French structured products specialist launches in the UK

|

Established in Paris in 2012, by former Old Mutual head of structured products Steve Lamarque, Hilbert specialises in engineering cross-asset, structured solutions, as well as equities, rates, and commodities.

Two core products

The business is launching two core products; a protected deposit product and bespoke structured solutions.

The protected product follows a strategy that provides the investor with a quarterly coupon, a bonus performance in rising markets, and 100% capital protection achieved through exposure to bonds.

Structured solutions focus on highly customised products with wide access to the investment universe; as well as wide access to market components and bond issuers; and an optimisation of the risk return profile.

Target audience

Hilbert’s product offerings is marketed at pension institutions, asset managers, insurance companies, wealth managers, and IFAs among others.

“My partners and I are delighted to have established our business in London given the growing interest in structured solutions that we have witnessed here over the past two years,” said Lamarque.

“This interest is seen across the span of the market including both the institutional and advisory side, including a growing interest from IFAs and wealth managers who wish to offer clients a more certain outcome.”
