Bernard Aybran
“Quantitative strategies have been struggling of late. Many biggest specialists within this area have lagged their traditional peers, often for the very first time in years. Still, our balanced portfolio remains reasonably invested in quants, with two holdings, one on Japan (which comes as an ETF) and one on Europe equity. Both share a common characteristic: they are quite straightforward and do not rely on sophisticated algorithms. Another highlight of our fund selection is that our only emerging equity vehicle is such a conservative portfolio that its performance has recently been much more in line with OECD markets than emerging ones.”
