The Australian Opportunity Why International Managers should look at the Australian market We believe that the Australian market offers significant opportunities for foreign- based managers looking to expand internationally. Key aspects of the Australian market that make it appealing are as follows: One of the largest pension funds markets in the world and growing, with compulsory employer contributions of at least 9% p.a. A very sophisticated market that is prepared to consider new products and new managers. A market where asset consultants are heavily involved, including familiar international names such as William M.Mercer, Frank Russell and Watson Wyatt. An open market in which foreign-based managers are able to compete on level terms with domestic players. An English Law jurisdiction (similar to USA, UK, HK & NZ)
