Dublin, Dublin City, Ireland Insight Investment Full time

Company Overview:
Insight Investment is a leading asset manager focused on designing investment solutions to meet its clients' needs.

Founded in 2002, Insight's collaborative approach has delivered both investment performance and growth in assets under management. Insight manages assets across its core liability-driven investment, risk management, full-spectrum fixed income, currency and absolute return capabilities.

Insight Investment is owned by BNY Mellon, a global leader in investment management and investment services.

Insight has a clear mission and purpose to offer investors a different approach to achieving their investment goals; one that prioritises the certainty of meeting their chosen objectives in contrast to the traditional focus on maximising return and minimising volatility.


Insight takes responsible investment seriously. In our view, it is as an essential part of deciding whether an investment is fair value.

Insight is a signatory to the Financial Reporting Council's UK Stewardship Code4 and a founding signatory to the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) in 2006.
