ODDO BHF through its asset management arm ODDO BHF Asset Management wins the Scope Award 2021 as best asset manager for Multi Asset
ODDO BHF through its asset management arm ODDO BHF Asset Management wins the Scope Award 2021 as best asset manager for “Multi Asset” in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. This is the first time ODDO BHF Asset Management has won this prestigious award launched by the independent rating agency Scope Analysis 15 years ago. All multi-asset funds distributed in Germany have been thoroughly scrutinized for the award, in particular the four ODDO BHF Polaris funds. Managed and/or advised by ODDO BHF’s private wealth manager ODDO BHF Trust the ODDO BHF Polaris Fund range offers investors four different risk profiles: ODDO BHF Polaris Moderate, ODDO BHF Exklusiv Polaris Balanced, ODDO BHF Exklusiv Polaris Dynamic and ODDO BHF Polaris Flexible. The award illustrates the robust track-record of the ODDO BHF Polaris funds and the stability of their investment process.
The Scope award is based on a two-stage evaluation process. It includes firstly a quantitative evaluation of the performance and risk data analyzed for the Scope Rating, which is updated monthly, combined with performance (momentum) in the last 12 months. In a second step, the five best asset managers based on the quantitative analysis are qualitatively assessed according to aspects such as organization, people and processes. This second step enables forward-looking statements on the quality of funds and managers. Investors who choose ODDO BHF's multi-asset funds can therefore be confident that they are investing in a particularly promising fund strategy according to Scope.
ODDO BHF Asset Management was also nominated as one of the best managers for “Equity small caps” which also include some midcaps funds. It means that flagship products such as ODDO BHF Avenir Europe and ODDO BHF Active Small Cap are also among the outstanding funds in Germany.
Scope Analysis is part of the Scope Group, the leading provider of independent ratings, research and risk analysis for all asset classes. Scope analysts evaluate the risk and return profiles of investment funds and the quality of asset managers on a daily basis. With their ratings, analyses and research reports, they support investors in their investment and selection decisions.
Investors in all the funds mentioned must be aware that they must bear the risk of capital loss. Past performance is not a reliable indication of future return and is not constant over time.

Equities remain unmatched over the long term
Three British economists—Paul Marsh and Mike Staunton of the London Business School, and Elroy Dimson from Cambridge University—have embarked on a meticulous endeavour: they have traced 35 stock markets around the world as far back as possible to test a core theoretical question of investment.

The moment of truth for public debt
Economic crises leave a legacy of high public debt. Expansion phases should be used as an opportunity by governments to reduce their debt and rebuild some headroom in their public finances. This is easier said than done. Let’s look at what happened after the last two major crises.
The end of the American dream?
We must confess that we have a strategic "bias" in favor of the US market. The past 15 years proves us quite right. Since the end of the 2007-2008 Financial Crisis, Europe has outperformed for only 27 months, or just over 2 years. This structural outperformance of the US vs. Europe is mainly explained by a more robust EPS dynamic in the US.
