Less than 1% of the 10,902 asset allocation funds in Europe have a track record of 35 years or more1. One of these enduring funds is Carmignac Patrimoine, our flagship diversified strategy, which turned 35 in November. This longevity reflects the resilience and its ability to navigate different market conditions and adapt over time. And this is what the Patrimoine concept is all about – providing an asset allocation solution for investors who want to grow their savings gradually over the long term without worrying about market timing or economic cycles.

What makes Carmignac Patrimoine still relevant today?

Our strategy in a nutshell

Strenghtened commitment to provide an asset allocation solution, regardless of market timing

FLEXIBILITY IN OUR ACTIONS, NOT JUST OUR WORDS

We make full use of our investment limits: an equity exposure of 0% to 50% and a modified duration of –4 to 10. And we move fast to make changes as needed.

STRONGER FUND MANAGEMENT TEAM

We’ve appointed two pairs of experts – in fixed income and in cross-asset investments – and a highly experienced stock-picker, in order to best leverage our performance drivers.

9.7% RETURN BY THE NEW MANAGEMENT TEAM2

What makes Carmignac Patrimoine still relevant today?

The return of inflation after more than a decade of sluggish economic growth triggered sharp market movements and volatility in the equity/rates correlation. Inflation will likely be higher and more volatile in the coming years. That means Fund managers will need to swiftly and accurately predict inflection points in the economic cycle and adapt their portfolios accordingly across all asset classes: equities, bonds, and currencies. A global, flexible, turnkey investment solution might just be the right option for riding through different phases of the economic cycle.

At Carmignac, we draw on a global investment universe and invest across asset classes, sectors, and geographies. We’ve built up expertise in a broad range of financial instruments, enabling us to optimise our asset allocation based on market conditions and our macro outlook. We take full advantage of our permitted range of exposures and don’t hesitate to switch gears in short order when needed.

A balanced fund such as Carmignac Patrimoine has an inherent advantage: it’s designed to provide a dynamic, flexible investment solution capable of adapting to various market conditions.

In response to some challenging periods we’ve experienced over the years, and in order to continuously renew and enhance our Fund’s ability to meet its investment objectives, we’ve strengthened both our top-down and bottom-up capabilities.

We expanded our stock- and bond-picking capacity in order to boost alpha generation. Corporate bonds have been a very profitable asset class in recent years and are consequently a big conviction in our Fund, especially the high-yield and investment-grade segments. We’ve built up a strong team of credit experts to support our growing credit fund range – a big advantage for our diversified strategy. Our credit team’s efficient bond-picking, based on fundamental analyses and in-depth knowledge of each segment of the credit market, has been key for the Fund and is one of our key performance drivers.

We also shored up our equities expertise by hiring a new Fund manager, Kristofer Barrett, in April 2024. His impressive track record and extensive experience across markets constitute valuable additions to the Fund. Kristofer’s approach to global equities is unconstrained in terms of sectors, geographies, market cap, and investment style. He sees potential in companies that offer a secular growth profile driven by innovation, technology, and a unique selling proposition, while also prioritising profitability.

Macro overlay has always been key for Carmignac Patrimoine, which is why we hired cross-asset experts and strengthened our fixed income team. We have two cross-asset managers at the helm of the Fund – Jacques Hirsch and Christophe Moulin – who oversee global portfolio construction and risk management. They work alongside Kristofer in equities and our two fixed income experts – Guillaume Rigeade and Eliezer Ben Zimra – who manage bond picking and the portfolio’s modified duration and currency exposure.

Our firm has longstanding experience in investing across asset classes, sectors, and geographies, allowing us to identify secular growth trends worldwide. Maintaining a long-term vision is one of our core values, as we look beyond short-term market trends. We’ve always taken a holistic approach to Carmignac Patrimoine, carefully examining how all the different elements come together, without considering fixed income and equity as two separate components. We believe that the diversified, dynamic nature of Carmignac Patrimoine combined with the expanded Fund management team will enable us to meet the Fund’s objectives while remaining loyal to its inherent goal: generating significant long-term returns while attenuating the effects of steep market corrections.
