Quantitative Investments
Investment solutions designed to meet client needs
Our goal is to provide investment solutions adapted to client expectations in terms of risk, performance and cost. Our expertise is focused on three areas: smart indexing, market access to complex asset classes, and absolute return.
Smart indexing
Smart indexing is an alternative to traditional market-cap indices based on Lyxor’s specific risk contribution analysis expertise. The key benefits of this approach lie in risk diversification, and volatility and drawdown reduction.
Our access solutions
Our access solutions are gateways to asset classes which can present barriers to investment in terms of execution, booking, availability of information and risk management. Examples include emerging market equities, emerging market debt, commodities and volatility. These solutions are designed to offer the performance of relevant asset class while limiting risk exposure.
Our absolute return programs
Our absolute return programs feature dynamic and highly diversified allocations across liquid asset classes. These strategies are implemented through a variety of investment vehicles and are designed to deliver strong risk-adjusted performance that is de-correlated from traditional investments.
Our product range is organised around 3 offerings:
- Smart Indexing: an alternative to traditional beta
- Market Access: to new asset classes
- Absolute Return: performance de-correlated from equity markets
Our strengths
- Innovative indexing solutions
- Managed access to complex asset classes;
- 17-year track record in absolute return strategies
