Overview

IFM Investors is a global investment management company with capabilities across Debt Investments, Infrastructure, Listed Equities and Private Equity. The company is owned by 28 major not-for-profit Australian pension funds.^[2] Headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, IFM Investors also has offices in Sydney, New York City, London, Berlin, Tokyo and Hong Kong.^[3]

History

Established in 1990,^[1] the firm started off as the Development Australia Fund (DAF Limited). It was established to invest in growing Australian private and public companies and infrastructure assets. Its focus is to maximise investor returns and to challenge the profit-focused investment management model. In 1994, Industry Funds Services (IFS) was established to provide advice and specialist investment expertise in infrastructure, private equity and Australian equities. ^[4] Industry Funds Management (IFM) was created through the merger of IFS Capital Group and DAF Limited in 2004. ^[5]

Industry Funds Management (IFM) changed its name to IFM Investors in 2013. ^[6]

Corporate Responsibilities

IFM Investors has been a signatory^[7] to the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI) since 2008 and has a Group Corporate Environmental, Social & Governance Policy that determines its approach to the governance of investee entities.
