Three years, three billion euros<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the last three years, H2O AM has remained true to its investment philosophy and style based on a strong
\nconviction: diversification is a stable and robust source of performance over horizons adapted to the risk
\nincurred. Its fund managers favour relative value strategies, making the most of market inefficiencies and
\nadapting to new regulations.<\/p>\n

H2O AM\u2019s fund range of eight UCITS is perfectly suited to the current environment. In an increasingly
\nregulated environment, its funds achieve superior returns and are liquid and transparent, as reflected by
\ntheir net performances: H2O MultiBonds (+34. 57%)[[French FCP approved by the AMF \/ R share from 30\/08\/2010 to 30\/08\/2013]], H2O MultiEquities (+61.7%)[[French FCP approved by the AMF \/ R share from 30\/08\/2011 to 30\/08\/2013]], H2O Adagio (+12.27%)[[French FCP approved by the AMF \/ R share from 30\/08\/2010to 30\/08\/2013

\nLastly, H2O AM\u2019s entrepreneurial momentum enables its clients to enjoy a privileged relation with the
\ninvestment team, comprised of 19 specialists of which seven fund managers who have been working
\ntogether for more than ten years.<\/p>\n

Growth ambitions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Institutional clients form the basis of H2O AM\u2019s business model, with the main part of assets currently
\nconcentrated in Asia and Australia. Between now and 2015, the team is keen to grow in the French market
\nand to enhance its presence with private banks, family offices and independent asset managers. To this
\nend, H2O AM will continue to rely on the sales momentum of Natixis Global Asset Management\u2019s multiaffiliates
\nmodel and its international distribution platform.<\/p>\n

In addition to these ambitions, \u201cwe must remain vigilant as to our size, as H2O AM\u2019s main objective will always be to seek performance for its clients\u201d<\/em>, underlines CEO Bruno Crastes.<\/p>\n

The challenges of the future<\/strong><\/p>\n

H2O AM\u2019s experts are convinced that liquidity is set to contract under the twin effect of stricter regulations and the gradual withdrawal of central banks\u2019 support. Financial assets, notably bonds, may no longer
\nachieve the performances seen in the last twenty years.<\/p>\n

H2O AM\u2019s first response to this new environment will be to hold to a dynamic decision process, avoiding an excessive accumulation of assets under management. H2O AM believes another major challenge will be to limit directional risk-taking and focus more on relative value strategies. \u201cThe upside of this new environment is that it creates a wealth of arbitrage opportunities, and our structure is flexible enough to lock them in\u201d<\/em>, explains CIO Vincent Chailley.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
