The investment management arm of Stamford Capital has launched its fourth fund, seeking to raise $100 million.

Insignia said it has yet to receive a formal takeover offer from the global investment giant as it continues to field other major offers.

The global asset management company - which houses £665 billion assets under management - has announced the appointment of a new chief executive following Abdallah Nauphal's decision to retire.

Investors are heading into the New Year with many of the same concerns they had at the start of 2024, with interest rates and inflation to dominate once again.
