Lyxor Asset Management brings ETF and Indexing units together to broaden its Index Asset Management offering

Bringing together those two activities aim at enhancing its development on the ETF market while merging its ETF business with its non-listed indexing business. This will also allow Lyxor to propose a comprehensive Index Asset Management offering.

Supporting Simon in his new role, two Product Line Managers, reporting to him, will be in charge of product development and strategy: Nizam Hamid, as Product Line Manager – ETF, and François Millet, as Product Line Manager – Indexing.

Commenting on this announcement, Simon Klein said: “We see a very deep trend of our international clients willing to invest in a global and wide range of ETFs and indexing products. Consequently, we actively pooled and strengthened our expertise and set up to fulfill our clients’ needs. This new organization will allow us to meet the clients’ request to optimize their asset management strategies in a very cost efficient way.”

“It is the next logical step to provide our Swiss clients a broader selection of investment solutions, states Roland Fischer, Head of Institutional Sales Switzerland. “The new offering of index funds is something highly anticipated by our institutional clients such as pension funds and insurances.”, he concludes.
