This autumn, Rothschild & Co Asset Management holds onto its position as leading independent asset management company in France in terms of inflows (excluding money markets)1, and 44th out of the 2,500 European asset management companies2.
The Rothschild & Co group’s asset management company recorded net inflows of €2.6 billion in the first half of the year, taking its assets under management to €35 billion, an increase of 6% since January 20243. Our bond expertise, particularly our mature funds, and our Valor range continue to benefit from this momentum. Our R-co Target 2029 IG and R-co Valor funds rank 7th and 11th respectively in the Top 20 French funds in terms of inflows (excluding cash)1.
These results also confirm the European dimension of Rothschild & Co Asset Management. The momentum of the Belgian and Luxembourg markets, which accounted for €181 million, was followed by our high-potential markets, such as Switzerland and Germany. In total, inflows from all these countries accounted for a quarter of the asset management company’s total inflows. “We are delighted that this commercial momentum is spreading to all our locations. It reflects the commitment of our teams based in Brussels, Frankfurt, Zurich and Geneva,” says Quentin Piloy, Head of Sales Benelux, Germany & Austria and Switzerland.
To support our development ambitions in these growth markets, the sales teams were boosted with new hires in the summer, with Rothschild & Co Asset Management welcoming Joséphine Wennerholm in Switzerland, Jonas Hegemann in Germany and Paolo Varela Nunes in the Netherlands, where a new office has been opened. This autumn, clients in Brussels also had the opportunity to discover a new office, as the asset management company moved to a more modern and eco-responsible environment at Rue de la Régence 52, 1000 Brussels.
Between now and the end of the year, Rothschild & Co Asset Management intends to maintain this fine momentum, building on its historic expertise and offering investment solutions that are increasingly tailored to the needs of our clients. Several new funds will also be launched in the near future, notably in the high yield bond segment, and we will also be adding new funds to our range of maturity funds, European equity funds and discretionary funds.
