Investment solutions to contribute to a better world !

At NextGen, the Invest team is composed of three people: Matthieu Bille, CIO of the company, Adrien Toscan and Axel Bandelier, financial analysts and asset managers. They are the driving force behind the majority of the investment solutions offered to clients. Market de analysis, investment policy, asset management, management reports, fund recommendations, newsletter writing… Their universe is vast, but essential in a world shaken by pandemic, war in Ukraine and galloping inflation. A world where environmental issues are now fundamental. They shed light on their mission.

1 – What is the role of NextGen’s Invest team?

The team is at the service of managers and clients. It defines NextGen’s orientations, develops and manages the investment solutions. It discusses its market views with the six managers in a formal weekly meeting and proposes a model portfolio at the end of each month. This portfolio serves as a framework for the team’s in-house multi-asset certificate, the NXG All Seasons. The team is responsible for the asset allocation but also for the selection of funds and securities. It also prepares client proposals and advises the managers by proposing arbitrage. Finally, the team publishes a monthly market review where it presents its views and a theme that is of interest to NextGen.

Matthieu Bille, who has 20 years of experience in asset management, leads the team and is the main manager of NextGen’s in-house products. He is assisted by Adrien Toscan in the management of internal solutions and Axel Bandelier. Adrien has a decade of experience in wealth and asset management while Axel joined the team last November, following his Master in Finance.

2 – What investment solutions do you offer to your clients?

Based on the excellent performance of our model portfolios, we have decided to launch a product that reflects our investment policy and convictions. It is a diversified solution that invests in several asset classes: equities, bonds, precious metals and real estate. Launched in June 2022, the NXG All Seasons certificate allows to navigate at any time, thanks to its flexible and dynamic allocation.

Our in-house investment solutions combine financial and sustainability criteria. In order to meet the needs of our risk-averse clients, we designed an equity fund in 2020 to cushion sharp falls in equity markets. Its flexible equity allocation, from 25 to 100%, depends on a combination of indicators related to the economic environment, trends and market risks. The stocks selected are global, large-cap and leaders in ESG criteria.

We also wanted to develop a solution that would allow us to select the best-rated companies in terms of gender equality according to some sixty indicators provided by our two main sources, Bloomberg and Equileap: proportion of women on boards of directors, equal pay, inclusion policy for minorities, etc.

Philosophically, NextGen wants to contribute to a better world for future generations.

3 – Is Switzerland strongly represented in your investments?

Switzerland is obviously our market of choice. In addition to the Swiss multinational companies that have a worldwide reputation, our local market is full of little-known nuggets. The favorable economic environment in Switzerland has allowed a number of champions to emerge thanks to a constant search for innovation. We select around 30 promising, solid Swiss companies with a strong comparative advantage in their market to form our equity certificate named NXG Swiss Excellence.

We believe it is important to offer a solution in the Swiss real estate market. We recommend that our clients invest in real estate funds and shares listed on the Swiss market, thus benefiting from diversification and more stable performance over time than with the equity markets. We offer our clients a certificate, NXG Swiss Immo+, which we have created with an external partner, MV Invest, a specialist in real estate in Switzerland. MV Invest is responsible for the selection of the different funds: residential or commercial, French-speaking or German-speaking Switzerland, etc. In addition to its financial appeal, this product has a significant tax advantage: more than 80% of the value invested is not included in taxable assets.

4 – Is the client sensitive to the purpose of his investment: gender equality, sustainable development, renewable energy…?

Of course. There is a growing interest in these aspects. Our clients are showing a real curiosity for these topics. We discuss these matters with them during their visits or through our monthly publications that explore these topics. We are convinced that taking sustainable criteria (environmental, social and governance: ESG) into account, in addition to financial criteria, allows for better risk management and optimal performance.

We are experiencing a small revolution. There is now a global momentum driven by massive plans to support renewable energies in China, Europe and the United States to fight global warming. Capital flows will be directed towards the most innovative companies in the search for solutions. The client, through these investments, participates directly in the effort to create a less energy-intensive and more equitable society. There is therefore a rare alignment of values between clients, capital management professionals, companies and governments. It is together that we will succeed in making progress on these issues that affect us all as human beings.

5 – Can we really measure the impact of sustainable finance?

We get asked this question a lot by customers and a lot of numbers are floating around. It’s a fast-moving world. It’s exciting to be part of that evolution!

We work with the Geneva-based company Conser, which specializes in ESG ratings and the measurement of environmental and social impacts. They produce an ESG report on our NXG Equity Risk Managed fund twice a year and help us in our stock selection. On the bond side, our clients can invest in green bonds that are dedicated to a specific environmental project whose impact is easy to measure. Finally, we select and invest in “impact investing” funds that provide comprehensive reports on the ESG impact of their investments.
