Paris, December 12th 2024: Based in Paris, Vianney Hocquet joins Edmond de Rothschild AM’s fixed income investment team led by Alain Krief, which manages €8.6 billion1. Vianney will be co-lead on the Hybrid Corporate Debt strategy together with Marc Lacraz, also a portfolio manager at Edmond de Rothschild AM.
Edmond de Rothschild AM was a pioneer in hybrid corporate debt2 and has raised over €700 million in the strategy in three years, making it a major player in Europe in this non-financial subordinated debt.
Vianney Hocquet joins Edmond de Rothschild AM with almost 15 years' experience in European bond markets. He was previously Senior Credit Manager at Amundi, first in London and then in Paris, where he managed benchmarked, total return and dated global bond portfolios, as well as Euro credit strategies. In particular, he was the lead manager on the subordinated debt strategy. Previously, he held the same position at Pioneer Investments in Dublin (acquired by Amundi in 2017), where he helped launch and manage a global subordinated bond fund. He began his career at BNP Paribas in Paris as a proprietary bond trader in 2010. Vianney holds an engineering degree from École Polytechnique, as well as an MSc in Financial Mathematics from Stanford University in California.
Alain Krief, Head of Fixed Income at Edmond de Rothschild AM, said: "We’re pleased to welcome Vianney to our team of 13 bond market professionals. His expertise and deep knowledge of hybrid corporate debt, a new and fast growing asset class, will support our continued development with this strategy, where assets have doubled in a year.”

2. Hybrids are subordinated bonds issued by non financial companies. They are junior to other bonds - secured or unsecured - and are only senior to equity, and therefore provide a higher coupon than traditional bonds.
