Experience - Professional Money Management Since 1928
Excellence in investing requires an innovative spirit. Pioneer Investments
flagship fund, Pioneer Fund - the fourth oldest mutual fund in the United
States - was founded in 1928 and has been outperforming the S&P 500
index in every 10 year period. After helping to establish the modern US
mutual fund industry, Pioneer was the first asset management company in
Germany to register US mutual fund under the foreign Investments Act.
It continued this innovation as first to distribute open ended investment
funds in Poland. Before the acquisition of Pioneer Investments by UniCredito
Italiano, Credito Italiano was among the first to establish a European
mutual fund, the Luxembourg based Capital Italia (1969), which is still
doing well and is a top performer. Original thinking is the foundation
of Pioneer Investments asset management, which has grown to over 230 investment
professional worldwide. Recently Pioneer Investments has expanded into
the Far East, with offices in Singapore and Hong Kong. Responding to shifting
investor needs, it offers an increasingly diversified family of investment
products. In addition to the development of a full range of equity and
fixed income funds, it provides an established range of alternative investment
products.
