Their analyses and opinions are formalized and stored in our proprietary database, ADAM. This qualitative information is supplemented by quantitative data made up of proprietary peer groups that cover more than 120 asset classes. These universes make it possible to analyse the financial characteristics of products and to benchmark them against comparables.

Amadeis supports its clients in monitoring their strategic and tactical asset allocations.

Based on our in-house research and privileged access to insight from major financial institutions, we produce our own macroeconomic research and define market scenarios that underpin our views on the main asset classes.

Amadeis carries out surveys and strategic studies on various subjects relating to institutional asset management.

Asset managers ranking

Drawing on the opinions expressed by major institutional investors, this annual survey presents:

  • Insight into the trends of the French institutional market as well as an analysis of investor behaviour and expectations for the coming months,
  • Ranking of asset managers by asset class and by type of investor, thus identifying the most popular market players.

Institutional RFP tracking reports

Each quarter, this study presents market news and the main trends in institutional RFP.

The report provides value-added information on the activity of French institutional investors in the selection of asset managers and funds.

The results are notably detailed by type of institution and by asset class.

Institutional management fees report

This study presents the fees charged on the French market by a representative group of asset managers, specialists or generalists, French or foreign.

Produced biannually, the report makes it possible to analyse market practices and trends, and to know precisely the pricing practiced on the market for around fifty asset classes at different levels of assets under management.

Financial management of foundations and endowments

Thanks to its partnership with the CFF (Centre Français des Fonds et Fondations) and to a large number of foundations among its clients, Amadeis has in-depth knowledge of non-profit organizations.

This study presents the main characteristics of this category of investors, whose reserves are constantly growing.
