IFM Investors is an investor-owned global fund manager with A$163.2 billion under management as at 31 December 2019 across four asset classes: Infrastructure, Listed Equities, Debt Investments and Private Equity.

IFM Investors was established in 1994 by profit-for-members pension funds. The firm is owned by 27 Australian pension funds and has a sole focus on institutional funds management for aligned investors.

A key differentiator for IFM Investors is the philosophical alignment of our firm with the interests of investors. Our priority to maximise net investor returns closely aligns us with the objectives of our owners, many of which are also our clients and invest with us on behalf of their members. New clients invest alongside like-minded, well-capitalised investors that seek to maximise long-term net returns through a patient and strategic investment approach.

IFM Investors seeks and secures investment opportunities internationally and has 443 like-minded institutional investors around the globe. We have offices in in Australia (Melbourne and Sydney), Europe (London, Berlin and Zurich), North America (New York) and Asia (Tokyo, Hong Kong and Seoul). We seek investments that make sense on a risk-return basis for like-minded, well-capitalised institutional investors, which include:

Pension funds
Non-pension investment funds
