TOBAM is a research driven asset manager with over 40% of its team involved in portfolio management and research.

TOBAM’s mission is to provide rational and professional solutions to long term investors in the context of efficient (i.e. unforecastable) markets.

The Maximum Diversification® approach, tobam’s flagship investment process founded in 2006, is supported by original, patented research and a mathematical definition of diversification and provides clients with diversified core exposure, in both the equity and fixed income markets. TOBAM is one of the few asset managers in the world to have its investment process recognized and patented by international jurisdictions (US, Japan, Australia, and Canada).

TOBAM expanded its area of expertise to include a new strategy range called LBRTY®, which aims to strongly mitigate the exposure to countries governed by autocratic regimes in portfolios.
. TOBAM has then 3 core areas of expertise:

  • TOBAM’s Maximum Diversification® approach
  • A research driven, Solutions division (TOBAMSolutions®), to create tailored investment solutions for clients
  • A LBRTY® strategy range

In line with its mission statement and commitment to diversification, TOBAM also launched a satellite activity on cryptocurrencies in 2016.
