How we built our business

AllianzGI has established strong, fast-growing alternatives alongside its equity, fixed income and multi-asset capabilities.

Client-focused by design
In 2011, following a shift in client demand towards more holistic solutions, two separate asset management businesses – Allianz Global Investors and PIMCO, both owned by Allianz – emerged out of the previous multi-boutique structure.
