Asset Management

Cantor Fitzgerald Asset Management

Our sole objective is to achieve the best investment returns for our clients

In June 2023, Merrion Capital Investment Managers Limited underwent a name change to bring them under the Cantor Fitzgerald brand portfolio. After their acquisition by Cantor Fitzgerald Ireland Limited in November 2018, the investment management was renamed Cantor Fitzgerald Asset Management Europe (CFAME) trading as Cantor Fitzgerald Asset Management (CFAM).

 

Cantor Fitzgerald Asset Management is Ireland’s Number 1 performing pension and investment fund manager in the Irish market since its inception. Originally established in 1986, the team has a strong track record in multi-asset investing dating back to 1993. Through an investment approach that is underpinned by genuine active management, the team makes active investment decisions based on a robust three-pillar investment process and manages investments on behalf of institutional, corporate, non-profit clients and high-net-worth individuals.

Robust Investment Strategy

We are market-focused and style-agnostic, and we aim to deliver superior performance in a range of market environments.

Active Management

We make active investment decisions based on our robust three-pillar investment process of macro-economic, valuation and technical analysis.

Sector and Regional Focus

We’re mindful that economic cycles are becoming increasingly global, making industry and sectoral allocations as important as regional weightings.
