FUND PROFILE


MAY 2012


Ignis provides the stability of a well-capitalised investment business with some £73.3bn* in assets under management and distributes a range of global investment services.


Investment performance, and the risk taken to achieve it, is at the heart of the business model. Ignis believes that entrepreneurial teams applying pragmatic investment approaches suited to their asset classes are best placed to meet, or exceed, clients’ performance needs. The Ignis teams, operating within business units, are able to devise their own process while sharing a common pool of resources.


Real Estate is a key competency for Ignis. The Ignis Real Estate team seeks to


maintain high and stable income streams by investing predominantly in portfolios of institutional quality bricks and mortar assets. The investment process employed places a heavy emphasis on capital preservation and maximising the income potential from assets held. This approach has generated outstanding long-term performance and earned the team a strong reputation within the industry.


Ignis Real Estate currently manages £3.3bn in a mixture of segregated mandates and collectives, including flagship products, the Ignis UK Property Fund (an £932m open ended unit trust) and the UK Commercial Property Trust*. Both the collectives have produced strong returns on a long-term basis.
