Our equity department creates portfolios which aim to outperform the market, while displaying a resilient behaviour during volatile market phases. Our approach is based on 3 pillars:

• We only invest in quality stocks, of which the intrinsic risks are understood and mastered. We apply an exclusion filter, with which we eliminate risks which we do not master or to which we do not want to be exposed.


• We actively manage the sector exposure of our portfolios as a function of the economic cycle in order to master their beta.


• The portfolio management team has the possibility to hedge the portfolio in case of specific market risk.

Our fixed income department has solid expertise in both corporate credit and sovereign debt.

Ranging from thematic strategies to flexible allocation, our investment processes combine a thorough bottom-up know-how with our digital investment platform SPARK, in order to optimise the allocation and expected risk-adjusted returns of the portfolios.

We actively manage credit beta and duration, through dynamic hedging strategies.

Our cross-asset strategies allocate capital dynamically across fixed income (sovereign debt and corporate credit), equities and FX.

Our quantamental investment approach combines the market convictions of our investment committee with our technology SILEX Investment Managers, bringing rigour and robustness in order to optimise our portfolios and their exposures to different risk factors

Our expertise in allocation is complemented by SILEX Group’s solid knowledge of the underlying asset classes.

Convertible bonds are a hybrid asset class. They enable us to profit in part from the upside potential of equity markets, while controlling the level of volatility thanks to the bond component, which acts as a parachute.

Convertible bonds management fits perfectly with the SILEX management philosophy, successfully combining the best of the two worlds between equity and bond management, conviction based management and quantitative management, between performance and risk management, between simplicity and know how.
