About us
QIC commenced operations in 1989 and was formally established in 1991. Since then, we have grown to be one of the largest institutional investment managers in Australia, with more than 70 institutional clients and $65 billion* in funds under management.
Our heritage as a government-owned corporation has resulted in a passionate culture of total client focus and finding better ways to exceed our clients’ investment objectives. Our unique history of traditionally managing the total investment portfolio for very large clients has enabled us to pursue and adapt innovative investment solutions that few other fund managers have been able to do.
Dynamic investment solutions
Today, QIC is the leading provider of dynamic investment solutions for super funds and other institutional investors. We are experts at developing an intimate knowledge of our clients’ investment goals, and creating and adapting tailored investment solutions that continue to perform over time.
Some dynamic investment solutions we've developed for our clients include:
- risk management solutions for liquidity and counterparty risk, which we put in place well before the global financial crisis (GFC) hit
- a dynamic asset allocation process that has positioned client portfolios to benefit from extreme valuations both before and after the GFC
- an after-tax investing approach that has delivered real bottom-line benefits despite investment market conditions
- inflation protection solutions that are customised and cost efficient.
QIC House of Boutiques
As a house of highly specialised investment boutiques, we offer practical investment solutions that are meaningful at the whole-of-portfolio level in fixed interest, property, infrastructure, capital markets, private equity, equities and quantitative management. We continually innovate to meet our clients’ changing objectives in the ever-evolving investment environment.
Our ‘House of Boutiques’ model provides investors with the specialisation, responsiveness and client-alignment of a boutique with the backing of a large investment manager.
