Our parent company, Allianz SE, is one of the leading financial services providers worldwide. Founded in 1890, Allianz has more than one hundred years of asset management expertise to its name. Back in 1998, Allianz saw the opportunity to create a unique asset management business by integrating all of its major asset management units under one roof.
Over the past decade, Allianz Global Investors has grown organically and through a series of strategic acquisitions. In September 2011, Allianz's asset management division was restructured to recognise two discrete investment management businesses, one of which is Allianz Global Investors.
Since January 2012, Allianz Global Investors has become a globally-integrated investment management company encompassing a broad and distinct range of investment capabilities.
