Lyxor AM is a management company under French law, approved by the AMF in 1998. It is wholly owned by Société Générale (Moody's Aa1, Standard & Poor's AA-).

Its purpose is to offer the best financial innovations to French and foreign clients (retail investors, institutional investors, management professionals and distribution networks for financial products).

Lyxor AM uses new techniques to provide services in three major investment universes: structured management, index-linked management and alternative investment management.

Together with traditional management techniques, these three major categories have shown their merits. They can be used to:

• Access new sources of performance.
• Optimise the risk/yield ratio.
• Offer the right approach to asset/liability management constraints.
• Take advantage of market opportunities.
