Britannic Asset Management launched a high alpha Global Equity Fund in recognition of the importance of real added value in a low inflation environment.
Britannic feels that global equity fund, which is unconstrained by benchmarks, is the type of pensions approach many people are looking for.
The pension fund uses a system to identify the best areas to invest in on a global scale, thereby making it more likely to give investors greater returns.
"Our 'best of the best' approach means we choose only the best ideas in each sector or country and ignore the tail of stocks held for risk control purposes," explained the sales and marketing director, Jonathan Polin.
"The Britannic Global Focus Pension Fund is designed to meet the growing demand from institutional investors for a high conviction, focused portfolio which will target much higher returns than is typical for a benchmarked global equity mandate," he said.
The Global Focus Pension Fund uses the MASAM strategy model, a sector modelling tool that picks out the best of the best in the world of investments.
Since Britannic started using the system for its unit trust last July the trust has outperformed the MSCI World Index, with a 7.4 per cent return compared with 2.2 per cent.
Britannic is a forward looking financial services group specialising in asset management and ownership and administration of closed life and pension funds.
Britannic Asset Management (BAM) has been managing equities, bonds and property on behalf of individuals and large institutional clients for decades.
Britannic Group owns and administers closed life funds through its Assured Services division, including those of Britannic Assurance, Alba Life and Britannic Retirement Solutions.
