Lombard Odier Investment Managers (LOIM) and Ownership Capital are pleased to announce the signing of heads of terms for the integration of Ownership Capital, a leading long-horizon equity manager, into LOIM’s wider sustainability business, subject to final agreement and regulatory approvals.
Ownership Capital is a Dutch asset manager with a long-term investment focus. The investment approach is built on deep analysis of material sustainability factors and active ownership engagement to catalyse corporate and sustainability improvements, aiming to deliver superior long-term returns. The strategy was originally conceived in 2008, and the investment team is led by Otto van Buul.
With the close of the transaction, LOIM’s sustainable offering will reach the important milestone of USD 10bn under management, across risk-aware and high-conviction strategies, including internal products and a closely aligned external offering where it serves as the primary distributor.
The transaction demonstrates LOIM’s unswerving commitment to the growing, differentiated field of sustainable investing, and its important role as a major player and consolidator in the market.
