BNP Paribas AM Creates New Investment Group To Streamline Firm
The new operation will be one of the firm's four investment groups, alongside private debt and real assets, equities and fixed income.
BNP
Paribas Asset Management has created the multi-asset,
quantitative and solutions (MAQS) investment group to streamline
its organisational structure and enhance its range of investment
solutions.
MAQS, which combines teams from THEAM, CamGestion and multi-asset
solutions, is one of BNPP AM’s four investment groups, alongside
private debt and real assets, equities and fixed income, the firm
said in a statement.
The new group will be led by Denis Panel, and it aims to offer
“quantamental management”, which combines quantitative expertise
through research with risk management. The firm also believes
that the group will help meet investors’ changing requirements
with the inclusion of the environmental, social and governance
(ESG) criteria in the development of investment solutions offered
by MAQS.
MAQS will be made up of four areas: multi-asset, led by
Christophe Moulin; quantitative and index-based management, led
by Isabelle Bourcier; structured investments, led by Gilles
David; and solutions & client advisory, led by Anton Wouters,
which offers tailored solutions for pension funds and insurance
companies.
“In a changing world, investors are seeking investment solutions
that better address their specific needs, whether greater
protection against the risks of market volatility or strategies
that meet regulatory constraints,” said Panel. “Combining our
capabilities into a single investment group will allow us to
better meet investors’ needs by generating alpha and revenue,
protecting capital, controlling risk and providing beta exposure.
Our quantamental approach combines the best of quantitative and
fundamental techniques to offer our clients innovative investment
solutions backed by robust risk management.”
Recently, this publication reported that the wealth management
arm of BNP Paribas
launched a new study, which said more “elite” entrepreneurs
want to make a positive impact through their businesses.
