MAQS is one of BNPP AM’s four investment groups
With the creation of the Multi-Asset, Quantitative and Solutions (‘MAQS’) investment group, BNP Paribas Asset Management (‘BNPP AM’) is pursuing its objective of streamlining its organisational structure and enhancing its range of investment solutions.
MAQS, which combines teams from THEAM, CamGestion and Multi-Asset Solutions, is one of BNPP AM’s four investment groups, alongside Private Debt & Real Assets, Equities and Fixed Income.
The MAQS offering is built around a full and innovative range of investment products and solutions within multi-asset, structured and quantitative management.
The creation of MAQS will help meet the growing needs of investors seeking innovative solutions in an environment of uncertainty and polarising demand between low-cost management such as indexed products, and high value-added products that encompass risk management, such as factor management and customised solutions.
Led by Denis Panel, this new investment group aims to offer leading ’quantamental‘ management, combining quantitative expertise with fundamental research capabilities, with risk mangement at the core of its investment philosophy.

With more than EUR 110 billion of assets under management (at the end of September 2017), the new investment group has 130 employees in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, the UK and Hong Kong, and benefits from a broad client base, including both institutional and retail investors.
