Merian Global Investors
Merian Global Investors formed in June 2018 when its management team, together with funds operated by the global growth private equity firm, TA Associates, acquired the “single-strategy” investment capabilities of Old Mutual Global Investors. As an independent firm, they are committed to continuing to build a successful, specialized asset management business. Central to the future of their business is a belief that their clients appreciate the value of active investment management when it delivers what they reasonably expect. Their strategy is to seek to attract and retain talented investment professionals, who are experts in their particular fields, and to provide them with the operational, risk management and distribution environment and support they need in order to thrive, yet without encumbering them with a blunt “house view” imposed by a chief investment officer.
