About Challenger
Established in 1985 and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX:CGF) in 1987, Challenger Limited (Challenger) is an investment management firm managing in excess of $30 billion in assets*.
Challenger is focused on providing Australians with financial security in retirement. We do this by investing to create wealth in the accumulation phase of superannuation, and by converting accumulated wealth into safe and reliable income streams for retirees.
Challenger operates two core investment businesses, an APRA regulated Life division and a fiduciary Funds Management division.
Challenger Life is the foremost issuer of annuities in Australia and manages more than $9 billion for the benefit of more than 60,000 clients*, the vast majority of whom are retired. An annuity is a simple, secure financial product that guarantees a series of payments in return for an upfront investment. Annuities provide investors with the comfort of knowing they will receive a pre-agreed, guaranteed income stream for a specific period of time.
The Funds Management division manages more than $28 billion* and includes Fidante Partners, which partners with boutique fund managers who strive to deliver sustainable superior performance across a broad range of investment strategies. Our Aligned Investments business, which is a significant investor in property, infrastructure and fixed interest in Australia and overseas, seeks to add value for major institutional clients and sovereign wealth funds by arranging and managing co-investments alongside Challenger Life.
