Innovation in Equities

Innovation is part of our DNA. Amundi Equities launched three new active ESG strategies – an area in which a structural shift in client allocations continues. Our ESG Improvers concept, created and developed by Amundi Equities, aims to extract alpha from financially attractive companies, which are also committed to improving their ESG trajectory. Our Sustainable Income range in Europe and Global equities will address a gap in the market for ESG-conscious income investors, by targeting sus­tainable business models with solid dividend yields.

Responsible Investing

The Road to Responsible Alpha

TESG Improvers, our innovative approach, consists of detecting and investing in companies with ESG momentum, who benefit from a solid fundamental investment case and an improving ESG profile.
We seek out two types of companies: “ESG Improvers”, companies portraying a solid investment case and an improving ESG trend, as well as “ESG Winners”, offering quality foundations, attractive valuations and strong ESG ratings. Through this approach, Amundi enables early investors to capture the ESG premium, investing before the trend converts to improve ESG ratings.

Seeking income today for a sustainable tomorrow

The European/Global Equity Sustainable Income strategy offers a unique combination of income and ESG. As the world is changing, investors are becoming increasingly aware of the need to invest into sustainable business models in order to protect not only the future of the world we live in, but also their financial future. Companies have adapted to this new environment and the European and Global Equity Sustainable Income strategy is poised to take advantage of these dynamics. These strategies seek to achieve an attractive level of income and a superior risk adjusted return with a sustainable framework relative to the benchmark. It is fully aligned with Amundi’s strong ESG ambition, leveraging on our Equity Income expertise and extensive ESG capabilities.

Protected Equity Solutions

Our protected equity strategy

Equities can provide great returns over the long run at the expense of being quite volatile. Protection solutions aim to reduce drawdowns, portfolio volatility and can address other issues (e.g. regulatory constraints such as Solvency II). They also reduce the risk of unfortunate market timing. However, structuring reactive solutions which are cost efficient and sustainable over the long run requires expertise. Amundi’s Convexity Solutions team aims to offer asymmetric risk return profiles across its offering. The team has +20 years of experience in managing derivatives and equity volatility strategies, on which it builds when structuring protection solutions. These are bespoke, to best meet the needs of each client. They focus on the most liquid listed equity index options, which are naturally convex. They aim to offer a good balance between reactivity and costs. They range from simple static to sophisticated, actively managed solutions. Protection solutions can be structured for equity strategies managed by Amundi or devised for third party managed equity portfolios.
