Seven Capital is an experienced asset management company specializing in absolute return strategies, with over 29 years of expertise. The team has built up a solid reputation thanks to its experience in liquid alternative management at Rivoli Fund Management and in bank market activities, notably at SG Warburg and BNP.
Based in Paris, the company is regulated by the AMF (Autorité des Marchés Financiers) and the CSSF (Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier), guaranteeing management in line with European standards.
Seven Capital's fund management process is based on a systematic approach, combining quantitative analysis of market trends (momentum) with asset allocation techniques to adjust risk according to market dynamics and portfolio structure. Each fund is rebalanced daily to achieve an optimal balance between risk and return, while respecting the specific constraints of the management process.
In addition, Seven Capital favors highly liquid underlyings for all its funds, such as regulated futures markets, large-cap equities, and sovereign bonds or treasuries.

Highly customized management
Thanks to its systematic process, Seven Capital enables investors to choose investment vehicles that correspond to their risk profiles, by defining their volatility target, and therefore their maximum drawdown level. They can also choose between a long-only or long-short universe, and determine the structure of the vehicle (fund, dedicated sub-fund or AMC).
Examples of customization:
This enables investors to structure their portfolios optimally, according to their risk and return preferences.
