Tracking the Activities of Global Asset Managers in Latin America
The hiring of Juan Carlos Martin is expected to revitalize investments in alternative assets at Afore Citibanamex, which was recently put up for sale.
Luis de la Cerda, investment director, said the Afore was open to granting new mandates and to evaluating options in mutual funds when the time comes.
Afore Sura has given the green light to its diversification strategy in international investments, funding a global equity mandate valued at USD 150 million. Two more mandates for a total of USD 350 million are awaiting a final go-ahead.
Since investing the mandated assets in iShares global-equity ETFs would mean paying a double fees to BlackRock, Afore Sura has modified its mandate with the global firm to a no-cost advisory agreement.
Edurado Flores Herrera, vice-president of Securities Supervision at Mexico's CNBV, discussed with Fund Pro Latin America the new mechanisms in place to buffer the mutual-fund clients from market-induced shocks.
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.
