Ossiam’s global assets under management as of November 11th 2013 stood at €1,014 million. This figure comprises approximately €789 million in smart beta UCITS exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and approximately €225 million in institutional segregated accounts and dedicated funds.
Ossiam is on track to double assets under management this year, having started 2013 with €557 million AUM1.
Bruno Poulin, CEO of Ossiam, said, “We are delighted to have passed the significant €1 billion milestone. Achieving it confirms our leadership position in developing ‘smart beta’ investment funds for investors. It also demonstrates how we stand out from smart beta competitors with product development and our team’s skill set. Our approach is particularly well perceived by institutional investors, including pension funds, fund-of-fund managers, balanced fund managers and discretionary managers at private banks.” In the sphere of exchange-traded funds, Ossiam has had particular success with the US Minimum Variance, Europe Minimum Variance and Emerging Markets Minimum Variance strategies, as well as the STOXX® Europe 600 Equal Weight strategy.
