Allianz
Global Investors has adopted PFaroe to deliver effective,
cutting-edge analytical and reporting capabilities to defined benefit
(DB) pension plans in the US market. The depth and detail of PFaroe’s
analytics will allow AllianzGI to further enhance its asset allocation
expertise, fueling optimized strategy outcomes for clients.
Adopting PFaroe allows AllianzGI to scale its business operations for
its fixed income capabilities in the US market. The tool will be
utilized by the US Financial Institutions Group (FIG) led by Andy Wilmot
and the firm’s liability-driven investment (LDI) team, overseen by Carl
Pappo, CIO US Fixed Income, and Frank Salem, Senior PM on US Fixed
Income.
Andy Wilmot, Head of US FIG, comments: “As a long-time player in the DB
market, we are constantly looking for ways to further the depth and
breadth of our capabilities. The adoption of PFaroe’s analytics will
support our next phase of fixed income growth in the US by bringing the
US LDI strategy down market into the advisor-led space.”
Matthew Seymour, CEO, RiskFirst, adds: “We are delighted that AllianzGI
has chosen PFaroe as the tool for taking their business forward; helping
them to win new clients and build upon their existing strength in the
market. Having such a major name use our technology is another
significant step for us in the US market, as we continue to establish
PFaroe as the go-to for US asset owners, consultants and asset managers.”
