The Investment team

With over 30 years of investing across all asset classes, we also benefit from the collective experience and insight of a team with multiple nationalities and backgrounds

STRATEGIC INVESTMENT COMMITTEE

The Strategic Investment Committee meets every week and its main mission is to produce robust market convictions, based on the micro and macro-economic research produced by our analysts, for all asset classes. Every fund manager remains fully accountable and autonomous for the decision-making and the management of his or her funds but benefits from the committee to strengthen the top-down components of their investment strategies.

They aim to contribute to the investment thinking primarily by providing insight into transversal market behaviours, and by acting as a sounding board for investment ideas submitted by specialists. As they do not directly manage funds, they are more available than portfolio managers to share externally relevant information about the investment strategies implemented in our funds.
