Citywire Fund Selector - April 08

FUND SELECTORS FORUM, FRANCE

Fund Selectors Forum, France7 February 2008, Paris

When your own performance is in the hands of the individual managers you select, you want to be sure they have a clear strategy. So in times of extreme volatility, hearing the views of fund managers fi rst hand becomes more important than ever.

But our fi rst country-specifi c forum event of 2008 brought together France’s biggest fund selectors to hear not only about the portfolios of a line-up of investment managers, but also the macro views of some leading fi gures in the fi nancial sector.

Christian de Boissieu, a leading economist and

professor at the Sorbonne, kicked off the event with his assessment of the macro picture – be-fore heading off for a lunch meeting with the French Prime Minister.

Four portfolio managers, operating across a variety of asset classes, then stepped into the spotlight to outline their strategy and holdings before facing a cross-examination by delegates. To round off the event, one of France’s best-known fund managers, former CCR chief execu-tive Marc Renaud, offered his own thoughts on the current state of the market.
