Di seguito una sintesi dei principali punti emersi durante il meeting.
Eastspring Investments - Eastspring Asia Equity Income Fund
Eastspring’s Asia equity income strategy leverages deep local insights across diverse Asian markets, identifying both stable dividend yielders and growing income opportunities.
The approach is style agnostic and forward-looking, blending traditional income sources such as financials and utilities with emerging alpha themes including technology and corporate reform. Eastspring targets three categories: stable yielders, dividend growers, and yields in recovery, ensuring a balanced exposure and capturing structural growth and policy-driven changes. Robust fundamental analysis and engagement with companies underpin dividend sustainability, factoring in both capacity and willingness to pay. ESG and corporate governance considerations are central to stock selection, safeguarding long-term performance and stable payouts.
The strategy is constructed bottom-up, balancing styles and minimizing unintended biases, offering investors a mix of income and capital appreciation with reduced volatility. Eastspring’s strategy is well-suited for diversified portfolios, providing steady dividend streams and exposure to Asia’s dynamic equity landscape.
Exane Asset Management - Exane Equity Select Europe
Exane Equity Select Europe is a core European equity fund managed by Exane Asset Management.
The fund’s philosophy focuses on its competitive advantages — rigorous stock selection and disciplined processes. Each sector is managed by a dedicated expert PM‑analyst, enabling deep research and precise stock picking— the core driver of the fund’s long‑term outperformance. The strategy is deliberately neutral in terms of macro, sector or style exposures, avoiding value‑versus‑growth biases and insulating the portfolio from the market rotations that often undermine active managers. This consistency is reinforced by strict risk controls: tight monitoring of beta, style factors, market‑cap exposure and ESG criteria. To ensure that no single position can compromise the overall portfolio, every investment undergoes thorough risk assessment to prevent unintended tilts or excessive bets.
Despite the challenges of active management, the fund has demonstrated remarkable regularity, recording only one bottom‑quartile quarter since inception—an approach that, as Richard Pandevant, co-PM of the Fund alongside Eric Lauri, notes, “wins like Federer: by being consistently better, point after point.”
