Rogge Global Partners, founded in 1984 by Olaf Rogge, is established in the industry as one of the forerunners in specialist global fixed interest management. Our sole focus and area of expertise lie within the fixed interest arena. 100% of our resources are dedicated to providing bespoke global fixed interest solutions to a diverse global institutional client base. Our total assets under management as at 30 September 2008, is c. AUD 43.5 billion.
Our disciplined investment philosophy and process is applied across all our clients’ portfolios. Our responsibility as a global fixed interest manager is to honour our fiduciary duty towards all our institutional clients indiscriminately. We are a long term value investor and do not believe a ‘one size fits all’ approach is beneficial for all clients. We are proud to be one of the very few investment firms who continue to provide client driven, tailor made investment solutions.
Since gaining our first Asia Pacific client in 1999, the region has grown to become of strategic importance to Rogge. Our Asia Pacific institutional client base constitutes c. 33% of our total assets under management.
Rogge’s relationship with TCorp began in July 2006, with the management of a high credit quality global bond portfolio benchmarked against the JP Morgan Global Government Bond Index hedged to Australian Dollars. The portfolio aims to take advantage of movements in developed country debt and currency markets while keeping risk at a level consistent with target returns. Global bond mandates of this type have been Rogge’s specialty since the firm was founded. We believe this dedication to a single asset class and focus on working closely with each of our clients has been a key factor behind our ability to maintain long standing partnerships with our clients.
