PanAgora Asset Management

PanAgora Asset Management is a leading provider of actively managed, highly structured investment strategies that dynamically adapt to the market environment. We manage global investment opportunities across equities, bonds and currency using an approach that constantly incorporates new investment information to enhance performance. By applying innovative academic research (including models from other disciplines), we are able to identify, quantify, analyze and exploit determinants of investment value. We engineer risk control with great precision, thereby managing risk as we measure each investment's impact on the portfolio.

Thanks to our significant commitment to research, PanAgora was among the first managers to incorporate behavioral finance and synthetic investing into investment approaches. We were also one of the first firms to create a dedicated client service team maintaining an open door policy that has given our clients ready access to any member of our investment and management team since 1986.

Organized in 1985 and incorporated in 1989, PanAgora manages more than $17 billion in assets for pension plans, endowments, foundations, unions and financial service providers around the globe. Headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts and with an office in Frankfurt, the firm is privately owned by its principals: Putnam Investments (Boston), Nippon Life Insurance Company (Japan) and PanAgora Management Group.
