What are Sienna Gestión’s areas of expertise?
For 50 years, Sienna Gestion has been an AMF-approved management company, based in Paris, with a team of 60 people. The company belonged to the Malakoff Humanis group, and was sold for two-thirds of its shareholding in March 2022 to Sienna Investment Managers, a European multi-asset platform subsidiary of the Belgian group Bruxelles Lambert. We manage 20,000 million euros in assets, of which 45% for institutional clients and 55% for savers.
Why is it important for you to offer financial solutions aligned with your convictions?
We are Sienna IM’s entity dedicated to listed assets, offering traditional management, diversified and flexible management, rate management through short-term and green bond expertise, and equity management through themes, health, social progress , climate and decarbonization. We have a strong DNA of sustainable and responsible management, in a long-term investment logic, which allows us to seek profitability, while accompanying companies in their transformation around ESG criteria. 76% of our assets are under SRI criteria and 8,000 million are labelled.
In particular, in 2023 we are going to launch a social impact fund that will partly finance French companies, on the topics of inclusion of people with disabilities, gender equality and employment of the elderly.
What are you trying to bring to your investors?
We serve institutional clients and retail clients. For individuals, pedagogy is a very important axis. The idea is to shed light upstream on what the investor subscribes to, then during the life of the investment, inform them, and that what is mentioned upstream is well reflected in the report: “do what we say through the quality of reporting” .
We want to give meaning to the investment, and for this, what better than investing in the real economy, having the ability to interact with the companies in which you invest, and that aligns with the requested criteria. We help you identify your need for capital, your sensitivity to risk and whether your project is short or long term.
For institutions, our flexibility allows us to provide the right products. For example, we are going to offer you a hybrid fund of interest rate and private debt products, the objective of which is to achieve an attractive 12-month return.
What are the developments marking your market today?
There is an increasing need to have products that are part of the long term, and that are no longer completely variable depending on the whims of the stock market.
With the Pacte law and the creation of the PER, the trend is to offer mixed investment solutions, which will combine liquid assets, which reassure investors, and real assets, which will bring more profitability over time, while having an impact on companies and the decisions made. This allows liquidity when needed, while producing higher returns and less volatility. Sienna Gestion relies on the experience of the Sienna IM group to be able to offer assembly products.
