AMX platform celebrates $10bn milestone on its third anniversary

When Willis Towers Watson set up the Asset Management Exchange (AMX) in 2017, the concept of an alternative investment manager platform was more buzz than reality. Since then, the exchange has attracted managers and strategies across the institutional asset management spectrum. Three short years after the launch, officials announced reaching $10 billion in assets with managers active across equities, credit and hedge funds. This past year, AMX has seen more investment in equities and credit funds rather than hedge funds, officials said. Investors have plenty to choose from. The managers participating on the platform include names such as AXA Investment Management, ARP Investments, Magnetar Capital, Trend Capital, State Street Global Advisors, Veritas Asset Management, Cantab, Fulcrum, Graticule Asset Management, Systematica Investments, and Landsdowne Partners. “AMX has experienced impressive growth over the past year due to the addition of new managers and strategies to the platform,” said Oliver Jaegemann, CEO of AMX. “With clients across multiple jurisdictions, AMX has become a global, cross-asset solution for both investors and managers. It is an exciting time for all of us at AMX and we have set ambitious growth targets for the future as we continue to transform the investment industry. The platform negotiates with managers, transitions assets, provides reporting and adds an extra layer of oversight. Officials stress that it is open to all investors and managers across the investment industry.
