Through innovative strategies, cutting-edge technology, and a client-centric approach, we aim to provide tailored solutions that meet the diverse needs of investors in every corner of the globe. By expanding access to investment opportunities, we empower our clients to achieve their financial goals while contributing to economic growth and prosperity on a global scale. Our dedication to inclusion and accessibility is at the heart of everything we do.
Founded in 2011, Arco Assets Management was established with one mission: to deliver exceptional and sustainable investment results for our clients over the long term. Over the years, this unwavering purpose has driven our growth and shaped our culture. Grounded in rigorous fundamental research, a relentless pursuit of investment insights, and a commitment to innovation, we foster a collaborative environment where ideas are freely exchanged across the organization for the benefit of our clients.
As a global leader in active fixed income, we combine deep expertise across public and private markets with extensive resources, a worldwide presence, and a time-tested investment process. Our approach empowers clients to achieve their long-term financial objectives with confidence.
In our first few years, Arco achieved a significant milestone by surpassing US$100 billion in assets under management (AUM). By the end of 2015, our AUM had grown to $245 billion, reflecting our sustained success and client trust. That same year marked a pivotal moment in our journey with two strategic acquisitions:
These acquisitions enhanced our capabilities, expanded our service offerings, and positioned us to deliver a truly unmatched suite of investment and administrative solutions to our clients worldwide.
At Arco, we prioritize helping our clients achieve their financial goals, knowing their success is our success. We are committed to exceeding expectations and delivering exceptional results.
We hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards, valuing honesty, transparency, and consistency in every action. At Arco, integrity is non-negotiable, as we believe even small breaches can have significant impacts.
We inspire employees and clients to go beyond their limits, valuing consistency and adaptability over perfection. Innovation and a commitment to improvement drive us to lead in asset management.
We aim for sustainable success by embracing cutting-edge technologies, fostering employee growth, and investing in environmentally responsible businesses. Through rigorous analysis, we ensure resilience and satisfaction for both clients and employees.
Arco Assets Management is uniquely structured to align with clients' long-term interests. Unlike most large asset managers, which are publicly traded or owned by financial institutions, Arco’s independence allows it to remain solely focused on investment management without external pressures. Employees and their families invest alongside clients, and their compensation is tied to team and firm performance, fostering a deep commitment to shared, lasting success. This structure enables Arco to maintain a client-centric, long-term approach that benefits both its clients and its team.
Fostering retention among senior investment professionals is pivotal to maintaining expertise and delivering exceptional results for our clients. At Arco, we believe that building a supportive and empowering environment is the foundation of long-term career satisfaction. We offer competitive compensation packages that reflect the value and contributions of our senior team members, ensuring they feel recognized and rewarded for their expertise. Beyond financial incentives, we prioritize professional growth by providing access to advanced training, mentorship programs, and opportunities for leadership development.
By cultivating a culture of respect, collaboration, and continuous improvement, we not only retain top talent but also enable them to thrive, innovate, and inspire future generations within the organization.
