The result is low correlation to equity indices, the objective being to directly extract the active management outperformance. The choice of securities is based on a fundamental approach combining stock-picking and macro-economic analysis.

The specialisation and expertise of our management teams, the convergence of our funds towards the UCITS III European norms, and the proven efficiency of our risk control procedures during crises make Exane AM a unique presence in this field in France.
