Le succès des fonds de dette auprès des investisseurs institutionnels s'explique sans doute ainsi. Et justifie que La Banque Postale AM ait récemment créé pour ses clients une activité de cette nature. A sa tête, René Kassis revient pour Newsmanagers sur les caractéristiques des compartiments infrastructures et immobiliers qu'il gère. Non sans rappeler que si cette activité est rentable, elle n'en impose pas moins des moyens importants...

Allianz France mène une réflexion sur la valeur ajoutée d'une gestion active au sein de sa poche actions

Vincent Falantin, directeur de la stratégie d’investissement d’Allianz France à la rédaction de www.institinvest.com : « Nos investissements outre-Atlantique s’effectuent via une gestion active, mais aussi passive étant donnée la difficulté à surperformer sur longue période le marché américain. C’est pourquoi, nous menons une réflexion sur la valeur ajoutée et la nécessité d’une gestion active au sein de notre poche Actions, contre une gestion purement passive de notre portefeuille ». Allianz France laisse trois ans au gérant pour surperformer son benchmark. Si, à cette échéance, il n’y parvient pas, il le sort du portefeuille. La gestion de la poche Actions est supervisée par Frédéric Andrès.

Investors concerned that global economic recovery could falter

Investor optimism over the global economic recovery and corporate profits has been dented as the tail risk associated with the U.S. economy has escalated, though sentiment towards Europe has improved, according to the BofA Merrill Lynch Fund Manager Survey, taken from October 4 to October 10, of a sample totalling USD643bn. Expectations for a recovery in corporate profits have fallen. Last month, a net 41 percent said they expected corporate profits worldwide would improve in the following 12 months – that figure has tumbled to a net 28 percent in October. A net 18 percent believes that corporate profit margins will decrease in the coming year, up from a net 11 percent a month ago. As a corollary of this lesser optimism, asset allocators have scaled back their equity holdings. A net 49 percent of global asset allocators are overweight equities, down from a net 60 percent in September. In another significant development, investors and asset allocators have increased allocations towards global emerging market equities and have indicated in October’s survey that they see value in the region. The signals towards global emerging markets are not universally positive, however, says BofA Merrill Lynch. Nonetheless, a net 38 percent of the global respondents say that emerging markets equities are the most undervalued of all the regions - in contrast, a net 63 percent says the U.S. is the most overvalued region.
