#16 - Ian Macoun | How to Build, Support & Manage Top-Tier Fund Managers

Ian Macoun is the Managing Director of Pinnacle Investment Management Group (PNI.ASX). Pinnacle is a growing multi boutique, which provides non-investment, funds management services to investment managers known as affiliates. Currently they oversee $90 billion worth of FUM across 15 affiliate investment firms in various asset classes. Along with holding equity interests in their Affiliates, Pinnacle provides seed funding, global institutional and retail distribution, and industrial grade middle office and infrastructure services. This structure enables their affiliate investment managers to focus on what they do best, whilst Pinnacle takes care of the rest.For me I really enjoyed hearing Ian break down how Pinnacle came to be and why they have chosen to work with specific fund managers. He unpacks what services they offer to fund managers, how the business operates and where new technological advancements such as AI are being used to improve the services and overall managed fund industry.Hope you enjoy.
