All-in-one portfolio construction

Every Customized Solution client is assigned a team of investment, investor relations and operational professionals. This team helps to achieve the client’s individual investment goals. Ardian develops a specific investment strategy according to the client’s needs and then constructs and maintains a portfolio plan to implement this strategy. Our deep network and investment database allow us to identify top-quality investment opportunities for each customized portfolio. Throughout the life of a customized solution, we steer the allocations to help the client achieve and maintain the desired exposure.
