Old Mutual Global Index Trackers (“OMGXT”) was formed in South Africa in 2001 and is currently Africa’s largest index tracker house with $6.03bn in assets under management as of March 31, 2011. OMGXT’s vision is to build a world class index tracking business by providing clients, both locally and internationally, with cost effective access to niched markets - vanilla or customized through index tracking. OMGXT is able to service its global client base through offices in Boston, Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa. Our experience in managing funds in less liquid markets offers a unique opportunity for clients to gain access to markets such as Emerging, Frontier and Africa. OMGXT is housed within the Old Mutual Group via Old Mutual Investment Group South Africa (“OMIGSA”) which allows us to provide our clients with our niched management experience and world class governance standards.
OMGXT believes that passive fund management gives low cost access to the world’s least liquid markets that typically are more costly for higher volume trading strategies. We are able to assist clients in obtaining access to the world’s emerging and frontier markets which have a relatively low correlation to the developed markets. We believe that cost effective tracking solutions can add significant value to a clients’ overall investment portfolio.
