    Introducing Insight Investment Europe
    Our operational and governance framework in Ireland acts as the UCITS and AIFM manager for Insight’s Irish domiciled investment funds. Our Irish company offers institutional clients domiciled in EU member states with scale and expertise in portfolio management services, providing access to our solutions and fixed income capabilities.

    Our team of 24 based in Europe offer expertise covering a range of investment capabilities. The team benefit from the support of Insight’s broader investment resources, client solutions capability, consultant relations and business development teams. Our European business is led by Colm McDonagh, CEO of Insight Europe. Colm has 27 years of industry experience with 15 years at Insight Investment. He was appointed CEO in 2020 and continues to be a senior member of the investment strategy group at Insight.

    Insight’s history in Europe dates back to our firm's inception in 2002. Insight Investment Management (Europe) Ltd (IIMEL) was incorporated in 2016 as we prepared to support our EU clients in light of the UK’s exit from the European Union.

      Portfolio management

    • The risk-management framework within Insight covers all levels of the firm, including business department level, team level (individual investment teams and support departments) and activity level (detailed processes and systems). It is therefore a central part of the governance structure which allows the risks arising within various entities and teams to be managed in a consistent manner.

    • The IIMEL board, with three independent directors, is standalone from the Insight group entities

    • IIMEL has the appropriate passports to provide segregated asset management services to clients in Germany, Netherlands, Malta, Sweden, Austria, France, Italy, Denmark, Finland, Belgium and Luxembourg, and has received such confirmation from the BaFin.

    • IIMEL is authorised to provide Individual Portfolio Management services allowing it to manage segregated mandates. IIMEL is also responsible for the operation of Insight’s Ireland-domiciled funds and is authorised as an AIFM and UCITS investment manager that can delegate some functions to third parties.

    • IIMEL sub-delegates portfolio management to Insight Investment Management (Global) Limited (IIMG). IIMEL may also use the services of Insight North America, LLC (INA) for certain aspects of portfolio management. Insight does not sub-delegate portfolio management activities to any external third parties, nor are there any outsourcing arrangements of any investment management activities.
