Thornburg is pleased to announce that it has appointed Concord Capital Management Corporation as its private placement agent to help market its global equities and fixed income UCITS and separately managed account solutions to institutions and high-net-worth investors in Taiwan.
SANTA FE, NM/TAIPEI, TAIWAN — 20 August 2020 — Thornburg Investment Management (“Thornburg”), a global investment firm that oversees US$41 billion1, today announced that it has appointed Concord Capital Management Corporation (“Concord”) as its private placement agent in Taiwan. Concord will help Thornburg market its global equities and fixed income UCITS and separately managed account solutions to institutions and high-net-worth investors in Taiwan.
“We look forward to working with Thornburg to introduce the firm’s wide range of investment strategies to investors in Taiwan,” said Concord Chairman and Managing Director David Lay. “Concord has an established track record of bringing quality boutique offshore investment management firms to Taiwan, and we are pleased to partner with Thornburg on strategies that strive to deliver risk-adjusted returns to investors seeking growth and income.”
Thornburg established an office in Hong Kong in 2019 as its Asia-Pacific hub to serve institutional and high-net-worth clients. The addition of Concord as the firm’s private placement agent in Taiwan will help propel the expansion of Thornburg’s business in Asia, which is expected to become one of its strategic growth drivers.
“We are excited to bring our investment solutions to institutions and high-net-worth investors in Taiwan, and begin our first collaboration in the market with Concord,” said Thornburg President and CEO Jason Brady. “As active managers, we believe our nearly four decades of success building fixed income and global equity portfolios, while navigating through a variety of market cycles, will help investors in Taiwan reach their goals.”
