Parametric is pleased to announced that it is celebrating 30 years of growth across the globe this week.

Chris Briant, Chief Executive Officer of Parametric Australia  notes: “We are proud to be part of a growing and evolving investment management firm.

Given Parametric’s success in the U.S, it was a natural evolution to turn to the Australian market and superannuation funds in particular. Super funds’ taxed status – quite unusual by world standards – has made Parametric’s after-tax investment focus a perfect fit.

We are starting to see signs that the Australian business will follow a similar trajectory to the U.S.  Our Australian business doubled in size last year and after just five years of entry in Australia, we now manage around AUD8 billion across a range of tax-managed and systematic alpha solutions.”

“Super funds  have left the GFC years well behind and are starting again to pay attention to the tax they are paying on their double-digit returns. We are seeing strong interest in particular in our Tax-Managed Centralised Portfolio Management (CPM), Tax-Managed Factor and Tax-Managed Indexing equity solutions.

We also have an innovative way of constructing equity exposure with specific low volatility and downside protection features which super funds seem interested in as a post-retirement solution,” he noted.

Founded in 1987, Parametric manages over USD200 billion in assets for institutional and high net worth investors. The firm develops customized beta and systematic active strategies and overlay solutions that are rooted in investment science and constructed in a transparent, risk-managed way to provide clients with repeatable outcomes.
