Fund managers

Eagle Star Investments

Our investment team is based in Blackrock, Co. Dublin and is responsible for managing funds of over €7.6 billion as at 31st March 2009. Its leaders have been together for more than fifteen years.

We have an integrated team-based investment process which ensures that we implement our investment strategy quickly and effectively. It is the close co-operation of our fund managers in making investment decisions across assets, sectors and markets that differentiates us from other fund managers.

We are active investment managers with a macro economic approach which is top-down and asset allocation driven. We believe the macro economic environment is the key driver of investment decisions hence we do not rigidly adhere to a growth or value investment style - instead we operate a rotational style bias reflective of where we are in the economic cycle.

We have established an excellent reputation for investment performance and client service. This is borne out by the many accolades received by the company.
