Investment strategy (ASSET ALLOCATION)
Our investment strategy consulting is primarily aimed at the asset management departments of banks, family offices, pension funds and insurance companies, whether based in France or elsewhere (Monaco, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium, Canada, etc.).
It combines monthly macroeconomics research, as published in Catallaxis, with quantitative and qualitative analysis of the various asset classes thanks to innovative proprietary tools.
Our aim is to determine an asset allocation grid broken down by asset type and region, with a six-month horizon.
