Interview with Jacques-Aurélien Marcireau, Fund Manager of Edmond de Rothschild Fund Big Data.

Michaël Nizard, Head of Multi-Asset & Overlay, and Delphine Arnaud, Fund Manager Multi-Asset & Overlay, have drawn up, with the team, three scenarios for the resolution of this conflict.

The order of arrival in the first round of France’s presidential election held no surprises. However, the gap between the top three and the others was much bigger than expected.

Unlike 2017, the second round of the French presidential elections appears on the surface to present fewer issues: Emmanuel Macron is now the candidate of continuity while Marine Le Pen is no longer arguing for Frexit.

Edmond de Rothschild Real Estate Investment Management (REIM) completed another equity closing in its pan-European High Yield I Real Estate Debt Fund taking the current equity commitment in the Fund to above EUR 160 million.

Subscriptions to the new financial instrument resulted in a donation to Imagine for Margo, a charity organisation that promotes research on paediatric cancers.

The Edmond de Rothschild Group is pleased to welcome Saman Habibian and Manuel Sturm to the Group, with the aim of growing Private Banking activities in the Middle East.

After the downturn following the invasion of Ukraine, risk assets have been recovering since 8 March, pushing the major equity indices close to or above pre-war levels.

Russia and Ukraine continued to talk but unfortunately a ceasefire still looks like a distant prospect.

Talks between Moscow and Kiev were in focus over the week but they failed to secure a ceasefire despite Ukraine’s president giving up his ambitions to join NATO.

The Edmond de Rothschild Group reported strong and well-balanced growth across all businesses and regions in 2021, reflecting the solidity of its business model and the confidence of its clients.

European equities enjoyed a technical rebound over the period as the Eurostoxx50 volatility index (V2X) fell back to 41 after hitting 50 at the beginning of the month.
