Pierre Puybasset is Spokesman of the fund management Team at La Financière de l’Echiquier (LFDE) since 2012.
He started his professional career at Panthéon-Assas University, before joining Enskilda Securities as a Sales Trader. Twenty years later, he was appointed Head of Equity Paris at Enskilda Securities and joined LFDE in 2003.
Since then, Pierre Puybasset has been Fund Manager of Echiquier Agenor (European Small & Mid Cap listed equities), first paneuropean small and mid cap fund of LFDE; Fund Manager of Echiquier Global and finally Spokesman of the fund management team of LFDE.
I started in 1986 as a flow trader at la Bourse de Paris, just before the digitalization of the markets. I wasn’t interested in the law I was studying. I jump in the financial industry by chance. In 2003, I had the opportunity swapping from brokerage to fund management and joined La Financière de l’Echiquier.
I wanted to be independent.
It depends. One day, I take a plane very early to meet some clients in France or abroad, another day, at the office in Paris, I check the news and interact with the fund management team. The team is pretty large, with 35 experts.
I would say team work and interacting with our investors. I particularly enjoy explaining and sharing in the most understable way our strategies and expertise. Pedagogy and transparency are essential for me and for LFDE.
Getting a vision of the next 6 months and some diversification outside Europe, mostly global strategies.
Track record, transparency and, of course, performance.
Be curious, learn from your mistake and work hard!
