Despite having the option to invest in UCITS, Andres Moreno, Afore SURA’s CIO, believes mandates will end up being the cheaper alternative.
Hugo Petricioli expects 2021 to be another amazing year for the mutual fund industry in Mexico, and particularly for Franklin Templeton, which has just added GBM as one of its distributors.
The Amafore’s vice-president, Alvaro Melendez, says he expects the change to occur toward the end of July or beginning of August 2021.
Abraham Vela Dib, president of the Consar, argued that the regulator should have latitude to set offshore investment limits.
The former Afore Sura CEO’s new job is to work out how this retirement fund manager will take “the portfolios towards a better experience in which the client becomes the core of the investment process," Citi said in a statement.
The efforts of Pioneer's Gustavo Lozano in Mexico have helped land Pioneer two mandates (already funded) with Afore Banamex (European and Asian equity) and a third (not yet funded) with Afore Sura (global equity).
The pension manager hopes to fund this mandate - with Pioneer Investments, BlackRock, Investec Asset Management and Morgan Stanley - this year and will probably send a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a second mandate as well.
Encouraged by a 52% AUM increase in 2014, Afore Sura launched two new voluntary-investment vehicles with the aim of attracting MXP 1 billion in voluntary savings in 2015.
The president of the Consar, Carlos Ramírez Fuentes (photo), told Fund Pro Latin America that the agency believes mandates are quite important vehicles at the disposal of Afores, but acknowledged that the approval processes need to be sped up.
Emilio Bertrán, director of portfolios and mandate development manager, expects the mandate for a total of USD700 million to be funded in six or seven months.
