Colchester Global Investors is an independent, global government bond manager and was founded in 1999 by Ian Sims, Chairman and Chief Investment Officer. Colchester manages approximately US$30bn for international clients across a variety of investment products: Global Bond, Global Inflation-Linked Bond, Local Currency Emerging Market Debt and Global Unconstrained Alpha. Colchester has a singular investment process which is applied in the same way to all the different products managed. We value bond markets according to their real yields (i.e. the rate of return they offer after inflation) and currencies according to their real exchange rate valuations. Both bond and currency valuations are adjusted for the balance sheet strength of the underlying country and ESG factors. Colchester is majority owned by its employees, allowing constancy of purpose and an alignment of interests between employees and clients. The firm is headquartered in London and has regional offices in New York, Singapore, Dublin, Dubai and Sydney.
