Lombard Odier Investment Managers bolsters 1798 Alternatives with new hire

Alexis Maubourguet to launch uncorrelated absolute return strategy

Lombard Odier Investment Managers (“LOIM”) announces the appointment of Alexis Maubourguet to launch an uncorrelated absolute return strategy for institutional clients, due to go live in early 2020.

Alexis was formerly a Volatility Portfolio Manager at Argentière Capital, where he launched and managed their Relative Value Opportunities fund.

Alexis will leverage his past experience by providing clients with a new strategy, called 1798 ADAPT (Acyclical Diversifying Alpha via Parameters Trading), which aims to benefit from dislocations on derivatives parameters (volatility, correlation, dividends, etc.), both structural and occasional, across asset classes (Equity, FX and Commodity). 

Jean-Pascal Porcherot, CEO of Lombard Odier IM’s 1798 Alternatives, says: “In today’s volatile environment we are seeing high demand for truly uncorrelated strategies. With Alexis joining the team, 1798 will benefit from his extensive experience in volatility and correlation strategies targeting absolute returns. This is an important milestone in strengthening our alternative solutions and reinforces our commitment to managing risk for clients.”

Prior to being a Volatility Portfolio Manager at Argentière Capital for over three years, Alexis was a Portfolio Manager on the Global Emerging Markets and Macro Fund at BTG Pactual. Alexis also spent almost a decade trading derivatives on the sell side for JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank in New York and London. Alexis is based in Geneva and reports to Jean-Pascal Porcherot, CEO of 1798 Alternatives. He joined on 18 November.
