BNP Paribas has forged a partnership with Tiberius Group to develop a range of actively managed commodity structured products.
Investors will benefit from Tiberius’ experience in commodity management and BNP Paribas’ innovation and leadership in commodity investor derivatives. The products created by the partnership aim to generate alpha across all commodities by selecting those commodities or sub-sectors which are the most likely to outperform based on a rigorous model-based approach developed by Tiberius.
Different from passive commodity investing, the objective of this approach is to improve investment performance in bullish, bearish and stable markets.
“Over the last few years commodity markets have performed very well and given the current environment, we believe that certain sectors and certain commodities will perform much better than others. We aim to provide expert advice, from a leading player in the field, on choosing the winners for investors looking at liquid and transparent exposure,” says Lionel Semonin, head of Commodity Investor Derivatives, BNP Paribas.
“We have invested our efforts on quantitative and qualitative commodity research in order to create significant alpha on the asset class. We chose BNP Paribas to leverage this work into the world of structured products for the benefit of investors believing in commodities for the long term,” adds Nicolas Maduz, managing partner, Tiberius Group.
