American Century Investments has announced the launch of an international business arm and the opening of a London sales office.

American Century Investments specialises in offering clients and investors actively managed equity strategies.

The new office in London will initially focus on delivering American Century Investments' equity growth strategies across global growth, emerging markets and US growth equity sectors. The company will soon launch a range of Ucits III funds in order to facilitate the marketing and sale of the firm’s strategies outside the US.

Michael Green, senior vice-president of international business for American Century Investments, said: "More recently, non-US investors have begun to recognise the applicability of our investment approach to their portfolios, creating a tremendous opportunity for expansion.

"The opening of our London office enables American Century Investments to serve this growing client base more effectively and further develop our international distribution."
