Business Wire
Macquarie Investment Management, the investment management
division of Macquarie Group, announced today that it has entered
into an agreement to acquire Luxembourg-based ValueInvest Asset
Management S.A. (ValueInvest).
ValueInvest is a specialised asset management business which
pursues a unique value-oriented investment strategy across global
and Japanese equities. The business is based in the Grand Duchy of
Luxembourg and has approximately €4 billion in assets under
management as at 31 December 2017. The deal is expected to close in
mid-2018. Terms were not disclosed.
Ben Bruck, global head of Macquarie Investment Management, said:
“Investors today need skilled active managers across a diverse
range of asset classes. Part of our strategy is to selectively
expand and strengthen our global capabilities by adding the best
investment talent to the business. ValueInvest will be an excellent
complement to our existing high-conviction equity strategies, and
we believe Macquarie’s multiboutique equity structure and global
investment platform will provide a natural fit for the ValueInvest
team.”
Founded in 1998, ValueInvest brings a team of 17 professionals
to Macquarie and will continue to be led by Jesper Alsing, chief
executive officer, and Jens Hansen, chief investment officer.
ValueInvest will join Macquarie’s multiboutique equity structure
led by John Leonard, global head of equities for Macquarie
Investment Management.
“We are excited to join a firm with a strong investment
culture,” said Alsing. “We were attracted by Macquarie’s breadth
and resources as a leading global asset management company which
will enable us to better serve our clients. We will remain strongly
aligned with our clients, focused on delivering strong
risk-adjusted returns over the long term.”
Macquarie has an existing presence in Luxembourg and this
acquisition reflects the business’s continued commitment to the
country, in addition to its strategy to expand its global equities
capabilities and distribution reach across Europe.
