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.
