Troika To Manage $6 Billion For Russia State Nanotechnology Co.
|
|
(Nanowerk News) Moscow-based Troika Dialogue Asset Management said Tuesday it has been hired to manage $6 billion of funds held by Russia's state nanotechnology investment company.
|
|
"The role of Troika Dialogue will be to deploy the money before it is invested in nanotechnology," the asset manager's President Pavel Teplukhin told Dow Jones Newswires at a conference in Singapore.
|
|
Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies will entrust Troika Dialogue with the funds later this month, and the asset manager will invest mainly in the Russian bond market, Teplukhin said.
|
|
The new mandate will more than double the asset manager's current portfolio, which now totals about $5 billion.
|
|
Teplukhin said Troika will be paid a fixed annual management fee and there will be no performance-based compensation.
|
|
Troika Dialogue Asset Management is a unit of privately-held investment bank Troika Dialogue Group.
