Loomis Sayles Expands European Presence With Formal Launch of Loomis Sayles (Netherlands) B.V.

• Utrecht office is home to Loomis Sayles Euro Credit team which manages EUR1.50 billion in assets across three strategies
• AIFM license approval supports expansion of Loomis Sayles’ capabilities within the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region

UTRECHT, Netherlands--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Loomis, Sayles & Company, the global investment manager with EUR286 billion in assets under management as of 30 September 2023, today announced the launch of Loomis Sayles (Netherlands) B.V. in Utrecht, The Netherlands, to further expand the firm’s global footprint and build on its nearly century-old reputation for offering excellence in active management.

The formal launch of Loomis Sayles (Netherlands) B.V. follows on the recent approval by Dutch financial regulator Autoriteit Financiële Markten (AFM) of the office’s Alternative Investment Fund Manager (AIFM) license with MiFID top up permissions. With the AIFM license, Loomis Sayles broadens its capability to offer investment solutions within the EMEA market, helping to meet the distinct needs of clients and the consultant community in the region.

The Loomis Sayles Euro Credit team anchors the Netherlands office. The team is co-led by portfolio managers Rik den Hartog and Pim van Mourik Broekman, and includes five additional portfolio managers as well as two product management professionals.

Backed by Loomis Sayles’ leading data infrastructure, the Euro Credit team seeks to produce consistent excess return potential versus the benchmark using an active, conservative alpha investment process that aims to capitalize on inefficiencies in the euro-dominated credit market. As of 30 September 2023, the team manages EUR1.50 billion in assets across the following three strategies that are of significant interest to the firm’s European clients:

- Loomis Sayles Sustainable Euro Investment Grade Credit
- Loomis Sayles Euro Investment Grade Credit
- Loomis Sayles Euro High Yield Credit

In 2012, Boston-based Loomis Sayles established its presence in the United Kingdom and Asia with the opening of offices in both London and Singapore. The new Utrecht office furthers our commitment to clients outside the United States.
