Zurich wins Fund Management Company of the year

Commenting on the award win David Warren, Chief Investment Officer at Zurich said “It’s a great honour for us to win this prestigious award and is testament to the dedication of the team at Zurich Investments to consistently deliver for our customers.”

Simplifying complexity with clever investment solutions

In determining the winner, the judges looked for companies that have demonstrated a ‘holistic’ approach to managing and planning for their client’s current and future needs. The judges said “Zurich's track record of innovation, expertise, and client-centric approach exemplifies excellence in the field. They simplify complexity with clever solutions for customers and their macro-economic analysis, asset allocation and alignment between market views and investment positions, has yielded consistent outperformance". 

Keep calm and carry on investing

The team at Zurich Investments are driven by the belief that ‘active’ investment management is the key driver of fund outperformance. Zurich Investments bring this philosophy to bear in the pension, savings, and investment products for hundreds of thousands of Irish investors. While managing money for investors is complex and challenging – investors are encouraged to trust in the expertise of Zurich Investments, let their fund manager look after their investment portfolio, and they can relax and focus on their lives.

Since their launch almost ten years ago, the Prisma funds have come to dominate customer preferences, and now account for approximately 70% of total new money invested with Zurich*.
• Responsibly managed: As an investment manager, we are conscious of the need to ensure that we invest policyholder and shareholder funds responsibly and including Environmental, Social and Governance considerations into our investments is imperative.
