimately OMLAC(M) is owned by Old Mutual plc.
The Group was established in
South Africa
in 1845 and
has cultivated an enviable reputation for integrity and client
security, which remains a priority.
In January 2008, OMLAC(M) developed and
implemented a fully fledged Asset Management Division, significantly
enhancing our market presence within the industry. We currently have
over MK36billion in assets under management, making us the market
leaders in asset management services in
Malawi
.
With a team of 7 investment
professionals with over 100 years investment experience, OMLAC(M) is
ideally placed to compete in Malawi for the management of institutional
assets on behalf of clients, with a proven track record for integrity,
respect, accountability and superior investment performance in local
and international markets.
OMLAC(M)’s team of professionals
strives to deliver consistent performance. We believe that the bedrock
of successful asset management lies in our unwavering commitment to a
structured and disciplined research methodology, giving us our
competitive advantage. This is integrally linked to the recognition of
both client needs and the superior level of service demanded by the asset
management industry.
OMLAC(M) is licensed as a
Portfolio/Investment Manager. The licence was issued by the Reserve
Bank of
Malawi
under the Capital Market Development Act, 1990.
OMLAC(M) Investment
Philosophy
We
believe that the consistent implementation of our investment philosophy
combined with our steadfast team approach and entrepreneurial structure
is fundamental to the well being and success of our existing clients
and new business opportunities in the future. Our philosophy is having
a clear understanding of the portfolio as well as our client’s risk
profiles. This enables us to structure portfolios with an appropriate
degree of risk, and manage funds according to client mandates.
A disciplined investment process
Process
is what underpins our success, which is why we have structured our
investment process to deliver portfolios which outperform and consistently
add value relative to client mandated benchmarks. Our investment
process is robust, repeatable and built upon a team based, disciplined
foundation. We follow an active investment process, underpinned by
incisive proprietary research, which appraises the economic scenario as
well as sector and individual company information. We have structured
our investment team into a specialist team which leverages our Group’s
equity and fixed income research platforms and experience. Each member
in the team is acutely aware of his role, responsibility and
accountability.
In-depth analysis and research
Information
is hard currency in the investment industry, and we know that it is
what keeps us ahead. We believe in the power of focus, and our team
members possess an in-depth, intimate understanding of their
discipline, be it economics, a particular asset class, or industry
sector.
We provide
our experts with the most advanced analytical tools and technological
systems, in order to assist them in their search for value. This
dedication enables us to uncover tomorrow’s winning companies at an
early stage – before other investors have discovered them. We find
those rare opportunities that demonstrate the kind of leading
competitive advantage we’re looking for: investments that can offer the
long-term durability and sustainable returns we demand for our clients.
Infrastructure and
support
The
company culture of the Old Mutual Group, with OMLAC(M) being no
exception, is built around creating a dynamic and rewarding environment
that fosters innovation - and challenges individuals to achieve the
best performance possible. This means a culture with less bureaucracy,
where each person has the courage to make decisions and act on them - a
culture in which each and every one of our employees is driven by
results and motivated by success. We instil in our employees a deep sense of responsibility and a
keen awareness of the fact that we manage third party monies.
We also
recognise that innovation and thought leadership are dependent on
effective and reliable technology and therefore, our investment
expertise and research capabilities are backed by the most
sophisticated investment management and administrative systems
available.
Effective risk management and control
At OMLACM,
our investment process focuses equally on risk and return. We know that
risk management is not only about protecting against loss, but is also
a key component of effective portfolio construction. Risk management is
deeply embedded in our investment processes.
Our
expertise and disciplined approach to risk management ensures that we
produce investment performance at risk levels which suit the specific
needs of each individual client. Client-specific guidelines are
integral to the investment process and adherence to guidelines are considered
and monitored on an ongoing basis.
Size and stability
An
international reputation is a formidable advantage – something we enjoy
as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Old Mutual Group. Operating as a
registered fund/asset management company in
Malawi
, OMLAC(M) offers
local clients a cut above the rest due to collaborative experiences and
expertise with our global asset management set up. For investors, our size means
stability, reliability, reputation and the reassurance of investing
with a manager capable of delivering on their requirements.
Global Connections
While we
enjoy a firmly rooted Malawian asset management base, we are also part
of a large and experienced global investment organisation. Our
investment teams effectively leverage these global resources, sharing
research and best practices through continuous interaction with Old
Mutual Asset Management operations in
South Africa
and around the
world. By drawing on the
specialist skills within the global group, we provide clients with
access to specialist international asset management capabilities and
expertise. This means that we
are better able to meet our clients’ needs, and provide an asset
management service comparable with the best in the world.
