Absolute Return Funds

A pioneer in the development of absolute return funds, our expertise means we design strategies that aim to deliver an absolute return regardless of market conditions.

The search for absolute return

Absolute return funds aim to deliver a positive return in all market conditions rather than outperform a benchmark.

A complete range of solutions

We offer a complete range of absolute return strategies and associated investment solutions in the form of open-ended funds, mandates and fund of funds.

This diversity allows us to choose dynamic and innovative positions but manage volatility. Our objective is to deliver a positive return, even in a market downturn. 

Amundi has pioneered volatility arbitrage and today is one of the main providers in this sector.
