Pioneer on the Prowl

by: Theresa Sim

Pioneer Investments plans to double its assets under management within three years, and not through organic growth.

InvestmentNews reports that the Boston-based fund company aims to grow assets to $100 billion from approximately $49 billion currently.

The growth mandate is coming from UniCredito Italiano, Pioneer's owners, according to InvestmentNews. "They want to see me get the company up to a size where it's not affected by turbulence anymore," Osbert M. Hood, head of Pioneer Investments, said to InvestmentNews.

By mid-2006, Pioneer may be ready to acquire a fund company with more than $20 billion in assets, Hood told InvestmentNews. The fund firm is currently looking at fund firms in the $20 billion range.

Pioneer completed the acquisition of Birmingham, Alabama-based AmSouth Bancorp's mutual fund assets in September. That acquisition, plus the buy of Safeco Asset Management's fund business in 2004, added more than $8 billion in assets to Pioneer's rolls.
