The A$170m mandate to the Aikya Global Emerging Markets Strategy is the first secured by the UK- based investment boutique after being established by a team of highly experienced Emerging Markets investors in March 2020. Pinnacle is a minority equity partner and provides distribution services and other non-investment support functions.
Aikya Portfolio Manager, Ashish Swarup, said the appointment demonstrates a high degree of confidence in Aikya’s well-established Emerging Markets investment processes.
“We are pleased to be partnering with a forward-thinking Australian superannuation fund, with a sound reputation for investment acumen and responsible investing,” said Mr Swarup.
