Lyxor Asset Management (Lyxor) and Koris International launch a commercial and marketing partnership to design investment solutions for distribution across continental Europe based off the funds available on the Lyxor Managed Account Platform. The partnership will last at least two years.
The partnership combines Lyxor's state-of-the-art managed account platform, which applies liquidity and systematic risk control to alternative strategies, with Koris International's extensive quantitative asset allocation technologies, opening a vast field for innovation.
Jean-René Giraud, founding partner and Chief Executive Officer at Koris International sees this partnership as "the reflection of the successful cooperation that has been running for almost a decade with Lyxor Asset Management. We are delighted to roll-out what we believe is a unique combination of asset allocation expertise with cutting-edge operations and infrastructure. Managed accounts are a smart and comprehensive way to gain access to the skill set of hedge fund managers in a transparent and controlled way".
Christophe Baurand, Managing Director and Global Head of Business Development at Lyxor adds: "We are delighted to step up a long-term business relationship with Koris International, a recognised player in the European industry. This new partnership highlights the leadership of Lyxor's Managed Account Platform, which provides a comprehensive framework for Hedge Fund investing. Lyxor's Platform is amongst the largest in the industry in terms of assets under management as well as number and variety of managers and strategies available."
