Our investment platform consists of multiple specialist teams working closely together.  This enables us to provide a wide range of tailored solutions for our Clients across the risk/return spectrum.  

Financial solutions

A pioneer in Liability Driven Investment (LDI), we have achieved a reputation in creating tailored financial solutions.

We are one of the largest independent derivatives managers in the UK. We have established Insight at the forefront of investment risk management with extensive use of derivatives to achieve a high level of precision. Insight’s dedicated FSG team develops strategic funding solutions for pension fund clients as well as structured propositions for our retail client base.

Fixed income

The fixed income team at Insight is one of the largest and most experienced in the UK. Our fixed income professionals are specialists and focus on specific investment areas that combine to give us in-depth knowledge of the opportunities across government and inflation-linked bonds, corporate bonds, money markets, emerging markets, high yield and currencies.

Specialist investment

Absolute return: Our absolute return strategies combine the ideas and expertise of a number of teams at Insight including money markets, fixed income, equity and alternative investments. Each of the funds is managed by a dedicated lead and deputy portfolio manager, in turn supported by their broader team within the investment division.

Specialist Equities: Our highly-experienced specialist equities team is focused on adding value through informed, opportunistic stock selection for its market neutral, absolute return solutions and income-orientated investment strategies.  Using a team-based approach which brings together expert research skills alongside specialist active fund management and an established equity investment process we aim to drive consistent, repeatable performance.

Agriculture: Our first commodity fund, the Global Farmland Fund, will be managed by Insight’s alternatives team, supported by the private equity team and the multi-asset strategy group. In addition, Insight will leverage their exclusive relationship with leading agriculture consulting business, Agra CEAS. Agra CEAS are a provider of specialist advice and analysis in the areas of world agriculture, commodities, biofuels, rural development, environment and trade.

Multi-asset strategy

The multi-asset strategy group is made up of three areas; investment management, asset allocation and the multi-asset group

Investment Strategy: The investment management team act as a research unit providing investment strategy analysis across a range of asset classes and macroeconomic, as well as, market timing issues.

Asset allocation : The asset allocation team are responsible for determining and managing asset allocation strategies across multi-asset portfolios. All investment teams at Insight leverage the quantitative research undertaken by the asset allocation team.

The team has extensive expertise in risk management, equity and fixed income management, derivatives and quantitative analysis. Working alongside Insight’s other investment teams, they are also able to draw on specialist knowledge where necessary.

Multi-asset: Our multi-asset group has a diverse yet complementary background of experience that we believe adds a layer of strength to our process. Each member of the team brings different skills, including those of portfolio manager, strategist, quantitative analyst and equity analyst, meaning that prospective underlying holdings are scrutinised from several different perspectives.
