SEVEN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT : The company

Absolute Performance Management providing different and innovative solutions

Why Absolute Performance Management? Because we firmly believe that management must be active in order to most closely meet the essential objective of any investor, that is, over-performing in any type of market configuration and protecting capital during correction or crash phases.

How are you different - what is your methodology to achieve this? 

  • Seven Capital has developed management processes based on momentum for its entire range, so as to serve this "Absolute Performance" approach. Formerly reserved for “initiated" investors, such absolute performance management is now accessible through funds regulated under European law, management mandates, dedicated funds and certificates. 
  • Furthermore, the Seven Capital management process is totally systematic, which guarantees rigor, serenity and reproducibility, unlike so-called discretionary processes.
  • Consequently, the Seven Capital management process enables investors to fully know in advance the risks they are exposed to in terms of volatility, maximum loss (max draw-down) and duration of recovery.

These three elements give Seven Capital products their differentiation and complementarity.

What are your instruments for management?

As we have a high concern for the liquidity of our products, we are only involved in ultra-liquid vehicles:

  • Ultra-liquid futures in rates and equity
  • Large-cap single stocks with high daily transaction volume .
  • French Treasury Bonds for liquidity.

Your range brings innovative solutionsin portfolio compartments: 

Our range meets the needs of investors for their different portfolio compartments :

  • Core Portfolio: Active Flexible Diversified Fund with "Absolute Performance" approach.

  • Absolute Performance" Management

Your historical record demonstrates the relevance of your approach:

The outperformance capacity and the solidity of our investment process have been tested in our various funds since 2007 with two major markets shocks (2008/2009 – 2011/2012). In both cases all the aims of our management methodology have been reached  that is, over-performing in any type of market configuration and protecting capital during correction or crash phases. Controlling losses is a powerful long-term performance generator. It is therefore more important not to lose or to lose little than to seek performance at any cost.
