Global Equities

The Equities team invest in shares in the stock market. They research individual companies by assessing their fundamentals using a bottom-up approach, looking in-depth at a company. They are stock pickers. The teams regularly meet with company management teams, internal and external analysts, and carry out their own stock specific analysis to decide whether a company is under or overvalued. We are long-term shareholders and integrate environmental, social and governance issues into our investment decisions.

Credit

The Credit team invest in bonds which are loans that are borrowed for a defined period of time. They act as lenders to companies across a range of markets. Credit is a broad and diverse asset class, meaning that many investments are evaluated from both a bottom up and a top down perspective (examine various economic factors, that affect the overall market). Portfolio managers and analysts evaluate each opportunity based on macro-economic, fundamental, valuation and technical attributes in order to assess where price has deviated from fair value.

Multi-asset and Macro

Our team takes a top down approach to investing and follows the economics and politics across both developed and emerging economies. In doing so we hope to uncover long term investable trends such as an improving growth outlook for an economy which will impact central bank policy or equity inflows. The team aims look through short-term market noise to come up with a central economic scenario (our house view) and strategically allocate our assets in long term positions on that basis. At the we can react and protect our portfolio. In a constantly changing world this team strives to find a steady path which will provide the best return for our clients. Debating this path both internally as a team and collaboratively with the fixed income and equity teams makes this area a diverse and stimulating place to work on a daily basis.

Real Assets

We offer investment solutions targeting secure long income, highly diversified portfolios targeting income and growth, as well as specialist funds targeting tactical, higher growth outcomes. We invest in specific sectors, in single countries, regionally or globally, and invest across the real estate spectrum, both directly and indirectly, and in equity and real estate debt. We offer management services targeting benchmark relative, cash relative or absolute returns. We also provide investors with access to alternative income asset classes, through a multi-strategy solution as well as single asset class strategies. These include investments in areas such as infrastructure (both debt and equity), real estate financing, structured finance and corporate private placements.

Global Client Solutions

The Global Client Solutions (GCS) division is responsible for the distribution of our investment capabilities, as well as developing, growing and protecting our client relationships. Our clients are all investors – pension schemes, insurance companies and financial intermediaries, such as banks, plus their advisors and investment consultants. Working in GCS will provide you with an understanding of how Asset Managers bring their investment expertise to market, how we develop client relationships, and give you exposure to one of the most quickly-evolving areas of the Asset Management industry.

Global Investment Solutions

We provide bespoke portfolio solutions to meet investors’ needs. The team gives asset allocation and structuring advice across the full spectrum of global asset classes. The new solutions function will work closely with the real assets, equities, multi-asset and macro and credit teams to manage and develop distinctive solutions for both internal and external clients. Our investment desks share a common investment goal which is to deliver the specific and meaningful outcomes that matter most to today’s investor. Our innovative multi-strategy range, launched in 2014, brings together our full global investment capabilities across a broad range of disciplines. These strategies do not seek to beat any specific benchmark, but instead aim to provide a more certain investment outcome for clients.

The graduate pathway at Aviva Investors provides opportunity and early responsibility - the perfect environment to acquire the knowledge and expertise to have a successful career in Investment Management.
