Investment Managers
Sienna Investment Managers is the asset management company of the publicly traded investment holding company GBL.
Our teams have a proven track record in impact investment and offer a broad spectrum of expertise. Sienna Investment Managers has six business lines specializing in the following asset classes: real estate, listed assets, private credit, private equity, venture capital, and multi-manager private equity.
Sienna Investment Managers seeks to challenge the status quo and change mindsets with the firm belief that today’s investments shape the communities of tomorrow. While we naturally strive for performance, we are also committed to priviledge investments that have a positive impact. In the current environment, investors are looking for more than results: their asset managers must commit to making a difference, while anticipating, analyzing, and managing risk in a judicious and agile manner.
Our clients benefit from all of the experience and knowledge of the alternative markets that Sienna Investment Managers’ investment professionals have accumulated over many years within the GBL group.
Starting with a project initiated in 2013, Sienna Investment Managers is currently managing €30 billion of asset value.
Sienna Investment Managers is authorized by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) in Luxembourg and by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) in France. The company has more than 280 employees, with men and women in almost equal numbers and many nationalities being represented.
Thanks to the track record it has built and with the backing of the GBL group, Sienna Investment Managers’ ambition is to become a European leader in third-party asset management.
Sienna pays particular attention to ESG issues in all its investment solutions.
First, this strategy is inspired by the particularly strong commitments of its shareholder GBL- a company listed on Euronext- in the fight against climate change, promotion of diversity, transparency, and access to sustainable finance solutions.
In January 2022, GBL became the first investment holding company at the global level to have climate targets aligned with a 1.5°C trajectory validated by the Science Based Targets initiative.
GBL’s achievements are recognized in particular by the PRI (Evaluation 2021), S&P Global Rating (ESG Evaluation score at 82/100) and Sustainalytics (ESG rating 9.2, “Negligible Risk” status). Sienna IM has been a PRI signatory since 2015, thanks to its initial signatory by Sienna Private Credit. The list of all initiatives joined by Sienna IM and its expertise can be found here.
This applies to its regulated asset management subsidiaries, which are subject to all European directives (in particular SFDR and Taxonomy) and local regulation (such as the Energy and Climate Law in France). These subsidiaries apply the best industry standards in terms of ESG:
