Intech said that it will manage a global equities strategy benchmarked to the MSCI World ex Australia Index, and will draw from securities in the index to create a portfolio that will attempt to outperform the MSCI World ex Australia benchmark with equal or less risk.

This will be managed using Intech’s mathematical, risk-managed process designed to seek long-term returns in excess of the target benchmark.

Intech has managed global portfolios since 2005 and subsequently began offering its global-ex capability with the launch of the Intech Global Core ex Australia strategy and the Intech Global Core ex Japan strategy.
