Taiwan’s Bureau of Labor Insurance announced on Tuesday (October 30) that the Labor Insurance Fund (LIF) had dished out US$450 million worth of its global emerging market debt mandate to three asset managers: Stone Harbor Investment Partners, BlueBay Asset Management, and Templeton Asset Management. Each received $150 million.
The duration of the appointment is five years. The JPMorgan GBI-EM Global Diversified, Investment Grade Index is being used as the benchmark for the mandate.
LIF initially outsourced $350 million of assets to foreign managers in November 2009. These assets had recorded accumulated returns of 26.94%, to $444.38 million, as of the end of September.
