PIM offers innovative solutions that focus on managing absolute and relative downside risk specific to its clients’ needs. The firm focuses on delivering superior risk-adjusted returns across a range of mandates. Although PIM maintains its focus on key South African portfolios, as an innovator and in its search for yield, it has added offshore domiciled funds to its range of solutions. These give clients access to other currencies and markets as part of a diversification strategy and also offer access to growing markets where a higher return is possible.
