About amLeague:
Founded in 2010 by Antoine Briant, amLeague offers a new standard for measuring performance of active managers on a comparable,
public and transparent basis through notional mandates. Asset classes and management rules for each mandate are defined by a
panel of major investors closely involved in the development of amLeague since its inception. To date, the amLeague championship
brings together 41 French and international management companies and covers the Euro, Europe Europe SRI, Global , Global Low Carbon
equity universes and asset allocation (Multi Asset Class). The performances are available on : www.am-league.com.
amLeague is a research data provider in asset-management, intended for portfolio managers, investors and TPM.
The notional portfolios operated under amLeague can be converted into strategies or indices and thus be made replicable.
Thus amLeague acts as administrator and calculation agent for active management strategies and indices, some of which are the subject of a replication in investment funds.
