We are a leading fund management company with offices in London, Tokyo, Boston, Madrid and Frankfurt. At 30 September 2009, we had more than £21 billion* invested with us and we continue to focus on delivering investment performance on behalf of our clients
We know the fund management business inside out. We've been building up our knowledge and skills for more than 30 years. We specialise in traditional investment funds and alternative investments.
We have a history of investing in markets before others. We were the first to launch an investment trust investing specifically in Ireland, ahead of its boom. We were one of the first to set up China specific funds in 1983, and also the first to introduce a UK registered emerging markets fund in 1987.
Our fund managers have more freedom to follow their own views. They make their own decisions, based on their own views and skills, spotting opportunities missed by others. But they are supported by our independent investment risk team and Chief Investment Officer, so risk is always controlled. It's a managed but flexible process, so our investment teams can handle the markets in good times and bad.
Since 2007 we have won more than 40 industry awards. Among these is the Gold Standard Award which we have been awarded for three years running recognising our high level of service, fair value for clients, and financial stability.

Threadneedle is an international, results-driven asset manager, offering alpha-generating strategies across all major asset classes and geographies. Established in 1994, we manage £60 billion assets for wholesale, institutional and private investors in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
We seek to generate out-performance through all market cycles for our clients. Our investment philosophy is driven by the search for multiple, uncorrelated sources of alpha, with no attachment to any particular investment style. We first develop original, fundamentally driven research insights and then implement risks that are understood, measured and intended. This flexible, dynamic approach has produced an excellent long-term track record of identifying key valuation drivers and making timely style adjustments to portfolios.

It is also often one step ahead of the national media in its coverage of important developments, particularly when delivering the complete team analysis of events such as the Pensions Commission, the Treasury’s Budget and government/FSA consultations and papers.
IFAonline users are encouraged to respond to stories and analysis either through our discussion boards or by leaving a message on our reader phone line which then allows us to broadcast their comments as audio files to interested site users.

Retirement Planner is a features driven monthly magazine that aims to break down complex issues and present them to advisers in an easily digestible format. The retirement planning market is highly complex and Retirement Planner is a valuable resource that the adviser can keep on their desks for future reference.
Increasing longevity has highlighted the importance of having appropriate measures in place to fund retirement. However, the reality is that many people drastically underestimate how long they are expected to live and put off making retirement provision until too late. As a result many of today's pensioners struggle to make ends meet – a far cry from the traditional picture of a comfortable retirement that many aspire to.
Advisers are under increasing pressure to raise their clients' awareness of the importance of saving for retirement whether within a pension or other vehicle. In addition to this they have to get to grips with rafts of regulation affecting how they conduct their business.
Retirement Planner seeks to assist the adviser in understanding the latest developments in a meaningful way. By providing in depth analysis of the issues that matter Retirement Planner looks beneath the surface and gives the adviser the information they need to help them support their clients in the best way possible.
Professional Adviser would like to thank our partners for their support of fund5live.
