BNP Paribas 
BNP Paribas THEAM Quant fund range has announced the registration of THEAM Quant – Transatlantic Target Premium in its core European markets.

The fund adopts a systematic UCITS income strategy designed to deliver recurring income and capital growth potential through a dynamic, risk-reduced put-writing approach applied across European and US equity markets, the firm said in a statement. It deploys an enhanced option-based framework for more stable premia generation, and a built-in risk-reduction mechanism to mitigate losses in stressed markets. This is complemented by a cost-efficient tail-hedging overlay to improve resilience during market dislocations. the firm said in a statement. Its blended regional allocation aims to deliver a diversified income profile across two major equity markets, Europe and the US, while using option structures capable of navigating both bullish and moderately bearish environments.

It is classified under Article 6 of the EU’s Sustainable Fund Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) and managed by BNP Paribas Asset Management Europe, with a minimum recommended investment horizon of four years.

“With Transatlantic Target Premium, we are extending our quantitative income framework across two of the world’s deepest equity markets,” Vincent Berard, BNP Paribas Global Markets’ head of funds solutions for THEAM Quant funds, said. “Investors increasingly require defensive, systematic income solutions that can adapt to evolving market regimes while maintaining disciplined risk management. This strategy reflects our ongoing commitment to providing transparent, robust, and data-driven approaches to income generation.”

“Appetite for alternative income strategies continues to grow as investors look beyond traditional credit and structured products,” Roberto Bartolomei, BNP Paribas Global Markets’ head of global distribution for THEAM Quant funds, added. “Transatlantic Target Premium offers a compelling option for clients seeking diversified, resilient yield.”
